What is the symbolism behind this unique gift?
Jewellery is the perfect symbolic gift as it is given at particular milestones in someone's life. Take, for example a graduation, engagement, wedding or even a birth; jewellery is given on all these occasions. There will always be a story behind the jewellery that is gifted.
Whether you are looking for a present for a woman or a gift for a man: your gift's deeper meaning will always exceed the nominal value!
Do you consider the emotional value to be more important than the price tag? Have a gold bracelet engraved for your daughter, or have jewellery tailor made. One of the most symbolic bracelets is undoubtedly the gold bracelet worn by the Dutch Queen Maxima with five precious stones in various colours, one for each family member.

Jewellery has powers of persuasion
Being high in value, diamond jewellery often has immense powers of persuasion. You're showing the person close to your heart that you want to invest in them. It shows you love someone deeply and will do anything for them.
Indisputably, the loveliest, and most symbolic, present a woman will receive in her life is the diamond engagement ring she receives upon being proposed to. The engagement ring may underscore the man's love for her, but its real purpose is to convince her to marry him.
Jewellery uniquely expresses your love
Jewellery tells loving stories. For example, the round circle of your wedding ring represents your enduring love for one another. Besides, diamonds are indestructible. By giving diamond jewellery you are saying your relationship is equally indestructible.
Your jewellery doesn't have to be old to be associated with an exceptional story. The story of how the love blossomed between you and your partner; what can beat that? A diamond engagement ring symbolises the bond with your loved one like no other.

Are you already engaged, or married even, and about to celebrate a wedding anniversary? If so, an eternity ring is a fantastic way to enshrine your enduring love for one another, with diamonds that are set all the way around the ring.
But, it's not just the love between two partners that deserves jewellery. Your relationship with your mother, best friend or sister is wonderfully embodied by a Toi et Moi ring. The two precious stones could, for example, be your birth stones, for an extra personal touch.
When is jewellery an appropriate gift?
In days gone by, buying jewellery was more a past-time for the wealthy. They wore jewellery to show off their lineage and affluence. Similarly, for a long time, wearing jewellery was considered more of a feminine thing. Something that has changed drastically in recent decades. Men are equally delighted with a jewellery gift or a watch.
Diamond jewellery is no longer solely a woman's remit
Because buying diamond jewellery has become far more accessible to everyone nowadays, it's a fantastic gift to give on numerous occasions. Take for example, women's jewellery on Valentine's Day, at Christmas or on Mother's Day. Or, spoil your father with a watch on Father's Day . There is always something to choose from the extensive jewellery range, whatever your budget or relationship with the person whom the gift is intended for, By giving jewellery you are demonstrating your love for someone close to your heart, and that will most certainly be appreciated.
When should I start giving my partner jewellery?
You show you love your partner every day, of course. But Valentine's Day requires a special gift. Such as heart shaped diamond jewellery or a pink diamond for an extra touch of romance. Heart shaped earrings are a lovely gift too, one that will always fit the bill.
There is no greater show of your love than on your wedding day of course. In the presence of family and friends you slip a gold ring on each other's fingers as a symbol of your everlasting love. A diamond wedding ring is also a popular, stunning choice.

Giving jewellery on Valentine's Day
Giving a woman jewellery on Valentine's Day is a fantastic way of showing your love for her. The jewellery doesn’t have to be over the top; simple and elegant will suffice. Take for example a necklace with a heartshaped pendant. Or, heart earrings will be perfect too.
Engagement jewellery gifts
In line with most traditions, a man will gift a ring to the woman upon their engagement. But that's not to say women can't spoil their men too. For example, with a stunning watch or a pair of cufflinks.
Has your daughter got engaged? If so, you could give her a pair of diamond earrings to complement her bridal jewellery.

Giving jewellery for a wedding
Naturally, the bride and groom will receive countless gifts on their wedding day, but jewellery can be a gorgeous addition with special meaning. Take for example a bracelet or sapphire necklace that she can wear with her other bridal jewellery, or a stunning tie pin for the groom.
Ideally, give your gift ahead of time, so she can wear it on the big day. You could also contribute towards the wedding rings with a gift voucher.

Giving jewellery to celebrate a birthday
Giving jewellery as a birthday gift is a great idea as the possibilities are seemingly endless. Take for example trendy stackable rings, or a set of bracelets. Simply match the jewellery to the recipient's style, to increase the likelihood of her wearing your jewellery gift day in, day out.
A watch for a man is an exceptionally classic gift. Does he set a lot of store in pure craftsmanship and expertise? If so, choose a mechanical watch. Or, would he prefer something more for everyday wear? If so, a quartz watch is the way to go.

Giving jewellery on Mother's Day or Father's Day
Mother's Day and Father's Day are the ideal occasion to show your love for your parents with diamond jewellery. But what to choose?
For Mother's Day we recommend a personal touch. Take, for example, an engraved bracelet or a Toi et Moi ring, set with your birthstones.
Delight your father with a stunning watch or a manlyring with black diamonds.

Giving jewellery for a Communion or Spring Festival
A Communion is the perfect occasion to give a pair of earrings. Indeed, most girls get their ears pierced around this time. Why not go for small gold cross earrings, to stick with the Communion theme. Doesn't she have pierced ears? You could always opt for a diamond bracelet, with perhaps a quote engraving. Or, a necklace for a Spring Festival, if she prefers that to a bracelet.
Giving jewellery to family at Christmas or New Year
Jewellery is a sparkling gift to give at Christmas or New Year. The type and style of jewellery you buy will depend on the recipient, of course.
So, you could buy your niece a set of stackable rings to match her bracelet collection, for example. And for your grandmother it could be a necklace set with different diamonds, whereby each diamond represents a grandchild.

Giving jewellery upon becoming a godmother or godfather
Your godchild will always be able to appreciate your jewellery keepsake, given as their godmother of godfather.
A necklace with a locket is a great idea. You could pop a photo of the child inside the locket. Or, you could have a bracelet or watch engraved with your godchild's date of birth.

Giving jewellery upon graduation
A ring is a perfect graduation gift. We have heard of the so-called ‘graduation ring’ or ‘class ring’, mainly from American films, but it is a genuine tradition. Usually, the graduation year is crafted into this ring, which is worn by both girls and boys.
The graduation ring is an American tradition that exists to this day
Are you looking to give a truly unique, personal gift that tells more than words could ever say? Thrill your wife, daughter ...., for example, with a necklace with a diamond name pendant. The diamond symbolises eternal love and friendship. Where the precious stones form her name, you are tacitly expressing your undying love for her.
Design your own jewellery
Would you like something more personal? If so, have tailor made jewellery made, drawing on your unique emotions and ideas. Jewellery that tells its own complete story, how symbolic is that? Either have existing jewellery tweaked or make your own unique design. This would make for a fabulous wedding anniversary gift too
Have your jewellery engraved
There's nothing so personal as having jewellery engraved. The possibilities when it comes to engraving men and women's jewellery are considerable. Think, for example, of a ring, bracelet or watch. Anything with a flat surface can be engraved.
Many people opt for a date, such as a date of birth or wedding date, but you could also add your own text, motto or quote. Just as long as it bears special significance to you or the person you are giving it to.

Giving jewellery set with her birthstone
Another option is to have a unique precious stone set into jewellery. Did you know, in fact, that each month is linked to a birthstone, to which holy properties are attributed?
Such as a ruby: a symbol of prosperity, abiding love, loyalty and commitment, as well as the birthstone for July.
Or, otherwise you could go for sapphire, of course. As the birthstone for September this precious stone guarantees a trouble-free life. Those with a sapphire will tread in the footsteps of many famous people who wore a sapphire ring. People such as Lady Di, later Kate Middleton, and Empress Joséphine of France.

Which new gift-giving traditions have we noticed?
One immediate striking fact is that we mainly give gifts at anticipated times. Many people have those dates they must remember, such as wedding anniversaries, clearly marked on the calendar. Wish lists are used a great deal, to avoid turning up with the 'wrong' present.
Yet during prosperous times we have observed a number of novel, altruistic gift-giving traditions appear. No doubt at some point you have also received a request via Facebook from someone whose birthday it is asking you to donate an amount to a non-profit organisation. In psychology, this is described as the 'helper's high'.
Another new gift-giving tradition that has wended its way across the Pond is a push present. The new father gives a gift to the woman who brought his child into the world as a token of his love for them both. So, it is actually a congratulatory gift for the mother after each childbirth.

Popular gifts are gold diamond earrings or stackable rings, whereby one is added for every birth. A special gift for your partner is jewellery with the birth stones of the baby, mother and the father. Like this satellite bracelet, for example.

Determining the right size
To ensure you don't have to resize your jewellery later, it is important to determine the right size at the outset. This is certainly a must when it comes to rings and bracelets.
One quick way is to measure a ring or bracelet she already wears, or to take it to the jeweller to have it measured. Don't have anything to hand to measure? You could always use a ring sizer.
