Modern Classics

As time passes there are some things that just never really seem to go out of fashion. Whether it’s that little black dress you’ve always adored or the perfect pair of heels giving you that walk of confidence. Some things prove time and time again that they really are everlasting but nothing says classic quite like that perfect piece of jewellery.

 

 

Classic treasures have always proved their strength and are often passed down through loved ones as heirlooms because of their sentimental value. With many special designs made to withstand the test of time, gold is often a popular choice as it holds its weight. The best kind of jewellery is the kind that is everlasting and tells a story through time as it passes on through generations. Classic design is often misunderstood as something that follows the rules of a more traditional aesthetic, however, this doesn’t always have to be conventional.

One thing we all know is that trends are forever changing but also that we dare to be different, even when it comes to tradition. Everyone has a personal style, whether it be a signature colour or a unique edge. There are many ways to liven up an understated look. Check out these Modern Classics you will want to wear forever.

When we think of a classic one jewel really does stand out. Pearls are a true natural beauty with their shimmering appearance that stands out amongst the rest. Found at the bottom of the ocean, they really are one of the world's most mesmerising mysteries. The list of remarkable women today and throughout history who are known to adore them is never ending. Coco Channel was known for her signature pearls famously saying ”A woman needs ropes and ropes of pearls“ and we cannot agree more. And, let's not forget Audrey Hepburn's famous statement piece in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. They are as iconic in style as they are unique in their formation.
