Diamonds are an extremely versatile gemstone that can be paired with any number of outfits for a variety of occasions. But you wouldn’t wear an expensive diamond necklace with a tee shirt and jeans, dangly drop earrings to go to the gym, or a handful of diamond rings to dig in your garden. However, there are a number of pieces that any woman can add to her collection that will provide her with the options needed to dress up any ensemble. Whether you’re attending a black-tie event or hitting the grocery store, these pieces can be worn day or night as a way to present a look that is classy and pulled together (even if you’re wearing yesterday’s jeans).
1. Diamond studs. No matter the occasion, the right pair of diamond studs can be paired with any outfit. As long as they’re not too ostentatious, you can get away with wearing them to work, to a fancy dinner, or even to run errands. And they’ll look just as good with your LBD as they will with a hoodie and jeans.
2. Tennis bracelet. This classic band of diamonds to encircle your wrist is generally understated enough that you can wear if for just about any occasion without having to worry about being perceived as flamboyant or flashy. However, it’s still dressy enough to wear as an accent for your evening gowns.
3. Eternity band. This symbol of unending love is not only fitting for you to wear on your finger, it can actually be paired with absolutely anything. While you might want to take it off for messy tasks (like forming a meatloaf or cleaning the tub), you are well within fashionable parameters to wear it any other time (including trips to the gym).
4. Diamond pendant. The right pendant can go with every ensemble, but the key word is “right”. You don’t want anything too big or gaudy; otherwise it will only be good for special occasions. Instead, opt for a stone that is a bit smaller, but has better color and clarity or a unique cut or setting. This way you can wear it even if you don’t have a particular event in mind.
5. Engagement ring. Regardless of size or style, this is one item that you never have to remove from your person. It is always acceptable to wear your engagement ring, no matter what you are wearing or where you are. And the same goes for your wedding band.
