The idea of everyday jewelry has become a hallmark of modern style. Think: Effortless pieces that can be tossed on anytime, not merely for evening or an event. New York-based jewelry brand Oradina crafts pieces in silhouettes that effortlessly fold into the day-to-day aesthetic using unadulterated gold. Forgoing all plating and vermeil, Oradina works exclusively in solid gold for pieces designed to last a lifetime — and, for a limited time, readers of The Zoe Report can enjoy an exclusive 15% discount with the code ZOE15.

Exquisite Solid Gold That Stands Up To Everyday

With three generations of jewelry-making in its DNA, Oradina crafts its hypoallergenic jewelry from solid gold — ranging from 10 to 18 karats — for pieces that will not tarnish, no matter how often you wear them in the pool or to hot yoga. Oradina only uses solid gold that is ethically sourced, while all its diamonds are natural rather than lab-grown. With such luxurious core materials, Oradina’s catalogue offers an accessible way to build a fine jewelry collection without sacrificing quality.

Not only are Oradina’s pieces heirloom-quality, they’re also affordable thanks to the direct relationships the brand has with suppliers (that means no retail markups). It has also managed to curate a range of multiple aesthetics, from understated to statement-making. Look for slender chain necklaces, classic gold hoops, and trendy charms. You’ll find accessories bold enough to carry an outfit on their own, as well as delicate pieces to stack with other treasures in your collection. Scroll on to shop some of the most coveted.

A must-have heirloom-quality piece for any jewelry collection, once you put this ring on, you may never take it off.

Available sizes: 4 — 11

A Figaro Chain Necklace For Layering

This Figaro chain would make an irresistible addition to any necklace stack; the delicate silhouette and variegated shapes of the links are textural without being overwhelming, and can easily blend with other styles of jewelry. Crafted in Vicenza, Italy, from solid gold — you can choose either 10 or 14 karats — it’s available in a variety of lengths, but this 16-inch version is especially ideal for layering with a shorter choker.

This Triple-Decker Ring For An Instantly Stacked Look

Made in Arezzo, Italy, from solid 14-karat gold, this effortless ring gives the instant illusion of a curated look.

Available sizes: 6 — 10

A Delicate Pendant You Can Wear As A Choker

The standout feature of this necklace is its adjustable 17-inch chain, which can be worn as short as 15 inches to form a choker, as you prefer. A delicate oval pendant extends from the slender chain, all crafted from solid 14-karat gold. Made in Istanbul, Turkey, this necklace may be dainty, but it’s no less noticeable for its delicacy — if you style it as a choker, try pairing with a chunkier chain for a bit of contrast.

An Initial Stud Earring For Multiple Piercings

Those with multiple piercings will no doubt appreciate this initial stud earring — it’s a personalized way to add an asymmetrical touch to your earring stack. The design is crafted in Arezzo, Italy, from solid 14-karat gold with a scant 0.25-millimeter diameter. Use it to mix and match with other earrings in your collection — or try out the brand’s suggestion, and purchase a stud with the first initial of your last name to accompany it.

A Stacking Ring Studded With Natural Diamonds

Studded with 19 natural hand-matched diamonds, this ring adds glitter to your stack — but the subtle luminosity will also catch eyes when worn singly.

You’ll find the ring remarkably versatile, pairing with everything from dainty bands to chunkier textures.

Available sizes: 6 — 9 | Available colors: 2

A Bracelet Made Of Gleaming Gold Pearls

Gleaming gold beads are the textural eye-catching feature of this bracelet, which would look just as incredible stacked as worn alone.

The balls’ slender diameter is subtle enough for casual everyday wear.

The 7.5-inch bracelet is crafted from solid 14-karat gold in Istanbul, Turkey.

An Elegant Herringbone Chain Choker

An elegant take on the choker trend, Oradina crafts the Park Avenue choker from 14-karat gold in Istanbul, Turkey.

A Slender, Delicately Textured Bracelet

This delicate bracelet understands the impact that varied textures can have on a design: Dainty gold tubes punctuate the whispery chain to gorgeous effect.
