There are plenty of great holiday gifts like fancy chocolates and the latest iPhone, but few things are as special as gifted jewelry. It’s elegant. It can be sexy. And, maybe most importantly, it will always be sentimental.
If I’m being gifted jewelry, then I’m praying that it lasts and speaks to my personal style. If you’re on the gifting end, what’s most important is buying quality pieces. Not all jewelry is going to withstand the test of time (as in being worn for mere weeks before going green), so it’s important to look for metals that won’t tarnish like stainless steel, gold, silver, platinum, and rhodium.
Now for the hard part of gifting jewelry: It has to complement the style and personality of whoever you’re gifting it to. If you’re unsure or not confident in your understanding of style, timeless designs can complement just about anyone’s closet.
This is also a great opportunity to spend your money intentionally, as many of these jewelry gifts for just about anyone, whether they like dainty necklaces, signet rings, or waist bands.
