Do you consider infinity necklace as "classic" jewelry?

I consider the infinity necklace as a classic piece of jewelry. The symbol infinity started with the Greeks and remember math classes where the concept of infinity is introduced?

However, I can't guarantee that you'll love it in your 20s, 30, 40s, 50s,...etc. Some pieces of jewelry are more limited in terms of what age you wear it and considers it "appropriate". Infinity I think can last forever. Seriously.

However, say with a Tiffany heart necklace, I'd stop wearing it once I reach my 40s. I'd think about giving it to my daughter or my niece. But I haven't decided because I'm still in my 30s.

The piece I consider REAL timeless and something I'll wear for as long as I live is the Tiffany diamond cross necklace (just like the one Elizabeth Hurley wears) because I'm a devout Catholic and God is with me forever.

I checked the Tiffany website. The diamond cross comes in 3 sizes. Do you have the Tiffany diamond cross in mini, small or medium?

I think the Tiffany diamond cross necklace comes in small, medium and large. In recent years, there's an extra large. Not all stores carry them. You have to go into the store and try them on yourself. I have the medium, I wish I have the large, but 10 years ago, I didn't have the money.

I did not go with the infinity necklace and decided to get a diamond cross pendant with matching chain. Here are the pictures :)

How large is the Diamond in your dbty? If small, you can consider getting a larger Diamond in prong setting. Prong set will look different than bezel, and the larger size Diamond will help differentiate what you already have. I have one carat size, and can use a second one, 2 carat or larger.

Thanks for your trust.
Yes, the chain goes very well with the pendant. The combo is very pleasant looking and can be worn casually everyday, in jeans or smart casual dress.

If you do not mind, I would like to offer some advice. It seems to me that you have got enough of very nice jewelry that is good to wear for all occasions and for a long while. From now on, hold off purchases, and save your money for more important pieces on your forever wish list.

As you age, you will find your taste become more refined and sophisticated. At that time, you will be attracted to more classic, luxurious jewelry which costs a lot. By then, you will wish that you had saved your money for these "must-haves". Once you acquire a few of these must-haves, you will find yourself constantly wearing them such that almost all your prior jewelry purchases will end up sitting in your jewelry box collecting dust. By then, you will feel the old jewelry pieces wasteful, because you cannot resell them easily for decent amount of money. If you calculate the total amount of money spent on the old purchases, you will say to yourself, "wow, I could have got that rock and "x, y, z" on my wish list."

What I said above is my own experience. Fortunately, I did not start splurging on jewelry or designer accessories early like most people. Still, I have several items that I know are wasted. They are difficult to sell (will be difficult to get back 25% of what I paid), but are too much money to give way.

I hope you do not find yourself in this situation which is common to most people.

Hi, Christiflora! I am happy to know that the cross pendant and chain match together :) It took time for me to choose.

I will take note of your advice :) Thank your honesty in sharing this to me. I will enjoy first the pieces that I acquire this year. All of them are beautiful! There is something about gold and diamonds that really attract me but you are correct. I should save up for my forever wishlist such as diamond tennis bracelet, diamond stud earrings and an investment timepiece :) & I am still young. I am 27 now. My preference for jewelries will still change for sure. Good thing my current purchases are on the safe side.

I like your cross a lot CSG! I prefer it over the infinity necklace. I think it's personal preference, I haven't gotten into the infinity sign yet but never say never.

I say buy what you like. Very few jewelry or fashion items are a true investment where you can get all the money you paid for it back or more if you sell it. You have to buy what makes YOU happy, not what someone else likes.
