When making your holiday gifting list and checking it twice, you might delay tackling the more daunting presents — jewellery often being one of the main offenders. But we’re here to show you that gifting a touch of sparkle doesn’t have to blow your holiday budget.
Few things are more special than seeing your recipient’s face light up with joy. Jewellery is the kind of universal gift that shows you’ve truly considered their taste and personality — a piece they’ll wear often and perhaps think of you each time they do.
Naturally, this can amp up the pressure when it comes to choosing the perfect piece. That’s why we’ve sifted through the internet’s sparkliest corners for the very best jewellery gifts at every price point, from big-name faves to cult indie brands. Expect to find this season’s most popular jewellery trends, from mermaid-inspired pearl and shell designs to bold bangle bracelets and chunky silver pendants.
Secure a holiday gift they’ll treasure forever. Scroll on for our top picks, starting from under £10 and up to £500.

Missoma x Harris Reed In Good Hands Drop Pendant Necklace, £198
This clasped hands design takes inspiration from Georgian jewellery, symbolising the bonds of love, while the malachite gemstone they hold is believed to offer healing and protection. Look closer, and you’ll uncover intricate details: the cuffs are adorned with tiny white pearls, one hand wears a white malachite ring, and the circlet they hold is delicately woven. To top it all off, the rope chain is finished with its own butterfly charm.

Being the person to gift that extra special, sparkly joy, of course. After all, jewellery is the kind of gift that tells someone you’ve really thought about their taste and personality, and that you’ve chosen a gift you hope they will wear often (and maybe even think of you each time they put it on).
Naturally, this can amp up the pressure when it comes to choosing the right piece of jewellery. That’s why we’ve scoured the internet for the very best jewellery gifts at every price point, from big-name faves to cult indie brands, including all the most popular jewellery trends like dainty chains, statement pendant necklaces, birthstone gems, personalised initials and chunky resin rings. Plus, plenty of heart-shaped pieces for all you romantics out there. All you need to get started is a clear idea of who you’re buying for and their preferences. Do they like silver, gold or rose gold? Do they wear rings? Do they have their ears pierced? How do they feel about pendants? You get the picture.
Once you’ve answered these questions, use this guide as inspiration to secure a Valentine’s Day gift that they will treasure forever. Scroll on for our top picks, from under £10 up to £200.
