Tis the Season for Artisan Made Jewellery

Don’t look now but it’s that time of year again. While it may seem that the retailers are rolling out the Christmas decorations earlier and earlier each year, chances are there’s at least one person on your shopping gift list for whom you need every extra second of buying time. There’s also a good chance that you’ll find exactly the right gift of artisan made jewellery for every hard-to-buy gift recipient on your Christmas wish list. Not sure what to buy? Here are some suggestions that just might please even the pickiest person on your gift list.

Gemstone Rings

Cocktail rings are the height of fashion this season, and you’ll find some stunning gemstone rings in cocktail settings that are sure to please. Look for birthstones in a variety of cuts and settings, or semiprecious stones in rings designed to fit an index finger or even a thumb. The only rule for cocktail gemstone rings this season is that there are no rules. Big and flashy is in, so go for the gusto.

Gemstone Pendants

Mix and match gemstone rings with gemstone pendants to create a distinctive set. One of the niftiest artisan made jewellery trends is to wear a pendant and ring with matching settings and different stones. It’s a charming, eclectic look that works beautifully with almost any style of dress.

Shoulder Duster Earrings

Got a free spirit on your gift list? Nothing pleases the Bohemian soul quite like a pair of long, dangly earrings. Shoulder duster earrings with tiny gemstones and crystals on silver chains never quite go out of style, and they’re back with a bang for the holiday season. They’re the perfect gift for the woman who has a free-wheeling, flirtatious spirit.

Bangle Bracelets

Ethnic jewelry is sure to please just about any woman on your gift list this holiday season, and nothing says ethnic quite the same way that bangle bracelets do. They’re available in a huge range of styles, colors and motifs, from thick cuffs engraved with tribal patterns to slender bangles meant to be worn in multiples.

Barrettes

Barrettes are not just for little girls. Big girls appreciate them, too. The right barrettes and hair jewelry can be the perfect finishing touch for any outfit. Shop around to find engraved, filigree or gemstone barrettes that will suit just about any woman’s style.

Artisan made jewellery is always a welcome gift. Distinctive, fresh and always up-to-date, it’s the ideal gift for even the hardest to please women on your gift list.
