No wardrobe should be without the classics - the Little Black Dress, a good leather jacket, the simple white shirt and that pair of heels that go with every outfit. These pieces provide the foundation from which you can create your own personal style. And your jewellery box is no different.
As an extension of your wardrobe, your jewellery box essentials should share that same marriage of simplicity and timeless style. These pieces can be worn every day, and complement by providing that touch of extra sparkle and shine.
So, which items should every jewellery box have? To help you build your perfect collection, our team of Adelaide jewellery specialists at Gerard McCabe have carefully selected a list of absolute essentials to serve you endlessly for the years to come.
Luminosity Classic South Sea Pearl Earrings
A jewellery box staple that continues to transcend trends of fashion, Pearl Earrings are a sophisticated, classic foundation piece. While luminous pink and rich darker pearls have become en vogue in recent years, it is very difficult to look past the versatility and lustre of beautiful silky white pearl studs. As one of the world’s premier natural gemstones, they can be mounted with diamonds or striking white or yellow gold to suit your personal style. They add a simple, yet elegant statement to any outfit.
Resting gently upon your collarbone to accentuate the grace of your body’s natural shoulder and neck, a diamond pendant should always be counted on to complement your daily ensemble. A considered, well-crafted diamond necklace can be paired with ease with a low cut or high necked blouse, rest easily between the collar of a shirt or sit beautifully against the lines of a dress.
A timeless watch is a quintessential asset to your everyday wardrobe, and the perfect piece to share your own personal style with the world. A simple, elegant watch face provides the foundation for you to select your preferred colour of leather watchband and metallic plating. Versatility is crucial, but when you have found the perfect timepiece you’ll wonder how you could ever have been without it.
Whether you prefer a chain style or a solid piece, yellow gold remains a staple heirloom addition to your collection. Enjoying the weight and luxury of gold is a pleasure that never fades. The versatility of a well-crafted gold necklace or bracelet makes it the perfect accompaniment to your daily wardrobe and maintains a ‘wow’ factor when showcased on formal occasions.
Seasonal fashion can be a veritable revolving door of cuts that can leave you exasperated. One season you may fit a 10, other seasons a 12, and the same simple staples never seem to sit on your body as you remember. This is not so with classic jewellery. Jewellers have long perfected the lines and shapes which showcase your best features, no matter what the season or style.
A great example is how a good pair of drop earrings always works. Once you find a pair that is your perfect length, the way these earrings will fall against your neckline and seem to always sit flawlessly no matter your hairstyle will make them utterly indispensable.
Your jewellery box essentials should be the pieces that you can always depend upon. Your style will develop over time, but by investing in some ageless classics, you will be rewarded with jewellery that you can turn to season after season, year after year.
