The latest trend in jewelry, accessories, and fashion is, mercifully, all about high-impact, low-fuss pieces that will withstand the test of time. Case in point: Piaget, which is hotter than ever, has been selling its Limelight Gala timepiece—a tribute to Gala Dali [Salvador’s wife] and surrealism—since 1973 and it still looks as relevant today as it did then.

New jewelers are also offering compelling perennially chic pieces. Take American designer, Adam Neeley, and his ultra-sleek Riviera cuff and Avalon ring crafted from his proprietary SpectraGold (an ombre blend of 18-karat white gold and yellow gold)—a certifiable classic. Giorgio B is also a newcomer, although as a Bulgari family member, he’s no stranger to jewelry. His sculptural and modern pieces like the Palma cuff, bracelet, and ring prove he’s got the family’s creative gene—the setting on the ring has a trompe-l‘œil effect where the prongs appear to go straight through the stone they cradle.
These are just a few honorable mentions of the wear-everywhere accessories dominating the style scene these days. The options are plenty and versatile from an elegant Joseph Duclos sage green bag to Glenn Spiro’s jaw-dropping but easy-to-wear aquamarine cuffs. Here are plenty of reasons to keep your closet and your vault fulfilled for more than one season.
