Diamonds truly are “a girl’s best friend” when she needs to throw on something that will elevate her outfit in the morning without having to think about it too much. The term “every day diamonds” has become almost cliché when talking about those sparkling gems that can be worn for any occasion, at any time and with any other piece in a jewelry rotation. They speak softly without having to shout, yet they allow the wearer to shine. We have chosen pieces that are versatile and easy to wear and that display a range of looks that can be worn alone, stacked or layered, depending on individual tastes. Some are higher-ticket as they are enduring and can also be handed down, while others are accessibly priced for a quick self-purchase.
