With gift guides being delivered before Halloween these days, it can be overwhelming to choose the perfect gift. Leafing through endless pages of gift ideas, your mind quickly assesses each item for likelihood of use, practicality, quality, and the age-old question: do they already have something like this? 

As you start to ponder your holidays lists this season, we would like to propose one more question: 

Can you really gift jewelry to everyone on your list?

Let’s begin by debunking a common misconception: fine jewelry should be reserved for a significant other. Of course gifting a gorgeous pair of diamond dangle earrings or a radiant gemstone necklace is a romantic gesture. But jewelry conveys a myriad of other messages as well: you want to make them feel special, you took the time to select a unique piece just for them, you value them. 

Even your loved ones for whom you would not normally consider jewelry will be thrilled at the sentiment, and here’s why:


Jewelry Frames a Moment in Time

The holiday season is a magical time of year. Those you love are gathering from near and far to celebrate, and receiving a stunning gift will make the memories even more beautiful as the years go by. Consider presenting the gift at a special gathering, or hide it in an ordinary place in your home for them to find by surprise! 


Everlasting Quality

Family heirlooms are a beautiful tradition. Your story is our legacy: we want you to be able to enjoy your jewelry, and pass it on to the next generation, too. All of our diamond and gemstone jewelry is hand-selected by our GIA Graduate Gemologists, so you’ll be shopping for nothing but the best! And our in-house master goldsmith ensures that each piece is crafted to perfection.


It Can Be Worn Everyday

Practicality gets a point on this one: our jewelry is crafted with the utmost care and precision with the finest materials. When you receive a piece of jewelry, you should feel confident wearing it. Be sure to bring in your pieces every six months for a complimentary inspection and cleaning on the house to ensure longevity. 


Jewelry is a gift that will be appreciated this season and enduring for years to come! Now let’s take a look at jewelry gifts that shine as bright as your bond.
