5 Pieces of Jewelry Every Woman Needs
Like your LBD or perfect pair of heels, every woman needs a few jewelry box essentials to add sparkle and simple elegance to any outfit. Fine jewelry is timeless, versatile, and full of sentimental value. For that reason, it is well worth the investment.
Here are five pieces of jewelry that can instantly transition an outfit from daywear to evening wear—and they will never go out of style.
A Diamond Bracelet
Suitable for the office and glamorous enough for evenings out, you can always rely on the classic diamond bracelet to add the perfect amount of sparkle to your outfit. You can wear just one for a simple, casual look. Alternatively, stack up several for a bold statement look. Whatever the occasion, the diamond bracelet is a hard-working piece that belongs in your jewelry collection.

A Classic Pair of Hoops
No jewelry collection is complete without a classic pair of hoop earrings. Big or small hoop earrings make a statement without overpowering your ensemble. They’re also extremely versatile. Oversized gold hoops look just as chic with beachwear as with an evening jumpsuit, while small, delicate hoops pair well with dresses, jeans, and blazers.
Where urban elegance meets modernity, Chopard’s Ice Cube Hoops embody style and sophistication. The perfect choice for those seeking something gorgeously sleek and glistening.
A Stacked Ring
Stacked rings have become increasingly popular in recent years. From gemstones to diamonds, there is no shortage of choice when choosing styles. Start with a simple gold band and stack from there with rings of your choice. You can wear them individually or all together, depending on the look you’re trying to achieve.
Tiffany & Co.’s Wave Three-Row Diamond Ring features fluid lines and a round, brilliant diamond that shines at the center for a modern, dazzling piece you can wear anytime, anywhere.
A Sleek Watch
Every woman should have a stylish watch sitting in her jewelry box. It’s the ultimate everyday luxury accessory that can make any outfit complete. Choose a classic, contemporary watch from an established brand like Cartier or Rolex. You can wear the right watch for every situation, including a job interview, coffee with friends, or a date night.
With blue accents and sword-shaped hands, Cartier’s Santos De Cartier Watch boasts a sleek, polished finish that’s suitable for all occasions.
A Long Chain Necklace
The chain necklace is one of the biggest jewelry trends of the last few years, and this versatile, easy-to-wear classic is here to stay. Opt for a long chain necklace to add length to the throat and neck while pulling almost any outfit together in a flash. Chains look best worn over a white T-shirt, tank top, or weighty knit.
Make a statement with this Black Onyx Station Necklace by Tiffany & Co. It features an alternating “T” Pattern with black onyx on a 35-inch chain, creating a modern design with a high polish.
