I think it depends on the piece. For example, I think a silver bone cuff is more lux and distinctive than the entry level Trinity bracelets (cord and chain).

I agree and it also depends on what OP meant by iconic and luxurious - I would say some of the branded silver pieces (not just by Tiffany) that are very recognisable could be described as iconic. If anything, when I think of Tiffany I immediately think of their silver pieces like the open heart, bone cuff etc and I have been wearing gold and platinum jewellery almost exclusively for years.

Luxury jewelry is not costume pieces and that exactly what the aH clic clack is. I would start with love ring as that’s iconic and within the pricepoint.

The Love ring is a great piece to start with and the wedding band version - which falls within budget - looks beautiful either as a standalone piece or stacked with other rings.

I think that for the price point the OP wants to be in Tiffany doesn’t have have luxury jewelry options. Nor do I consider Trinity bracelets to be luxury jewelry. Both of these items are made by a luxury house but are definitely entry level pieces and not fine jewelry by a long shot.

Luxury isn’t always iconic, and conversely iconic doesn’t always have to be luxury. The OP is using both terms with under 1000€ . Don’t think it’s possible to find iconic luxury for under that price point, but you could find either/or…If OP cares for ‘iconic’, I‘d suggest she goes for silver over metal. If OP cares more for ‘luxury’ - then branded gold over silver and metal…

What kind of jewelry do you like?

Before buying Hermes, do you even like bangle bracelets?

If you like bold and artistic, look for chunky sterling pieces like Elsa Peretti, Lapponia or Georg Jensen, or brass pieces like Herve van der Straeten or Alexander Calder

If you like delicate and luxurious, the VCA sweet line might appeal - its a little outside your budget ($1500) but is lovely and identifiable. (Probably buy those new because of fakes) Pearls or Diamond studs, DBTY or Cartier Legers. Hermes 18k pieces (preowned) might also be good.

If you have more of an edgy aesthetic, maybe Hermes CdC? Or Solange Azagury-Partridge pieces?

I can make a thousand suggestions, but you need to decide how you want to show up.

This is a great post. There are actually a lot of choices to start a jewelry collection, but the vibe matters.

I think Tiffany silver is OK if it's something like the bone cuff - that is a forever classic that transcends the brand. Hermes silver can also be really great, although agree that preowned 18K is a good deal.

Re-reading the OP, she uses words like “status” and “recognizable”. All of us are warning that costume jewelry is not the way to go, but we have to acknowledge some people like this. Like ladies on “Selling Sunset”….I’ve never seen so many Chanel earrings!

That said, the status/recognizable costume jewelry that I can recommend are Hermes leather bracelets. Of course, building up a collection of precious metal classic pieces could be argued to be more of a priority, I think the CDC or Kelly Double Tour will always be a great piece to add impact and luxury to any outfit.

I have more elegant and expensive taste.
My favorite pieces are Love and JaC braceletes, Alhambra - so everything that is quite classic.
I don't really like thin chain bracelets and I like the solid shape of Clic H and Love bracelets. Of course, Love is just an etalon of a bracelet for me, but not affordable for a moment :)
