A Sparkly and Eco-Friendly Holiday Season: Our Ethical Jewellery Gift Guide
The holidays are on the horizon, and that means the season for proposing and buying gifts for your loved ones will soon be in full swing. Finding a meaningful Christmas gift is well worth the effort, so rather than a gift that they’ll forget in a year, a timeless and sustainable piece of jewellery will be remembered and treasured for years to come. From delicate pendants and gemstone stacking rings, to conflict-free diamonds and simple and elegant bands, our ethically-sourced and locally-produced jewellery gift guide will give you all the holiday jewellery inspiration you need this season!
Depending on their character, style, favourite colour, if they like a bold look or rather a discreet look; many elements must be taken into account before even embarking on the search for that special piece. First and foremost, here are a few questions to ask yourself to help you find the perfect gift for that special person in your life:
Do they often change their jewellery?
Yes? Good news, you have so many possibilities! If they change their rings every day, you can easily choose one to complete their collection.
No? If they never take off their favourite necklace, this is the perfect opportunity to get them a matching ring or even a matching pendant.
Do they wear gold or silver jewellery?
If they prefer white gold or silver, choose a fine piece of the same type instead so that they can pair it with their other pieces, and vice-versa.
Pro Tip: For anyone who has cooler skin tones, Platinum, White Gold and Silver jewellery is the most natural choice. For those with warmer skin tones, gold jewellery should be the way you go.
Do they wear jewellery with gemstones?
Yes? Great! You can opt for something fun and unique, like our coloured stacking rings.
No? Choose a simple piece, without a stone, with a discreet opal stone or even crystal quartz.
Last but not least: Who will you be gifting to?
For a Friend

If you're looking for a personalized gift for a gem of a friend, a sweet gem-inspired birthstone ring is a sentimental alternative that’ll make them feel extra special. Birthstone jewellery adds a personal touch to your gift, as it carries special meaning that represents the wearer. It is even said that wearing one’s birthstone is thought to bring good luck, good health and protection. So whether you may believe in the symbolism of birthstones or not, we can’t deny that these sparkly gems are irresistible.
