Back to Basics: Picking Perfect Traditional Jewelry
Some things never go out of style: Anna Wintour’s bob haircut, Coco Chanel’s little black dress, Tom Cruise’s wayfarers. Classic fashions are both timeless and elegant, and can be as effortless as they are glamorous when worn correctly – so when choosing traditional jewelry, your basic baubles should be sophisticated enough to dress up the most luxurious evening wear, but simple enough to add just the right amount of polish to jeans and a t-shirt.
The key to classic jewelry style is to walk the fine line between flashy and practical. Traditional jewelry is meant to compliment, not compete, with your wardrobe; it also needs to be sturdy enough for regular wear, but pretty enough to look special. When it comes to jewelry, there are four traditional pieces that no woman should be without: a tennis bracelet, a pair of diamond studs, a single strand pearl necklace and a simple gold watch. All of these items can be found at incredibly affordable prices at ShopDI.com, in a variety of sizes, colors and shapes to suit any taste and budget!
This 16-inch Freshwater Cultured Pearl Strand Necklace adds a Jackie-O-esque touch of class to any outfit, and at only $99, it’s almost a crime not to snap it right up. Bring some bling to your pretty face with these sparkly 14k Yellow Gold Diamond Stud Earrings, only $350 for .33 ctw! No woman should ever leave the house without a 14k Yellow Gold Diamond S-Link Tennis Bracelet draped around her wrist, boasting a full carat in total diamond weight for under $500.

very well said! jewelries are indeed meant to complement the outfit (and the wearer’s lifestyle as well, if i may add) and not to clash with any part of your ensemble. even the most elegant and extremely expensive jewelry can destroy your “look” if worn with the wrong outfit or matched with a “conflicting” accessory. so it’s really safe to stay with the traditional jewelries that never go out of style and can be worn both daytime and nights.
