The first item on our list is a pair of diamond stud earrings. Diamond stud earrings are a wardrobe essential because they’re perhaps the most classic and versatile of any style of jewelry. A timelessly beautiful pair of diamond studs simply pairs perfectly with any ensemble. Diamond studs can add style and shimmer to a casual jeans and t-shirt look, help your work outfits look elegant and put-together, or amp up the sophistication of black tie attire.
All diamond studs are timeless, wearable, and incredibly versatile. But if you’re looking for a new pair of diamond studs (or for your first pair), you may be wondering which style of diamond studs you should select. There are many different diamond stud styles, since though diamond studs have a simple design, there are numerous diamond shapes, precious metals, and setting styles for you to choose from. So which is right for you? Which style would be the most versatile for your wardrobe?
The style of diamond studs that would be right for you is very personal. If you have a more classic sense of style, you’ll probably love a pair of round brilliant diamond studs (like the pair pictured above), since this diamond shape is easily the most classic option. Or, if you have more distinctive sense of style, you may want to opt for a more unique diamond shape that would pair well with your more unique everyday looks.
Then, whichever diamond shape you choose, we recommend choosing the precious metal that best complements your skin undertone, which will ensure that your studs will be highly flattering. If you aren’t sure which precious metal would pair best with your skin tone, here’s a cheat sheet: yellow gold is flattering on warm skin undertones, rose gold is flattering on neutral skin undertones, and white gold and platinum are flattering on cool skin undertones.
Next up, we have hoop earrings! Hoop earrings are an excellent staple piece to have in your jewelry box because they allow you quickly add a stylish, statement-making element to any look. Hoop earrings can take an outfit from simple to incredibly stylish in mere moments.
For the most versatile and flattering look, we recommend that you find a pair of hoop earrings that is scaled to your facial features, since hoop earrings are designed to frame the face. Hoop earrings can come in many sizes, shapes, and styles. If you have more delicate facial features, you may find that a smaller, more delicate pair of hoops is most flattering on you. Or if you have more bold or angular facial features, you may find that a larger, more dramatic pair of hoops looks the most complementary on you.
Another jewelry staple that every woman should own is a simple, versatile pendant necklace. Solitaire diamond pendant necklaces (like the one carat diamond pendant necklace pictured above) are perhaps our favorite option with this category, since they are beautiful, incredibly classic, and highly versatile. An elegant diamond pendant is something you can wear everyday. It adds just the right amount of shimmer to casual outfits, work attire, and upscale looks.

But for the most versatile pair of studs, we generally recommend sticking with one of the three most classic gemstones: blue sapphires, emeralds, or rubies.
