  3. 10 CLASSIC JEWELRY PIECES TO INVEST IN

10 CLASSIC JEWELRY PIECES TO INVEST IN

10 CLASSIC JEWELRY PIECES TO INVEST IN
Author: 
The Team
Whether you have a limited or endless budget, every woman deserves to have certain jewelry pieces in her collection. Suppose you decide to invest in your jewelry collection. In that case, these are the pieces you should purchase from a reputable jeweler.


1. Diamond stud earrings
Studs come in various settings, bezel, basket setting, or martini setting. Many people prefer a traditional classic four-prong setting, while others prefer the bezel setting's simplistic no-nonsense style. Round stones are popular, but you might consider princess cut or cluster as well.  We love the three-prong martini setting; it allows the diamond to stand-out and shine! 

2. Tennis bracelet
This style was made famous by tennis champ Chris Everet in 1987. She asked that the game be stopped during a match while she searched for her lucky tennis bracelet, and a classic was born! Although she lost the game, Chris Everet started a new trend that has become a jewelry staple for every woman’s collection. Tennis bracelets now come in different styles, including traditional linear diamond styles, bolo, and alternative gemstones such as sapphire. 
3. Hoop earrings
Small or medium-sized hoops are a great everyday style and a must-have for your wardrobe! Larger hoops are perfect for summer, festivals, or weekend retreats with the girls. Define your style by wearing unconventional shapes like an oval, octagon, or even square-shaped hoop. 

4. Chain Necklace 
A chain necklace is essential to your jewelry collection. Choose a thick statement piece or a thin pendant chain to show off your style. Chains range in length from 14" - 32", giving the wearer lots of layering and matching neckline choices. An 18" chain will generally rest just below the collar bone.

5. Cocktail Ring
Having a statement ring in your collection is a must-have for all the special occasions in your life. Made famous in the Roaring ’20s, cocktail rings new and old are breathtaking, featuring prominent designs, unique shapes, and vibrant colors. A symbol of rebellion and female independence, cocktail rings are also commonly called right-hand rings. Wearing a cocktail ring to your next event is sure to get you noticed.

6. Pendant Necklace
Wear a classic pendant necklace every day with button-up blouses or a plain white t-shirt. Wear your pendant for fashion, religion, or tradition. Your style will show by your choice of charms, which come in many varieties, including birthstones, coins, diamonds, or organic shapes. We recommend wearing an adjustable necklace chain to make your pedant necklace more versatile for everyday wear. 

7. Tiffany-style bracelet
This heavy cable link chain bracelet has been the highest-selling style bracelet of all time. Add meaningful charms for personalization or wear as a classic statement piece on its own. It is a bold, definitive statement piece worn every day to the office or casually with a t-shirt. 

8. Pearls
Whether you choose to invest in earrings, bracelets, or necklaces, this is an investment piece of jewelry worth a splurge. Pearls used to be worn only for special occasions. However, now you can give any everyday wardrobe a polished look with your pearls. They come in many classic or modern styles. 
9. Long Necklaces
Long necklaces are versatile, making them fun to wear all year round. In the cooler months, they look great over a sweater, and in the warmer months, they are the perfect addition to a lighter wardrobe. They are also fun to layer with other necklaces for a fun boho look in the summer. 
10. Bangle Bracelet
When your outfit lacks a certain "je ne sais quoi," a simple or bangle two is a quick, timeless, and beautiful addition!  Bangles are great for wearing alone or layering with your everyday watch or other bracelets. Layer them over your tops' cuffs to show them off, and feel free to mix metals for a modern look.
