Top 3 Must-Haves to Start Your Fine Jewelry Collection

Starting a jewelry collection can feel overwhelming. With fine jewelry being a significant investment, how do you know which pieces to begin with?

Here's my approach:

Start with timeless pieces that never go out of style and can transition seamlessly from everyday wear to formal events.

They should be versatile and buildable. Choose foundational pieces that can be styled in multiple ways, making it easy to grow your collection over time.

My Top Three Picks to Begin Your Fine Jewelry Collection:

• A 30″ Solid 14k Gold Link Chain

• "Huggie" Style Hoop Earrings

• A Diamond Stacker Ring

These essentials are the perfect foundation to build a meaningful and stylish fine jewelry collection!

Let's get into it...

Jewelry Investment #1: A 30″ 14k Solid Gold Link Chain

A simple chain may seem unlikely but never underestimate the versatility of a sturdy, high-quality solid link chain.

Why? You can wear it in four completely different ways!

• First, you have the traditional way, wearing it in a long opera-length style

• A second way to wear a 30″ chain is to wrap it twice around your neck, creating a timeless, polished choker.

• A third way is to wrap it four times around your wrist as a delicate multi-strand bracelet.

• Wrapping it three times, you can also wear it as an anklet.

  

Can you believe you can get four distinct looks from ONE piece of jewelry?

Make It Yours: A chain is more than just a timeless staple—it's a buildable investment. Add a medallion-style pendant later to mark a special milestone.

Jewelry Investment #2: "Huggie" Style Hoop Earrings

A huggie earring is a sleek, minimalist hoop that "hugs" your earlobe with its hidden hinge mechanism that locks in place—no earring back needed!

This design ensures a safe, seamless, comfortable fit, making it a perfect choice for everyday wear.

But the beauty of huggies doesn't stop there. They're also wonderfully buildable.

Over time, you can elevate their look by adding drop-dangle charms.

Customize your charm with diamonds for a touch of sparkle or add length—ideal for transitioning from day to night. Classic, versatile, and endlessly stylish, huggies are a must-have in any jewelry collection!

Jewelry Investment #3: A Buildable Stacker Ring

Buildable stacker rings are the ultimate in versatility. Wear them solo for a minimalist vibe, or stack them up over time to create a unique, personalized look.

Start with a sleek 2mm platinum or gold band with a unique hammered texture or hand engraving. Or elevate the look by adding diamonds. Either way, the band is effortlessly stylish and fun to wear!

With endless diamond or gemstone setting options—French, castle, bead, channel, or basket set—you will find a design that reflects your aesthetic.

Stackable rings are versatile and endlessly customizable, letting you mix, match, and layer for any occasion. Start building your stack today and create a look that's uniquely yours!

THAT’S A WRAP
