04 December 2018 | Esther Ligthart | Trends & Inspiration

Jewelry is really the only present that will remain valuable and treasured over the years, this is one of the reasons why jewelry is absolute, without any doubt, the best gift for Christmas!

It’s that time of the year again, and whilst it seems that time flies ever faster, stores are ready to present you their most beautiful windows of the year! Filled with things we don’t need, but desire. Sometimes secretly, sometimes sharing it with friends and family. Are you stressing out already? Or do you have a clear idea about your gifts this year? Or are you the one hoping to receive that ring? That necklace or that bracelet?

jewelry is emotion

Ok, I am biased, however, I’ve seen the impact of jewelry as a gift for well over two decades. The emotions behind buying jewelry and the moment of gifting are beautiful to observe. In my career, I have witnessed the moments and I advised people who sought a meaningful present for their loved ones.

giving jewelry is precious

Jewelry, any kind of jewelry for any kind of budget is precious.Yes, I agree; a mass produced piece is very different to a handcrafted jewel, but those who sell jewelry should realize always that to the consumer- you - it’s always the gesture that counts far more than the actual value.

Jewelry is forever

The words you speak, the letter you write or the moment you give the present matter, and the jewelry itself will forever capture that moment. A materialized memory of a moment in time, an emotion lived and treasured. Every time you touch that earring, ring or necklace, play with that bangle or pin the brooch to your shirt, you can’t help but feeling something.

Jewelry is, for most of us, something we simply don’t buy very often. Therefore the uniqueness of the moment and the present are priceless.

Jewelry is experience

Technology changes ever more rapidly. Whilst I was among the first to get the iPhone X last year, it’s already replaced by newer models. The technology hasn’t even changed that much, but if they don’t come out with a new model every year, any tech company knows that others will fill their place in the market. Crazy!

So your beautiful gift of this year is already outdated next Christmas!Experiences are valued more over material goods, or so marketing reports about Millennials and Gen Z tell us, but again, there is nothing like jewelry to capture that experience and make it a tangible precious one forever. So to sum it up:
