By Olivia Ciardi, GalTime.com
Seems like I'm always being told what to stock my closet with (LBD, anyone?), but what classic pieces should I have in my jewelry box? A bauble's color, shine, and texture have the power to transform any outfit!
Kendra Scott, CEO and Founder of Kendra Scott Jewelry, gives GalTime the scoop on 5 timeless pieces that every woman should have at her fingertips.
1. Dangly Earrings: Whether classic black, or bright and shiny, dangly earrings are modern, elegant and guaranteed to get you compliments. They can be paired with everything from an evening dress to a basic t-shirt and jeans.

2. Statement Necklace: Not only can this timeless piece easily "make" an outfit, Kendra says it's extremely wearable for women of all ages, making it a smart investment. Statement necklaces are also versatile. They can be worn with everything from a formal, strapless dress to a solid colored shirt in a complimentary, or contrasting, color.

Just remember Kendra's advice: Avoid wearing this type of necklace with dangly or bold earrings. This pairing can overwhelm you and your outfit, so reach for some smaller studs, and try a cocktail ring for extra bling!

3. Cocktail Ring: Never underestimate the power of a bold cocktail ring! This oversized bauble is classy, sexy, and instantly spices up any outfit...and we mean any outfit! So go ahead...put a ring on it!
Tela Cocktail Ring, $39.97
4. Stellar Studs: Kendra says everyday studs are a necessity. For a casual day, or with an eye-catching statement necklace, a set of neutral studs will always come in handy. Have a backup pair of colorful, sassy studs on hand for when you're feeling funky!

5. Cuff Bracelet : With mecury rising, and sleeves starting to get shorter, it's the perfect time to pick up a classic cuff. This is a must-have piece that you can mix and match with almost anything, so don't feel guilty if you spend some extra dough on one. Kendra says it's worth every penny!
You can go for a solid cuff, mix things up with a cool geometric shape, or try a sparkler embedded with jewels. Most are adjustable to fit any wrist size!
