Let’s discuss reclaiming the classics of fine jewellery and take a look at some of the most iconic jewellery pieces and how these can cater to more individualistic tastes.
The Tennis Bracelet
Every woman who does not own a diamond tennis bracelet either desires one openly or in secret. The most often seen claw-set variety is so classy and versatile, they invariably end up being worn daily.
But what if you like the look, but prefer your jewellery a bit left of the middle? Luckily, tennis bracelets come in lots of shapes, sizes and colours, even variations as colourful as your teenage daughter’s unicorn hair, like this rainbow sapphire bracelet set in yellow gold.
The Stud Earring
A pair of diamond stud earrings is essential to every jewellery collection. You’d think bigger is better, but a pair you feel comfortable in from the office to the grocery store ends up being your best buy.
But all diamond studs basically look the same, right? Wrong! Old-school diamond cluster earrings are making a huge comeback in new and different ways. This is good news for your pocket as the individual stones are smaller and therefore less costly than a single diamond in each earlobe. So you can get more spread for less, not to mention a unique twist on an essential classic.

The Eternity Ring
A long-time favourite for wedding bands, statement rings and accent rings, the diamond eternity ring has never gone wrong. With current trends celebrating all that is whimsical, the style spectrum is wider than ever.
For delightfully stackable fun, opt for thin bands in rose gold, durable coloured gemstones like sapphires or rubies (Mohs 9), and various setting styles. If choosing softer, exotic gems like tanzanite (Mohs 6.0–7.0), a protective channel setting helps shield the stones, though they require extra care compared to daily diamond or sapphire bands.
Cushion-Shaped Vintage Eternity Rings
Alternatively, go for the classic, traffic-stopping eternity ring set with round brilliant diamonds, or baguettes for a modern edge.
