Christmas is right around the corner and depending on what happens next we could be looking at another lockdown or at least a socially-distanced holiday. But whatever happens you might be looking for something special that won’t break the bank. Jewellery and accessories are the perfect answer as they indicate thoughtfulness and will last a long time if looked after.
Precious Metals and Gemstones
Most intricate jewellery is made from precious metals or precious gemstones. Gold, silver and platinum are standard for modern-day pieces. These metals are typically accompanied by stones like diamond and ruby. Whatever the piece, the most beautiful designs work best when paired correctly. For example, a stunning and deep sapphire ring is best offset by understated white gold. As with pairing anything, the trick is to let each material complement each other rather than one overpowering the other.
Pandora Charm Bracelets
Pandora jewellery is of exceptional quality for a high street retail chain. One of the flagship products, the charm bracelet, is desired because you can add charms. Charms are small trinkets that usually signify something like a heart for Valentine’s Day. Because of this, charms are highly collectable, and prices range from relatively cheap into the hundreds. But because each charm means something, they are gifts that keep giving as they make the perfect gift for someone who enjoys their designs and wants to create a unique collection.
Designer Watches
You might think designer watches are expensive and therefore out of your price range as a Xmas gift. While watch prices can reach astronomical proportions, you can pick up quality designs for less than the price of a new pair of shoes. Of course, Rolex and Patek Phillipe are out of most people’s price range. Still, Amazon and other online retailers offer Armani, Tommy Hilfiger, and Michael Kors watches at reasonable prices. These watches aren’t part of any exceptional range and won’t appreciate in value, but they are beautiful gifts for almost anyone.
Meaningful Jewellery
There is an endless number of jewellery designs from which you can choose. Yet, there are also some exceptional designs with meaning. Irish Claddagh rings are a good example, as are birthstone rings. Further to the design, the metals and stones hold special meaning. Jewellery like this makes fantastic gifts for someone as they are more personalized than standard designs. Of course, you can also purchase jewellery with religious significance such as a silver and gold crucifix for Catholics, gold Star of David for the Jewish or Islamic MashAllah praise earrings.
Trending Fragrance
Not actual jewellery, yet an excellent accompanying gift is fragrances. Fragrances are highly collectable, and trends increased over the festive period. Delicate perfumes make beautiful gifts with rings and necklaces for loved ones. And a musky scent with a designer watch will put a smile on the face of most men. Fragrances can become expensive, yet some of the most popular include Chanel No.5 and J’Adore by Christain Dior. However, at the moment, the highest trending designer fragrance for young women is Good Girl by Carolina Herrera and Tom Ford Noir for the guys.
