An elegant pair of earrings or a bold, statement necklace could be the final piece that ties together a beautiful outfit. Still, in a world where fashion trends are becoming increasingly fleeting and what is considered 'fashionable' seems to be changing by the second, it can be challenging to know what timeless jewellery pieces to invest in.

These pieces will never go out of fashion; they are too versatile and are sure to dazzle with any wardrobe. If you are looking to build and invest in a fine jewellery collection that is equally as breath-taking as it is practical, the following staple pieces are definitely for you.
Stud Earrings
Stud earrings are versatile; you can wear them no matter the occasion, work, dinner date, party, or even a trip to the gym.

They are an elegant staple piece that can pair with any other accessories. There is no doubt that studs are an ultimate classic.

It's versatile; it can be worn for any event and dazzles without making too much of a statement. The round brilliant solitaire diamond is the ultimate classic diamond. This cut has been the number one most requested for years, so it is safe to say it will never overshadow the quick-to-pass trends continuously rolling by.

Diamond Tennis Bracelet
The Diamond Tennis Bracelet, aptly nicknamed after US tennis champion Chris Evert wore hers on the court in 1970, is probably the most versatile piece you can have in your collection.
As this bracelet has made fine jewellery more appropriate within the world of sports, it is perfectly suitable for any other occasion. A diamond line bracelet adds the perfect sparkle and glamorises any outfit just the right amount.
It looks beautiful, whether stacked or worn on its own, so no matter your style, it will dazzle. Diamond bracelets look good on anyone and can easily be adapted day to night. Their loose, flexible structure is wonderfully comfortable, making them the perfect staple for your collection.
Pearl Necklace
Some may say that a pearl necklace is outdated or old-fashioned; however, the opposite is true. Single pearl necklaces have always been extremely popular, especially as bridal jewellery in Ireland.
You don't have to be getting married or even attending a wedding to wear a pearl necklace. They go with anything and elevate any outfit by adding an air of sophistication. A pearl necklace is a simple yet elegant addition to your collection and a classic piece that will never go out of style.
A Gemstone/Birthstone piece
Playing with colours in your jewellery collection is a fun way to include a personality piece that says a little more about you and will stand the test of time.
A good way of ensuring that your gemstone piece retains its meaning and beauty is by selecting a piece that includes your birthstone. The September birthstone is a sapphire; the May birthstone is an emerald, and so on.
Do a little research into your birthstone, and once you have found it, you can have fun selecting a ring that shows your gemstone. Whether a big statement cocktail ring or a simple pendant with a small stone, adding some colour is a great way to include a classic piece that is a little funkier.
Dress Ring
Every capsule jewellery collection requires a dress ring (or two). Unlike an engagement ring or wedding band meant to symbolise an event in your life or love for someone else, a dress ring is said to symbolise your love for yourself and your personality and taste.
A dress ring is another brilliant way of bringing some of your own styles into your jewellery collection. Statement rings are the perfect piece to pack a little extra punch for that special occasion or event.
They look great stacked on each other or worn as individual pieces. They are a great staple to include when filling your jewellery collection.
A bangle bracelet
The bangle is one of the most classic pieces of jewellery you can find. They have been around forever and continue to prove to be one of the most popular pieces asked for in our store.
They can be worn singly, stacked with diamonds, or as a solid metal piece. They are a fabulous way of including a bit of sparkle and dressing up any outfit.
You can wear a Bangle for any occasion with any aesthetic, a truly versatile piece that you can find in any metal colour, be it rose gold, white gold or yellow gold.

A Pendant Necklace
A pendant necklace is super adaptable, can be found in any metal and can be in any design your heart desires. Pendant necklaces are an everlasting fashion statement that will never die out or become outmoded.
Their flexibility in terms of design means they can reflect your style while still being a classic piece that you can wear day or night. Again, they are another piece that can be layered or worn on its own; either way; they will compliment any outfit.

A classic watch
Although it may sound like we have dipped into men's jewellery with this last piece, watches are a classic piece within the jewellery world for both men and women. Several brands have beautiful watches encrusted with diamonds that rival even the most delicate diamond bracelets.
A watch may seem like a more practical investment rather than a piece to include in your fine jewellery collection, but a beautiful luxury watch is an excellent addition. Not only is it a helpful tool, but the craftsmanship that makes these divine watches is worth considering adding to your wardrobe.
A luxury watch will add sophistication to any outfit and is bound to capture a few compliments without ever going out of style.
