A considered gifting guide, by budget
Pieces that will still be worn in ten years, chosen by price and by the person you are buying for, plus how to get the ring size right in secret.
The best jewellery gifts are the ones that disappear into someone's everyday life: the necklace they forget to take off, the hoops they reach for without thinking. These are the pieces I suggest most often, grouped by budget.
Under $400
The Sola diamond pendant ($340) is the easiest first piece of fine jewellery to give. A single lab-grown diamond on a fine 1 mm chain, adjustable from 40 to 45 cm, so it fits almost everyone. For someone who already loves pearls, the Lune pearl drop hoops ($380) move beautifully and work from morning to evening.
$400 to $600
The Eira sculpted hoops ($460) look bold but weigh only 3.1 g each, which makes them a safe choice for someone who usually avoids big earrings. The Mira moonstone pendant ($420) suits someone who likes colour without shine. For a gift that becomes personal, the Nova signet ($520) can be engraved with initials.
For a milestone
The Aure solitaire ($1,240) and the Vela tennis bracelet ($1,860) are pieces for proposals, anniversaries and big birthdays. Both are set with graded lab-grown diamonds in recycled 18k gold.
When in doubt, choose earrings or a necklace. They have no size to get wrong.
Getting a ring size in secret
- Borrow a ring they wear on the same finger and measure its inside diameter.
- Ask a close friend or family member, they often know.
- If you have to guess, most women's ring fingers fall between size 5 and 7.
- Every Maré ring includes free resizing in the first year.
