But on days when you aren't content wearing a piece owned by thousands of other women, your salvation from fashion monotony can be found in accessories that creatively push the envelope. Here are 10 gorgeous bracelets, necklaces, earrings and rings that are not made from either gold or silver.

Speaking of pieces that are mindful of body and soul, MoJo's bracelet is made from pink jade, which holds a "caring and calming energy that can help ease disruptive sleep," rose quartz, known as the "universal love, self love, and true love stone," and lava rock, which is said to "hold the Earth's healing mysteries and help the wearer realize her inner journey," according to founder and artist Josie Pavone.
