A piece of jewellery is one of those gifts that always brings joy: it lasts for years, is worn often and reminds her of the giver each time. But you still have to choose the right one. Here is our advice for finding the perfect piece to slip under the tree, stress-free and without getting it wrong.
1. Look at what she already wears
The best clue is the jewellery she wears every day. Does she prefer gold-tone or silver-tone? Fine, discreet pieces, or jewellery that stands out? Does she stack bracelets, or is she content with a single necklace? These details tell you everything about her style. If you are unsure about the colour, our article on gold or silver according to complexion will help you decide.
2. The necklace: the gift that never gets it wrong
No size to know, no risk: the necklace is the safest gift. A fine chain with a small pendant suits those who like discretion; a link necklace or a long necklace will appeal more to those who like jewellery that gets noticed. Tip: a fine necklace is easy to layer with the ones she already owns. Discover our necklaces and long necklaces.
3. Earrings: instant sparkle
Gold-tone hoop earrings light up a face in a second. Small hoops are worn every day, while thicker or twisted styles make an impact for the festive season. Just check that she has pierced ears! See our earrings.
4. The bracelet or bangle: a gift that layers
A bangle or an open cuff fits most wrists, which avoids the size headache. And if she already wears bracelets, yours will add to her stack. Our tips on layering your jewellery will give you ideas for combinations. Discover our bracelets and bangles.
5. The ring: choose an adjustable one
The ring is the trickiest gift, because of the size. The solution: go for an adjustable style, or a set of fine stackable rings that can be worn on different fingers. See our rings.
6. Think about the material
For a piece she will really wear every day, stainless steel is an excellent choice: it does not rust, does not tarnish, is water-resistant and suits most sensitive skin. She can keep it on her wrist or around her neck without a second thought.
