When it comes to building your jewelry collection, there are certain pieces that will make sense to invest more into than others. Statement earrings that you’ll only wear on a rare occasion, for example— you might opt to save money with gold filled posts and diamond alternatives. Pieces that you’ll find yourself reaching for time and time again, on the other hand, are much more likely to be worth an investment so they stay looking brand new even after years of wear. Think, timeless essentials that can complete a wide variety of outfits and never go out of style.

Whether you're just starting out or looking to add to your existing collection, here are six fine jewelry staples that will continue to service chic, polished perfection for decades to come.

Diamond Stud Earrings

Diamond studs are the ultimate classic. Their simple yet sophisticated design allows them to transition seamlessly from a casual day at the office to a dinner date out. The beauty of diamond studs lies in their ability to add just the right amount of sparkle without taking away from the rest of your look. When set in solid gold, they are durable enough to be worn daily, making them a great long term investment piece.

Diamond NecklaceS

Whether you prefer a dainty solitaire or full tennis style, a diamond necklace is another timeless staple. They’re versatile enough to be worn alone for a chic, minimalistic look or layered with other necklaces for added interest. While a tennis necklace certainly makes a statement, the simplicity of a solitaire diamond necklace ensures that it remains stylish through changing trends, and the brilliance of both styles make them special enough for any occasion.
