Diamonds are a girl’s best friend–but they’re not her only friend.
Don’t get us wrong. Diamonds and other high-quality jewelry are always a popular choice, whether you’re shopping for yourself or someone else.
But while jewelry may be some of our favorite accessories, there are certain types of jewelry every woman should own.
In this post, we’ll list 6 classic jewelry pieces your wardrobe simply can’t do without. Read on!
1. Gold Chain
When it comes to iconic jewelry, it doesn’t get classier than a gold chain.
The possibilities are endless, from a striking choker to a long necklace that holds a beautiful pendant. You can wear a single chain on its own, or layer it with other chains for a chic Bohemian look.
Still not convinced? Pair your gold chain with some unique Egyptian jewelry. We guarantee your friends will be asking where you got it!
2. Diamond Tennis Bracelet
Do you know why we call a tennis bracelet a tennis bracelet?
It goes back to 1987 when professional player Chris Evert lost her slender diamond bracelet during the US Open. What did she do? She stopped the game and looked until she found it!
Granted, your own bracelet story may not be quite as dramatic. But there’s no denying that everyone loves the classic look of symmetrical diamonds.
3. Pearls
Your mother wore them, as did your grandmother and great-grandmother.
In fact, you’d probably be hard-pressed to go back through history and find a sophisticated woman who didn’t wear pearl jewelry.
If you’ve inherited a string of pearls or a pair of pearl earrings, you’re in luck. If you haven’t, pearls should move to the top of your must-have jewelry list.
4. Stackable Rings
Stackable or stacking rings have been around for a while, but their popularity has really soared in recent years.
As the name suggests, stacking rings are meant to be worn together. They’re available in many shapes and styles and often feature diamonds or other precious gems.
Wear a single ring as a bold fashion statement, or layer several for a more dramatic effect. The choice is up to you!
5. Charm Bracelets
If you’re looking for classic bracelets, look no farther than a traditional charm bracelet.
People have been wearing charms for thousands of years to ward off evil spirits and invite good luck into their lives. In our era, brands like Tiffany’s and Pandora have created beautiful charm bracelets for the modern woman.
Charms bracelets are a great way to showcase your interests, hobbies, or travels. It’s a piece of jewelry every woman should own.
6. Hoop Earrings
Earrings trends come and go, but hoops always remain popular.
Hoop earrings can be worn casually with jeans and a T-shirt or paired up with a fancy cocktail dress. There’s really no right or wrong way to wear them.
Choose from gold, silver, or your favorite metal. Hoop earrings come in an array of sizes and styles so you have a pair to complement every outfit.
