The Beauty of
Bejeweled Watches
W
Whether a few subtle diamond-set hour markers or a timepiece entirely pavéd in precious gems, bejeweled watches are cherished for the added sparkle they add to any wrist. Depending on the number of gems used — not to mention whether precious metals are also added into the mix — bejeweled watches can range from relatively affordable to exceedingly expensive, making it easy to find a suitable one for a variety of budgets. While dressier timepieces embellished with gems are classics, robust sports watches decorated with a dash of diamonds make a strong style statement. Diamonds paired with gold is a tried- and-true formula that’s easy to fall in love with, yet stainless steel peppered with diamonds is the timekeeping equivalent of fashion- forward high-low dressing.
