Having been in the jewellery biz for over a decade now, we get asked this question a lot: What are the jewellery pieces every woman should invest in? So, we finally decided to address it once and for all!

But let’s not forget that these are high-quality jewels crafted with precious gemstones and metals. So, even though it may seem pricey at first, these pieces are worth the splurge because they’ll be there to serve you well for a lifetime!

2. Hoop Earrings
When we speak of everyday to slightly fancy jewellery, we mean hoops!
Effortlessly chic and versatile, hoop earrings are a stylish staple that delivers a subtle attitude. Want to add some pizzazz to your wrap dress for cocktail night? Turn to hoops. Want to add some oomph to your button-down office shirt and black pants duo? Throw your hoops on. You get the drift? Hoops are iconic!
From huggies and J-hoops to double hoops, we’ve got them in many styles and varieties. Sparkle lovers can opt for diamond hoops. But if you wish to put a vibrant spin on your looks, our gemstone hoops have you covered.

3. Pearl jewellery
Jackie Kennedy said it best when she said, “Pearls are always appropriate.”
When you think of ‘forever’ jewellery, it’s hard not to picture a few pearly baubles, right? That’s the impact pearls have; they’re timeless, classy and glamorous.
Pearl bracelets, pearl necklaces, pearl drops, pearl rings for women – we love ’em in every form!
You can pick a single-strand pearl necklace or a bracelet if you prefer classic and elegant accessories. However, if you’re starting to build your pearl collection and are not ready for a string of pearls around your neck, we say pick the essentials like pearl drop earrings and pearl rings for women. We’ve also got dainty pearl necklaces and tin-cup bracelets for those who want to modernize how they wear their pearls. So, which one of these is it going to be?

4. Tennis Bracelet
Aah, tennis bracelets!
These are bracelets with not one, not two, but rows of diamonds (or gemstones)—what’s not to love? Besides being a thing of beauty, these elegant bracelets work extra hard to ensure you look gorge in a cocktail dress or even a tailored trouser-blouse outfit. Plus, you can style them in endless ways. Wear just one bracelet for a minimal look or stack up several for a wrist that screams ‘chic’. It’s up to you!
