All Of The Pretty Things: Jewellery Gift Guide

Baubles, sparkles and gems galore...

Cathy Donohue

Here at Her.ie towers, we are obsessed with all things that sparkle. 

Every so often, there’s a gasp from someone who has discovered a new line or brand that everyone needs to know about.

And so the Her.ie jewellery gift guide is born, a one stop shop that tells you all you need to know about the amazing pieces available at the moment.

The only problem is the wishlist might get a tad longer than originally anticipated as there is a huge amount of choice this season.

Stacking rings, vintage look watches, dainty rose gold pieces, statement necklaces, delicate charms and bountiful bangles… need we go on?!

In case you need a little background speak on each of the lines before you purchase, see below for what you need to know about this season’s glittery gems.

The gallery above features some of our favourite picks from the jewellery ranges mentioned.

Alex and Ani

The ethos behind this brand is positive energy and all of the pieces come with a little card proclaiming the item’s message. From spirituality, romance, and power this is bound to be a hit for those interested in symbolism. The bangles are the most popular, featuring beads, wraps, spikes, colours, and mantras but the rings and necklaces are also gaining popularity. Alex and Ani is available nationwide, with prices starting from €26.

Ansley Watch Company

Beware of the watch addiction, if you catch this bug then it’s all too easy to succumb to the lure of yet another watch. However, the Ansley is a timepiece that stands out from the crowd. A watch that will never date, it is the epitome of understated luxury. Made of stainless steel, sapphire glass and Swiss and Japanese quartz… it is a must-have piece that can worn be all year world providing a stylish finish to your everyday look. Prices start at €149 going up to €169 depending on the style of watch you choose.

Thomas Sabo

Widely known for intricate charm bracelets, the Thomas Sabo brand have upped their game to include gorgeous rose gold, zirconia and sterling silver pieces. Intricate designs, pretty pastel pinks, elegant detailing and tasteful bling… this is one truly stunning collection. Some of the more elaborate pieces are in the higher price bracket but whatever your budget, you’re sure to find something from this much talked about line. Prices start at about €40 and can exceed €500.

Marc Cain

Statement necklaces have the power to transform a simple outfit into quite the ensemble. A little sparkle quickly dresses up a simple t-shirt and jeans, making it very simple to change your look whatever your day entails. One of these Marc Cain beauties will do just that, whether you wear it to complement a favourite dress or with your casual Saturday outfit. Keep accessories to a minimum and let this piece do all the talking. The two pieces featured in the gallery above are priced at €139.90.

Pandora

The brand is a lusted after one, their collection of charms is second to none and the Christmas themed ones are especially cute. We particularly love the candy cane and Santa charms. However, their rings and bracelets are also gorgeous… for hearts, stars and all things pretty look no further than this range. Charms start from €30 and go up in price depending on how detailed they are.
