The classics. While trends are always fun and exciting, we find ourselves returning to our tried-and-true pieces. Just as you have your favorite pair of jeans that you wear again and again, you should have jewelry that you can wear everyday as well as for special occasions. So, as you’re doing your holiday shopping, lean into the classic styles that can be worn for a lifetime. Read on for our must-have classic pieces for any jewelry wardrobe.
FOR HER
Diamond Stud Earrings
Diamond stud earrings are always appropriate and can be worn everyday. They will take you to your son or daughter’s soccer game in the afternoon, to a black tie event at night.
Diamond Solitaire Necklace
There is nothing more classic than a diamond solitaire necklace. Never out of style, the classic necklace can be worn with jeans and a tee or to the office. Layer with other necklaces for an elevated look.
Cuff Bracelet
Yes, the cuff bracelet is a classic piece! With styles ranging from jeweled, extra wide or narrow, this Marli cuff bracelet is a versatile staple for your jewelry wardrobe.
Classic Watch
A classic watch should be something you can wear for a lifetime. Tasteful and timeless, you will wear this timepiece everyday, yet it should be elegant enough for evening wear. We suggest the Panthère de Cartier in steel.
Pearl Necklace
When we talk about pearls, we’re not suggesting your grandmother’s single strand pearl necklace. We’re thinking of a more fashionable take on the classic pearl necklace. Something that is classically elegant yet still modern. This Mikimoto 25″ pearl strand necklace featuring 5.5-8.5MM graduated Akoya Cultured Pearls, accented with an 18K white gold shortener with diamonds is a fantastic option that will be your go-to piece for years to come.
FOR HIM
Cuff Links
There is nothing more classic than a man in a french cuff shirt. Cuff links add that extra polish and sophistication. Cuff links can run the gamut from dressy to casual, or they can be whimiscal reflecting a favorite pastime or hobby. For a classic design, we suggest these classic yet modern cuff links by John Hardy.
Wedding Band
A wedding band is something that a man wears every day. Not only a symbol of your love, devotion and commitment, your ring is a reflection of your personal style. Choose something that you love, while also choosing something that will never go out of style. This wedding band by ArtCarved checks all those boxes.
Bracelet
Men have fully embraced wearing jewelry as a reflection of their personal style. Men’s bracelets have risen in popularity over the years and we’re seeing everything from sterling silver to braided leather. To jump in on this trend while still keeping it classic and timeless, we suggest this John Hardy bracelet in sterling silver.
