Choosing jewellery as a gift: a short guide

Choosing jewellery as a gift: a short guide

Tiffany Wijepala

Jewellery is one of the few gifts that is worn for years. A little planning makes it easier to choose well.

Start with what they already wear

Look at the metal colour of the pieces they wear most, yellow, white or rose gold, and at whether they prefer small everyday pieces or something bolder.

Pick the type of piece

Earrings and pendants don't need a size, so they're the safest surprise. Rings need a size. If you're not sure, choose the closest size: we contact you after purchase to confirm it, and any charge for extra gold is agreed before resizing.

Choose a stone with meaning

A birthstone, a favourite colour or the stone from a special trip all make a piece more personal. Sapphires come in many colours, not only blue.

Make it yours

If nothing in the collection feels right, we can design a piece around a stone, a sketch or a photo.

Browse earrings, pendants and rings, or book a 30-minute consultation online or at our Colombo showroom.
