The Essential Holiday Jewellery Gift Guide 2024

You’ve strung up fairy lights, you’ve put up a tree and lit the candelabra. Now, there’s just one thing missing to start the silly season: presents!

Fine jewellery, such as lab grown diamond pendants and engagement rings, is a popular gift, but choosing the right piece can be a challenge, especially if you want to keep your holiday gift a surprise.

Here at Cullen Jewellery , we love to see our clients’ loved ones delighted with thoughtful gifts. We’re here to help you find the perfect piece.

How to Choose Jewellery for a Gift

There are three key questions you should ask yourself before buying jewellery as a gift.

1. Do they prefer gold or silvery tones ?

2. Do they favour bold or minimalist designs?

3. Do they have any allergies to precious metals?

You can consult friends and family for advice on the first two questions, or think about their sense of style and the jewellery they currently wear. A little bit of “research” will help narrow down your options and lead you toward the piece that they will truly love.

For the third question, it pays to play it safe and opt for high-quality hypoallergenic 18K gold or platinum for those who like cool silvery hues.

Christmas Stocking Fillers: Lab Grown Diamond Pendants

Lab grown diamond and moissanite pendants are perfect gifts for everyone from friends, siblings, mums, aunties, and our significant other.

Dainty and sparkly, you can select their favourite diamond shape set in gold or platinum and sneak the box into their Christmas stocking.

Not sure whether they own a suitable necklace to go with their pendant? Pick up a high-quality fashion necklace to complete the look.

A Memorable Gift: Lab Diamond and Moissanite Tennis Bracelets

A string of sparkling gemstones really makes a statement, so if you’re looking for a memorable gift for your special person, then a tennis bracelet is the perfect choice.

Lab diamond and moissanite tennis bracelets , like our Amaris tennis bracelet with 2.4mm round lab diamonds in a round bezel setting, make for foolproof gifts. These sparkling bracelets are jewellery box staples that never go out of style.

The holiday season is by far busiest time of year for proposals, with Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, and New Year being the most popular dates.

Ready-to-Ship engagement rings come with free express shipping and one complimentary resize service within the first 12 months of receiving your ring - meaning you can pop the question and sort out the ring size later.
