What Are The Jewels To Give As A Gift On Special Occasions?

by Eric Jan seo

Jewelry given as a gift traditionally accompanies the most significant moments of our lives, and especially when it comes to weddings, engagements or anniversaries. A piece of jewelry given as a gift lasts a lifetime, and can be passed on as an heirloom, providing future generations with a family treasure to cherish. Having jewelry created especially for the occasion is the most personal gift there is. In addition, jewelry is likely to increase in value over time, so here are some suggestions for jewelry to give as gifts to mark important events in your life and that of your loved ones.

A jewel for a newborn

The most beautiful moment for a family is undoubtedly the arrival of a new baby. And of course, nothing better to celebrate his birth than to welcome him with an appropriate gift, whether it's a girl or a boy!

During a baptism, for example, the ideal is to offer the child a jewel that comes from his family. Silver or gold bracelets are especially suitable for boys, and can be engraved with the child's name or bear their date of birth, for example. A butterfly choker necklace with a pearl or a gold pendant on a bracelet can make interesting gifts for a little girl, and can later be integrated into other jewelry if she wishes.

Birth gift for young mothers

Birth gifts offered to young mothers are a relatively recent tradition: it consists of the child's father offering his companion a superb piece of jewelry for the birth of their baby. What better choice than to offer for the occasion a personalized jewel which would include the name of the baby or perhaps to opt for a superb gold ring set with the birthstone of the child?

The traditional birthstones are:

January – Garnet

February – Amethyst

Mars – Aquamarine

April – Diamond

Mai - Emeraude

June – Pearl or Alexandrite

July – Ruby

August – Peridot

September – Sapphire

October – Tourmaline or Opal

November – Topaz or citrine

December – Tanzanite or zircon

A military dog tag style butterfly choker necklace can also be personalized to feature the parents' initials next to the child's name. Such gifts are sure to please and be cherished forever by their recipients. Moreover, although birth gifts are generally offered by dads to young mothers, no rule prohibits the mother from offering a gift in return, for example by having a ring engraved for her companion!

The perfect gift for a first birthday

Anniversary gift jewellery

The first anniversary of a romantic relationship or a marriage undoubtedly deserves to be marked by the purchase of a jewel. For her, a simple gold butterfly choker necklace or bracelet could mark the beginning of a long collection of diverse and varied pendants accumulated over the years. For him, gold cufflinks, a money clip or a link bracelet are particularly suitable, and can be engraved perfectly for the occasion.

Anniversaries are usually marked by a particular gemstone, which makes any ring or butterfly choker necklace purchased for the occasion extremely meaningful. The metal to recommend for a first anniversary is gold, but if the budget happens to be rather limited, simple earrings for her, and a gold-plated bookmark or a gold pencil for him will do perfectly the case.

Birthday Gifts for Him and for Her

The second anniversary is usually marked by the choice of a jewel featuring a garnet, and the pearl comes third (although mother-of-pearl presents an interesting and more original alternative). Blue topaz, sapphire, amethyst, onyx, tourmaline and finally lapis lazuli then follow each other to diamond for the 10th anniversary. Diamond earrings (for her or for him!), a solitaire or a river bracelet may be appropriate for the occasion.

Significant anniversaries in subsequent years are marked by many well-known symbols. For the 25th anniversary , it is a silver gift that should be given, for example in the form of a collectible coin, a key ring, a silver photo frame, cufflinks or a money clip for him, while a silver bangle or piece of jewelry ordered for the occasion will delight any bride.
