1. Pavé Diamond Pendant Necklaces

A pavé diamond necklace is always an excellent holiday gift choice. It’s chic and sparkling, yet understated enough to be worn every day. It can also be styled alone or layered with other pieces. A pavé diamond necklace is a gift they can enjoy wearing again and again. 

Our favorite pavé diamond necklaces this holiday season are our interlocking pendant necklaces. These elegant necklaces come in a range of shapes and tones, allowing you to easily pick out a piece that suits your taste. Your options include interlocking ovals, rectangles, circles, or hearts, all available in your choice of 14 karat yellow gold, white gold, or rose gold. 

2. Pandora Jewelry

Brighten up their holiday season with a sparkling piece from Pandora. Famous for their personalized jewelry and beautifully detailed charms, Pandora has a bevy of customizable designs for you to select from. 

If the recipient is new to Pandora, you can’t go wrong with one of the brand’s iconic sterling silver charm bracelet sets. One of our top picks this season is their Celestial Bleu Charm Bracelet Set. This stellar set comes complete with the Pandora Moments Asymmetric Star Clasp Snake Chain Bracelet, a Star & Crescent Moon Charm, and a Galaxy Blue & Star Murano Charm. 

3. Paper Clip Collection Jewelry

The Paper Clip Collection is an exploration of one of the year’s best jewelry trends. Featuring stylish elongated chain links and playful pavé paper clip motifs, this collection is a winner if you’re shopping for someone who likes to make a splash with their accessories. 

For a statement piece that will make heads turn, opt for the collection’s whimsical Paper Clip Open Hoop Earrings. For a more wearable take on paper clip jewelry, choose the easy-to-layer Elongated Open Link Pavé Diamond Necklace. 

4. Diamond Stud Earrings 

If you’re looking for a jewelry gift they’re sure to adore, wrap up a pair of diamond stud earrings. Diamond stud earrings are gorgeous and truly timeless. They’re an evergreen gift option that they’ll love wearing now and for many years to come. 

There are many diamond studs for you to choose from this year, but halo diamond earrings are at the top of our list. This exceptional style of earrings features artfully arranged clusters of diamonds that create seamless brilliance. The beautiful halo setting on each stud adds even more shimmer, creating a wonderfully glamorous effect. 

5. Birthstone Stackable Rings 

Mixable rings are always on our best sellers list— and for good reason. They’re luxurious, colorful, and so easy to personalize. They’re also specifically designed to be mixed and matched, allowing the wearer to switch up their style with ease. 

If you’re unsure which stackable ring to choose, consider selecting one with their birthstone. You could also choose a style that features their favorite color, like a blue sapphire or a blue topaz ring for a fan of all things blue. When in doubt, you can’t go wrong with any of our alternating gemstone and diamond rings, which offer both bright shimmer and lush color. 

6. INOX Jewelry For Men

If you’re on the hunt for the best jewelry gift for men, look no further than INOX Jewelry. Known for their durable and inventive modern designs, INOX has an excellent selection of stylish stainless steel jewelry for you to choose from.

At the moment, we’re particularly partial to INOX’s attractive, on-trend Cuban link pieces. Their Steel Miami Cuban Chain Necklace is a fantastic option for casual wear, while their Steel Diamond Miami Cuban Chain Bracelet is perfect for adding an elevated touch to streetwear. 

7. Le Vian Jewelry

As always, Le Vian has a stunning selection of Chocolate Diamond and Vanilla Diamond jewelry this holiday season. This year, they also have a particularly breathtaking array of gemstone styles for you to choose from, including some especially eye-catching Neopolitan Opal designs. 

Which stunning piece from Le Vian would be your perfect holiday gift? If you’re looking for something more traditional, you can’t go wrong with one of their Honey Gold and Nude Diamond designs. If you’re searching for something a bit more unique, consider one of their magical Neopolitan Opal and Strawberry Gold pieces. 

8. V-Shaped Rings 

On top of being beautiful, v-shaped rings are quite versatile. This elegant ring style looks as good on its own as it does with other rings. The arch of a v-shaped ring also makes wearing it alongside rings with large focal points, such as engagement rings or signet rings, a breeze. 

One of our favorite v-shaped rings is the round diamond and 14k yellow gold design featured above. This ring has a classic design but features a slightly more elongated v-shape than most other rings in the category. This extra depth helps this ring play very well with others, making it an exceptional fine jewelry gift for someone who loves a good ring stack. 

9. Lafonn Jewelry

If you want plenty of sparkle, but don’t want to break the bank, a piece by Lafonn is the perfect gift option for you. Lafonn specializes in creating high-quality simulated diamond jewelry. Their pieces are all crafted with their signature simulated diamonds and set in sterling silver bonded with platinum. 

If you’re shopping for someone with a more classic sense of style, we love Lafonn’s simulated diamond bangle. For someone who wants to stand out and shine this holiday party season, consider Lafonn’s simulated emerald cut diamond drop earrings. 

10. Lab-Grown Diamond Jewelry 

There’s a lot to love about lab-grown diamond jewelry. It’s just as durable and beautiful as natural diamond jewelry since lab-grown diamonds have the exact same physical, chemical, and optical properties as natural. Yet, lab-grown diamonds don’t need to be mined and cost a fraction of the price of natural diamonds. 

There are many lab-grown diamond pieces for you to choose from, but we have a few top picks we can recommend. If you’re in the market for an engagement ring, now is the perfect time to get a great price on a lab-grown diamond engagement ring. If you’re not prepping for a proposal, a lab-grown diamond solitaire pendant necklace is a classic gift that anyone would be thrilled to unwrap.
