Jewellery is one of the most affectionate gifts that you can get someone when it is Christmas. It is a great gift and shows that you care about them. There are many wonderful jewellery pieces out there that have some great designs as well. Picking amazing stocking fillers or one-off creations that will be a future heirloom.
Stocking Fillers
When talking about jewellery as a gift, people automatically assume that you will be spending a lot of money on it. However, there are many pieces in the world of fashion that are affordable. Layering jewellery is a fantastic way to add to your outfit. It can also be very cheap when buying multiple rings in a pack.
You can find many affordable jewellery pieces in high street stores. Some places will even sell them as a pack. For example, you would be able to buy a pack of rings together. Maybe an earring set with a chain. One thing that you make sure of is that the materials match. If they don’t then it can look odd.
Buying jewellery as a stocking filler sounds cheap as you won’t be spending much on it. But at the end of the day, it is only for a stocking filler. Nothing is stopping you from buying more expensive jewellery. Just remember that you can use that for the main present. Just make sure you buy jewellery that they commonly wear, and it is the right material. Some people like to wear silver jewellery but not gold and vice versa.
Colourful Jewellery
When it comes to buying jewellery for somebody else, it will be the safest option to just buy one solid material. However, if you feel confident and you fancy taking the risk of adding a bit of colour to it, do it. Make sure you find out what colours they prefer when it comes to wearing jewellery. Many wonderful gemstones come in a wide range of colours.
Gemstones are expensive when it comes to jewellery. It is going to be a gift for someone very close to you. It isn’t a piece of jewellery that you just buy for someone who is a friend that comes and goes. There are also cheap jewellery pieces out there that add a bit of colour as well. Again, shop around at the high street stores and see what they have available.
There are many prestigious brands out there that like to add a little bit of colour to their unique jewellery pieces. Suzanne Kalan, Patcharravipa, Carolina Bucci and Grainne Morton are some of the brands that get behind this colourful style. Vintage jewellery is your best bet when it comes to colourful jewellery. The best bit about it being vintage is that you are buying something second-hand. Meaning that you are doing your bit in saving the planet.
Investment Buys
This is when you are going to be spending a lot more money. We are talking several hundreds of pounds or even a couple of thousand. However, these are going to be from your designer brands such as Tiffany & Co, Boodles, Chanel Fine Jewellery and Dior. They have managed to make a name for themselves in the fashion industry.
Who knows, in years to come, these brands could stop making jewellery. They could also be even bigger than what they are now. Eventually, the jewellery piece that you have bought could go up in price. The reason for this is that they might not make it anymore. Just imagine buying a gift for someone that is not only valuable now but becomes even more valuable over time.
Vintage Jewellery
Vintage jewellery is arguably one of the most affectionate gifts that you can buy from someone close to you. The rarity of the jewellery piece alone is something that shows a lot of value. There are many vintage jewellery stores out there that will have jewellery that was made in the 1800s. The gemstones are not unique but you can almost guarantee that they are natural and that they are not created in a lab. They come in a variety of different styles as well.
From art-deco to Edwardian style jewellery pieces. Yes, you will get modern jewellery that is inspired by these wonderful pieces of craftsmanship. However, the ones that were created back in the 1800s/early 1900s is a great way to show the rarity and the value of the jewellery. From rings to necklaces to even broaches. There are many that you can choose from when it comes to buying a gift for that special someone.
To Conclude
There are many gifts out there that you can buy for that special person in your life. Whether it is for someone that you love or for a good friend of yours. Remember, the whole point of a gift is the thought process about it. Yes, the value of something can make the difference but in reality, it is down to the thought behind the present.
Think about it, many people will choose to buy alcohol or even a new perfume for somebody. They are easy go-to gifts. Get created and buy them something that has a little bit of meaning behind it. Show that you have put some thought behind the gift. That way, you give them a burst of happiness and they’ll always think of you when they wear it.
