The gift of jewellery is a priceless one. But getting the right piece can be problematic, especially as jewellery is often a personal choice. However, sometimes all you need is a little inspiration to spark an idea of what could just be the perfect present! Here we take you through some timeless classics and some more unconventional ideas.
Some might say that you can’t go wrong with a classic pair of diamond stud earrings. But these don’t need to be just plain brilliant rounds, you could halo the diamond with other diamonds, sapphires or rubies. Or you can try a different shape, like pear or princess cut, for a stylish alternative.
We know it’s winter and people start wearing jackets, but earrings can too! These versatile pieces fit either around a stud earring or through the post at the back of the ear to hang below the earlobe. They allow a plain pair of studs to be jazzed up for a night out without the need for a whole new pair of earrings. Using diamonds or coloured gems, or both, can make a real statement! An ideal gift so that a busy lady can go from the office to a night out with minimal fuss.
Sometimes, knowing exactly what present someone would like is tricky, especially if that person doesn’t really know themselves. The concept of just giving a stone means that they can decide how they would like that stone to be used, whether that be a pendant, ring or even a brooch. It allows you to then create something utterly personal, knowing that it’s exactly as the recipient would like.
There is a reason that single stone pendants and rings are so popular and it’s because of the flexibility they allow the wearer from outfit to outfit. There’s no worrying if that sapphire drop necklace with the elaborate gold work will go with that neckline or that collar, because the stones shine on their own. The only question here is the carat weight of the stone!
The tennis bracelet has long been associated with style and class and made famous by Chris Evert wearing the diamond accessory during her tennis matches. But it doesn’t need to be plain round brilliant diamonds, you can change the stone and shape to make something more unique. We’ve made tennis bracelets using baguette white diamonds and round black diamonds to switch things up, but equally, you could look at other coloured stones to add a bit of character,
If you really are at a loss for the perfect piece of jewellery, then there is another alternative. You can give the gift of a bespoke appointment with Sophie! You can agree the budget and parameters beforehand, and then just watch as the ideal gift is created for you and given in your name – how fabulous! Or, if you’ve seen an item but would like some assistance in knowing if you’re buying well, Sophie can offer a consultation call. The choice is yours.
From earrings to bracelets and everything in between – there is a range in what jewellery gift you could give. Ultimately, you know your loved one best and what might be the best way to proceed, but if Sophie can help you in navigating the problematic path of jewellery gifting, then do get in touch, we’d love to hear from you.
