You may have heard the term 'Capsule Wardrobe'.
So what is a Capsule Wardrobe? The idea behind a ‘capsule wardrobe’ is to have a small collection of versatile clothing items that are carefully selected to be able to mix and match together, allowing you to create multiple outfits with the same pieces over & over again.
So, applying this method to jewellery, we're here to help you build a Capsule jewellery collection.
The capsule wardrobe emphasises on quality over quantity. Our guide is here to declutter your vanity and help you find the perfect mix of investment everyday must-haves so you're ready for every occasion!
Why should you invest in a capsule jewellery collection?
Capsule collection pieces are timeless by definition, so will never go out of style. It is a carefully curated ensemble of timeless and versatile pieces that seamlessly integrate into your personal style. Each piece is chosen with precision, reflecting not just current trends but enduring sophistication suitable for any occasion.
All pieces from your capsule collection should be able to be worn by themselves or paired all together, depending on how bold you're feeling.
Capsule jewellery essentials
1. Earrings that can be worn from day to night: A gold pair of medium-size earrings are the way to go. They're perfect to wear in the office but they're bold enough to take you to after work drinks. Our two bestselling everyday earrings are the Teardrop & the Irregular Hoops.
2. A classic necklace: A stunning understated gold necklace, like the Herringbone can be the base for any necklace stack. It's sleek and elegant design allows it to be worn for any occasion; both casual and formal. The beauty of this staple lies in its adaptability.
3. Minimalist rings: There are no rules for buying rings for a capsule collection. Just make sure you can imagine yourself wearing it regularly — or even every day. We love the daintiness of our Knot Ring, the boldness of our Wave Ring and the simplicity of our Tiny Signet Ring for everyday wear.
4. Gold arm candy: When it comes to bracelets, it's best to choose a piece that complements your style. Personally, I love pairing a classic bracelet with a vintage watch and wearing a more statement piece alone on the other arm. The Textured Paperclip bracelet is perfect for stacking and the Knot Bangle is bold enough to wear alone.
The bottom line
A capsule collection is there to make your life easier, so don't feel like you need to fill your jewellery box all at once. Finding your personal style is a long, individual process, and your capsule will inevitably look different from everyone else's. However, quality, versatility, personal style, and what's already in your collection are always good points to keep in mind. And when all else fails, go back to basics with a chains, hoops, and stackables. They're classics for a reason.
