Like an unsolved puzzle, some trends will always remain a mystery to the human mind. The perfect example? Diamond grillz – ornamental jewellery for teeth that “blings out every hip hopper’s smile“.

Today’s roundup celebrates style classics, timeless items that never truly grow old and even in a poor economy environment, are great investments that will not lose in value. They say the best things in life are free – sorry…not today!
