8 jewellery staples for everyday wear
Eight Jewellery Staples for Everyday Wear
Choosing your jewellery box staples is a little like choosing your signature perfume. Your everyday jewellery should be instantly recognisable as yours. Bold or subtle, these pieces are the ones you’ll reach for time and time again without even thinking about it.
In our latest guide, we’ll explain what to look for when choosing your signature look and share our recommendations for pieces we believe no jewellery box should be without.
How to choose jewellery for everyday wear
Follow our top tips for choosing your signature jewellery staples.
Choose durability
Start with craftsmanship. You’ll be wearing your jewellery staples hundreds, if not thousands, of times over the years. Daily wear calls for well-made investment pieces. Make sure you choose a reputable jeweller, like Shining Diamonds.
Choose materials carefully
Jewellery made from solid materials such as gold or platinum, and hard-wearing stones like diamonds, makes an ideal choice. Consider what you value most for your budget, look at the 4Cs and decide whether a lab grown or natural diamond is the right choice for you. While lab grown diamonds offer better value for money, natural diamonds make an ideal investment piece to pass down from generation to generation.
Choose comfort
If you’re wearing your signature jewellery pieces every day, comfort is key. Earrings should not be too heavy, so they don’t become uncomfortable or stretch your earlobes over time. Rings should be sized correctly so they’re neither too tight nor too loose, and you should pick a setting that allows you to forget you’re even wearing it.
Consider your lifestyle
When looking at jewellery designs, keep your lifestyle in mind. If you’re active, you might prefer jewellery with a lower-profile setting so it doesn’t catch on clothing or equipment when you’re working out. If you have a job where you use your hands often, choose a durable design and secure setting like a bezel set diamond.
Choose something versatile
Versatility is essential when finding your jewellery staples. You’ll want pieces that won’t look out of place at the office or the opera. Let the jewellery do the talking and add a touch of glamour to any outfit.
Think about aftercare
Aftercare is essential if you want a piece of jewellery you can wear daily for a lifetime. For rings, consider that if your lifestyle changes, you might need to have your ring resized. Regular cleaning and checks of settings and prongs will also help maintain your jewellery’s beauty and security.
