Jewellery she can easily wear with her existing collection is a great place to start. Stud earrings, huggie hoops and everyday necklaces are versatile choices, while gemstone jewellery can add a more personal touch.

Start by looking at the jewellery she already wears. Notice whether she usually chooses gold or silver, earrings or necklaces, and simple designs or colourful gemstones. Choosing something that fits naturally with her existing style can make your gift feel much more personal.

For a birthday, you could choose a piece featuring her birthstone, a gemstone in her favourite colour or jewellery that complements pieces she already owns. Birthstone jewellery can be an especially thoughtful way to make a birthday gift feel personal.

Both make lovely gifts, so the best choice usually comes down to what she already wears. Choose sterling silver if she tends to wear cooler-toned jewellery, or 14ct gold vermeil if gold is more her style. Our gold vermeil is made with a thick layer of 14ct gold over sterling silver.
