As summer comes to an end and we all start getting back into our routines, I’ve been getting the same question from clients: “What jewellery should I wear to work?”
For me, office jewellery should feel effortless. It should add something to what you’re wearing without becoming the first thing people notice. I tend to look for pieces that are comfortable, versatile and easy to wear from a morning meeting through to dinner afterwards.
There isn’t one right answer, of course.
Some days call for something very subtle, while others are an opportunity to bring a little more personality into your outfit. I’ve put together some of the pieces I’d personally recommend, including both natural diamond and gemstone jewellery and our lab grown diamond collection
Natural Diamond & Gemstone Jewellery for the Office
When I want something that feels timeless and personal, I naturally gravitate towards our natural diamond and gemstone pieces. These are the pieces I find myself reaching for when I want a little colour, sparkle or individuality without feeling too dressed up.
Rectangle Burmese Ruby Necklace
The rich red of the Burmese ruby brings colour to a simple work outfit, while the delicate diamond halo keeps the overall look refined and easy to wear.
Mixed Shape Diamond Half Band
A combination of diamond shapes gives this half band a little more interest than a classic diamond ring, while remaining understated enough for everyday office wear.
Antique Look Aquamarine Earrings
The soft blue of aquamarine is beautiful with neutral tailoring, and the antique-inspired design adds character without feeling overly formal.
Baguette Hexagon Diamond Earrings
For someone who prefers their jewellery a little more contemporary, the geometric hexagon and baguette diamonds make these an elegant statement while still feeling very polished.
Diamonds Clovers Chain Necklace Short
This is one of those easy everyday necklaces that works beautifully on its own or layered with something finer, making it particularly versatile for a busy working day.
Lab Grown Diamond Jewellery for the Office
I know many of our clients are also looking for lab grown diamond jewellery for everyday wear. I love that there are now so many ways to approach diamond jewellery, and our lab grown collection gives you another option when choosing pieces for your wardrobe.
For work, I particularly like designs that feel modern, comfortable and easy to wear repeatedly.
Lab Grown Diamond Drop Beaded Necklace
The combination of gold beads and lab grown diamonds gives this necklace a relaxed elegance that works beautifully with everything from a crisp shirt to a simple knit.
Lab Grown Marquise Diamond Tennis Necklace
A modern take on the classic tennis necklace, the marquise-shaped diamonds add a subtle sense of movement while keeping the overall look sophisticated.
Lab Grown Diamond Dome Ring
The sculptural dome shape makes this an effortless statement ring, especially when you want one piece to do all the work.
Lab Grown Diamond Bracelet with Heart-Shaped Diamonds
The small heart-shaped diamonds give this bracelet a personal detail that feels feminine and understated enough for everyday office wear.
2.5ct Round Lab Grown Diamond Earrings in a Hex Setting
If you prefer a little more sparkle, these round lab grown diamond earrings are framed by a clean hexagonal setting that makes them feel polished rather than overly formal.
My Approach to Office Jewellery
Ultimately, I don’t think there are strict rules when it comes to jewellery for work. Your jewellery should feel like you. We live in a city which is safe, so it gives you the opportunity to dress up!
Some of my clients love wearing one beautiful necklace every day. Others prefer a pair of diamond earrings they never take off, while some enjoy changing their jewellery depending on their outfit or mood.
My advice is always to start with what makes you feel comfortable and confident. Choose pieces that work with your everyday wardrobe, that you can wear for hours without thinking about them, and that still feel special when you catch a glimpse of them during the day.
For me, that’s what makes good everyday jewellery. It becomes part of your routine, rather than something you have to think about. As we head back into the busy season in Hong Kong, I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone chooses to wear back to the office.
