The updated house classics from jewellers are less trendy than the originals, yet remind us of modern, tasteful “big day” bling with their discrete heft and textured finish. Chanel’s added its first bracelet to its quilted Coco Crush line – a slender 6mm adaptation. In 18K white or yellow gold, with or without diamonds, $9,450-$14,440, Chanel Fine Jewellery.

Over at Cartier, the brand’s signature Love bracelet with its industrial-inspired engraving has also been streamlined – not just slimmer, but also easier to fasten with one screw instead of two. In 18K yellow gold, pink gold, and white gold, $5,600-$6,000, Cartier. Jackets (on this and previous page), Liu Jo.
