Buying a piece of fine jewellery is a big deal.

If you've been thinking about making your first purchase of a fine jewellery item or are looking to add to your collection, there are plenty of noteworthy pieces to have on your radar.

While they all fall under the umbrella of fine jewellery, they are pieces you can wear every single day, whether you're getting dressed up or throwing on a more casual look. Ahead, let's dive into the best fine jewellery items to know about that you'll be sure to spot on fashion insiders—be prepared to stop and stare at all of these.

Though Repossi is known for its striking modern designs, the jewellery house was founded in the 1940s. Gaia Repossi is now at the helm and still designs many of the pieces in the same workshop as her great-grandfather—including the diamond-studded Serti Inversé earrings that have been taking over on the Instagram fashion scene. The architectural, minimalist pieces are the ultimate modern take on a diamond earring and look stunning on their own or stacked in multiple pairs.
