Every jewelry box needs some timeless jewelry pieces, either some that you’ve received or purchased for yourself, to flaunt at every occasion. Basics to add a little sparkle to your look, or something bold that they remember you by.
Here's a checklist for your jewelry box to make sure you have all of your bases covered:
1. An everyday bling: Whether it’s a necklace, ring, or something in-between, I think every woman should have something she can wear every day, like a signature piece. Something that is pretty and simple and matches everything. Maybe it's a pair of diamond earrings you inherited from your grandmother (emotional value), or a new diamond flower ring. Make it your signature piece(s)!

2. Diamond Studs: This one doesn’t need an explanation. Studs are the LBD of your jewelry box. Whatever the occasion, they’re always appropriate: Brunch? Date? Job application? Gym? Perfect.
3. Gold chains: That’s right, chains. Pair a few delicate gold chains and you can transform a look from day to night. I prefer getting them in similar shades of gold and different lengths. They add a finishing touch to practically any outfit.
4. Stackable rings: Any combination works! Mix the metals and gemstones, and together the rings look entirely different. Going for a nonchalant day look? Wear just one. Need a little sparkle to an otherwise basic outfit? Wear them all! They’re just perfectly playful and easy to wear.
5. Tennis Bracelet: My favorite piece of jewelry is my white-gold tennis bracelet, another piece I wear daily. Did you know that the name “tennis” comes from tennis player Chris Evert? She lost her lucky charm bracelet during the US Open in 1987 and asked the officials to pause the match so she could look for her “tennis bracelet”. Switch it up with a two-tone bracelet to go with any outfit.
6. Statement earrings have the ability to transform an outfit entirely. I could wear the same outfit day and night, but with just the addition of the earrings, it could look entirely different. Just like with these 18K Yellow Gold Fancy Sapphire and Diamond Dangle Earrings.

7. Statement necklace: Every other season is statement-necklace-season, which is why it’s great to invest in one because you’ll likely be able to use it for a lifetime. They pair well with low-cut tops or to add a little something to an otherwise basic outfit. The length of the necklace is important to consider. Shorter necklaces will add more attention to your chest area, whilst a longer necklace might make you appear taller. You can have the best of both worlds with this Beaded Garnet Necklace that can be worn many different ways.
8. Hoop Earrings: The key is to find a hoop size that suits your neck length and face shape. Gold hoops work well with warm skin tones while silver and white gold work better for cool skin tones. Perfect to wear every day, with almost every outfit that adds just adds an edgy vibe. Hoops look best with hair that is pulled back from the face and a bare neckline. The Color Switch Earrings Collection from LAGOS, truly prepares you for making these an everyday piece. Easily change out the color to match whatver you're wearing!
9. A string of pearls: They add a little Audrey to your life. Perfect for a day when you want to look like you’re effortlessly perfect. And they come in many colors!
10. A watch: that’s not digital! It’s not to tell the time – that’s what you have a phone for – it’s to show others that you’re sophisticated. This Estate Concord 14K Gold Watch with Diamonds is so light and almost like a bracelet in style. The perfect amount of glitz for your wrist.
