Elevated Jewellery - Bringing your wardrobe to life

It’s not about how you wear your clothes but how you accessorise them. Accessories can bring an air of refinement that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. The term ‘Elevated Basic’ has taken centre stage in today's fashion lexicon. This refers to those essentials in your wardrobe that seamlessly transition from day to night. Why stop with your clothing? The right piece of jewellery can, and should, embody this same versatility and sophistication.

In 2024, we explored the concept of The Cornerstones of a Jewellery Box.  A curated selection of essential pieces designed to anchor any jewellery collection. Just as a white shirt or a tailored blazer can define your wardrobe, these jewellery essentials should be the cornerstone of your accessory repertoire.

1. The Solitaire Stud Earring

The classic diamond solitaire stud defines versatility and elegance. As we’ve mentioned in our previous blog, once you get the right size, they can complement any outfit. Whether you opt for a round Brilliant Cut or explore the understated charm of other shapes, stud earrings are the ultimate "elevated basic."

2. Statement Gemstone Pendants 

A well-chosen pendant necklace can be the pièce de résistance of your ensemble. Whether worn solo for an understated look or layered to create impact, gemstone pendants add a touch of individuality to any outfit. Consider bold hues or unique cuts for a piece that truly frames your style.

3. The Cocktail Ring

The cocktail ring is a conversation starter, a bold statement piece that adds personality to your look. Whether adorned with vibrant gemstones or unique designs, this cornerstone offers the perfect opportunity to showcase your taste and style in an unapologetically glamorous way.

4. The Bracelet That Goes Anywhere

A classic tennis bracelet or a gold bangle that can stack with others is a versatile accessory that brings subtle sophistication to your wrist, day or night.

5. A Touch of Colour

While diamonds are timeless, incorporating a splash of colour through gemstones can bring vibrancy to your collection. When selecting coloured pieces, think about tones that complement your complexion and wardrobe palette—this thoughtful choice can make your accessories even more impactful. We have a multitude of gems in our gallery to inspire. 

Building your collection around these cornerstone pieces is not about following trends; it’s about curating a collection that reflects your lifestyle and personality. So, as you consider your own jewellery box, ask yourself: Do I have these cornerstones? Are these pieces helping me accessorise with purpose and style?

Should you find that you are missing an essential piece, or if you’d like guidance in creating a bespoke design that aligns with your style, we are here to assist you.
