Just like clothing, jewelry trends are ever-changing. It can feel like a pair of earrings is out of style as quickly as it was in-style. While it’s fun to keep up with what’s current, it’s important to invest in a wardrobe that doesn’t go out of style. Much like a classic white t-shirt or denim jacket, some accessories have passed the test of time.
Here are ten items that will help build a timeless jewelry collection.
Gold chains
Chains are always popular. They can be worn as a single statement piece or layered for a streetwear look. Stock up on different types of chains to create the ultimate ensemble. Chunky chains or delicate links can transform your outfit.
Tennis Bracelet
This legendary bracelet is named after tennis player Chris Evert. She famously lost her diamond bracelet during the US Open in 1987. From 1987 till now, you can’t go wrong with its simple style and beautiful diamonds. Tennis bracelets come in a variety of metals and gems. They look great paired with a watch or bracelet.
Pearls
Pearls are versatile and look great in any form. They are an elegant accessory as necklaces, earrings, or rings. They can be a long-term investment that can be passed down for generations.
Stacking Rings
Stacking rings can be worn alone or paired together. Mix and match them to create a stylish collection.
Classic Watch
A classic watch can last you a lifetime. You want to find a wristwatch that can seamlessly go from day to night. The Cartier Tank is an example of a watch that has never gone out of style. A time capsule watch will add polish to any outfit.
Diamond Studs
Add a touch of sparkle to your ensemble. Dressed up or down, diamond studs are a complement to any outfit. They can be worn just about anywhere, making them effortless.
Hoop Earrings
The addition of hoop earrings makes the most casual of outfits look pulled together. Hoops come in various sizes and metals, allowing you to change the vibe. You can add large hoops for an evening out or small ones for a subtle bit of bling.
Cocktail Ring
This ring, often set with large colored gemstones surrounded by diamonds, is your chance to add a splash of color to your collection. The cocktail ring gets its name from the US prohibition era in the 1920s when drinking alcohol was prohibited by law. The colorful rings became fashionable in the socializing scenes of speakeasies, where bon vivants gathered in secret to indulge in cocktails. Today, these rings are still associated with a sense of fun and glamour.
Bangles:
While the bangle takes many forms, it never goes out of style. The Love bangle by Cartier, for example, is one of the most popular pieces of jewelry in recent time. Bangles easily transition to different seasons, adding fun to sundresses or sweaters.
Everyday Pendant:
Wearing a subtle pendant is a way to personalize your jewelry. You want to find a necklace that is like a second skin. You might even forget you are wearing it. These pendants can blend seamlessly with your other accessories. You can wear your initials, an heirloom, or a fun shape. A pendant is an easy way to add a personal touch to your look.
