As gifting season draws near, you may find yourself meandering through the jewelry department in search of the best jewelry gifts for someone special. Diamonds, pearls, gemstones—it can be difficult to navigate. Here at Vogue HQ, we’ve curated the best jewelry gifts at each price point to make gift-giving—one of my favorite love languages—a bit less tricky.
Thankfully (for you and me!), this year, I’m getting better at keeping notes and I don’t mind sharing. Gift the pearls that stand the test of time; the perfect (and very well priced!) locket for anyone near and dear; the beading kit for kids and grownups alike. Jewelry gifts offer longevity beyond trends and often can have the added layer of being deeply personal for both the giver and receiver.

Under $250
On the hunt for a piece they’ll love at a price you won’t be mad at? Dorsey’s sparkling drop earrings are both classy and romantic, and give a modern heirloom feel that can be worn by any generation. Or if you prefer a statement maker consider the bangle stack from Ben Amun.
Under $500
We think the best gifts are those that are meaningful. A locket with a sentimental photo within is a thoughtful gift idea that anyone will appreciate. This one by Monica Rich Kosann is great quality and a great price. Or opt for a classic set of pearl studs, like the ones from Mikimoto.
Under $1,000
Planning for a night out? This chunky Sylvia Toledano cuff would be great paired with a sleek evening gown and—even better—gift a pair and you’re still under budget. If classics are her best friend, try Tiffany’s split bone ring in silver for an original icon.
Under $2,500
Sophie Bille Brahe has some of the best pearl pieces—this bracelet version of her iconic Peggy design plays with size while remaining classic. For those who prefer a little sparkle, Foundrae’s pink tourmaline necklace is sweet without being saccharine.
Sky’s the Limit
When the budget is unlimited, why not opt for Cartier’s shrunken Tank Américaine? This is a classic piece, with a new petite size—perfect for any special occasion. Or go personal with this medallion piece by Van Cleef & Arpels. You can make it extra special with a meaningful engraving.
