Getting a piece of jewelry right depends on knowing the recipient's style. These ideas help you choose with confidence.

If you do not know the size #

Choose pieces that need no size: pendants, earrings, chains and adjustable bracelets. For a ring, see how to find the size.

By person #

  • Partner: a ring or pendant with meaning, a birthstone or a personalized piece.
  • Mother: classic earrings, a pendant with her children's initials or a bracelet.
  • Daughter or niece: a fine chain with a small silver pendant.
  • Friend: small earrings, hoops or a bracelet.

By occasion #

Birthdays, anniversaries, births and graduations usually call for small pieces with symbolic weight. For weddings, birthstones and engraved pieces are a good option.

Personalization and budget #

An engraving (initials, date) makes the gift unique, but it reduces the chance of exchange. Set a realistic budget and check the exchange policy.

Material #

If it is for daily wear, choose materials that do not tarnish. For special occasions, sterling silver or gold plating may be enough.
