Our Favorite Western-Made Jewelry to Gift Your Loved Ones This Holiday Season

It may seem difficult to gift a piece of jewelry to a loved one. Are they more of a silver or gold fan? Do they prefer dangling earrings versus studs? What is their ring size? However, this process does need to be daunting. What really matters when it comes to picking jewelry is the thought that you put into selecting a timeless piece to add to someone’s collection—that will definitely not go unnoticed.

Take note of colors they wear often or simple pieces they never take off, then choose something to complement that! If they have a long chain that they never take off, get them a shorter one to add some shine to their neck. Are they always wearing an assortment of earrings on an ear with multiple piercings? They could probably benefit from a new pair of studs. With our selection of timeless pieces made by Western designers, you’ll be sure to bring a smile to the face of any lucky recipient with simple, personal pieces, and gemstones made to last.

If you have a friend who never leaves the house without earrings or a statement necklace help them store their pieces with a ceramic jewelry holder. Have a friend who’s always snapping pictures of a beautiful sunset? Gift them a one-of-a-kind pair of earrings from California jewelry maker Clouds and Ladders, whose collection is inspired by West Coast beach views. Show anyone with their ears pierced that you notice the little things with a set of studs with their birthstone for an added pop of color and a personal touch.

Giving the gift of timeless jewelry is how you start the line of family heirlooms. A personalized symbol ring with peace signs, hearts, moons, and more set in 18-karat yellow gold is something that can be passed down from generation to generation. So, consider the gift that keeps on giving with a simple stacking ring, set of studs, or a customized necklace.
