Giving jewellery is giving an intention. Still, you have to get it right. Here are our pointers for choosing a handmade piece that will truly touch.
By occasion
For a wedding or an engagement, dare the full, generous set. For a grand occasion or a birthday, a beaded necklace or a pair of matching earrings marks the moment without excess. For a first gesture, a fine necklace or a delicate bracelet says the essential without overdoing it.
By person
Devotees of tradition will love gold-tone medallions; those who prefer more discreet pieces will choose a fine necklace or a beaded choker. Look at what the person already wears: warm or cool metals, statement or minimalist pieces. The right jewellery extends a style; it does not contradict it.
By budget
Handmade exists at every budget. A pair of earrings or a fine necklace makes a refined gift without breaking the bank; a matching set or a vermeil piece marks the grand occasions. The right measure is not the price on the tag but the rightness of the choice: better a sincere, well-chosen piece than a flashy one.
Understanding the materials
A gift is also chosen by its material. Gilding, vermeil, gold-filled: each has its own lifespan and use. If you are unsure, our guide to gold finishes will help you give jewellery that ages well.
