Curating a quality jewelry collection is somewhat of an art form. With so many stunning pieces on the market at any given time, it can be a bit overwhelming to know where to start. Jewelry tends to be a big investment, so you want to be thoughtful about your purchases. Plus, there's a lot to consider when it comes to building your collection, from price point to metals to style. But curating a collection of pieces you love is well worth the time and money, as the right style has the power to completely transform an outfit—even basic jeans and a tee can look expensive when paired with the right jewelry.
Since trends come and go, I'm a firm believer in investing in timeless pieces you know you'll wear for years—or if done right, decades. You'll never regret buying classic pieces, and when you consider the cost per wear on these, they basically pay for themselves (girl math). Below I'm highlighting 35 timeless jewelry pieces I think have longevity that are worth adding to your collection. Whether you're just starting to build your jewelry wardrobe or are looking to invest in a standout piece, I've included elevated options at every price point.
