5 Diamond Pieces You'll Wear on Repeat
Diamonds aren't saved for the vault anymore.
The pieces that make every must-have list are those you can wear from a Tuesday meeting straight to dinner, and more and more of them are lab-grown diamonds.
Ask any stylist or jewelry collector which diamonds are worth owning and you'll hear the same five:
- diamond studs
- diamond tennis bracelet
- stacking ring
- solitaire pendant
- signature piece
Lab-grown diamonds make that entire list far more accessible. Here's why, and how to choose each piece.
1. Diamond Stud Earrings: Your Everyday Essential
If you buy one diamond piece, make it a pair of studs. They look as right with jeans and a white tee as they do with a little black dress, and they're the piece you'll reach for every single day.
Start with three choices: size, setting and shape.
- Size: A pair weighing 1.00 carat total weight (0.50 carats per ear) is a versatile choice for everyday wear. Prefer a little more sparkle? Consider 2.00 carat total weight.
- Setting: four-prong martini setting for maximum sparkle; bezel for a sleek, snag-free fit.
- Shape: round for classic brilliance; oval, emerald or princess for a modern edge.
The lab-grown advantage: a 1.00 ctw pair costs a fraction of natural diamond, so you can size up to 2.00 ctw.
2. Diamond Tennis Bracelets: A Timeless Classic
Some jewellery never goes out of style, and the diamond tennis bracelet is a perfect example. Its continuous line of diamonds makes a statement on its own, yet it layers beautifully with a favourite watch or gold bangles.
- Fit: leave a finger's width of room.
- Clasp: choose a box clasp with a safety latch.
- Style: classic round for timeless; bezel-set or mixed shapes for modern.
The lab-grown advantage: beautifully matched diamonds that make a stunning, seamless look more accessible.

3. Diamond Eternity Bands and Stacking Rings
Diamond rings have moved well beyond the wedding ring. Today they're an everyday favourite: wear one solo on any finger, stack them in twos and threes, or mix them with your gold rings. It's all about fun.
Stack Them or Wear Them Solo
Diamond rings add just the right amount of sparkle. Mix, match, layer them up or let a favourite shine on its own.
4. Diamond Tennis Necklaces and Solitaire Pendants
Go bold or go simple. A tennis necklace is a full line of diamonds that makes a statement on its own. A solitaire pendant is one diamond on a fine chain that goes with everything and layers easily.
- Tennis necklace: 16 inches sits right at the collarbone; choose a box clasp with a safety latch.
- Pendant: 16 to 18 inches suits most necklines; round for classic, pear or oval for a softer look.
- Metal: pick the gold you wear most so it blends with the rest of your jewelry. Hint so you can stack them for a signature look
The lab-grown advantage: a full line of matched diamonds, or a bigger centre stone, for a fraction of mined.
5. Statement Diamond Jewellery: Find Your Signature Piece
Once the classics are covered, it's worth exploring and owning one piece that turns heads. That might be diamond drop earrings, a chunky signet ring flanked with diamonds, or a pair of diamond huggies worn with your studs.
No rules. Choose the piece that makes you smile, feel beautiful on the skin and make you feel absolutely fabulous.
A Little Something Unique
Think fun bracelets, a bold necklace with diamond charms or a diamond ring (or two!)
These are the pieces that bring personality to your jewellery collection
Your diamond collection is all about finding the pieces that feel like you. Start with the classics, experiment with your favourite combinations, and add a statement piece that works just for you.
