Pearl necklace – Pearl necklaces have always been a chic and timeless jewelry item. They can be worn to the office or to a romantic meal and will make your outfit feel instantly more refined. When buying pearls for yourself, you will be overwhelmed with choice. You could go for a classic string of pearls or just a single pearl on a chain. Either will work well and can be pair with anything from a white shirt to a little black dress. Choose a piece you are likely to wear again and again. But also consider the length and color carefully. Again, be sure to buy pearls from a reputable supplier.

Bangle Bracelets – Whether you prefer slim and slender or big and bulky, bangles should be an essential feature in your wardrobe. You can stack them or wear them on their own and they will always make a statement. You can’t go wrong with silver or gold bangles, but there are also other materials to choose from such as perspex and unique woven. Why not experiment by combining different widths, colors and materials together?  This is likely to bring out your individuality more. Go with what you love when it comes to bangles, but make sure they can be worn with anything rather than just one outfit.

Cocktail ring – Otherwise known as a large gemstone ring, this piece will add a flash of color to your collection. As with all jewelry, there are thousands of options to choose from. Always go for the gemstone that draws your attention instantly. It may be one larger stone or a cluster of smaller gems. Also, look for unusual settings and designs for a more modern feel to this classic piece.
