Christmas Jewellery Gifts: Get it right every time

Wondering where to start with your Christmas jewellery gifts? Discover the secret to getting it right first time, every time, with expert advice on how to choose the right jewellery gift this Christmas...

Buying a Christmas jewellery gift - where to start?!

When buying Christmas jewellery gifts (or any jewellery gift) the best place to start is with the person you’re buying for. What are their interests? What style do they like?

If you don’t know their jewellery taste, what about their general fashion or design choices? Are they into the vintage look, or are they a lover of modern design? What colours do they like to wear or have around?

Once you have the answers to these and the following questions you should be well on your way to choosing the perfect Christmas jewellery gift.

What jewellery do they wear already?

If you can take note of the jewellery the person you’re buying for already has this will help A LOT with your choosing. Try to get a sneak peak in their jewellery box. Or pay close attention to what they’re wearing. When doing your research, try to notice if they tend to wear silver or gold, or both. Perhaps they even prefer rose gold?

See if you can find out too, if they love a particular brand, like Swarovski. Or if they have an existing collection that you can add to. Many people collect the latest charms from brands like Thomas Sabo or Nomination and there are always new charms to choose from. Each of these brands brings out new collections each season, which gives you endless future gift ideas!

What type of jewellery should I choose?

Once you have some of the answers to the above you will be well on your way to finding the perfect gift. However, then comes the task of choosing what type of jewellery to buy. Do you choose earrings? A bracelet? Or even a ring?

Again, the right choice really depends on the person you’re buying for. Do they have pierced ears, for instance? Are they more likely to be seen wearing necklaces or bracelets? Do they love to stack their gold chains, or wear multiple rings at once? 

As a general rule, necklaces, bracelets and earrings are easier to buy. But if you’re thinking about buying a ring, you will almost certainly need to know a ring size. There are some amazing rings to choose from in our collection. To ensure a perfect fit, however, look at one they already own so you can match the size for the piece you choose.

Christmas jewellery gift suggestions for all the special people in your life

Now that you (hopefully!) have some of the answers to the above you should be able to narrow down your choice of gift. We’ve made it even easier by adding Christmas Gift Guides on our website. Plus you can filter by brand, type of jewellery and more. But if you need more inspiration, we've pulled out a few of our favourites below. 

Christmas jewellery gifts for him

What do you gift the man who has everything? Jewellery might be the answer. There may be less choice when it comes to men’s jewellery but that doesn’t mean you can’t give a piece that’s personal to you and the man you’re giving it to.

One gift option which is sure to impress, for instance, is a watch. We have a large selection available from Bering, Calvin Klein, Kamawatch and Thomas Sabo. They range from the vintage classics to modern digital designs. The right one for you will depend on who you’re buying for, but we love this Bering Men’s Solar Polished Silver watch.

We love the stylish, minimal design, chunky dial and the fact it’s solar powered, so no need for nasty batteries.

If a watch is too much, take a look at our men’s bracelet range from Unique & Co. They have a whole selection of designs in leather. Or more classic stainless steel chunky chains, in matte and polished versions.

And if you like your gifts to have meaning, why not invest in a Nomination starter charm bracelet? Add a few charms that are meaningful to your intended recipient and away you go. Then add to it with each new special occasion. This will give you plenty of future gift options.
