For a formal ceremony or a family dinner, with a business suit or a cocktail dress - if you can wear a piece of jewelry on all these occasions, then you have a classic accessory, versatile and timeless, beyond fashion trends.
Jewelers highlight five main characteristics of classic jewelry.

All parts of classic jewelry are proportional: the elements of accessories are combined according to the principle of proportionality and form a harmonious composition.
3. Restraint
The design of classic jewelry is dominated by calm, smooth lines, there is no contrast and massive details.
4. Symmetry
Asymmetry is not allowed for classic jewelry: both sides of a classic necklace or ring are identical, the left earring or cufflink repeats the shape and color combinations of the right one.
