1. Diamond Stud Earrings
Simulated Cushion Cut Diamond Stud Earrings
Diamond studs are a true jewelry classic. They’re like the little black dress of jewelry: they’re always stylish, elegant, and perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re wearing jeans and a t-shirt, a ball gown, or office attire, diamond studs are the perfect accessory.
There are many styles of diamond studs for you to choose from for your collection of jewelry staples. But if you’re looking for a more timeless look from your diamond earrings, we recommend selecting a classic diamond shape, such as round, cushion cut, or princess cut.
2. Stackable Rings

Elegant and simple rings, like the simulated diamond eternity band pictured above, look lovely on their own, but they also add a lot of versatility to your jewelry wardrobe. By stacking simple rings in different ways, you can create new looks every day.
3. Initial Necklace
Delicate “A” Letter Initial Pendant With Simulated Diamonds
An initial pendant is a perfect everyday necklace. Initial necklaces are chic and stylish, and also add a personalized touch to every outfit. When you customize your initial necklace, you can opt for your initial, which is a fashionable and classic option. Or, you can give your initial piece a sentimental touch by selecting the initial of a loved one, such as your child, spouse, or grandparent.
4. Dainty Diamond Necklace
7 Symbols of Joy Simulated Diamond Choker
A delicate diamond necklace is a versatile piece that will add the perfect amount of shimmer to any look. When worn alone, a dainty diamond necklace is extraordinarily elegant. When worn as a part of a layered look, a simple diamond necklace can be modern, stylish, and fun. A delicate diamond necklace simply offers the best of both worlds.
5. Cocktail Ring
Checkerboard-Cut Blue Topaz and Simulated Diamond Ring
A cocktail ring is glamorous and gorgeous, and it can be a great way to pull your whole outfit together. Cocktail rings can add color, dimension, and contrast to an outfit in mere moments, instantly elevating it.
One of the best things about cocktail rings is that, though they’re a classic jewelry staple, they’re by-nature meant to be unique and bold. So, for your go-to cocktail ring, you can choose any eye-catching, colorful statement piece that speaks to you and your unique style.
6. Tennis Bracelet
Princess Cut Simulated Diamond Bracelet
Tennis bracelets have always been an evening wear staple. A diamond tennis bracelet is simply the perfect way to round out a special occasion look.

So whether you’re dressing for day or night (or need a day-to-night look), a tennis bracelet can add the perfect touch of shimmer and elegance to your ensemble.
