Ten Pieces of Jewellery Worth Owning First

By Farah Sheikh6 October 2026
Ten Pieces of Jewellery Worth Owning First

Studs, hoops, one good chain, and the ethnic pieces that cover every function you will be invited to.

A jewellery box that covers everything is smaller than most people expect.

Everyday

  • Gold-tone studs
  • Mid-size hoops
  • A fine chain with a small pendant
  • A watch
  • One stacking ring set

Occasion

  • Oxidised silver jhumkas
  • A kundan choker set
  • Pearl drops
  • A maang tikka
  • Bangles in two finishes

Buy the everyday pieces in metal that will not turn, and the occasion pieces in whatever is beautiful — they are worn ten times a year, not daily.
