The holidays are in the air. Before you know it, lights will be hung, Christmas trees will be up, and the official holiday shopping season will begin. The time for giving will soon be here and you don’t want to be left in a total state of panic because you still have not ticked every one off your list.

Maybe you are looking to treat yourself (and why not?) or one of the dearest people on your Christmas list, a beautiful piece of original jewellery would make an ideal gift. And let’s face it, everyone deserves a little sparkle this Christmas.

I have compiled a great little Christmas gift guide to make your life that little bit easier this year.  From your sister, who you keep forgetting to call, to your favourite party girl, I have you covered.

So without further adieu here goes:

1.- Little Silver hoop earrings for the friend who has everything including your back:

Some friends are always there for you, aren’t they? The special ones who listen to you rant and give you that special hug just when you need it. For them, I suggest these little silver hoops that are a great everyday wear and a staple in every girl’s wardrobe. They are small and discreet, but the organic texture makes them unique and original. And because they are made in recycled sterling silver, they go with everything!

2.- A solid 9 carat gold ring for the luxury lover, that girl who always loves a boujie cocktail night out.

You and your friends love nothing more than a girl’s cocktail night out, those nights where you laugh till your sides hurt. And what goes great with a cocktail in hand? A gorgeous ring !

This solid 9 carat ring is made from recycled gold and, it is decorated tiny little dots scattered around it.

A ring that is skinny, delicate and is fantastic for stacking with other rings. It can be worn on any finger and looks great.

3.- Gold dangling earrings for the party girl, your mate who dances the night away.

Without a shadow of a doubt, Christmas is a festive season, one where we all love dressing up and having a little boogie. These statement gold long earrings are the perfect party earring as move with you while you dance.  Light and glamorous all at once.

Your party girl friend will love them! Made with recycled sterling silver that has three generous coats of 18 carat yellow gold plating. Each earring is hammered by hand to give them that gorgeous texture.

And look at those hooks! No mass-made hooks here; we make our own to make sure each pair of earrings look elevated and divine.

4.- For your lovely mum, who sends you cute cat memes in an attempt to get you to call her.

Mums deserve better at Christmas. All that gift shopping, decorating, cooking and keeping the peace during the festive season can take a toll. And let’s face it, you have been so busy this year, that you barely look at those kitten memes she keeps sending you. So why not treat her this Christmas? A warm and lush baroque pink fresh water pearl pendant necklace in gold, to reflect light to her face, is always a winner.

A pearl pendant like this is ideal for any mum. The pink makes it that little bit more special and the heavier belcher chain really does feel weight and luxurious.

5.- For the minimalist: a simple circle pendant in sterling silver

She is a no frills kind of girl, loves dressing in neutral colours and beautifully cut clothes.  We all have a friend like this. Some may love a 90s vibes; other might be creatives or work in a conservative field. The halo pendant necklace in sterling silver will work perfectly with everything they own. A simple circle shape that hangs from a chain, modern yet intricate.

Made with recycled sterling silver and delivered in our recycle-able packaging hits high on those ethical notes, too.

6.- For your sister, who is always there for you, even if you forget to call her: the double beaded silver chunky mini hoop earrings are a treat.

Isn’t nice to have a sister? So, you may fight and she might steal your favourite jumper without asking, but no one knows you better than her. Even though you might not talk everyday, you know you can always count on her. What better way to say I appreciate you, even if I don’t show it, than with these chunky silver hoop earrings?

These chubby silver hoop earrings sit close to the earlobe and gently hug them. They look fantastic when worn with other piercings and paired with our ear cuffs.

7.- In a rush or can’t decide? Our Militza Ortiz Jewellery gift card has you covered.

An e-gift card is ideal for those who prefer to choose for themselves or if you simply can’t decide what to give them.

Our e-gift cards are delivered directly to your inbox or to the person whom you are giving it to. You decide!
