I don't really own any designer jewelry, but I guess "under-rated" could also mean those pieces that didn't really exicte you when you got them, but you find yourself going back to over and over again.
1. A small ruby/diamond/14k stylized leaf pendant. My first piece of "real" jewelry I bought about 20 years ago from Best (a discount store/catalogue). I bought it by mail order, over the phone (remember when we did that, instead of the Internet!?!). My pendant has outlasted the store--they went out of business a few years later. It's a modest little pendant, but beautifully made, and the rubies are perfect. I keep going back to it, and still marvel at how pretty and well-made it is.
2. A chunky smoky topaz y necklace from WalMart, of all places. I get so many compliments on it. I think I paid $27 for it a few years ago.
3. A sterling, freshwater pearl, turquoise, amber necklace from eBay. When I saw the tumbnail pic, I thought, "Lord, what an ugly necklace!", Then, when I enlarged the pic, I loved it--and bought it. I wear it often, and always get at least 2 compliments each time. I even bought another one later, as the seller gave me a great deal on it--and I loved it so much, I wanted another one, in case I lost the first one!
4. A pair of sterling and white freshwater pearl (about 8mm) stud earrings. I wear these probably once a week. Plain earrings that go with so many things...
5. Plain 14k or sterling hoop earrings. They're the work-horses of my collection.

Nice! The bottom bangles look similar to Ring Concierge's fluted collection, so you can get that in good conscience and save $$$$$!
Stephen Webster has a thorn collection too - the rings look stunning.
... but I agree Dior's Bois de Rose line as a whole is gorgeous!!!
I’m not a Dior fan but love that line, I wouldn’t consider it underrated at all!
