Build your forever-flexible capsule (for women, men, and kids)
A smart capsule is a small collection of mix-and-match pieces that cover work, weekends, special moments—and everything in between. The key is keeping your base classic, then spinning in a few on-trend details to make it current.
-
For women
- Start with a clean chain necklace (a cable or herringbone) as your “base layer,” then add a pendant or two when you want a focal point.
- Everyday studs or small hoops keep things polished on busy days. When you want a statement, the Marbella Two-Tone Disc Drop Earrings ($55) deliver drama without shouting.
- A tennis bracelet instantly elevates a T-shirt-and-jeans day. The 14K Gold Plated Classic Tennis Bracelet at $13.99 is a budget-friendly MVP that also plays nicely with watches and bangles.
- Round it out with a delicate ring stack and an ankle bracelet for warm-weather days or beach vacations—more styling ideas below.
-
For men
- A simple curb or rope chain (18–22") is a no-brainer base. Layer a slightly shorter chain or add a small, meaningful pendant to personalize.
- A sleek bracelet—think box link or understated tennis style—pairs well with your watch and suits or tees.
- A signet ring or slim band adds character without going overboard. If you have piercings, minimal studs or small huggies keep it sharp.
- Anklets? Absolutely an option. Go for a thicker chain or black cord mixed with gold accents for a clean, modern vibe.
-
For kids
- Keep it comfy, durable, and fun: tiny studs, a charm bracelet, or a petite pendant necklace. Bonus points for adjustable clasps to grow with them.
- Choose smooth profiles (nothing too sharp or dangly) and secure closures. Jewelry should be removed for sports and playground time.
- Matching moments are cute: a parent-and-kid charm set or coordinating bracelets that still feel age-appropriate.
Capsule styling cheat codes:
- Stick to 2–3 “signature” metals or finishes. Two-tone pieces like the Marbella earrings make mixing effortless—pair them with yellow, white, or even rose gold-plated pieces.
- Combine textures: a sleek herringbone with a daintier cable; a tennis bracelet with a box link; matte with high-polish.
- Balance scale: if your earrings are a statement, keep necklaces delicate; if you stack multiple bracelets, go minimal on rings.
How to choose and care for 18K gold-plated staples
Gold-plated can be gorgeous, durable, and wallet-friendly—if you choose wisely and care for it well. Here’s your quick guide.
What to look for when shopping:
- 18K gold plating for that rich, warm tone that flatters all skin tones.
- Thoughtful base metals and finishing. Rochas uses recycled metals—good for the planet, and great for everyday wear.
- Lead- and nickel-free where possible if you’re sensitive.
- Solid construction: secure clasps, smooth joins, and a finish that feels even and substantial.
- Two-tone or mixed-metal options if you want maximum versatility from fewer pieces.
Care tips that pay off:
- Last on, first off: make jewelry the final step after skincare, sunscreen, and perfume; remove it before workouts, showers, pools, and bedtime.
- Quick daily wipe: a soft, dry cloth removes sweat and product residue that can dull the finish.
- Weekly refresh: a gentle clean with mild soap and lukewarm water, then pat dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive polishing.
- Smart storage: keep pieces separate in soft pouches or compartments to prevent scratches and tangles. A little anti-tarnish tab in your jewelry box is a plus.
- Travel trick: pack sets together—necklace, bracelet, earrings—in small bags so you can grab one “look” on the go without rummaging.
Longevity 101:
- Plating thickness and how you wear your pieces both matter. Rings and bracelets see more friction; rotate your favorites to extend their life.
- If you’re hard on jewelry, choose smoother textures and sturdier chain styles (like box or curb) that handle daily wear better.
- With a simple care routine, your 18K gold-plated pieces will keep their glow and your cost-per-wear will keep dropping.
Mix classics with modern accents (and a few outfit formulas to steal)
The quickest way to look pulled together is to anchor your look with timeless basics and add one eye-catching element. Try these simple combos.
-
The everyday glow-up
- Start with small hoops or studs, add the Classic Tennis Bracelet ($13.99) for instant polish, and finish with a slim chain necklace. Works for school pick-ups, coffee runs, and casual Fridays.
-
The desk-to-dinner switch
- Swap your studs for the Marbella Two-Tone Disc Drop Earrings ($55), leave your chains layered, and stack the tennis bracelet with a watch. Two-tone earrings harmonize with any metal on your watch band or ring—no overthinking.
-
The weekend uniform
- White tee, relaxed denim, sleek chain, and a single statement ring. Add an anklet for warmer days to keep the look light and playful.
-
The minimal-with-a-twist menswear set
- A 20" curb chain, clean signet ring, and a low-profile bracelet. If you want trend without trendiness, add a two-tone accent like the Marbella vibe but in your preferred scale.
-
The family photo strategy
- Keep a shared thread—like a tennis bracelet or matching chain style—then let each person choose a personal detail (a charm, two-tone drop, or an anklet) so the look feels cohesive but authentic.
Pro tip: two-tone pieces are your style insurance. They pull together your existing yellow-gold, white-gold, and steel or silver pieces in one move, so you can wear what you already own and still look coordinated.
Anklet styling made easy (+ how to save right now)
Anklets are back (and honestly, they never left). They’re a low-effort way to add personality, and Rochas has options for everyone—delicate chains, tennis styles, and chunkier links.
How to pick your fit:
- Measure just above your ankle bone with a soft tape, then add 0.5"–1" for comfort. If you like it slouchy, add a bit more.
- Adjustable chains are great for boots-and-sneakers seasons—go shorter for sneakers, a touch longer for sandals.
How to wear:
- Minimalist: one slim chain with low-top sneakers or loafers.
- Layered: mix a tennis anklet with a delicate chain for sparkle and movement.
- Beach days: pair an anklet with toe-ring sandals and a breezy midi—keep the rest of your jewelry simple.
- Guys’ guide: try a slightly thicker chain in a clean silhouette; keep it just visible above your sneaker or sandal strap for a subtle flex.
- Kids’ comfort: choose smooth, snag-free links and remove for sports and sleep.
