Only here for the holidays

The best jewelry for a Christmas gift is one that suits the recipient’s style. Here are some ideas for choosing a perfect jewelry gift.

First, set your budget. Then think about what you know about the way the recipient lives and how they dress:

• Minimalist jewelry gifts: If their home and wardrobe are filled with neutral colors and quality basics, look for bar necklaces and bracelets, paperclip chains, dainty pendants, solitaire gemstone jewelry and stud or huggie hoop earrings.

• Boho jewelry gifts: For the creative free spirits in your life, shop stackable rings and earrings, layered necklaces and bracelets, pendants inspired by nature, designs with multicolored gemstones and favorites like opals, moonstones and turquoise.

• Classic jewelry gifts: If their go-to look is preppy, consider pearls (stud earrings, a single-strand necklace, or a simple bracelet), a monogrammed signet ring, initial jewelry, a classic watch with a leather strap, or a tennis bracelet.

• Streetwear jewelry gifts: If their look is big, bold and expressive, check out Cuban, rope or curb chains, iced-out pendants and rings, dog tags, large hoop earrings, jewelry customized with their names and initials and oversized watches.

• Athleisure jewelry gifts: Whether they live the athletic or leisure life — or a blend of both — they’ll appreciate low-maintenance, low-profile jewelry in lasting materials like stainless steel and gold vermeil. Think stud or huggie earrings, ID bracelets, low-profile rings and chains, tennis bracelets and necklaces, and dive watches.

The best jewelry gift ideas are thoughtful or meaningful pieces that show you know the recipient.

To choose the perfect jewelry for someone you care about, answer these questions:

• What kind of jewelry do they wear? Are their ears pierced? Do they wear necklaces and rings? What about bracelets or watches? Do they have favorite metals or gemstones?

• When do they wear jewelry? Do they put it on for special occasions or always have it on?

• Why do they wear jewelry? Do their pieces mark milestones? Show off their favorite colors? Express their personal style? Feature names, initials or other personalization?

If you don’t know, try asking a friend or family member who knows your gift recipient well.

Your budget plus the answers to these questions about your recipient’s jewelry preferences will help you choose a piece they’ll love to wear.

How much you spend on a Christmas jewelry gift is a personal decision — there’s no universally recommended price.

Start by setting a comfortable holiday gift budget for yourself and search using Helzberg’s price filters to stay in your range.

We offer a variety of fine jewelry gifts in a range of prices, from under $250, $500 and $1,000.

Even if you don’t know someone’s style or size, you can still choose a meaningful, personal gift of jewelry.

Here are some tips for making a thoughtful jewelry gift choice:

• Look for timeless one-size-fits-all jewelry like simple necklaces with long chains, classic watches or bracelets with adjustable bands, or stud earrings.

• Give a personalized jewelry gift by including their initial, monogram, name, zodiac sign or birthstone, or choose charms that reflect their interests.

• If the recipient has limited hand dexterity, arthritis, or visual impairments, look for easy-to-wear jewelry. This includes alternative clasps or clasp-free designs, over-the-head necklaces (24” or longer), cuff or bolo bracelets, and open rings. 

Jewelry makes a great stocking stuffer because it’s small, personal, and easy to give. And Helzberg offers a wide selection of ready-to-gift jewelry at accessible prices.
