The Art of Gifting Jewellery: A Simple Guide to Getting It Right

There’s something unforgettable about receiving jewellery — not just the sparkle, but the thought behind it. A well-chosen piece says I know you, I see you, and I chose this for you. Here’s a simple guide to choosing jewellery that feels personal, wears beautifully, and becomes a keepsake.

1) Know Their Style

2) Choose Meaningful Motifs

Equestrian motifs carry stories and symbolism:

3) Pick the Right Metal

  • Sterling Silver (925): Bright, versatile, perfect for daily wear.
  • 9ct Gold: Warm, durable, and heirloom-worthy in Yellow, Rose, or White.

Tip: Match metal to their existing jewellery for an effortless fit.

4) Sizing Made Easy

  • Necklaces: 45 cm (18") suits most. For layering, add a chain in 50 cm (20").
  • Bracelets & Bangles: Opt for our standard sizes or contact us for guidance.
  • Rings: Borrow a ring they wear on the same finger or request sizing help from our team.

5) Personal Touches

  • Build a necklace: Choose a pendant, then add a chain to create the finished piece.
  • Meaningful pairing: Match a stirrup pendant with a bangle for a complete look.
  • Gift notes & packaging: Every piece arrives beautifully presented and ready to gift.

6) Budget That Still Feels Luxurious

Choose one beautifully crafted piece that suits their style. Sterling silver offers exceptional value; gold elevates the moment. Either way, craftsmanship matters more than size.

7) Care That Keeps It Sparkling

  • Put jewellery on last; avoid lotions and perfumes.
  • Remove before swimming, exercising, or hot pools.
  • Wipe with a soft cloth after wear and store pieces separately.
