I'm doing that now so what I would suggest would be due to my personal taste and wish list...

for earrings I'd say diamond hoops, plain gold hoops, diamond studs and pearl studs
other wise I believe in sets
So I'd say a complete pearl set, a complete VCA motif set in your stone of choice, and somethings unique like bulgari monnette coin jewelry.
I'd also say one nice gemstone ring and a fun band or something for the other hand.
also a unique diamond pendant and a diamond by the yards strand.

I def recommend a good watch. I prefer the cartier tank and Ballon bleu watch, and the VCA master pieces- the poetic complications collection.

Hi cocochanel,

My recommendation for a 25yr old: they may not be immediately affordable, but you should perhaps have a 5yr plan, get one item each year (;

1) a classic watch-maker's watch, either mechanical or automatic. It will last a long long time. When you upgrade to a nicer piece, you can pass this on to your child.

2) a pair of hoop earrings, small hoops that hug your earlobes. Each side 5 pieces of 10 pointers , so TCW =1

3) a dbty necklace, 10 pointers

4) a dbty bracelet, 10 pointers

5) a pair of stud earrings, TCW = 1

I find these pieces youthful yet timeless. Btw, I'm way past my twenties yet still find these pieces relevant.

i turned 25 this year as well!

these are what i call my real jewellery (not tiffanys...) but i'm not sure if i would call them investment because its nothing flashy

1. 3 stone 2 aquamarine & diamond ring (they're 0.16 carat each)
2. diamond band (0.20 total carat) (its like one diamond, little bit of space, another diamond, little bit of space, etc (totalling 5 melee diamonds)
3. 0.25 carat diamond pendant necklace.

None are big/flashy but i really like the minimalist look. i wear them daily :)

plus i have rest of my life to upgrade the above to bigger stones :)

I am looking into purchasing a bigger aquamarine ring (1 carat perhaps?) surrounded by diamonds... (my dream ring= tiffany & co aquamarine legacy ring... drool)

What a nice thread. Thanks admin for transferring.

I'm not sure if these are must haves but I think...

1. A nice watch (or 2.. Haha). I have a JLC which I love from my hubby. It has an alligator strap though I think something with metal strap for the evening will be nice too.. Maybe with a bit of bling..

I personally don't wear a watch often but when I do it makes a difference to how I feel

Earrings are everything to me.. So..
2. Diamond studs
I have a pair of diamond studs I love. I bought a pair that's 0.75 on each side when I was 25, completely and absolutely blew my budget off then but now I think they are getting a bit too small. Haha!

3. Pearl studs
These are important too. I have 5 pairs in different sizes and colors. It's good to get those with removable diamond jackets or studs so you get different looks out of them

4. Hoops
I think hoops are great too. I have only one small diamond one. I love big hoops on others but not on myself

5. Ring
A nice ring - engagement or a fun cocktail or both. I only have my engagement ring now.

So for me, something I'm thinking about is whether..,

I should get a tennis bracelet - I love the look, am afraid of the price and honestly afraid that id ruin them because i type all day at work and am pretty rough in general

And then I wonder if the next time I should invest in is a cocktail ring or a nice big pendant. I don't think I go out in the evenings enough to invest in a conversational cocktail ring so maybe a pendant?

Interested to see what others say and thanks for a fun thread!

I just turned 26 recently, so here are my basics for everyday:
1. Plain stud earrings (I wear CZ because diamonds are not practical for my life right now, but they are excellent quality)
2. Skinny 14k gold rings
3. Skinny 14k gold bracelet
4. Personalized piece (mine is a small gold vertical bar with my middle name)

1. Nice watch, I have a Ballon Bleu
2. Love bracelet, elegant yet simple and timeless.
3. Diamond studs (still on my list)
4. Simple right hand ring, trinity or Alhambra on my list.
5. Necklace, either DBTY or single Alhambra

For a woman:

1. A nice ring that you can wear all day everyday (maybe something featuring your birth gemstone).

2. A nice watch

3. A set of pearl earrings and a pearl necklace

4. A nice simple, yet elegant bracelet (think Cartier Love or VCA's Perlee bracelet)

5. A pair of diamond studs (earrings)

For a dude (like me):

1. A nice watch

2. A nice bracelet that can accent your look (Guess I already got this one ticked off :p)

Then I guess that's what I can think of for men really... BUT I guess you can buy multiples for every occasion! :graucho: :D

Hope this helps and good luck!
