The Jewelry Gift Guide
Jewelry makes a lasting gift when it suits the person and fits well. Start with what they already wear—gold or silver, dainty or bold—and choose a piece that sits comfortably in that style.
Gifts by budget
- Under $50: gold hoops or a dainty chain bracelet for everyday layering.
- $500–$1,500: lab-grown diamond studs or a diamond pendant necklace.
- Milestone gifts: a tennis bracelet or a solitaire ring.
Getting the size right
Rings need a size, so borrow a ring they already wear on the right finger to check. Bracelets are easier: most fit average wrists, and some are adjustable.
Timing and returns
Order well ahead of birthdays and holidays, especially for made-to-order pieces, and read the retailer's exchange policy in case the size or style needs changing.
