The world of fashion is synonymous with change. What looks bold and daring one year might look tired and predictable the next. Keeping on top of the latest trends is a never-ending task for the committed fashionista!

And yet, there are certain items that seem impervious to these changes. Whatever happens in the world of fashion, it’s a fair bet that these will remain firmly in vogue.

Hoop earrings

A hoop earring is a very simple thing. It’s a circular strand of very thin metal, which dangles from the ear like a bauble. They come in various sizes, and they can be made from a variety of metals, including gold and silver. Their enduring popularity is probably a consequence of this simplicity. This is the kind of jewellery that’s subtle enough to complement outfits of every kind.

Diamond ring 

Since the diamond emerged as the gemstone of choice in the mid-20^th century, its popularity has been more or less constant. In 1947, De Beers came up with the slogan ‘a diamond is forever’, which must qualify as one of the most successful pieces of copywriting in the history of the profession.

A diamond ring is an effective and effortlessly classy addition to any ensemble. You can judge a diamond via multiple factors. There’s the colour, carat, clarity and cut. Set out your budget in advance, and then decide which diamond you’re going to buy.

Diamond rings bought new, don’t tend to hold their value as well as some other pieces of jewellery. This is because those who sell diamond rings tend to be highly motivated. If you can’t imagine yourself ever selling, however, then it’s among the best possible investments!

Heirloom watch

If you’re looking for an investment, then a watch might be exactly what’s called for. It will hold its value or even appreciate over time. As such, it might be a more sensible investment than simply putting the cash in a savings account. Pick out the right watch from a reputable company, and you’ll get prestige, glamour, and a functional way to tell what the time is.

If you’re unsure of what watch to look for, then it’s best to look for the big names. Research the market thoroughly; if you’re going to be spending thousands of pounds on a single item, then it’s worth knowing what it is that you’re paying for.

Pearl necklace

The classic pearl necklace epitomises the ‘old money’ aesthetic that’s coming into vogue, thanks to reality shows like Love Island, and social networks like TikTok. It’s an excellent way to project an aura of classiness and femininity. What’s more, it’s versatile enough to be paired with just about everything. The truth is that the pearl necklace never really went away: it’s as deserving of the ‘classic’ label as any of the other items we’ve touched upon.

Chain necklace

The chain necklace is unassuming since it doesn’t have any central focal point. There’s no pendant dangling beneath your collarbone: just a simple line providing a little bit of glitz to your neckline. The advantage here is that chain necklaces are versatile. They can be layered with other necklaces, or stand on their own. They can be slender, or they can be very chunky indeed.
