The Jewelry Gift Guide

By occasion

Birthday

Choose something personal: a birthstone, an initial, or a piece that matches the jewelry they already love. See A guide to birthstones.

Anniversary

An anniversary piece is often worn daily: a band, a pendant or earrings with meaning. Read The anniversary jewelry guide.

Engagement

For the engagement itself, start with The Engagement Ring Guide. For a gift to an engaged couple, earrings or a pendant are easier to choose than rings.

Wedding

Traditional wedding gifts include pieces worn on the day. Keep the style consistent with the rest of the jewelry the person will wear.

Graduation

A first fine piece: sterling silver or gold, designed to last beyond the moment.

Just because

The most personal gifts are often the least expected. Choose something they would wear without an occasion.

By recipient

  • For her: earrings and pendants are easy choices; for rings, confirm the size first.
  • For him: a signet ring, a chain or a simple band. Read What is a signet ring?.
  • For a partner: pieces that can be worn together, or a shared detail.
  • For yourself: choose what you would want to wear for years.

By budget

Set a budget before you browse. When our collections open, you will be able to explore pieces by price range. For exceptional gifts, a private enquiry is often the best starting point.

Practicalities

Frequently asked questions

What is the safest jewelry gift if I'm unsure?

Stud earrings or a simple pendant are easy to wear and avoid sizing. Choose the metal colour the person already wears.

Is jewelry a good anniversary gift?

It often is, because it can be worn every day as a reminder of the moment. Read our anniversary guide for ideas.

Should I include a gift receipt?

If exchanges are possible for the recipient, it is thoughtful to include one. Our terms will be published before orders open.
