Global — Watches aren't always top of mind when daydreaming about fabulous jewelry. Diamond earrings? Yes. Cocktail rings? Most definitely. But watches? Not so much. Watches are like a classic knit turtleneck from J. Crew – you know it would be a great basic, yet it never quite ends up in your closet.
However, cocktail watches have been making a come-back, becoming a wearable diamond bracelet of sorts that are significantly more affordable. With a black or neutral satin strap and the added allure of diamond milgrain, these accessories really pop and can be added to nearly any outfit. A chic and wearable accessory with the allure of diamonds; what more could you ask for?
So, where does a girl find one of these trendy tickers?
A favorite among many is the Chanel J12. Not only is it nearly un-scratch-able, it's inlaid with 60 diamonds and naturally trés chic.
The reigning monarch of ladies cocktail watches is Cartier. While their classic watches made them legendary, the Cartier opulent jungle theme has added a new level of glamour. A Cartier timepiece might be a splurge, but it's fabulousness is timeless. Oh la la!
