Your Ultimate Jewelry Gift Guide
There is something for everyone when it comes to gifting jewelry. Whether you’re shopping for someone whose style is minimalist, glam, rugged, or bold, you’ve got plenty of options to find the best fit in every jewelry category.
Personalized Jewelry
To take the stress out of finding something as unique as the people in your life, just start with the basics and add a personal touch. Customized jewelry gifts are such a great way to make your loved ones feel special.
- Custom name necklace: Including text in jewelry is about as personal as it gets; a custom name necklace is a lovely way to give someone a completely personalized present. You could choose their nickname, an inside joke, or a sweet reminder they can wear around their neck. Not only will this be a gorgeous, customized piece, but it can also be a fun conversation starter — don’t be afraid to get creative!
- Initial pendant and earrings: Initial pendants are a great way to take part in the layered necklace trend. Set against a simple chain, or a colorful enamel pendant, a lovely, elongated letter can be a meaningfully significant piece while remaining visually subtle (or go glam and make the letter the centerpiece set inside a circle of diamonds). Initial jewelry doesn’t have to stop at the first letter of someone’s name either; you can create an entire collection of letters: choose a few earrings for their first, middle, and last names, or give them a few different initial pendants they can mix and match.
- Zodiac necklace: Get astrological with your gifting. Are they just such a virgo? If someone you love reads their horoscope every day and has a habit of asking everyone they meet exactly when they were born, zodiac jewelry needs to be on your gift list. They’ll appreciate that you recognized something they care about, and they’ll be excited to show off their sign to the world in a really gorgeous way. Beware, leo crossing!
- Birthstone jewelry: Birthstones are another sweet way to customize a piece of jewelry. There’s a gem for every month, each as beautiful as the last, and each can provide a colorful shine to a necklace or a pair of earrings. Birthstones can be a great way to customize a piece of jewelry to the wearer, but if you happen to know their favorite stone or jewelry type, that's also a fine way to go.
For Women
For the trendy people in your life who enjoy a touch of femininity, sparkle, and elegance, here are some holiday jewelry favorites to guide your search:
- Perfect for everyday wear: The gift that keeps on giving is something they can add to their capsule jewelry collection. Think about the staple accessories they wear every day and choose an elegant piece that will work with any outfit:
- Poppy Round Diamond Pendant
- Demi Diamond Spear Pendant
- Penny Diamond Wishbone Pendant
- Tebi Diamond Tag Pendant
- Earrings: Decorative earscapes are all the rage right now. A stacked earring assortment is a unique way to create texture, color, and add dimension to a look. Help your loved one achieve the trend with a sparkling, timeless pair of earrings like these:
- Stackable rings: Stackable rings are so much fun to play around with; a few statement rings create a sense of drama, dainty bands add a touch of sparkle, and open-shape rings give a more geometric look. But who says you have to choose one type? Give the gift of mix-and-match by choosing a few rings that look swell together:
- Statement Rings: Heluviee Arched Diamond Ring, Desi Diamond Leaf Ring
- Open Shape Rings: Rowan Open Shape Diamond Ring, Open Circle Plain Gold Shape Ring
- Dainty Rings: Rose Diamond Row Ring, Reese Linear Diamond Ring, Roman Linear Diamond Ring, Renata Mini Baguette Diamond Ring
(Another helpful tip: find out the recipient’s ring size or make an educated guess, and trust that they can always get their rings adjusted if necessary.)
- Tennis bracelets: Both on and off the court, tennis bracelets make a luxurious gift. They’re simple, slender, and incredibly elegant, and they add the perfect amount of sparkle to any outfit. Here is some bracelet inspiration for your more extravagant holiday jewelry shopping:
