I have two Effy pieces that continue to sparkle despite my daily use. Some gentle cleansing goes a long way.
Effy Jewelry
Tiffany is a classic for a reason. I absolutely adore my Tiffany pearls (and so does my daughter).
Pearl Earrings | Tiffany & Co. US
I splurged on a diamond tear drop pendant while on vacation in the Bahamas 10 years ago and I genuinely wear it daily. Love their designs and quality.
Canare 18K Yellow Gold Yellow Diamond Teardrop Pendant
Bags & Leather Goods
I have the dusty pink version of this and I practically live in it over the summer. It's a great size for the essentials and neutral enough to go with any outfit.
Gucci
I have two of these and they are my go-to for running errands or lugging my laptop and essentials to the office. They wear in well and never lose their shape.
Neverfull MM Monogram Mid Size Cherry Red Tote
I bought the green and red striped version of this bag 20+ years ago and it still looks new. This one's a classic for sure.
Gucci Jackie Bags Collection
In my 20s, I used this as a going-out bag. These days, it's a trusty accessory pouch.

It's the colors for me. I love the variety of options for every whim.

I don't personally own these (yet) but I do hear great things about YSL shoes and how comfortable they are (surprisingly).

These are instant classics. Make sure to measure yourself for sizing, though.
