Hello, I am currently abroad and looking to do a little shopping to add to my daily everyday jewelry. I wanted to hear some opinions about what would be best to add. I currently wear a small Cartier love bracelet yellow gold with diamonds, a 18k gold plain love bracelet, MOP alhambra 5 motif, a 18k gold VCA alhambra vintage pendant, MOP lady datejust rolex with diamonds, 1 ct eternity band, and two gold rings from small independent bands. Here are some of the items I am looking at:

JUC ring (I am not sure what size or type as I must try on in store)

Which of these do you think would be best to add next? I am also open to other suggestions thank so much!
 
The VCA MOP pieces look great, but keep in mind that you cannot shower in them, shouldn't wear them in the water, and they really aren't for 24/7 wear. I take all of my jewelry off at night to sleep and also before gym/shower, but I wanted to point that out since you are talking about more of an everyday piece.

Since you have at least one piece in each category from Cartier and VCA already, aside from a ring, the JUC ring stands out as a good choice and will balance the rest of your look with a little edge. Have you considered the version with diamonds? I’ve owned both at different points but my absolute favourite is the one with diamonds (classic size). If I could only keep one ring in my entire jewellery collection it would be that one!
