How to Choose Jewellery for Gifting: Tips for Every Occasion

Finding the perfect jewellery gift can feel like a daunting task – so many styles, metals and stones to choose from! But don’t worry - we’ve got your back. Jewellery is personal, timeless and one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give. Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary or just because, here’s your go-to guide to picking jewellery that’ll make them smile (and sparkle).  

Know Their Style 

Start by thinking about the person you’re gifting to. Are they bold and adventurous or minimalist and classic? Do they love statement pieces or delicate designs? Pay attention to what they already wear – that’s your best clue. Pro Tip: If you’re unsure, opt for timeless designs like stud earrings or a simple pendant necklace. These pieces are universally loved and easy to wear. 

Consider the Occasion

The type of jewellery you can choose should match the event: 

Birthday Jewellery Gift: Milestone birthday or otherwise, make it one to remember. Statement pieces are the best here, such as our eye-catching hoop earrings. They will make you feel like it’s your birthday everyday.

Anniversary Jewellery Gift: Look for something symbolic, like a heart shaped pendant, or choose jewellery that features the stone associated with the year of your anniversary. 

Graduation Jewellery Gift: Mark the milestone with a piece that feels celebratory, like a pendant necklace or a statement chunky ring. 

Mother's Day Jewellery Gift: What a better way to say thank you for all the amazing work our mothers do, then with our Mother of Pearl collection.

Valentine’s Day Jewellery Gift: Consider our Daryl Collection - heart shaped rings and necklaces to show your affection. 

Keep Versatility in Mind

Jewellery that can be styled for different occasions is a fantastic gift. Think multi wear earrings, necklaces with interchangeable pendants, or pieces that transition effortlessly from day to night. 

Add a personal touch

Customising your jewellery gift can make it extra special. Consider engraving their initials, an important date or a meaningful word. It’s a small detail that creates a big impact.

Quality over Quantity

When it comes to gifting, quality matters. Opt for materials that are long-lasting, like gold or sterling silver. Pieces made from recycled and sustainable materials, like those in our collection are a bonus – they’re not only beautiful but also kind to the planet.

Think about their lifestyle 

Are you gifting the piece to someone who’s always on the go? Go for practical, durable jewellery like stud earrings or a simple chain necklace. If they love dressing up, a pair of statement earrings or a chunky ring could be just the thing.

Packaging makes a difference

Don’t overlook the presentation! A beautifully packages piece can make the gist feel even more special. At Under Her Eyes, we use recycled and recyclable materials for all our packaging – it’s elegant, sustainable and ready to impress.

Jewellery gifting doesn’t have to be stressful. Focus on their personality, the occasion, and the quality of the piece, and you’re sure to find something they’ll cherish forever.
