Starting your jewellery collection from the beginning
Building up a jewellery collection takes some serious thought. Jewellery can last an entire lifetime, and each piece tells its very own tale, evoking precious memories of important milestones in our lives and represents our life story. So what kinds of jewellery are out there, and what are the absolute must-haves for your jewellery collection?

First things first: defining your jewellery style
Which jewellery pieces to add to your collection
1. Diamond stud earrings
Diamonds of 1 carat or above are stunning, of course, but not always easy to wear every day. Quality is absolutely key when it comes to stud earrings. Opt for a colour of G to H (not perfect, but nigh on colourless), and a clarity of around VS2-SI1 (Very Small Included and Small Included).
2. A dainty necklace
3. A tennis bracelet
4. Festive earrings
5. A diamond pendant
6. A cocktail ring
7. A cuff bracelet
8. Stackable rings
You can choose to wear them all on one finger or on different fingers. By mixing & matching your stackable rings in different ways, you can create a unique look every day of the week.
9. Hoop earrings
A smaller version of this type of earring are simple pendants for everyday wear, at home or in the office. They won't get in the way.
Larger hoop earrings are also very popular, especially among celebrities.
10. Personalised name pendant
Not only does this make for a fantastic addition to your jewellery collection, but it's also a fabulous gift.
Add classic jewellery
A classic piece of jewellery makes for a lovely gift for any woman who adores simplicity
Add statement jewellery
A stunning statement necklace will always draw the eye, all the more so if you'll be wearing a dress with an open neckline.
Add bridal and special occasion jewellery
Slightly more extravagant diamond jewellery is also ideal to wear on other special occasions too. Take a special flower bracelet, or a fabulous long pendant for example.
Add mix & match jewellery
Mixing & matching jewellery is best done with stackable rings. They are designed to complement one another.
You can also combine bracelets. In this instance, opt for understated, dainty bracelets. An elegant bracelet such as a tennis bracelet can even be worn alongside your watch for a trendy look.
Add personalised jewellery
Would you like jewellery that has been especially made for you, and that tells your story? At BAUNAT you can have your personalised jewellery collection. Have a piece engraved, or add your birth stone to transform it into a timeless, unique keepsake. It will not only be a fantastic addition to your jewellery collection, but a very thoughtful gift too.
Renewing your jewellery collection
- Keep. The pieces you are still attached to are best kept. These diamond jewellery pieces often hold emotional value and are worn frequently.
- Remodelling. You may find that some jewellery no longer complements your style yet contains beautiful diamonds or precious stones. These can be remodelled into new jewellery. The precious metals can also be recycled too.
- Sell. Pieces you really no longer like are better disposed of. By selling these pieces they can be enjoyed by a new owner, and you can replace them with other pieces.
