One of the classiest accessories worn on an outfit can be a brooch. It can be a sentimental motif, quirky, cool, modern, insect, or floral depending on your taste. Some may regard them with the ladies who lunch, or the country club set, but I think they're for anyone who'd like to add a little pizazz.
Brooches can also have functional value such as holding a garment together, otherwise an elegant substitute for a button or a pin. According to Wikipedia, the brooch (archaically called a fibula) is a decorative piece of jewelry designed to be attached to garments.
(See: Brooch)
Jewelry designers often add chains which can allow you to wear them as a necklace.
