They say that travel is an experience that teaches you modesty. But is it any fun to wander places undaunted by the midday sun, without leaving a sparkling trail behind? Here is a list of the top 6 essential diamond jewellery, to keep your bag light for when the world opens up and becomes travel-friendly again.
A Cocktail Ring
For a dose of immediate glamour and pop, carry a striking cocktail ring. These oversized baubles transform a black dress or a pair of jeans and a white shirt into an ultra-chic outfit. It doesn’t get any easier than this!

Chandelier Earrings
I’m a fan of long, dangling earrings, especially when they’re natural diamonds paired with rubies and emeralds. They’re my favourites for destination weddings, cocktail parties, brand events… anywhere you want to make a splash!
A Classic Tennis Bracelet
Every day, all day, anywhere and everywhere, again and again: I never take mine off. I pretty much forget I have it on, except when someone compliments me, or I’m staring at my keyboard with writer’s block. I wear it on the same wrist as my watch, and I stack some bangles over it too. The different colours and textures make a classic piece look contemporary and cool.

Natural Diamond Hoops
I adore hoop earrings because they’re versatile and fun. (They’re also a great style for those with square or narrow face shapes.) My favourite diamond-studded hoops were a gift from my best friend. Choose inside-out hoops (with diamonds on the inside) for their thoughtful design.

An Heirloom Piece
Whether travelling the world for work or for fun, I want a connection to my home and family—and for me that comes via my maternal grandmother’s ring. My sister and I grew up seeing my mother wear it, and we’d keep ‘borrowing’ it from her. It’s a constant memory of the women in my life I most love, admire—and miss when I travel.
A Pair of Studs
Perfect for business trips, a simple pair of natural diamond studs is jewellery’s equivalent to red lipstick: it makes you feel immediately well dressed, polished and ready to conquer the world (or at least, the day’s meetings). Plus, they match with everything you own.
