Before you know it, Christmas is coming again this year. One of the most important parts of every festive season is giving gifts to each other. Gifts can not only promote the relationship between family members, but also increase the atmosphere of the festival, which can be said to be two birds with one stone.
So have you picked out the gifts for your friends and family? If you are still struggling with what gifts are more appropriate, this article can just help you. There are countless gifts in shops to choose from, but I think the best gift is jewellery, especially for jewellery loving friends.
Jewellery is the most timeless and meaningful of all gifts as it can be kept for a very long time and without any surprises, you can wear it forever. If you don’t have the right occasion to wear it then you can also keep it in your collection, jewellery is usually highly collectible. If your family and friends receive a piece of jewellery from you at Christmas – a wonderful time of the year – they will surely feel valued and cherished by you.
So what specific types of jewellery are available? Let’s take a look.
A guide to choosing jewellery
According to the different tastes, styles and preferences of each person, within your budget, you can choose different styles and shapes of jewellery, such as earrings, pendants, necklaces, rings, etc. You can also pick jewellery inlaid with diamonds or gemstones of various colours (rubies, pearls, amethysts, emeralds, sapphires), and a direct gift of gold jewellery is also a good choice. If you can’t find one you’re happy with, you can look for jewellers who offer bespoke services for all budgets and styles of jewellery and tell them what you want, such as the design, shape, metal, cutting technique, carat, colour, etc. you need. They will use a special stereo microscope to magnify the parts of the jewellery that need to be engraved, which will maximise fine engraving and ensure that you end up with the engraving you want.
List of jewellery for you to choose from
Earrings
Beautiful pearl earrings are definitely the most dazzling of all jewellery pieces, and they are a must-have for almost every jewellery-loving collector. So, choosing a pair of earrings as a gift is a choice that you can never go wrong with. Of course, when buying earrings, there are different styles and designs for you to choose from such as studs, hoops, pendants or designer specialities.
Among the many styles of earrings, I would most recommend you to buy studs as they are most suitable for wearing in daily life. While hoop earrings, dangling earrings and drop earrings are more suitable for special occasions. Earrings can maximise the glitz and sophistication of your outfit. It makes an elegant gift and a great addition to a jewellery collection.
Rings
Throughout history, rings have been a symbol of love between couples. If you already have the person you want to spend your life with, then this Christmas you can give her a carefully selected ring, whether it is a simple design or a more elaborate one full of character, it will be a gift that will last a lifetime.
Currently, the common styles of rings available in jewellery shops are everyday rings, single gemstone rings, stacking rings, birthstone rings, promise rings and statement rings. You can also use an engraving tool on the inside of the ring to engrave information such as birth date, last name initials, etc. to make your gift even more special.
Bracelets
Bracelets are accessories that wrap around our wrists and are a popular choice among jewellery lovers these days to add style to our attire. The best thing about bracelets is that they are suitable for a wide range of occasions, whether it’s an everyday outfit, a festive occasion worth celebrating, or a banquet with family and friends, a delicate bracelet will not look like you’re being very high-profile, but will also inadvertently accentuate your personal charm. You can layer multiple bracelets for a variety of different styles.
Customised Pendants
Customised jewellery is a service that has just been established in the jewellery industry in recent years. As modern people are increasingly pursuing personalised expression, the jewellery industry has introduced the concept of customised jewellery, where people can have special messages engraved on their jewellery to show their individuality. So, customised pendants also make great gifts. You can engrave the initials of your friends and family on the pendant or set a birthstone representing their birth month on the pendant and then gift it to them, which is a very personal and meaningful thing to do.
Pendants are available in round, teardrop and heart shapes, as well as a variety of engraving styles in different sizes and fonts, so there are endless options to meet diverse needs. Pendants can also be layered with other necklaces or worn with chains.
