There aren’t many girls with an aversion to jewellery – whether you love elegant and classic barely-there simplicity, or prefer to carry around your body weight in chunky chains à la Mr.T, every piece worn is a statement about yourself, your style and your individualism. Jewellery, unsurprisingly, is one of the most popular Christmas gift ideas, but finding the right piece can became a task in itself. Here are some fail-safe options that make perfect last-minute gifts this Christmas.
The custom-made initial necklace is personal, simple and most importantly timeless. From Carrie Bradshaw’s famous ‘Carrie’ necklace, to Kate Middleton’s engraved Prince George pendant, the A-List has a long history of championing this super stylish form of nametag. Maya Brenner is the go-to when it comes to cute and quirky letter necklaces, and her asymmetrical 14k gold letter and number necklaces can be personalised with extra letters as well as adjusted in length.
For that friend that prefers leather to lace, try Alexander McQueen’s current collection of rock-chic pendants, available from Farfetch.com – from piercing sparkly skulls to gold razor blades, they’re the perfect gift for younger generations, as well as the young at heart.
For ageless elegance, a vintage Chanel pendant will never be out of fashion. The legendary Chanel logo dangling from a solid gold chain will instantly turn even the plainest of outfits into a fabulous fashion statement.
For seasonal sentiment, moons and stars exemplify Christmas spirit, but can still be worn throughout the year. This oversized Diane Kordas diamond star is sold as a single piece, and is perfect for sparkling your way through the party season, while these Roberto Cavalli ‘Lucky’ earrings are sure to have the office in envy of your lunar-leaning ear candy.
If you’re looking for a unique diamond piece, the Shaun Lean for Asprey Storm Suite is opulent, extravagant and in every sense of the word, dazzling. Each piece is an alluring mix of gold and diamonds, inspired by “the elemental strength, drama and beauty” of a storm. The Storm Necklace features a complex vortex of 457 individual diamonds that gracefully swirl to encompass a central diamond, creating the eye of the storm – and a gift that’s sure to make you popular this Christmas.
