The styling essential: Everyday diamonds
With Silicone Valley’s power players wearing hoodies to work and modern women championing the hi/lo look every day of the week, the traditional concept of the ‘dress code’ is quickly becoming obsolete. So it’s only fitting that your jewelry should follow suit: why save diamonds just for special occasions? Parisian jeweler Valérie Messika believes that investment pieces should reflect your personal style and become an integral part of your uniform, so she’s teamed up with model Gigi Hadid to create a collection of delicate pieces that do just that. Other labels championing the everyday diamond include Repossi, Persée, Anito Ko and Spinelli Kilcollin, whose sculptural yet delicate jewels strike the perfect balance between elegant and effortless. Designed to work solo or stacked, they’ll lend anything – from track pants and a tee to your new-season shorts suit – an air of luxury.
