What better way to show gratitude and love for the special people in your life than with a careful chosen piece of jewelry? Whether you’re celebrating with family or friends, here’s a guide to help you choose the perfect jewelry.
Consider the style
Be observant of the type of jewelry they normally wear, if they prefer gold or silver. Are their jewelry bold and making a statement or are they delicate and simple? If they are more into minimalistic, a simple pendant necklace or a pair of earrings would be perfect, but if they love to make a statement, consider a chunky bracelet or a diamond ring.
What about the meaning?
Keep in mind that Thanksgiving is all about gratitude and you will need to select a piece of jewelry that has a significant meaning. You can pick jewelry that has their birthstones or you can pick something that symbolizes love and strength, such as hearts, a thistle, infinity or tree of life.
Personalize it
Make it even more special by adding a personal touch, like a date, name or a message. A pendant with a special date or a necklace with the initial of a loved one can make a beautiful and cherished keepsake.
The occasion
For Thanksgiving, you can think of pieces that can be worn during the holiday season. For example, a classic pearl necklace or some delicate earrings can compliment festive attire, but if the person receiving the gift loves to entertain, you can think of an eye-catching necklace.
Quality first
When buying jewelry, check for hallmarks or stamps that indicate the metal’s purity, like 925 for sterling silver or 14K and 18K for gold. Regarding the gemstones, make sure they are properly sourced and certificated, making sure the jewelry will last for a long time.
Current trends
Considering current trends can help you a lot in choosing a gift that feels modern. We can tell you for sure that layered necklaces, mixed metal pieces and nature-inspired designs are trending, adding a contemporary touch to the jewelry. However, be sure that the person receiving the gift resonates with the trends or if they are more intrigued about vintage and old times.
Presentation matters
Choose a beautiful box or pouch that matches with the jewelry, or you can DIY one if you are a creative mind, that will add a personal touch. Consider also adding a handwritten note with the reason behind your choice and the gratitude you feel towards the person.
Plan ahead
Keep in mind that this time of the year is busier than the normal days, and you need to plan days or even weeks in advance if you want to find the perfect gift. And if you are following our tips, you will need to take your time and consider the fact that if you are ordering a custom piece, you will need to wait a little longer.
Think about your budget
Start with a budget and keep it that way, remember that the thoughtfulness of that gift matters more than its price tag. You can find the perfect piece at each price point, but you need to focus on the quality and significance of it.
Do they have any sensitivities?
Maybe you didn’t even think about this point, but some people can be allergic to some materials, causing irritation and making it impossible for them to wear it. That’s why you need to know these things and opt for hypoallergenic materials like sterling silver, platinum or gold. This thought can show that you have taken into consideration their well-being and comfort.
