Jewellery means love, sentimentality and connection

We only want the best gifts for those people in our lives that we consider special. For a gift-to-remember, why not go for some high-quality jewellery?

Jewellery is a thoughtful gift. It’s all about love, sentimentality and connection. Think about it. Do you think people look at toasters with the same fondness that they look at a stunning bracelet years after they have received it as a gift? We think not.

If you do decide to go for jewellery as a gift for that special lady in your life, don’t just settle for the run-of-the-mill stuff. Go for world-renowned brands such as Al Coro, Annamaria Cammilli,, Damiani, Mikimoto, Mimi, Nanis and Vhernier.

These first-rate brands boast the craftsmanship of the best and most-skilled artisans in the world. Whether you are looking for a dainty pearl necklace, stud earrings, a cool pendant or a sparkling diamond ring, you can be sure that you will only find items of the highest quality and design.

If you decide to go for diamond jewellery, make sure you keep the Four Cs - colour, clarity, cut and carat – in mind. These characteristics determine the way diamonds look and their price as well.

Envelope the gift in some lovely wrapping paper… and watch their eyes shine and their face light up when they open their gift and realise how much they mean to you.

Like jewellery, a watch is a great investment, as they are made to last for years and often increase in price as the years go by, so there is that added value as well.

No matter the taste or style of your gift recipient, you are bound to find something that will make her happy. Think of the person before you buy the gift. Watches come in all different shapes and sizes. A good indicator is to look at the jewellery she wears. If she goes for minimalism in her necklaces, rings, earrings and bracelets, the likelihood is that she would prefer a dainty, tradition timepiece rather than a large colourful one, for instance.

Also think whether the watch will be worn every day or just on special occasions. If she is a habitual watch-wearer, you may want to think of something a bit more durable.

As always, always go for high-quality. With brands such as Longines, Montblanc, Breguet, Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Chaumet, Zenith, OMEGA, Maurice Lacroix, Piaget and Rado, you can’t go wrong.

Pens might be the perfect idea

With so many different gadgets which can do our writing for us, penmanship is sadly becoming a lost art.  However, if the woman in your life still enjoys sending hand-written letters, or has a job which requires her to use a pen, then why not gift her something which is useful and thoughtful at the same time?

To make it even more special and unique, you can even get it engraved.

Q & A

What is the best gift for a woman?

Whether it’s your wife, girlfriend, fiancée, mother, sister, best friend or daughter you are getting a gift for, the most important thing to remember is that everyone is unique and has different tastes, so it is important to keep that in mind.

However, some gifts are appreciated by pretty much anyone. Who would say know to some diamond jewellery for example? And the good thing is that when you are talking about jewellery, it comes in so many shapes, sizes and style that, no matter their taste, you’re sure to find something they like. Whether they like the classic examples or have more punk-rock leanings, you will still find something that they will like!

The same goes for watches… you will find every kind on the market from more traditional ladies’ timepieces to watches that are really avant garde and modern.

A nice stylish pen is also a good idea, for example, for a graduation or anniversary present.

What to get the woman who has everything?

Unless the person is a millionairess and/or Dolly Parton, there is always something that they don’t have. On this case, we suggest something unique and special, like an engraved bracelet, watch or pen. They are sure to be happy with the thought that has gone into gifting them something that nobody else will have.

What to get a woman who wants nothing?

This is a tricky question but it does happen. It usually goes like this: “Darling / Mum / Grandma, what do you want for your birthday / anniversary / Mother’s Day / Christmas?” “Oh nothing, dear, just spend the money on yourself,” This is a ‘trap’. Although they think they don’t want anything (and most times, they are being actually genuine), their heart will sink a little if their special day arrives and they realise that you took their word for it.

Take our word for it. Get them something. As we note above, jewellery, watches and pens are usually a safe bet. Good luck!
