When it comes to jewellery, there are, in my opinion, two distinct categories. The first is bold, statement-making pieces (be sure to check our our round-up of the biggest jewellery trends for 2025), such as the giant crystal earrings that you dust off for party season, or the stack of playful beaded anklets you wear all summer long. And the second? The everyday staples that you barely, if ever, take off.
The latter often becomes part of your personality, almost like a second skin. Think of the curated earring stack that adorns your ear day-in, day-out, or a welded bracelet that feels like it’s almost part of you. These pieces that we live in are practical in our busy lives, adding an element of effortless elegance to any outfit, with very little thought involved—but they also become arguably more sentimental than anything else we wear. Furthermore, everyday jewellery is the epitome of the age-old consideration of ‘cost-per-wear’ value, making it well worth an investment in quality.
Building a collection of timeless, versatile jewellery allows you to accessorise without overthinking. Whether you’re rushing to a meeting, running errands, or heading out for a casual dinner, the right jewellery can subtly transform your look, adding polish and personality.
Investing in quality pieces crafted from durable materials like solid gold and diamonds not only ensures longevity, but also provides the satisfaction of owning something truly special; a future heirloom to pass down to loved ones.
So, where should you start when looking for everyday jewellery to invest in? My advice would be to choose relatively simple yet luxurious pieces that you feel will work with most of what you wear, and that you won’t tire of. But equally, let yourself be drawn to interesting design and curations, so the jewellery you wear every day will be a true reflection of your personality.
From iconic bracelets to contemporary rings, we’ve curated an edit of the best everyday investment jewellery—pieces designed to complement your life, elevate your wardrobe, and remain cherished forever.

The iconic Tiffany Bone Cuff is the definition of wearable art, shaped to highlight the natural contours of the wrist rather than conceal them. Its designer, Elsa Peretti, originally drew creative inspiration from the Capuchin crypt in Rome, a space famously adorned with human bones. The Bone Cuff has since come to symbolise strength and feminine power, and is a timeless and versatile piece you will wear over and over.
Jessica McCormack has a cult following for a reason. Her designs marry vintage inspiration with contemporary elegance, and although easy to wear every day, they're by no means understated. Her Gypset Mini Hoops—part of the aptly named 'Day Diamonds' collection—are a versatile yet instantly recognisable choice for daily wear, with major eye-catching sparkle. You need only visit the boutique housed in a stunning Mayfair townhouse to understand that McCormack's creations are as much about artistry as they are about luxury.
No conversation about investment jewellery can be complete without the mention of Cartier. Renowned for exceptional craftsmanship, the brand's iconic Love Bracelet has become a symbol of modern love, individuality and status—as well as simply being an excellent addition to any wrist stack. You can rest assured that this bangle will remain a forever classic piece, and therefore makes a wise investment. This version, featuring four brilliant-cut diamonds, feels like a slight twist on the familiar design, that's extra luxurious.
No signet ring in the family? No problem. In fact, all the better for you, because it means free rein to choose your dream design. I'd recommend looking to Lucy Delius, a London-based jeweller who creates antique-inspired pieces that complement heirlooms while standing out on their own. Her chunky gold, diamond-covered signet ring would make for the ultimate everyday statement piece.
Everyday gold hoop earrings don't come much chicer than this chunky style from Chanel's Coco Crush line. Crafted from 18-karat yellow gold and forgoing logos for a subtle quilted design, they're the epitome of quiet luxury—and an insider favourite. We'd never take them out.
Dior's Rose des Vents collection has become something of a modern jewellery classic. A celebration of one of Mr Christian Dior's most cherished emblems, the lucky star, it's instantly recognisable by its eight-pointed wind rose design, embellished with colourful ornamental stones and sparkling diamonds. We love this yellow gold, malachite and diamond iteration—perfect for adding a pop of colour to your neck stack, but still subtle enough to wear every day.
The Serpenti Collection from Bvlgari is a celebration of the brand’s heritage and bold Italian glamour. The Viper Ring, with its sleek, coiled design, is instantly recognisable as being from Bvlgari, yet it's still delicate and subtle enough to incorporate into your everyday jewellery repertoire.
Van Cleef & Arpels' Alhambra motif is inspired by a clover leaf, and synonymous with timeless luxury. This bracelet, featuring the recognisable design re-imagined in yellow gold, makes a change from the classic mother-of-pearl version, whilst still being an iconic piece to add to your collection.
The first brand to be certified as a true zero-emission diamond producer, VRAI is a veritable game-changer in the fine jewellery industry.

If you're looking to upgrade your permanent earring stack, you can't go wrong with these diamond huggie hoops.
Pomellato’s Nudo rings bring a refreshing, colourful twist to the often monochromatic world of everyday fine jewellery. Launched in 2001, these rings feature chunky colourful gemstones encased in rose gold, and their aesthetic still feels as contemporary as ever—perhaps due to the way the ring is set ‘nudo’ or ‘naked’, floating on the band. The smoky quartz version is a Marie Claire favourite: its warm tone is still easy to team with neutrals, while adding a subtle dose of colour to whatever you are wearing.
Roxanne First is known for putting the fun in fine jewellery, with her quirky, joy-sparking designs crafted from precious metals and stones. Take this reinterpretation of the classic tennis bracelet, that's made up of rainbow-coloured sapphires and guaranteed to add personality to your look.
Hip Danish designer Sophie Bille Brahe captures femininity in her minimalist yet bold designs. The Ensemble Ring, with its clean lines and understated sophistication, is a perfect example of her delicate yet impactful approach to fine jewellery and a unique way to buy into personalised jewellery. Choose a ring with your own initials or those of a loved one—or, go all-out and spell out a full name across your fingers.
French brand Messika, founded by Valérie Messika, combines understated sophistication with innovative diamond designs. The brand's iconic Move Collection’s signature feature of freely moving diamonds offers a fresh, modern take on fine jewellery and that understated, French approach to luxury. The Baby Move Bracelet is top of our list: a more delicate version of the original that's perfect for everyday wear and mixing with other pieces.
NYC-based Marla Aaron is hands down one of the coolest jewellers around, and her recently opened colourful concession at Liberty London brings her must-have designs to the UK for the first time. Her signature? Carabiner locks elevated to fine-jewellery status, that can be endlessly played with and combined to suit your style. This heart-shaped lock embellished with diamonds is a great starting-point, and can be added to any of her chunky chains or even colourful, elasticated bands called "Thingys".
London-based designer Jessie Thomas trained under her father, master goldsmith David Thomas and continues to make every piece by hand at her Chelsea workshop. Her jewellery combines artisanal craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics and, as an example, this Gold Tube Bracelet, feels just as modern as it does timeless.
The Antwerp-based, B-Corp-certified fine jewellery brand Kimai was founded by two women keen to redefine luxury diamond jewellery. Their lab-grown diamonds merge sustainability with modern design, and their delicate diamond earrings are undoubtedly the stand-out. Many are designed to be stacked, including this chic Riva Earring, that will look great layered with other dainty styles and acts as a subtle twist on a classic diamond drop design, reimagined in miniature form.
Louis Vuitton might be best-known for its leather accessories, but its fine jewellery line is well worth a look-in, too. The 'Damier' collection is all about contemporary graphic design, taking inspiration from one of the House's most historic motifs that dates all the way back to 1888. Crafted from finest white gold and studded with diamonds, this genderless ring would make a great alternative to a classic wedding band.
