There are some things a woman just needs to own. You should have a favorite pair of blue jeans. Of course, your closet isn’t complete without a little black dress. We’re all aware of these wardrobe essentials, but what about jewelry staples? Are there pieces of jewelry that should be considered standard in order for a collection to be complete? Yes! Here are 10 is our list of classic jewelry staples that every woman should own:

Diamond Stud Earrings

Diamond studs, like the 1.20 Ct Diamonds Direct Martini Stud Earrings In 14k White Gold, are truly a must-have accessory. These earrings can be worn day and night, from work to picking up the kids and then to a special occasion. They allow you to go from day to night effortlessly and still look polished. You never need to take these off!

Pearl Necklace

Women have been wearing pearl necklaces for hundreds of years, and they will continue to do so for hundreds more. A classic pearl necklace is never out of style! This Mikimoto 18k Yellow Gold Cultured Akoya Golden Pearl 34″ Opera Necklace is one of our favorites.

Hoop Earrings

Hoop earrings frame your face while making a stylish statement. Whichever size and material you choose is up to you, which is part of what makes hoops so much fun. These Hammered 18k Yellow Gold & Red Enamel Hallow Tube Hoop Earrings give off a totally different vibe than something like these Inside Out Diamond Hoop Earring In 14K White Gold, yet they can both be worn with nearly any outfit.

Cocktail Ring

A cocktail ring is not just for cocktail parties! They add a simple bit of glamour to any outfit, for any occasion. You can opt for a piece that matches nearly anything, like this Opal Diamond Gold Cocktail Ring, or an eye-catching cocktail ring you’ll be able to assemble several different outfits around. Something like the Cellino Mid-Century Lapis Cocktail Ring 18k Yellow Gold Diamond will look fabulous with your little black dress, as well as anything that is red, gold, blue,  beige, or even white. Of course, you can never go wrong with diamonds. This Rachel Koen 14K White Gold Diamond Cocktail Ring is sure to be your go-to piece!

Classic Watch

A watch is the ultimate everyday accessory and wearing a luxury watch tells the world that you’ve made it. Fine watches, like the Rolex Datejust Midsize 31mm 1.52ct Bezel/Pink Flower Diamond Roman VI Dial Watch and Piaget 9228 23mm Womens Watch, are certainly not only for men. Every wardrobe should include a watch designed by an established brand whose name carries both style and luxury.

Once you’ve completed adding all of these staples to your fine jewelry collection, you can then get to work adding in unique pieces that are worn on special occasions. There’s nothing quite as fun as buying a new piece of jewelry!
