It might be fun to follow jewelry trends and keep score on the latest launches from the major jewelry houses, but there’s just something timeless about classic jewelry that always draws us back. If you’re looking to treat yourself or find the perfect gift for a loved one, now is the perfect time to get to know some of these classic jewelry staples that have also become some of the most sought-after pieces of all time.
BVLGARI Serpenti
The Serpenti collection is the BVLGARI brand’s most iconic line. Designed to wrap gracefully around the wearer’s body, the BVLGARI Serpenti collection mimics the fluid, elegant movements of a serpent. The Serpenti story began in 1948 with the launch of BVLGARI’s bracelet-watch in gold featuring a snake-like body that coiled around the wrist. Over the years, the Serpenti collection has grown into a wide range of jewelry and watches, with all the pieces maintaining the signature snake motif.
The most popular watches from the collection include the BVLGARI Serpenti Tubogas that features a sleek, coiled silhouette that wraps gracefully around the wrist and the BVLGARI Serpenti Seduttori collection that features a hexagonal-patterned bracelet resembling the scales of a snake. Lastly, the BVLGARI Serpenti Spiga collection features a wheat stalk pattern carved into the bracelet itself.
Mikimoto Pearl Earrings
In 1893, Kokichi Mikimoto made history by becoming the first person to successfully culture a pearl. This groundbreaking achievement set the stage for Mikimoto to become a prestigious name in the world of pearl jewelry.
One of the most sought-after pieces from Mikimoto is the Every Day Essentials Earrings. This classic pair is made with Akoya pearls, and its classic design makes them an excellent investment piece that you can wear whether you’re going to a job interview or to a quick brunch with the girls.
Spinelli Kilcollin Galaxy Ring
The Spinelli Kilcollin galaxy rings for women that are taking over TikTok have made the art of ring stacking easy, effortless, and non-traditional. What sets these rings for women apart are their special connectors, allowing you to either stack them on one finger or spread them out over multiple fingers. The galaxy rings are made from precious metals, with some designs featuring pavé diamonds for added sparkle. The interlocking bands create a cohesive look whether worn together or separately, making it easy to switch up your style depending on your mood or outfit.
If you’re looking for a standout piece, the Mercury MX has a tri-tone design that combines different shades of gold for a striking effect. For something truly luxurious, the Polaris Diamond Ring features a combination of 18k white gold and pavé diamonds, offering a dazzling display of elegance.
Chanel J12 Watch
Launched in 1999, the Chanel J12 watch was designed to be not only a beautiful watch to behold, but also a practical, durable, and lightweight sports watch. The J12 is available in two colors: luminous white and intense black. While Chanel isn’t the first brand to use ceramic in watchmaking, it was the one that popularized this material. Ceramic is known for being lightweight, scratch-resistant, and incredibly durable, making it an ideal choice for both everyday wear and special occasions.
The latest J12 models feature in-house movements that were developed by Swiss movement manufacturer Kenissi exclusively for Chanel. The Caliber 12.1 movement offers a 70-hour power reserve and is COSC-certified, ensuring improved accuracy and reliability.
