How To Style One Jewelry Piece in 10 Ways

Here is an untold truth of the jewelry business: you don’t need more jewelry. You need to learn about what you can achieve with the jewelry you have.

Most people tend to wear just a small proportion of their jewelry most of the time, not because those pieces are terrible but because they haven’t learned about how versatile they can be.

This is where this guide will come in handy.

The key to having a full and abundant jewelry wardrobe without having to add new pieces constantly lies in mastering versatility: the knowledge of how you can use one great lab-grown diamond piece and achieve entirely different looks depending on your neckline, your outfit, the occasion you will attend, the layering, and the overall intention.

One piece. Ten looks. No need for any further purchase.

In this guide, we will illustrate the idea with some of the most versatile fine jewelry staples: a diamond pendant necklace, diamond stud earrings, and a diamond ring.

For each one of them, there will be ten ways to wear it in the style that can range from understated every day to more sophisticated and occasion-worthy options.

Once you will be done reading the guide, you may start seeing your jewelry box in an entirely new light.

If, on the other hand, you don’t have these pieces of jewelry yet, then you will know why they are worth getting.

Why Versatility Should Be Your First Jewelry Criterion

There's one concept that we need to establish before getting to the styling tips proper:

The most precious pieces of jewelry aren't always the most costly. The most precious jewelry is the jewelry that you actually wear.

That is, if the $10,000 natural diamond ring is worn four times per year, it may be less valuable to your overall style repertoire than a $1,200 lab-grown diamond pendant, which is worn 350 days a year.

Not because the second piece of jewelry is better per se, but simply because the value of jewelry lies in how frequently, comfortably and confidently you wear it.

Which is why one of the main criteria in buying jewelry should be versatility especially when building your collection deliberately.

Jewelry piece that can match just one outfit, one special occasion, or one level of formality will mostly stay hidden in the jewelry box.

As laboratory grown diamond jewelry allows more versatile jewelry pieces, due to being considerably cheaper compared to natural diamonds, depending on their particular characteristics.

The ability to purchase such jewelry pieces is what makes it easier to buy jewelry pieces that you feel comfortable to wear daily rather than save for special occasions only.

When an exquisite pair of earrings made of lab-grown diamonds becomes something you can wear for Tuesday morning coffee, working days, casual dinner and even Saturday party, this piece starts doing what jewelry pieces should ideally do:

Become a part of your life.

And here's how to get ten different looks out of each piece you already have.
