Finding the perfect Christmas gift for her is rarely about choosing the biggest or most extravagant present. Often, the gifts that mean the most are those that feel as though they could only have been chosen for that particular person.
Jewellery lends itself beautifully to this. A necklace that complements something she already wears, earrings in her favourite colour or a diamond piece chosen to mark an important year can carry a meaning that lasts well beyond Christmas morning.
Whether you are shopping for your wife, girlfriend, partner, mum or daughter, here are some of our favourite ways to choose a jewellery gift that feels genuinely personal.
Start With the Jewellery She Already Loves
One of the easiest ways to choose jewellery for someone else is to look at what she reaches for most often.
Does she almost exclusively wear yellow gold? Are her favourite earrings small and understated, or does she prefer something with a little more character? Does she layer several necklaces together? Does her jewellery tend to be classic, colourful, contemporary or unusual?
Choosing something that works with pieces she already owns makes your gift much more likely to become part of her everyday jewellery collection.
For someone who loves warm yellow gold and diamonds, these 18ct yellow gold diamond huggie earrings are a beautiful example. Their curved design adds something a little different to classic diamond stud earrings, while remaining elegant enough to wear regularly.
Alternatively, for someone whose jewellery box is predominantly white gold, the White gold diamond bezel set earrings in a contemporary circular design.
Choose Something She Can Wear Every Day
Some of the best Christmas jewellery gifts are not reserved for special occasions.
A beautifully made necklace or pair of earrings that can be worn with everything from workwear to an evening outfit becomes part of someone's everyday style and, over time, becomes associated with the person who gave it to them.
Diamond stud earrings are a perfect example. Simple, timeless and incredibly versatile, they are one of those pieces that can stay in a jewellery collection for decades.
Our lab grown diamond earrings collection includes classic platinum and 18ct gold designs, including round brilliant cut diamond studs that offer plenty of sparkle without feeling overly formal.
For someone who prefers necklaces, a simple diamond pendant is equally easy to wear. Our lab grown diamond necklaces work beautifully worn alone but can also be layered with necklaces she already owns.
Mark a Memory or Milestone
Jewellery becomes particularly special when there is a story behind why it was chosen.
Christmas may coincide with a milestone birthday, a new home, an engagement, an anniversary, the arrival of a child or simply an important year you want to remember together.
Rather than choosing jewellery purely because it looks beautiful, think about what the design could represent.
The Avanti circle jewellery, for example, is an elegant design in its own right, but the two circles can also make it particularly meaningful for a partner, daughter or mum.
A piece like this gives you the opportunity to explain why you chose it when she opens it, which can make the gift feel far more personal.
Add Colour With a Favourite Gemstone
Not every special jewellery gift has to be centred around diamonds.
Colourful gemstone set jewellery is a wonderful way to choose something that feels more individual, particularly if you already know her favourite colour or gemstone.
Our jewellery designer and qualified gemmologist Zoë Kay Jones creates distinctive fine jewellery using beautiful coloured stones.
A coloured gemstone can also be chosen because it reminds you of somewhere, something or someone important. That connection is often what transforms a beautiful piece of jewellery into a meaningful Christmas present.
Choose a Diamond Necklace She Will Keep Forever
If you are looking for a Christmas jewellery gift that feels particularly significant, a classic diamond necklace is difficult to beat.
The beauty of a simple diamond pendant is its longevity. It does not rely heavily on a particular trend and can be worn at different stages of life, making it exactly the type of piece that could eventually become an heirloom.
Our collection includes both natural and lab grown diamond necklaces in yellow gold, white gold and platinum. One striking option is the 'Rosa' oval diamond necklace, which combines a classic oval cut with warm yellow gold.
For natural diamond jewellery, our diamond necklaces collection includes everything from simple pendants to more decorative and multi-stone designs.
Think Beyond This Christmas
When choosing fine jewellery as a Christmas gift, it can help to imagine the piece several years from now.
Will she still love the design? Can she wear it with other jewellery? Is it beautifully made? Could it become something she associates with a particular chapter of her life?
Jewellery has a wonderful ability to gather memories. The earrings worn to countless celebrations or the necklace that becomes part of someone's signature look can ultimately mean much more than the piece itself.
That is why we always recommend choosing jewellery for the person rather than simply choosing what feels most traditionally "Christmassy".
