The Top Reasons to Gift Jewellery at Christmas | Nomination Jewellery

Christmas will always be my favourite time of the year, the food, family and lovely spirit in the air. But my favourite thing about the season is gift giving. There's nothing like receiving a gift, regardless of whether it is expected or not, large or small, or needed or not. A beautifully wrapped package is always so exciting to receive. It doesn't have to be the world's most expensive handbag just to earn their excitement. In fact, perhaps what gets people so excited is the mystery of what's inside. The idea of being thought of and remembered, or the fact that you are about to get something that could potentially make you very happy.

Jewellery is one of the most common forms of gifts since the beginning of time. Women (and men) have always enjoyed adorning themselves with stunning jewels, and since these precious items can cost quite the pretty penny, they have become a way of expressing how important someone is to you. I have been lucky enough to be able to pick out some lovely Christmas gifts for my mum from the Nomination Jewellery store recently. I chose a beautiful composable bracelet similar to the one I have and a necklace and pair of earrings from the Winterland Collection. I am honestly so excited to give these to my mum on Christmas Day and see how happy they make her.

Putting that reason aside though, why else does jewellery make such a great gift? I am going to list 5 of the top reasons why giving jewellery is a good gift.

  

1. JEWELLERY IS A WEARABLE ITEM/GIFT THAT IS ALSO SENTIMENTAL.

Practically anything can be given as a gift, even a hoover if you wrap it up right! ;) If it is needed, wanted, or will make someone happy, it is a great gift, whatever it may be. That being said, there are definitely some gifts that are more sentimental than others. Wearable items such as clothing, shoes, hats, and coats may make great gifts but they are not very meaningful. There is just something unique about jewellery that makes it sentimental. Maybe it’s because some jewellery pieces represent very special periods in people’s lives such as engagements, weddings, births, and graduations. It could also be that due to their higher prices, jewellery takes a great deal of time and effort to buy in order to ensure that the receiver is happy. One thing is for certain is jewellery is a wearable item that is not just useful and pretty, but sentimental as well.

2. JEWELLERY CAN BE TIMELESS.

If you think about gifts you have received over the years, try to think about which gifts are still in use. I know the amount of gifts I’ve got sitting at the back of my draws even though I know the sentiment was there when it was given to me! Even those that are still being used are either fairly new or on their last leg. Clothing fades, rips, gets stained, and goes out of style. Electronics gets replaced by something newer and better before you even fully got to enjoy it. Even cars are on a timer from the day they are bought till the day they start showing signs of growing old. Only jewellery can be cared for and enjoyed for generations. There are endless classic jewellery styles that ensure your piece will never become irrelevant, and even in case it does, settings can always be changed and upgraded.

3. JEWELLERY IS A GIFT NOW, AND AN HEIRLOOM LATER.

There's nothing better than knowing that a gift is yours and all yours when you first receive it. But after you have tired of it or it has served its purpose, it is truly sad to simply discard it or find it a better home. Jewellery, as we already mentioned, can be worn for decades, but even when not in use can be easily stored due to its small size and passed down to the next generation as a useful and meaningful heirloom. Not to mention, depending on the piece it can retain or even increase in value. Keep all your jewellery pieces to invest in later years, think Antiques Roadshow style!

4. JEWELLERY CAN BE GIVEN TO PEOPLE OF ALL AGES.

One of the hardest things about gift shopping is finding something suitable for each age group, and then running from one store to the next. With jewellery, all ages are relevant. From a little baby to an older person, jewellery appeals to every generation. Think cute studs or bracelets for the little ones, a pendant necklace for the teenagers, an assortment of options for young and middle-aged adults, and large statement rings for the older years. When you gift jewellery, you take care of all ages with one gift idea, and possibly just one place to buy it.

5. JEWELLERY CAN BE PERSONALISED.

Though most jewellery gifts already have a certain amount of sentiment automatically embedded in them, jewellery pieces can also have the option to personalise them. Nomination bracelets are made in such a way that you can add charms, letters and links that add personal sentiment. From inscribed names and messages to pieces boasting one's name, initials, or first letters, personalised jewellery is always a huge hit.

It’s obvious that jewellery is one of the most popular gift ideas of all times, but for those still umming and ahhing, never forget that the options are endless. One can never really have enough and almost no one lives long enough to own the many different desirable looks that are out there. Diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, pearls, gold, platinum, and silver galore; there’s endless possibilities! And trust me on this one, you will be stunned to see what a pleased response you'll get when a beautiful piece of jewellery is gifted.

What are you getting for your loved ones this Christmas?
