1. Foundation Pieces: The Most Loved Collection
When building a jewelry collection, foundation pieces are essential. These items serve as the backbone of your jewelry wardrobe—versatile and timeless, they can be worn every day or dressed up for special occasions. Oba Jewelry's Most Loved Collection offers a selection of refined, elegant designs that perfectly combine understated luxury with everyday wearability.
Astraea Gold Teardrop Necklace
The Astraea Gold Teardrop Necklace is an iconic piece that blends classic elegance with modern sophistication. This stunning necklace features three delicate, teardrop-shaped pendants suspended from a smooth gold chain. The refined design exudes luxury, making it a perfect foundation piece to pair with a variety of outfits.
Whether you're dressing for a busy day at the office or preparing for a night out, the Astraea Gold Teardrop Necklace transitions effortlessly from day to night. It's simple enough to wear daily but bold enough to make an impact. The polished gold finish enhances its timeless appeal, and its versatile design allows you to layer it with other pieces or wear it solo for a chic, minimalist look.
Styling Tip: Pair this necklace with a crisp blouse or a tailored blazer for a polished, professional look. For a more relaxed style, wear it with a simple T-shirt or sweater to add an elegant touch.
Kora Gold and Pearl Earrings
The Kora Gold and Pearl Earrings perfectly balance classic and contemporary design. These elegant earrings feature freshwater pearls suspended from delicate gold chains, creating movement and catching light with every turn. The versatile design makes them suitable for both daytime and evening wear.

Perfect for any occasion, this piece effortlessly transitions from daytime refinement to evening glamour, ensuring it’s a standout in any jewelry collection.
Styling Tip: The Tova Gold Ring shines solo or in a curated stack. Pair it with a simple hammered gold band for classic elegance, or layer with textured or gemstone-studded rings to add depth. For a modern twist, mix metals like silver or rose gold, or keep to a single tone for timeless sophistication. This versatile piece effortlessly adapts to any style or occasion.

This bold necklace features geometric patterns in high-polish gold, creating a modern interpretation of classic collar necklaces. The piece is substantial enough to stand alone yet refined enough to layer with other necklaces for special occasions.
