When you invest in fine jewelry, you can splurge on fewer pieces. You don’t have to worry about whether they’ll tarnish or if the quality won’t stand up to daily wear. You’re buying jewelry for the long haul. Solid gold and gemstones are meant to be the anchors of a jewelry wardrobe. They can hold their own with a t-shirt and jeans or a cocktail dress. Fine jewelry never looks out of place.

And, for most people, three pieces is the perfect starting point for a jewelry uniform that you can wear for every occasion. What those three pieces are exactly depends on your personal style.

Three Pieces for a Classic Jewelry Uniform

If your jewelry style is classic, you can never go wrong with diamonds and yellow gold. They add sparkle and warmth to every outfit, never looking too formal or too casual. Diamonds are always the right choice. 

Start with a pair of sleek Plunge Hoops in a perfect mid-size, punctuated with diamonds. Layer on a Diamond Drip Pendant, which adds a bit of sculptural interest to a timeless solitaire pendant style, then slip on a Diamond Droplet Eternity Band for a starting point for a stack or a ring that can stand on its own.

The hoops, necklace, and ring elevate a simple outfit of a striped t-shirt and shorts, but, anytime a date night occasion calls for a more dolled up look, these diamonds feel equally at home.

Three Pieces for a Minimalist Jewelry Uniform

There’s so much beauty in a simple gold silhouette. It doesn’t need to be big to make an impact, and that’s something the minimalists among us truly understand. For their jewelry uniform, they need pieces that are sleek, airy, and offer just a hint of glimmer when the light hits them just right.

The petite Rise Studs are the type of earring you never take off. They feel barely there, but the engraving adds a designed element. The Micro Aurora Diamond Stacking Ring is an elegant gold band with just a tiny shimmer. And the Icarus Necklace is a swoop of gold where the graceful line of the piece takes center stage.

You could wear all three of these pieces with a floaty dress in the summer, a sweater and jeans in the fall, or a glam dress during the holiday season. The minimalist’s wardrobe is subtle, but adds a lovely touch of detail to every look.

Three Pieces for a Maximalist Jewelry Uniform

For a maximalist, everything goes. They don’t worry about whether the pieces in their jewelry uniform mix and match. They choose what they love, and the cohesion will follow. Their favorite pieces are those that make an impact, and they want to layer more-upon-more. 

The allure of the mesmerizing flashes of light in the Australian Opal Iris Necklace are a must-have for the maximalist, and they’ll pair it with the big, bold Wake Earrings. The Gold Cairns ring adds a little bit of sparkle.

Nothing the maximalist wears is boring, so whether it’s a patterned blouse and jeans or a vibrant ballgown, these pieces work perfectly.

Three Pieces for a Colorful Jewelry Uniform

If you love color, then there’s no reason not to incorporate color into every piece of fine jewelry you wear. Many of our pieces are designed with Montana sapphires, which are found in a range of blues and greens. The watery monochromatic palette of these stones means that they all complement each other in the prettiest way, and, with the hand-engraved details of the Aurora collection, these create a gorgeous dress-it-up or down jewelry uniform.

The Cushion Aurora Pendant Necklace has a unique cut and color that stands out on your neckline, while the Montana Sapphire Aurora Dangle Earrings are delicate enough for everyday. We won’t tell you to stop one one stacking ring, but, if you’re choosing just one for now, make it the Montana Sapphire Large Aurora Stacking Ring.

This trio is a nod to a colorful collection, but with a subtle hue that goes with everything. Wear them with a sundress or a pair of shorts, a linen set or structured shift.
