Finding the perfect Christmas gift can be a real headache. But jewelry is a pleasant surprise, provided it suits the recipient’s taste. And then, after the festive period, the watch or other piece of jewelry received can be proudly displayed as a trophy of love, family or spouse.
Choosing jewelry for a lady.
Whether you’re a woman or a man, when you have to decide what type of jewelry to give a woman, you’ll need to examine or identify the style of piece she already wears or would like to own: luxury or classic watch, necklace, bracelet, ring, earrings… Variety and quality quickly make even the most ardent of wishes indecisive.
If you opt for a watch, the brands and prices are disconcertingly variable. It would be in good taste not to get lost in the choice. Offering Louis Vuitton’s“Tambour Bijou Secret Pierre Dures” at 18,000 euros – a sublimely elegant piece in fact: white gold, pink mother-of-pearl, diamonds – or the Seiko women’s gold bracelet at 249 euros doesn’t have the same impact in terms of misjudgment, although jewelers can take the piece back if need be.

Don’t forget that jewelry is a mark of individuation, and we like to think that its rarity works in our favor through its originality. The gift must please and enhance her, match her personality and harmonize her figure. With determination, we can unearth (supposedly) rare pieces such as the Ladies Jewelry watch by Guess or the round Jacques Lemans ladies’ watch with mother-of-pearl back. The abundance of original watches from all brands is sure to contain the “watch” for this lady…

Personalizing jewelry gives it intimacy.
To personalize your gift and give it a unique character, you can find jewelry that can be customized. This involves engraving the jewel, bracelet, chain bracelet, necklace or pendant with the first name(s) or even a loving message: the result is a truly unique piece of jewelry. A fine white gold necklace with the first name Isabelle in gold letters can delicately win over the best of feelings. For watches, it’s more difficult, but the different watch models offer a wide choice (supra).
Jewelry for men.
There are some jewels in men’s jewelry that win consensus. Bracelets, curbets and watches are always appreciated by men. Depending on your budget, you’ll discover such marvels as the Michel Herbelin “Newport Yacht Club” Quartz watch, 100m water resistance, leather, a masculine, elegant and powerful machine, more for the well-to-do. Or the Seiko men’s watch in black carbon titanium steel, more affordable and just as well equipped.

Cufflinks, chains and bracelets are all classics, but with his first name engraved on them, they’ll provide the decisive reaction needed to win him over. When it comes to faith, offering a piece of jewelry with a religious theme can also delight your loved one. A chain with a cross, or a medal embossed with a saint, or with Buddhist or Muslim symbols, will delight the recipient.
