BUY SOMETHING

It’s always the right moment to buy something you willloveforever

Some things never go out of style, which is just what you should expect in a piece of fine jewelry. It should be something you love and will wear forever — and like you— never lose its ability to dazzle. This goes to the core of Terry Betteridge’s jewelry philosophy. “I don’t think jewelry should have an expiration date,” he says. “I like it to have real lasting significance." Here he takes us through some of his favorite forever pieces.

A fabulous necklace Like a little black dress, a striking statement necklace is essential to a jewelry wardrobe.

No other accessory has the power to elevate an outfit. Shown: Aletto Brothers 18K yellow gold and black onyx necklace.

A unique pendant Not only is wearing a piece of jewelry that holds life’s special memories uniquely personal to the wearer, a bold locket makes a striking statement that one can wear everyday.

An iconic bracelet

You don't have to own a lot of jewelry, just a few timeless pieces, such as this panther bracelet from Cartier. Over the last 100 years its iconic feline has become one of the most famous symbols in jewelry

history. Shown: Diamond and black onyx Panthère cuff bracelet by Cartier. Elegant gold earrings Diamonds are spectacular, but there is nothing quite like gold, yellow in particular, to make a woman feel wonderful.

Shown: Paul Morelli 18K yellow gold and diamond Unity hoop earrings.

A Fancy colored diamond The vast majority of diamonds in the world are white, but if you find yourself dreaming of something special, consider a rarer, natural-color Fancy diamond.

Shown: 5.03 ct Fancy vivid yellow diamond ring.

The future heirloom

Jewelry given to a loved one on a special occasion will always evoke the feeling of the moment and keep paying dividends to both the buyer and the recipient.

Shown: Dorota 3-strand chrysoprase bead necklace.

That great conversation piece

A design doesn't have to be conservative and safe to be timeless — but it should always be interesting to invite conversation.

Shown: Buccellati Pink sapphire, emerald and diamond butterfly pin from the Betteridge estate collection.

Statement diamond studs

You'll have the joy of wearing them every day and they'll never go out of style.

A cocktail ring
