Your ultimate guide to building a fine jewelry collection

What is fine jewelry?

First things first, fine jewelry is different from the fashion or costume jewelry you might be used to. It's crafted with real precious metals and gemstones, so they last way longer and have this special sparkle that just can't be replicated. Plus, they can actually become heirlooms, something you can pass down through the generations - pretty cool, right?

Buying fine jewelry is indeed an investment. But since the piece will be crafted using precious metals and gemstones, the value of the piece will appreciate with time.

Why do you need a fine jewelry collection?

Fine jewelry is not just about having fancy things to wear (although, let's be honest, that's part of the fun!). Each piece you collect can become a special part of your story. Maybe you get a pair of diamond studs for your birthday, a gold bangle to celebrate a promotion, or a statement necklace for a night out with the girls. These little trinkets become a reminder of all your special moments. And due to the way it is crafted it is durable and its luster lasts for a long time.

Creating your personal fine jewelry collection

Start Small

If you’re starting your fine jewelry collection and don’t know what your first piece should be, we suggest you go for something small. Think of it like getting to know a new friend – you wouldn't dive headfirst into their deepest secrets, right? A pair of single diamond studs, a light weight pendant necklace are great places to get started. Wearing these pieces over time will help you understand your style and the difference between fine jewelry and fashion jewelry.

The Basics

Once you feel good about the first purchase, we recommend building up your foundation with some classic pieces that can be paired up or down for different occasions. So, maybe a pair of classic diamond studs or some simple gold hoops are a perfect way to begin. They're versatile and go with pretty much anything. Consider these core elements:

1. Multi Diamond Studs: A timeless classic, diamond studs offer endless versatility. Choose a size that complements your face shape and personal preference. These can be worn alone for a touch of effortless elegance or paired with other earrings for a more layered look.

2. Earrings: Hoops come in a variety of sizes and styles, from delicate huggies to bold statement pieces. Choose a pair that flatters your face shape and complements your everyday style.

3. A Simple Necklace: A delicate chain or a minimalist tennis necklace adds sophistication to any outfit. This piece can be layered with other necklaces or worn alone for a touch of understated elegance.

4. A Bangle or Bracelet: A classic bangle or a more intricate chain bracelet adds polish to your wrist stack. Choose a style that complements your existing jewelry and suits your taste.

Expanding Your Collection: Beyond the Basics

Once you have established a solid foundation, you can explore more unique pieces to express your evolving style. Pick a piece that lets you steal the spotlight wherever you go.

Feel free to go all in and pick something vibrant with sparkling gemstones or uncut diamonds. If you’re a minimalist and prefer subtle and simple pieces of jewelry, going with pearls can be an excellent choice. Your ‘special’ pieces will stay with you while you create all your special memories. From a birthday to a wedding day, these pieces will embellish all your outfits and will help you look picture-perfect for all memorable days.

Must have pieces in your collection

Subtle earrings

Remember we asked you to start small if you’re picking your first piece? Earrings are just the piece you can go with. Going with a pair of small stud earrings is a great choice. If you’re going for something minimal, you can always go with pearls or polki, or both.

Radiant Rings

Rings are another piece of fine jewelry that serves as a great starting point. They’re easy to carry and can be paired with all sorts of outfits. A simple ring with your favorite gemstone can be enough to amp up your look.

Chic Chokers

Your fine jewelry collection cannot have enough chokers. Not only do they make great statement pieces when worn alone but they also pair well with necklaces while creating layers. A snug-fit choker encrusted with polki and pearls is a must-have for every fine jewelry collection.
