Jewelry is a gift your partner will never grow tired of receiving. Mainly because gifting jewelry requires thoughtfulness. You can’t just gift them the first gold bracelet or pair of diamond earrings served to you on Instagram. You, obviously, need to take into account the types of pieces they already own. Do they have a preference for gold or silver jewelry? Statement or subtle pieces? Did they mention a piece of jewelry they were thinking of buying themselves? Are you now realizing this was actually a subtle hint for you to buy it for them?

Now take all that information to a reputable jewelry retailer or to make it easier on yourself, take a look at the list below where we’ve rounded up an array of glistening pieces for every type of jewelry wearer that you can gift this holiday season.

I’ve been eyeing a signet ring for a long time, and can’t stop thinking about this dainty, pinky ring version from Catbird. It’s made from 100% recycled solid 14k yellow gold and can be engraved completely free of charge.

‘Tis the season for sparkly jewelry, after all. These glitzy earrings are set with pear-shaped white sapphire for the perfect touch of sparkle.

Charms are trending this season. The dainty yet meaningful trinkets make for lovely gifts that can be stacked onto her existing necklace chains or added to a chain bracelet. This sweet charm is available in 100% recycled 14k gold or sterling silver, and can be engraved for an extra special touch.

A slim chain bracelet set with a smattering of lab-grown diamonds.

Add a little chunk to her stocking. Mejuri’s stackable hoops make a statement on their own or paired with her favorite earrings.

A wavy, bubbly take on the classic letter pendant. 

Handcrafted in 14k solid gold with bezel-set lab-grown diamonds, this finger charm is blinding — in the best way.

Sure, nameplate necklaces are all the rage — but what about a bracelet with her moniker? This easily stackable, slim bracelet is made from 14k solid gold and can be customized in six different languages.

I wore these ethereal Kara Yoo drop earrings to a wedding recently, and they were a hit!

Designed in collaboration with celebrity stylist Kate Young, this green onyx gemstone piece is a colorful, bold spin on the classic tennis necklace.

I love rings that don’t look like rings. For example, I cherish this belt buckle ring I bought myself on Etsy a few months ago. This fishbone ring shares a similar vibe. It’s set with a salt and pepper triangle diamond and baguette-cut diamonds. Perfect for the diamond-loving pescatarian in your life.

Take her everyday hoop to the next level with this pair of bold, 14k solid gold earrings. Each oval hoop features a .25 carat Lozenge Vrai created diamond. 

With a yin and yang style silhouette, this uniquely uneven ring stack represents “bold irregularity.”

If you’re feeling generous this holiday season, I’d go with this five and a half carat diamond tennis necklace.

And how about a matching tennis bracelet to boot?
