How to Choose Jewellery for Gifting: Tips for Every Occasion

Finding the perfect jewellery gift can feel like diving into a glittery rabbit hole. So. Many. Options. But don’t worry, we’ve got your back. Jewellery is personal, timeless, and shows you care, so it’s always a winning gift. Whether you’re shopping for a birthday, anniversary, or just to say, “You’re awesome,” here’s your no-stress guide to picking a piece that’ll have them smiling (and sparkling).

Step 1: Know Their Vibe

First things first: what’s their style? Are they all about bold, edgy pieces, or do they lean more toward minimal, dainty designs? Are they into statement jewellery, or is their motto “less is more”? Peek at their current collection, it’s like cracking their jewellery code.

Pro Tip: When in doubt, play it safe with classics. Think simple stud earrings or a delicate pendant necklace. These pieces never go out of style, and everyone loves them.

Step 2: Match the Bling to the Occasion

Some occasions call for extra sparkle, while others are all about understated elegance. Here’s how to nail it:

• Birthdays: Whether it’s a milestone or just another year of fabulousness, go bold! Statement hoops or a standout ring scream “It’s your day to shine.”

• Anniversaries: Make it meaningful. A heart-shaped pendant or a piece featuring their birthstone is romantic without being over the top.

• Graduations: Celebrate their achievement with something special, like a pendant necklace or chunky ring that feels as big as the milestone itself.

• Mother’s Day: Thank her for her superhero status with something timeless and chic, our Mother of Pearl collection is a fan fave.

• Valentine’s Day: Go full-on hearts and love vibes with our Daryl Collection, think heart-shaped necklaces and rings to show your affection (subtle or not-so-subtle).

Step 3: Go for Versatility

Let’s be real, jewellery that works for both brunch dates and fancy evenings is the cherry on top. Look for multi-wear options like interchangeable pendants, sleek earrings, or versatile necklaces. They’ll thank you every time they style it.

Step 4: Add a Personal Touch

Make it extra special with a personal touch, engrave their initials, a memorable date, or even a cheeky inside joke. It’s those little details that make the biggest impact. Or just keep it simple: wrap it up with a recyclable ribbon, toss in a heartfelt note, and boom, gift-giving perfection!

Step 5: Quality Over Quantity

Jewellery gifts should last, so skip the flimsy stuff. Go for high-quality materials like sterling silver or gold. Bonus points for sustainability. Our collection, for example, is all about recycled and eco-friendly bling. It’s gorgeous and guilt-free.

Step 6: Think About Their Lifestyle

Is the person on-the-go 24/7? Keep it simple with studs or a sleek chain necklace. Are they a “go big or go home” type? Opt for bold earrings or chunky rings that bring the drama.

Step 7: Packaging Perfection

Presentation matters, people! A beautifully packaged piece takes the gift from great to WOW. At Under Her Eyes, we use elegant, recyclable packaging that’s as thoughtful as the jewellery itself.

Final Tip: Don’t Overthink It!

Picking jewellery doesn’t have to be stressful. Focus on what they love, the occasion, and the quality of the piece. You’ll nail it and they’ll adore it. And if you’re still unsure, browse our collection for versatile, stylish, and sustainable options. Problem solved.
