Hoop Earrings
An item that belongs to pop culture sported by Cher in the ’60s or Madonna in the ’80s, and now every social media IT girl sports the hoop earring at some point! Mini, medium sized or totally huge! They are a must-have piece, in gold or platinum. Perfect to wear every day!
Tiffany Bracelet
A major piece of
American jewellery history intertwining with that of the famous brand, from “stationery”
store on Broadway to the dream of countless women worldwide. The Tiffany silver
bracelet soon turned into a true token of love, and the best-selling jewellery
piece of all time, in particular around Valentine’s Day Valentino or for a
special anniversary.
Bulgari B.Zero1
Bulgari's B.Zero1 is
a relatively new design, first launched in 1999. Despite its adolescent status,
it's well on its way to becoming a classic, selling more than 1.5 million
styles. The ring is a modern take on the brand's 1970s Tubogas collection that
was inspired by gas pipes.
Pearls
On bracelets, earrings or necklaces. For minimal or maximal pieces, just avoid the granny effect. Chanel, also, loved them in creative pieces, today pearls can add a chic touch to any laid-back ensemble. For more information on the origin of pearls, read one of recent blog posts here
Diamond Stud Earrings
Small, luminous
diamonds. The choice of the cut is key; it can enhance its brilliance. A
go-anywhere basic piece that can solve many a styling problem.
Diamond Tennis
bracelet
Jewellery experts
know well that this flexible Riviera bracelet features a line of brilliant cut
white diamonds. The name “tennis” is related to professional player Chris Evert
who lost her lucky charm bracelet during a US Open in 1987 and asked the game
officials to pause the match to look for her “tennis bracelet”.
Chain Necklace
It may look like a jewellery
“classic” today. But the bold, designer chain necklace revolutionised jewellery
trends back in the ’60s. Just think of Pomellato (the brand celebrated its fifth
anniversary last year that introduced the chain necklace with an industrial,
metallic aesthetics. Avant-garde yesterday, contemporary today.
A Cocktail Ring
Bold and beautiful, the cocktail ring comes in all manner of shapes, sizes and designs, but it is almost always a conversation piece. The perfect va-va-voom to any sleek cocktail dress!
A Gold Bangle
The Love bangle is
one of the most searched for pieces of jewellery on Google, and with good
reason; it is an easy-to-wear classic. Designed by Cartier in the 1970s, the
bangle design is studded with screws which lock it to the wrist and is intended
to signify the permanency of true love. It is a classic!
