For the days when you need to accessorise in an instant, having a jewellery collection which boasts some utterly timeless pieces will stand you in excellent stead. Here at Hello! Fashion, we're all about curating a collection of classics that are worth their weight in gold – get it?

Unfortunately, high quality materials and world class designs are unlikely to come cheap, and so, gearing up for the long haul is the best approach. Upgrading your jewellery arsenal overnight is not going to be feasible, not unless you're harbouring a recent lottery win – in which case, all power to you.

Playing the slow game and saving up for an exquisite investment piece is a stellar shopping goal. Bypassing current jewellery trends and swerving those pesky impulse buys is not only far better for your environmental impact, but also will help ensure that you only acquire pieces that you absolutely adore.

When it comes to jewellery investment, the key is to do your research. Considering which gemstones and metals will hold their value is important, as is working out what is missing from your current jewellery repertoire.

For instance, a stylish pair of hoop earrings are a complete must. A style that could accompany you to the office as well as the after-hours soirée is well worth an investment – Jennifer Fisher has a brilliant selection. Likewise, a versatile statement necklace that, crucially, actually flatters your décolletage is a great place to start. Rest assured, Swarovski has you covered. 

Hello! Fashion shares the best investment jewellery you'll cherish forever:

The classic ring

No jewellery arsenal is complete without an elegant, no-frills ring that goes with everything. Chanel's Coco Crush collection is one of the brand's most iconic jewellery lines, and each piece is infused with enduring appeal.

  The everyday chain

If you're looking to be selective, investing in a piece that you know you'll get constant wear out of is the prudent approach. A simple gold chain will go with everything, and we adore Susan Caplan's vintage offerings.

The pearl charm 

Pearls are having a moment right now, and we're totally here for it. While the precious gemstones skyrocketed in popularity during the early half of the 20th century, they're still commanding attention in 2023. Mejuri's delicate charm allows you to personalise your eardrobe (yes, it's a thing).
