How to Create a Capsule Jewellery Collection
New trends come and go, but timeless pieces never go out of style. One thing is for sure, we’re all aiming to become even more sustainable. We’ve seen people combatting fast-fashion with a capsule wardrobe, by buying long-lasting pieces that you can consistently re-wear.
The jewellery world is no exception, and capsule jewellery is becoming a more popular way of accessorising. If you’re looking at creating a capsule collection with timeless classics that go with any outfit, look no further.
What is capsule jewellery?
“Capsule jewellery is all about less is more. Having a capsule jewellery collection means keeping investment pieces that are re-worn, last a long time, and always look sophisticated. Capsule jewellery pieces are made with high-quality, durable materials and designed with iconic styles.” - Lorna, Head of Diamonds and Jewellery.
Creating a capsule jewellery collection doesn’t have to mean compromising on extravagance, it’s about buying jewellery as a forever investment. Choosing pieces that you’ve truly fallen in love with is key to creating a capsule jewellery collection.
Whether you’re looking for yourself or for the ultimate gift for someone special, we’ve selected some styles that we think should belong in everyone’s capsule collection.
Decadent diamond bracelets & bangles
A staple that should be in everyone’s jewellery box, diamonds never go out of style. A diamond will last forever, and so will its sparkle. Is there anything as elegant as a row of glittering diamonds on your wrist? Wear these tennis bracelets with any outfit to add luxury and glamour effortlessly. An impeccable example of how to start a capsule collection, these diamond bracelets speak for themselves…
“We’re obsessed with tennis bracelets and always will be. From day to night, they will never look out of place.” - Lorna, Head of Diamonds and Jewellery.
Simplicity meets sparkle in a stunning tennis bracelet, and we love how @debbielegrainger styles hers with her Gucci watch and a glamorous ring. Stack or wear on their own, tennis bracelets are truly versatile because of their minimalistic beauty. If you’re someone who likes to co-ordinate your diamond tennis bracelet, we recommend matching with white gold and yellow gold pieces, or a watch in stainless steel for ultimate shine.
For a constellation of sparkle, @debbielegrainger wears this Starlit 18ct Yellow Gold Wedding Ring from our Starlit by Beaverbrooks diamond collection with her bracelet. Radiating together in a unique shared setting, this stunning diamond ring features an illusion of a scalloped-edge, along with a breathtaking scintillation. Timelessly elegant and with a shine that’s out-of-this-world, Starlit by Beaverbrooks pieces will make the ultimate part in your capsule jewellery collection.
Also from our Starlit by Beaverbrooks diamond collection, this Starlit 18ct White Gold Diamond Bangle is the perfect gift for yourself or the brightest star in your life. Through the classic shared setting of Starlit diamonds, this bangle truly has a glow like no other, and will ensure you’re always shining with timeless glamour.
A diamond bangle is a beautiful piece for timeless styling. We love how @debbielegrainger has matched the yellow gold hues in her bangle to her Longines watch for a perfectly paired look. The ultimate capsule jewellery piece, diamond bangles are the ever-elegant touch to your outfit. If you love to style your diamond jewellery with other precious metal pieces, co-ordinate their tones to charm your way to effortless chic.
A winner with any outfit, this 18ct White Gold Diamond Bracelet feels just as good to wear as it looks. Delicate but charming, we love the classic design, complemented by a brilliant white gold. This Essence 9ct White and Yellow Gold Diamond Bangle is from our Essence by Beaverbrooks diamond collection. A collection that believes in meticulous design and precision, down to the last diamond, this really is jewellery to fall in love with. Adorned by yellow gold and breathtaking sparkle, this bracelet is set to be iconic forever. Meaningful motifs that symbolise hope and new beginnings make this piece a really special gift for a loved one.
Glowing yellow gold chains
Classic and fashionable, yellow gold is unforgettable. Always associated with luxury, yellow gold will last for years and when looked after, will keep its shine. Give your capsule collection a radiant touch with glowing yellow gold chain jewellery. Featuring sophisticated designs, these pieces are ones that you can truly treasure forever.
“A yellow gold chain will see you through from summer to winter for flawless styling for every season.” - Lorna, Head of Diamonds and Jewellery.
Go bold with a statement link piece, or stack your necklaces with a delicate gold chain if that’s your thing. Luxury meets old-money aesthetic in this timelessly fashionable choice for your capsule collection.
This 9ct Gold Curb Chain is a lovely piece of jewellery for a minimalistic look on its own, or perfect for a statement stack. The simplistic design adds an elegant touch to any outfit, whilst still being stylish. Keep it chic and match your yellow gold pieces with this 9ct Gold Curb Chain 50cm for a complete yellow gold look. A chain that’s suitable for the day or the night, the simple style and chunky links make for a sleek accessory.

Pearls for any occasion
If there’s one thing the jewellery world can’t get enough of, it’s pearls. A popular choice of the royals for decades, topping TikTok trends today, and a constant reoccurrence on the catwalk, our love for pearls is eternal. A capsule jewellery collection without opulent pearls just simply wouldn’t be right. Epitomising infinite luxury and elegance, this stunning gemstone will always be a favourite of many. Plus, pearls make the perfect ‘to me, from me’ gift, just in case you’re looking for a reason to treat yourself.
“The wonderful white glow makes pearl jewellery a lovely accessory if you’re going for neutral tones to complement everything with. From brunch with your girls, to an evening dinner date-night, pair with classic outfits and wardrobe staples for a truly timeless fashion.” - Lorna, Head of Diamonds and Jewellery.
A jewellery box must-have, see the ways we’re styling pearls. Who says trending jewellery can’t be everlasting?
This beautiful 9ct White Gold Diamond Freshwater Cultured Pearl Pendant and Earrings Set is the perfect pairing to make sure pearls are a staple in your capsule jewellery collection. White gold swirls around the freshwater cultured pearls, adorned with dazzling round brilliant cut diamonds. The set is guaranteed to never go out of style, and is destined to be treasured through generations. Pairing her set with a pristine white dress, @debbielegrainger’s look is chic and sophisticated.
Personal pieces
Capsule jewellery doesn’t always have to be minimalistic! Go for a pop of colour and individuality with a stunning piece showcasing your birthstone or initial pendant, because capsule jewellery is here for it! Finish your capsule jewellery (and your outfit) off with a breathtaking personal pendant or pair of earrings.
Birthstone jewellery is special because it’s true to you. As well as your birthstone, you can find a piece adorned with diamonds (if you’re jealous of the April babies) that will look good with everything.
“From our Dance collection, our birthstone jewellery is a sentimental way of accessorising in a way that’s unique to you. Show them how much you know and love them with jewellery in their beautiful birthstone.” - Lorna, Head of Diamonds and Jewellery.
Truly an everyday piece, initial pendants are a capsule jewellery must-have. With sparkling diamonds and white gold, these pendants can be styled throughout the day, from the office to your glamorous evening events, with a quiet elegance to match with your other sparkling pieces. Wear your initial (or the initial of someone really special) close to your heart for a meaningful piece of jewellery you’re sure to treasure forever.
