The Holiday Gift Guide
The most memorable gifts are the ones chosen with someone in mind. A gemstone does that beautifully: a colour, a meaning, a small piece of the earth that feels made for one person.

A jewel is a gift that stays. Long after the wrapping is gone, it is still there: on a hand reaching for a cup of coffee, at the neckline of a favourite dress, in a box opened on another birthday years from now.
Here is how to choose one with confidence, whatever your budget and however well you know her size.
Choose by colour
Start with the colours she already loves. Look at her wardrobe, her home, the flowers she buys.
- For the romantic: soft violet amethyst or pink rose quartz.
- For the free spirit: opal, with every colour of the rainbow in a single stone.
- For the classicist: deep red garnet or the rich green of emerald.
- For the sun-lover: golden citrine or bright peridot.
- For the one who loves the night: the blue-violet of tanzanite.
Choose by meaning
A birthstone turns a beautiful piece into a personal one. January is garnet, February amethyst, August peridot, October opal, November citrine, December tanzanite. Our Birthstones by Month guide covers all twelve.
Or choose a stone for what it has long symbolised: emerald for good fortune and love, citrine for prosperity, amethyst for calm, opal for hope and creativity.
Choose by budget
Thoughtful gifts under $200. A gemstone ring, a pendant or a pair of studs is an easy and beloved choice: the Four-Petal Amethyst Ring, the Golden Sun Citrine Ring or the Sun & Moon Citrine Pendant. Add one of our bead chains to a pendant for a complete look.
Treasured gifts from $200 to $350. Pieces with more stones, more detail and more presence: the Royal Crest Amethyst Ring, the Peridot Halo Tennis Bracelet or the Opal Garden Cuff Bracelet.
Statement gifts. For a milestone, choose a piece designed to be the centre of attention, such as the Golden Lotus Citrine Necklace.
When you don't know her size
Earrings, pendants and bracelets need no size at all. Most of our rings have an open band that adjusts to fit US sizes 4 to 9. Choose your best guess at checkout and we will pre-set the band before it ships; she can fine-tune it gently at home. Our How to Find Your Ring Size at Home guide has a few discreet tricks.
