I’m trying to get to the smaller brand and more niche gift ideas as we head towards December. As every woman loves to receive something in a small package under the tree I thought I would get going with the jewellery gift list. I’d also say this is something to show your loved ones if they are looking for ideas as to what YOU would like for Christmas…
SMALL JEWELLERY BRANDS
There are so many great small jewellery companies out there to look at when you’re searching for gifts, either for yourself or for someone else. I’m sure I have forgotten so many, but here are ten of my favourites. I think I have pieces from every one of these brands and they are all unique and individual.
- Louise Wade 3D Swallow earrings
- Talis Chains Have a Nice Day necklace
- Zara Tahir Amethyst Love Ring
- Wilson Jewellery Daisy Cluster Ring
- Kirstie LeMarque Diamond Chunky Lock Necklace
- Loel Large Gold Tassel Earrings
- Tanicia Hayton Queenie Citrine Ring
- Louise Sinclair Diamond Mushroom Pendant Necklace
- Katie Mullally Double Coin US/ UK Necklace
- Emma Holland Gold Chain Bracelet
VINTAGE JEWELLERY
I love love vintage jewellery. There’s something so appealing about wearing a piece that has a history. I like to think about the people who may have owned it in the past. My favourites are usually Victorian, because that’s the period of history I’d love to time travel to, if time travel were a thing. I have a small collection of gold mens watch chains that have been made into necklaces and a mans ring from 1860 (because my fingers are more manly than feminine). I picture a dapper moustached gentlemen who wore these before me. Here are 11 vintage ‘dealers’ I recommend…
- Heart & Serpent Original Victorian silver ‘KATE’ Ring
- Sheffield Goldsmiths 4 vintage 9ct gold charms
- Dangle The Carat 9ct gold mini hoops
- Trouvai rose gold Fox charm
- Bettys Ring Box Gold Hematite Intaglio Signet Ring
- LOUP Jewels Peridot and diamond daisy cluster ring
- Verno Jewellery Victorian pearl arrow necklace
- Gold Digger MCR 18ct solid heart pendant
- Sobelle Jewellery Antique 9ct Gold & Emerald Paste Ring
