Gone are the days of throwing on whatever gym clothes you can find. Today, women are just as invested in their activewear as their designer dresses. It’s a time of adaptability, where we seamlessly transition from the gym to the streets, brunch, and beyond. This era demands versatile accessories, and fine jewelry is no exception– especially gym jewelry.
My Gym Jewelry Essentials
Personally, working out is a daily ritual, and I’ve been wearing jewelry to the gym for years. I feel my best not at a formal restaurant but in my athletic wear, hitting the weight bench. My gym jewelry capsule collection consists of two essential pieces: diamond stud earrings and an everyday diamond pendant. These are the most versatile pieces of jewelry you’ll ever invest in.

The Everyday Diamond Pendant: A Gym-Goer’s best friend
My diamond pendant is a constant companion and the only piece of jewelry I wear 24/7/365. It’s a simple, gorgeous solitaire diamond on a secure fine quality chain. There are a few different ways this timeless style is made, with the version I offer being the most modern and fresh iteration of a jewelry classic.

The fixed diamond, as opposed to a free-moving one, prevents it from sliding around or bouncing endlessly. It keeps the clasp in the back, and the diamond in the front. This is crucial for activities like running, lifting, and yoga. All of these fitness activities are challenging enough without having to constantly adjust your gym jewelry.
DIAMOND STUDS: elevating your workout wardrobe
Diamond stud earrings are even more effortless for fitness fashion. They’re the ultimate slip-on-and-go accessory, and provide an instant and effortless style for a fabulous look. Avoid hoops or drop earrings for your gym jewelry as they can be dislodged during intense workouts. The fast movement and pace can jar even the most secure setting from its perched place in the ear.

When purchasing diamond stud earrings, make sure to take the earring back style into consideration. A common misconception is that the common screw back is the most secure setting. However the threads can get stripped easy, and for a larger diamonds, they don’t provide the support to showcase the stone at its best. I always recommend an oversized friction back for general safety and security. Diamond earrings are great pieces of gym jewelry, but a good rule to follow is to stay away from earrings that drop and swing.
Less Is More: Minimalist Jewelry at the Gym
While you might see women at the gym with layers of chains and pendants, I believe less is more when it comes to fitness accessories. Whether it be a single pendant, or a simple diamond chain, a good rule to follow when you are committed to your fitness is that minimal distractions and minimal accessories is best.

Gym Jewelry Mistakes
- Hands-On Hazards: Remember, rings and bracelets are a no-go for most fitness activities. Yoga, Pilates, boxing, and weight training require hands-on impact that can damage or bend even the most resilient metal and diamond work.
- Bending Bling: Gold and Platinum are malleable precious metals and should be treated as such. All jewelry is going to require ongoing maintenance to keep it looking at wearing its best. But if you choose to wear your jewelry for more high wear point activities like the gym, be prepared for more frequent repairs.
- Lock it or Lose it: Finally, avoid tossing your jewelry in your locker or purse. For maximum security, leave it at home. By establishing a routine for storing your jewelry, you’ll minimize the risk of loss. The best way to prevent loss is to always leave your jewelry in the exact same and secure place at home.
A Healthy Mind, A Sparkling You
With your fitness jewelry fashion in place, you can confidently rock your carats from home to the gym and go on with your day. A healthy mind and body are certainly the most important accessories you can invest in. Your fine jewelry is simply the finishing touch, showcasing the sparkle that comes from within after a good glossy session at the gym.
