The hard part of buying jewellery as a gift is not choosing a piece, it is knowing what level of gift is appropriate. Here is how it usually breaks down, with pieces to match.

Order by 11 December for Christmas delivery.

For a wife

This is where a statement piece makes sense, and where tennis bracelets and initial jewellery do well because they read as deliberate rather than generic.

Diamond Initial Necklace — $945
Single Diamond Bezel Bracelet — $1,015
Sapphire Bezel Set Tennis Bracelet — $2,290
Classic Diamond Tennis Bracelet — $3,156

For a girlfriend

Early in a relationship, jewellery that isn't a ring avoids sending a bigger signal than you intend. Studs, huggies and delicate pendants are the safe ground.

For a mother

Birthstone and initial pieces work particularly well here, since they can reference children and grandchildren.

For a daughter or sister

Smaller, wearable, and ideally her first real gold rather than another plated piece that fails by spring.

Diamond and Sapphire Evil Eye Studs — $470
Pearl Necklace — $529
Birthstone and Initial Open Ring — $555
Mini Illusion Baguette Studs — $565

Two rules that save most gifts

Avoid rings unless you know the size. Earrings, pendants and bracelets fit everyone. If you must buy a ring, pick solid gold so it can be resized.

Match what she already wears. Look at her existing jewellery: if it's all yellow gold, don't buy white. Colour preference is far stronger than style preference, and every piece here comes in yellow, white or rose.
