Must-Have Jewels: Five Essentials for the Perfect Capsule Collection
What are the must-haves for every woman’s jewellery collection? This is a question that I often hear from my @katerina_perez Instagram followers. On the internet, you will find plenty of articles advising you to invest in a cocktail ring or a pair of diamond studs, but I want to look at jewellery must-haves differently and highlight their various functions rather than ‘looks’.
Have you ever gone looking for a pair of earrings in a drawer or jewellery box, only to discover a completely different pair you’d forgotten about? I try and quell this desire to amass more pieces in favour of treasuring those I have. In fact, most of my personal jewels are linked to a person or a special event in my life to bring me positive energy and make me smile.
