These 5 Timeless Jewellery Pieces Are Always Worth the Investment

Much like Hermès Birkin bags, Rolex watches are seen by many as the pinnacle of luxury and prestige, sartorially speaking. And just like their handbag counterparts, these watches hold their value extremely well, making them smart investments. According to The RealReal, pristine Rolex watches hold 97% of their value on the resale market, but they aren't the only heirloom-worthy item worth saving up for.
Below, The RealReal revealed five pieces of jewellery that are similarly wise investments. For instance, some necklaces from celebrity-loved brand Foundrae can be resold for more than they were purchased for—how's that for proof that they're especially covetable right now? Scroll down to see and shop five prized possessions that are as valuable as Rolex watches right now.
1. Foundrae Necklaces and Charms
According to The RealReal, Foundrae necklaces hold approximately 106% of their value on the resale market right now.

3. Hermès Collier de Chien Bracelets
Hermès knows how to make covetable accessories better than anyone, so it's no surprise the Hermès Collier de Chien bracelet holds 66% of its value when listed on the resale market, making it a smart investment.
4. Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra Necklaces
The Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra necklace holds an impressive 113% of its value, according to The RealReal.
As this is the most recognisable design from the brand, we don't doubt you've spotted these around.
We love this mother-of-pearl iteration.
5. Cartier Juste un Clou Bracelets
At the top of the list, Cartier's iconic Juste un Clou bracelets are the best jewellery investment that well-informed buyers can make right now. They're extremely in demand and hold approximately 106% of their value.
