Christmas gifts for every type of jewellery lover

For every type of jewellery lover

1/14

The times they are a-changin’ – diamonds alone are no longer a girl’s best friend.

Today, the modern woman enjoys a mix of colourful jewellery with oversized chains and asymmetrical designs (think single earrings or mismatched sides).

As trendy jewellery brands continue to offer more and more affordable offerings, you might be more confused about what to buy.

So here’s a guide to help you pick out something for that special someone in your life. Whether she’s a sentimental doll or a flamboyant livewire, Monica Vinader has you covered.

The practical maximalist

As seen at Zimmermann, Marni, and Gucci, oversized chains rocked the S/S ’20 runways.

Get with the trend with the Alta Capture collection, which includes a bracelet, matching earrings, necklace and supersized bracelet – all defined by multiple clasping links that can be added or subtracted to alter the length or carry pendant charms.

With the versatile mix and match options, you’ll be able to wear these statement pieces over and over again.

For instance, the Alta earrings can be transformed from an everyday item to a dramatic cocktail piece by adding links or pendant charms.

The clean-cut classic lover

5/14

We all love a little bling, especially when it's genuine, non-conflict diamonds at an affordable price point.

Ticking all those boxes (and more) are Monica Vinader’s Riva and Alta collections. While the brand incorporates diamonds in almost all its collections, the pared down designs here speak to women who enjoy subtle minimalism.

The continuous yet understated sparkle of the pave (say “pah-vey”) set diamonds is perfect for ladies who enjoy sticking with the classics.

French for “to pave”, this setting type consists of many small gemstones fitted together to resemble a cobblestone-paved road.

The minimalist aesthetic is also suitable for stacking and layering, which makes it great for everyday wear.

The iconic Siren collection has long been Monica Vinader’s headline act of vibrant-coloured jewellery. 

Reminiscent of “sea-worn treasures and the glamour of southern Italy”, the stunning line is perfect for the energetic and fun-loving woman who enjoys adding some pizzazz to her everyday look

In the brand’s latest collaboration with Caroline Issa, we’re in for another sweet treat. The collection delights with juicy gemstones that remind us of sweets in a candy store.

The sweet sentimentalist

11/14

For the woman who’s less about the bling and more about the thought, a personalised gift is it.

With complimentary engraving and monogramming, you can add a name, message, motif, zodiac/horoscope sign or hand-drawn doodle to jewellery, or up to five letters to leather pieces.

The best pieces to customise: the Signature Wide Ring and matching bangle.

One of our favourite pieces to personalise? The Ziggy round pendant charm - a gently hammered charm which can easily be mixed with other charms. The ample 18mm diameter also allows for your creativity to run wild.

The lady who treasures her trinkets would also appreciate Monica Vinader’s leather trinket box, a personalisable (emboss up to five letters in gold leaf) case that’ll keep jewellery in tip-top condition.
