Bulgari
A classic wardrobe dilemma is finding the perfect jewellery that goes seamlessly from day to night—and with Bulgari’s new Serpenti jewellery collection, that won’t be much of a problem. While the iconic motif has made hisstory since the ’60s, in its current skin the focus is on the hypnotic, seductive almond-shaped gaze of the snake, likened to the piercing gaze of a beautiful woman. With simpler silhouettes and delicate designs, and adhering to the brand’s modular jewellery concept, the versatile, contemporary new collection has slithered into our hearts—and with the snakehead dangling as a pendant for the first time ever, we’re making sure it stays close to it, too.

Cartier
With the Amulette de Cartier collection, the French brand invites you to believe in the mystical—from malachite for luck to onyx for courage, and lots more, each gemstone in their range of necklaces, rings and earrings symbolises a special quality. The newest additions to the collection are guilloche gold (for a ray of light) and snakewood (for a touch of reassurance). So whether you want to add a touch of serenity to your frenetic life (lapis lazuli) or layer on the charms, the clean, delicate silhouettes are perfect for everyday wear—not to mention, the chicest way to get lucky.

Chanel
The Bard may have given the rose celebrity status but Coco Chanel turned the camellia into fashion’s favourite flower, using the motif in everything from clothing to accessories, making it a popular emblem of the house. The Camélia collection uses the delicate flower, a symbol of purity and longevity in Asia, as muse—soft silhouettes and feminine shapes commingle, giving us a collection of rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings that’s as timeless and beautiful as Coco Chanel herself. We love the unobtrusive yet exquisite Camélia bracelets, perfect for mixing and matching, so your wrist can tell its own story.

Chopard
Get your head in the clouds—and with all the diamonds up there, it could never get lonely. The Swiss company’s Happy Dreams collection brings together their signature free-spinning diamonds and the lightness of clouds—playful pieces, from pendants to dangling earrings, in circular shapes feature simple lines with delicate diamonds floating within and around. Whether you choose the low-hanging pendants dropping delicately along your neckline or prefer a dreamy cloud- shaped ring to keep you company on a gloomy day, do it, because you’re happy.

Mikimoto
Granny-chic may come and go, but pearls are forever. And while Japanese brand Mikimoto is the world’s best- known luxury pearl jeweller, they haven’t restricted themselves to creating just occasion-worthy pearls. Their Everyday Essentials collections is for the budding pearl purveyor. So if grandma isn’t feeling generous with her pearls, start your own collection with their range of basics—think cultured pearl necklaces, stud earring and bracelets, pearl chain necklaces and solitary pearl pendants with diamond accents. We recommend making stud earrings a style staple.

Gucci
A roaring lion with piercing gemstone eyes and a gold-tinted panther aren’t the most unobtrusive pieces of everyday jewellery, but a sensual, animal-themed ring on your finger sure is a striking reminder to stay fierce, every day. While the horsebit motif remains, with delicate silver pieces and the brand’s emblem front and centre in the form of simple pendants, bracelets, logo rings and earrings, the latest additions to the Italian brand’s silv er and fashion jewellery range include feline heads, a range of spikes and an influx of bejewelled bugs—and our picks are perfect to unleash your inner diva.

Van Cleef & Arpels
History does, in fact, repeat itself, especially within the hallowed halls of this French brand; the tradition of beaded jewellery dates back to the 1920s, and circa 2016 their Perlée creations remain faithful to this technique. The latest additions to the collection are three thin, delicate beaded bracelets. Available in white, yellow and rose gold, wear a single bangle if low-key is your everyday jam or stack them with more traditional creations (diamond-studded Perlée cuffs) to stay hand-in-hand with the arm candy trend that’s going around.
