Of all the fashion-related purchases we make, fine jewelry might be some of the most considered choices. Much like shopping for a designer handbag or investing in a watch, a piece of fine jewelry isn’t a decision that comes lightly. In fact, it’s deeply personal. More often than not, we make jewelry investments that signify a major life moment like a wedding, birthday, or graduation. Jewelry is emotional, no other way about it. That being said, it’s also an extension of your wardrobe, in my opinion. Though you might not always think of it as such, the pieces you invest in (or have on your wish list to one day invest in) say just as much about who you are as those designer heels or the luxury handbag you’ve been eyeing.
Since we’re always reporting on what celebs and fashion insiders are carrying and wearing, we thought it was only right that we report on the jewels they’re accessorizing with, too. Just like with the rest of their wardrobes, there are several cult-loved fine jewelry pieces that they’ve unofficially crowned the It pieces to know. Whether that be as timeless as a diamond tennis bracelet, as buzzy as a Hailey Bieber-inspired initial pendant necklace, or as cult-loved as a Spinelli Kilcollin ring, discover the fine jewelry pieces that have reached hero status among insiders.
