LOU JEWELS gift guide: jewellery for birthdays, engagements, new babies and Christmas

Gift guide: jewellery for every occasion

Jewellery is one of the few gifts that is passed down through generations. But choosing the right piece is not always easy. Here are a few ideas for life’s most important moments — and the questions to ask before you decide.

Birthdays

Delicate diamond studs or a necklace with an initial are safe choices: they can be worn every day and suit any style. An initial or a coloured stone makes the gift more personal.

Engagements

The engagement ring is the most symbolic piece of all. Before choosing, think about the type of diamond (natural or lab-grown), the shape of the stone and the style of the person who will wear it — classic, modern or with a coloured stone.

Weddings and anniversaries

Beyond wedding bands, an anniversary is the perfect occasion for a bracelet or necklace to wear every day. Timeless pieces work better than passing trends.

New babies and christenings

A delicate bracelet, or a piece designed to be kept and worn later in life, is a meaningful gift — jewellery that tells a story from day one.

Christmas and special dates

Pearls, earrings with movement or a coloured-stone ring are elegant ways to surprise. If in doubt, choose a versatile piece that works both day and night.

Before you buy: three questions

  • Which metal do they usually wear? Notice whether they prefer yellow, white or rose gold.
  • What is their ring size? For a ring, it is the most important detail — if you are not sure, ask us for help.
  • What is your budget? A lab-grown diamond gives you a larger stone for the same price.
