Jewellery has the power to transform an outfit, making it elegant, sophisticated, edgy or fun. While personal style and preferences play a significant role in selecting jewellery, there are five essential pieces that everyone should have in their collection. These timeless pieces of jewellery ensure you’re prepared for any occasion, from casual outings to formal events.
1. A Classic Watch
A classic watch is both a functional and stylish accessory. It’s a timeless piece that can be worn daily and pairs well with virtually any outfit. And if you are considering cost per wear then a watch offers serious value for money.
When choosing a watch, consider simplicity and quality: Invest in a well-crafted watch from a reputable brand. A good watch can last a lifetime and even become a cherished heirloom and a clean, simple design with a neutral face and a metal or leather band can go a long way in elevating every outfit.
This Herbelin Art Déco Two Tone watch is a Ryan Thomas favourite. The two tone bracelet means you can wear it with gold or silver tones. An elegant choice indeed.
2. Stud Earrings
Stud earrings are a staple in any jewellery collection. They are versatile and can be worn with everything from casual wear to formal attire. What material should you choose? Diamond, pearl or simply gold? We can't answer this question for you but here are our thoughts on each.
Diamond Studs are classic and timeless, they add a touch of elegance and sparkle. Pearl studs exude sophistication and are perfect for a more understated, classy look. Simple gold or silver studs are ideal for everyday wear and add a touch of shine without being overpowering. Here are some of our favourites.
Crafted from 18ct white gold, these stud earrings feature 2.08-carats of sparkling round brilliant cut lab grown diamonds. An all-time classic, these are investment earrings to cherish forever.
These classic earrings feature an organic twist on the classic pearl stud, with an understated high polished gold surround. A timeless addition to your jewellery collection.
Enhance your ear stack with our exquisite 9ct gold flower stud earrings, adorned with a captivating cubic zirconia centre. Perfect on their own or part of a chic ear stack, these meticulously crafted earrings add a touch of sophistication.
3. Statement Necklace
A statement necklace can elevate an outfit, making it look polished and stylish. It’s perfect for those times when you need to dress up a simple outfit or make a bold fashion statement. When selecting a statement necklace choose a piece that reflects your personality, whether it’s chunky and colourful or sleek and modern. Look for a necklace that can be paired with various outfits, from a little black dress to a simple blouse.
This Gold Kite Link Necklace ticks all the boxes. It is versatile, the brushed finish makes it more interesting. This necklace will elevate any look from day to night.
If you prefer silver this Italian classic 9ct yellow gold and silver necklace could be for you. Crafted in Italy from sterling silver and 9ct yellow gold links, the mesh design of this gorgeous necklace lends a modern style, while the two tone metalware ensures great versatility. The simple design makes it perfect for every occasion.
4. A Timeless Bracelet
A timeless bracelet adds a touch of elegance to your wrist. Whether you prefer something simple or more elaborate, a good bracelet can be worn alone or stacked with other pieces. This year the most sought after styles are the bangle and the tennis bracelet.
Explore our 14ct yellow and white gold bangle: A one-of-a-kind luxurious bangle. Crafted from 14ct yellow gold on one side and white gold on the other, this mixed metal bangle is so versatile. Pair with your favourite white or yellow gold jewellery, or stack with other bracelets for a modern take.
Crafted from 18ct white gold, our classic tennis bracelet features 6 carats of round brilliant cut lab grown diamonds. Pair with your favourite diamond jewellery, or layer with other bracelets and bangles to create the most luxurious wrist stack.
5. A Showstopping Ring
It's true to say a versatile ring is a must-have in any jewellery collection. It’s an accessory that can be worn alone for a minimalist look or stacked with other rings for a more eclectic style. At Ryan Thomas we believe that your ring truly is your time to shine. Yes, we could choose a more muted ring but we think every jewellery box is incomplete without a showstopper.
This sapphire and diamond ring is iconic. Often called the Princess Diana ring, this is a ring to stop traffic. Our Sapphire & Diamond Halo ring, featuring a 2.10ct royal blue oval cut sapphire & 0.58-carats of natural diamonds, crafted from 18ct white gold. This sapphire is particular special, it's superb quality, hence its beautiful royal blue colour (saturation) and high clarity.
Another showstopper but in a very different way is our yellow gold opal triplet ring. Green is indeed the dream. Crafted from 9ct yellow gold, this opal triplet changes colour in different lights. The shimmering green tones transcend to an electric blue. A kaleidoscope of colours, making this unique ring stand out from the crowd.
As diamond enthusiasts it would be remiss of us not to advise readers that the one piece of jewellery we believe everyone should own is a dazzling diamond ring. Perhaps this 1.56ct emerald cut lab diamond is the one for you.
Building a jewellery collection doesn’t have to be overwhelming. By focusing on these five essential pieces you’ll have a solid foundation that suits any occasion. Drop into our store for some in person advice on what to choose.
