6 Tips for Giving Jewellery as a Gift

What Jewellery Do They Already Wear?

The first step in finding a jewellery gift that will suit their style, is to take a moment to think about what accessories they currently wear. Using this information to inform what you choose is a foolproof way to make sure they can incorporate their present into their everyday ensemble.

Metals - Most people tend to prefer one metal over another for jewellery. If your recipient tends to wear sterling silver jewellery, then this is the best place to start. Whereas those that adorn warmer tones, might be better suited to a gift of chic gold necklaces with their radiant tones.

Types of jewellery - Take note of whether they tend to wear subtle rings, bold necklaces, elegant bracelets, or understated earrings. If they appear to have a preference for one, then narrow your search for the perfect jewellery gift to this category. If you're thinking of giving them a pair of gold earrings, we'd recommend just double checking they have ear piercings first.

Find Out Their Favourite Colours

If you're thinking of purchasing a vibrant piece of gemstone jewellery for a loved one as a gift, we recommend choosing a stone in their favourite colour. You'll uncover a wealth of jewellery gifts boasting stunning stones in every shade under the sun:

• Colourless - Ethical diamond jewellery is the ultimate choice - particularly if buying for your partner.
• Rainbow Lustres - Choose a gift that showcases a rainbow lustre under the light with natural pearl jewellery
• Blue - Bright turquoise jewellery is perfect for those who like to make a statement.
• Green - Green Onyx is a flawless choice if your recipient has an elegant sense of style.
• Pink - The pale hues of rose quartz jewellery are gorgeous as an everyday accessory,
• Red - Red is often seen as good luck when given as a jewellery gift, and red onyx beads can represent just that.
• Yellow - Lemon quartz jewellery boasts a gorgeous orange-yellow hue.
• Purple - You cannot go wrong with amethyst jewellery as a gift.

What Do You Want the Jewellery Gift to Symbolise?

Different jewellery gifts symbolise different things, with certain designs being perfect for very specific occasions. Sparkling diamond rings are often given between partners as a representation of their never ending love, popular as promise rings for events such as births of children and anniversaries.

Whereas a more casual jewellery gift, like a thoughtful friendship bracelet, can represent the unbreakable bond between close friends. Take a moment to dive into the meanings of colours and types of jewellery before choosing your final gift.

Size Matters

You want your loved one to enjoy their jewellery gift from the moment they receive it. Ensuring you've checked jewellery size guides before purchasing will make sure this is possible.

• Rings - Our ring size guide gives you the tools to work out their ring size without them knowing. Simply find a ring they already wear and use the guide to measure.
• Bracelets - Make sure their bracelet gift fits their wrist by following a bangle and bracelet size guide.
• Earrings - Whilst earrings don't need to be a certain size to fit, if you think you want to treat them to a pair of hoop or huggies you may want to explore sizes. Our hoops and huggies size guide helps you visualise what each piece will look like when worn.
• Necklaces - There are a wealth of necklace lengths, and a chain size guide can help you find the perfect piece to suit your loved one.

Get it Gift Wrapped

Whether you're rushed for time, or simply like the wrapping of your jewellery gifts to be perfect - check whether you can get the piece you've picked wrapped for you. This will make the moment the recipient receives it even more special as they work their way through the layers of packaging.

Add a Personal Touch

Another factor to consider when choosing a jewellery gift is whether you want it to be personalised. There are a number of ways to personalise a design to your special someone:

• Engravings - Engraved jewellery lets you etch a special date, their monogram, or a short message onto their gift. This will ensure their present is one of a kind, and something they'll continue to cherish.
• Birthstones - If you're choosing a jewellery gift for a birthday then you cannot go wrong with birthstones. Birthstone jewellery represents the month in which they were born, extra special for big birthdays!
• Pendants - If you've chosen a piece, like sentimental charm bracelets, to be personalised over time, then gifting thoughtful charms at different occasions is ideal.
