2024 FAVORITE FINE JEWELRY ✨ Everyday Pieces

Guys, hello. Welcome back to the channel, Stila Conley channel. With Valentine's Day coming up, I thought I would share with you guys my top 10 absolute favorite jewelry pieces in case you guys are thinking of buying yourself a present or suggesting, lightly suggesting to somebody else that these are things that you might want. These are also pieces that I wear constantly. I wear them almost every day or I'm just constantly reaching for them. All right, let's start off with number one, one of my absolute favorites. This is my vintage Rolex gold, 18 karat gold watch. The name of this one is Cellini. This watch, I say it's vintage because it was made in 1996. So it's almost 20 years old. And for me, something 20 years old or older, I would definitely categorize as vintage. So this is almost vintage, so but I just call it my vintage Rolex watch because mid-1990s, yes, vintage. I think this watch is very similar to the Cartier 18 karat gold watch, the Panther, but except this one's round and the Panther is just like square, I honestly like them both. And actually I was searching for a pre-loved gold Panther watch and I found this one on my search. I liked that the face plate on this is black. Most of the watches, the face plate is always white. And I just, I wear tons of black. That's like my favorite color in my wardrobe, black, white, and gray, and sometimes a little bit of cream sprinkled in there. I saw that this face plate was black. I just thought, oh wow, that watch is kind of made for me. I really like that. And this one, a lot like the Cartier watch is very low profile. It's very low key. It's a very thin watch. So when you wear it on your wrist, it's not interfering with your other jewelry. It's just on there. It's very low key. It's kind of that, what is that, a quiet luxury. I really feel like that's what this watch is. It's a very quiet luxury. It's kind of low key. It's there. Most people would never even guess that it's a Rolex or a vintage Rolex. I love this watch. It's so beautiful, simple, and elegant. Next piece that has been a staple in my collection since the moment that I got it is this Diamond Eternity necklace or diamond like tennis necklace. Diamond Eternity, it's literally got diamonds all the way around and it is 14 karat gold. This is in a 17 inch length and I think it's absolutely perfect. I don't typically wear this by itself. Most of the time I wear this layered with other jewelry pieces. I think by itself it's a little bit more formal but once you layer it with other chunky or thin or dainty necklaces or other jewelry pieces like rings or bracelets, it kind of makes it elegant but also just kind of mixing in with everything else. I love the look of layering. Ever since I got this, this has definitely been one of my most favorite and used pieces. Next is my hero item. I literally, I would say I wear this necklace, the baby box chain necklace, probably 80% of my life. Like is that not so weird? Like literally 80% of my life, I am wearing this necklace. It is maybe one of my most favorite jewelry pieces in my entire collection. It's so simple. It is so understated and it is so dainty. It can go with anything. I can wear this by itself. I can wear it layered up with a ton of other pieces. I can swim with this, sleep with this, shower with this, go to the gym when I do finally get back into the gym, ride my Peloton bike with this, walk my dog, go to work, cook. I literally do anything with this necklace. And from the moment that I got it, I put it on and I probably didn't take it off for the first like month. I don't think I took it off. I just kept putting other necklaces and layering other things with this necklace. This particular box chain necklace, I did get at just a local jewelry store that is around my house. I did find the exact same one on Mejuri.com, which I will link below. Even when I was about to film this video, I had it on and I was like, oh, I guess I have to take it off and put it in my box so that I can talk about it. Next item that I just got recently is this Spears bracelet. So it's basically like just a little chain and it's got these little Spear ball things on it. Every like half an inch. Again, like the box chain necklace. Once I bought this, I put it on and you guys have probably seen it in so many of my videos because I literally put it on and I have not taken it off. This is another one that I had to take off to film this video. All right, next bracelet here that I have that I got some comments on one of my last videos. This is my Tiffany hardware wrap bracelet and this is in sterling silver. This bracelet's really cool. It's long enough that you kind of just wrap it around your wrist and then you can attach it. And it's got this really fun, big, like silver, almost like a wrecking ball, like Miley Cyrus wrecking ball here. And then it comes with this little silver locket. And both of these attach and detach to the bracelet so you can move them around to kind of go wherever you want them to go. My husband bought this bracelet for me, gosh, I wanna say like five or six years ago. Some people might know it's Tiffany, but a lot of people don't know it's Tiffany. It's kind of that like, what was that again? That quiet luxury, that like hidden luxury that kind of like if you know, you know. But it's kind of similar to the old Tiffany chain that literally everybody had in the early 1990s. I think my mom got this for me when I was in college. I begged and begged and I wore this religiously for so long and this piece has been in my collection for forever. Like once you buy a Tiffany's piece, like they will not go out of your collection. They will be here forever. Just, they will need to polish them if you buy a silver piece. Randomly the same year, Franny, my dog, gave me the matching kind of wrecking ball ring with the bracelet. I was like, Frances, how did you know mom wanted the matching ring to go with that? So fun. Anytime I wear this, people are like, what is that? I'm like, it's a wrecking ball on my hand. Oh, and also with this bracelet, you can buy charms for it and attach to the bracelet. I do have this one charm. This is a greetings from Washington DC that I bought at the DC Tiffany store. Next, you guys, these are my hero rings. These are gold stacker rings and I have them in multiple sizes and multiple textures. I wear them every day. I wear them all the time. These also, this pinky one I've been wearing nonstop. I'm sure you've seen it in so many of my videos because it is just so simple and simplistic and goes perfect with my wedding ring. Next, kind of like a stacker ring, not quite. This is my eternity diamond, slim diamond ring. This is another piece from Missouri. I feel like most of my jewelry in my collection is from Missouri. I've been a customer, a loyal customer of theirs for like five years. I've never gotten anything gifted. I've literally paid full price. I've bought everything myself, but I just really liked the company. This piece, Bart got me this for my birthday last year, last, last year. I've had this over a year now and it is a piece that I wear on my index finger probably 60% of my life. It is so simple. It is dainty. It's simplistic. It is elegant and it is one of, it truly is one of my favorite rings. It's just a really well-made little ring and it's perfect for everyday use. Oh, all right, next, my signet ring. This was the very first thing that I bought from Missouri years and years ago. It is just a simple signet ring and I got my initial for my last name and actually my first name, which is C for Conley and my real first name is Cristella. I don't really go by that too often, but so my initials are CC. Hello Chanel, Coco Chanel. We're like besties. I have had this ring for so long. It is a staple in my collection. I always wear it. I have purchased other signet rings, but I always go back to this one because it's just, it's just perfect. It's simple. It's simplistic. It's been with me so long. I'm just like, it's just like home. It's so familiar to me, but it definitely is a everyday piece that I wear. Okay, oh, this ring. Oh my gosh. Okay, wait, let me take off this one. This is my chain ring and this is 14 karat gold with a 14 karat gold chain linked with a little diamond pave links in it. So it's a link ring. It's a link chain ring. Like, am I saying that right? I totally feel like I've been very confusing with the wording on that. But yeah, this ring I got from Ring Concierge, New York Jewelry, like kind of a small New York jewelry company. And from the moment I got it, I have loved this ring. It is so, I feel like it's so different and unique, but like not too aggressive. It's not too in your face. I bought it in the size eight and that fits my pointer finger as well as my middle finger on both of my hands. So I can wear it on any one of these fingers, but I tend to wear it on this finger the most. This definitely is a ring that I don't like sleep with. I will shower with this one. I have showered with this one. I have swam with this one. But for the most part, when I am wearing this, I will take it off at the end of the night. Unlike, you know, my other diamond, my slim diamond eternity ring, which I will wear literally doing anything. Okay, and my last number 10 item are, you guys are definitely not gonna be able to see these. These are my tiny mini diamond stud earrings. And I'm obsessed. And I just love how tiny and dainty they are. These are micro tiny diamond studs. And I feel like when I wear like a really bold bracelet or a bold necklace or a lot of jewelry, these are the perfect compliment because they're tiny little baby studs. They're not gonna outpower the rest of your jewelry. They're not gonna outshine the rest of your jewelry, but they are gonna give just a tiny hint of sparkle to your ear. Sometimes I even feel like I'm reaching for these tiny studs over my bigger, way more expensive diamond studs. I have two bonus pearl items because guys, I love pearls. I have, I feel like I rediscovered my love for pearls a few years ago, and I literally cannot get enough. This is a pearl necklace that I bought several years ago from Saks Fifth Avenue. And it's from a designer that I'm not even familiar with, Lauren Stewart. And she doesn't sell this necklace anymore, unfortunately, but this is one of my favorite jewelry, pearl jewelry pieces. It's got kind of a raw misshapen, like really cool shaped pearl here in the front. And then it is a beautiful set on this beautiful like chain. It's one of my favorites. And anytime I wear it, I always get compliments on it because it's just, it's a very bold necklace. Oh, so if I wore this necklace, I would wear my like little tiny diamond stud earrings would go perfect with that because this is so bold and chunky. And then these two little pearl earrings, these were so unexpected. I just typed in, I think to my Google like search bar, like search engine thing, pearl earrings. And these came up and they had a lot of reviews on their website. I think I got these from Saks Off Fifth Avenue and there was very like mixed reaction. Like, oh, I absolutely love them. They're so beautiful or they're not so great. And they were on like triple quadruple sales. So I was like, you know what? Let me just order them. Let me see what I'm working with here and see if I love them and if not, you know, great return policy with Saks Off Fifth Avenue. And when I got them, they're so organically shaped. I absolutely love them. And some of the bad reviews were like, oh, they're not shaped perfect. They're not, they don't really match, but I love that about them. I have reached for these and worn these a ton at work, a ton, just kind of wherever. And almost every single time I wear these, I get compliments. And I don't even really care about the compliments, but I'm like, oh, you guys, I got them at Saks Fifth, Saks Off Fifth Avenue. They're so great. Get them, get you some and use a coupon. And they're just like, I just want to shout it like from the rooftop because these are earrings that I just really like and have really been a surprise hero purchase. The last kind of jewelry piece I wanted to share with you is this jewelry extender. This is one of my favorite jewelry pieces that I have in my collection because this extends necklaces. So you attach this to any necklace that you have. And if you want the necklace to be a little bit longer, this gives me so many more options when I am layering pieces and wearing necklaces. Because if I have two necklaces that I want to wear and both of them are the exact same size, I can make one a little bit longer and extend it and then have the perfect layering piece. So this is something that I did get on Mejuri. This is 14 karat gold. I don't know if they have it in platinum. I don't remember, but I got this several years ago. And this is just like randomly a piece that I'm like, it's not really a jewelry piece. It's like a jewelry accessory. And it's been really, really helpful. I also wanted to show you guys. Ah! Oh my gosh, this is like slipping all over the place. I wanted to show you guys my jewelry boxes. These are from Mejuri. Like, okay, I'm such a super loyal customer. I really like Mejuri. But this is the first one that I got. This is just their regular large jewelry box. And you can put your initials on it. I put mine CC, Cristal Comic, Coco Chanel. And this box, I have absolutely loved. It comes in this beautiful, kind of like a taupey brown, almost like a beige, a blush beige, I would call this color. And it also comes in the black. But this one matches my Louis Vuitton trunk on my nightstand. So it matches perfect. It's got three inserts here. So it's got one that is for rings and I don't know, maybe smaller items or earrings. It's got another insert, little small boxes, and then a big one. And then it's got this third piece. And you can layer these any way that you want to. I have this one on the bottom. Then I put this one and I keep this one on top because this has my rings. And I feel like my rings are what I rotate the most, like every single day. So, and this also clips shut, but I never, I never clip it shut. And I don't travel with this one at all. Once I bought this, it sat on my nightstand and that is where it lives. Oh, after that one, I actually got the little travel case, which this one is absolutely perfect. I travel a ton, obviously for work and just in general, I feel like I'm always traveling with my flight benefits. So I got this and this one works perfect. I did get this one in the black leather and I did also get my initials on here. I got this one in black because this one goes in my suitcase and it rubs up against a lot of different fabrics and things. So I thought black might not show as much wear as that light blush pink. This is just a smaller one to the big, large size. And I really actually like this for travel too. And it's got two little inserts here that are really, really cute. This one I travel with if I'm gonna go stay like at my mom's house for a few weeks or I'm gonna go on a longer vacation. This one holds a little bit more than this little travel one and I just thought also that I wanted a smaller one to maybe put like more of my super special pieces that I don't wear very often, but are still, you know, deserve their own little box because they're super special. Yeah, all three of these you can get at Mejuri. I feel like I was looking for a jewelry box for a really long time. And once I found that big one, I was like, wow, this is perfect. This is such a great size and perfect to store all my jewelry. I feel like I've been talking about jewelry for a really long time. But those are my top 10 favorite everyday jewelry pieces, favorite things that I always wear with my bonus pearl things, my bonus extender piece. You guys, this one is so awesome. And my bonus jewelry cases. There's lots of bonuses here, lots of PSs. But as always, thank you guys so much for watching and I will see you on my next video.
