When it comes to gifting, nothing quite provides the same amount of sparkly joy as a piece of jewellery. Buy right, and it’s an investment that can last a lifetime.
Jewellery offers a personalised touch and often is the gift that keeps on giving, serving as a reminder of a specific person or event. But with so much to choose from, it can be a tricky task picking the perfect item, particularly when there’s a budget to stick to.
Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but that doesn’t mean you need to give them in order to make jewellery a worthwhile gift. And we’re here to prove that by providing you with a selection of some of our favourite items that cost less than £100.
When shopping for someone else, we’d recommend bearing in mind their taste – do they wear gold, silver or rose gold? Have they already curated the perfect ear stack? Perhaps they favour a more understated approach, or prefer something super maximalist? Nailing this initial criteria will mean that your gift will be worn with pride, rather than ending up collecting dust in the back of their jewellery box.
In terms of trends, chunky chains, hoop earrings, initialised pendants and pearls are just some of the styles making waves right now. But to prevent you from scrolling endlessly or finding yourself overwhelmed by the plethora of options on offer, we've put together a carefully curated guide to do the heavy lifting for you.
How we tested
In order to make the cut, we paid close attention to the quality of each piece as well as the packaging, so if sending directly to a friend or loved one this gifting season, you know it’ll arrive safely and in the perfect packaging. You’re sure to dazzle your recipient with one of these finds – trust us when we say that these pieces are worth more than their weight in gold.
