“It’s the most wonderful time of the year,” Andy Williams’ song truly encapsulates the enchantment of the holiday season. But with the magic of the season also comes the stress and worry of finding gifts for loved ones. Fine jewellery as a holiday gift is a great idea. Well selected fine jewellery says so much – it is thoughtful and meaningful but most importantly, it gently whispers to the person receiving the gift, “you are very special.”
Pearl Jewellery for the Holiday Season, Pearls of Joy
Fine jewellery set with pearls has a versatility that few other jewellery gifts have. From everyday wear to special occasions, there are multiple ways to wear and enjoy pearl jewellery. And you can find beautiful pearl jewellery to suit every budget.
Here are some holiday gift ideas that are sure to take the worry out of gift buying for you.

Pearl pendants are a charming gift. This is not only because they are easy to wear, but also because there are so many different styles to choose from. Worn with a short or long chain, with a cashmere sweater or a plain t-shirt, pearl pendants are always an excellent addition to any look.
Pearl stud earrings are the quintessential piece of pearl jewellery. Perfectly round orbs of luminous pearls, stud earrings add a classy touch to every outfit. Stud earrings mounted with Akoya or freshwater pearls are both good choices. Akoya pearls have a pull that is quite unique. Their high lustre, symmetrically round shapes and appealing orient makes them a favourite among jewellery lovers. From gleaming white to inky black, Akoya pearl ear studs are exceptionally lovely. Alternately, the wider range of natural colours available in freshwater pearls makes them an excellent choice too. No just white but varying tones of pink, lavender and peach, there is a colour for everyone.

If there was ever a piece of jewellery that embodied panache, it would be the pearl bracelet. Pearl bracelets have so many different iterations. Singe row or multiple row, tin-cup style or set on a rubber band, the variety is endless. Worn singly or stacked, expressed in monochromatic tones or in a profusion of colours, pearl bracelets are a classic piece of fine jewellery that is not in any hurry to go out of style.
You can never go wrong with pearl drop earrings. There is a pair of dangling pearl earrings for every face shape. Plus, it is difficult not to appreciate the playful, slightly sensuous vibe of dangling pearl earrings. All over the world, from Paris and NYC to LA and Hong Kong, these days, pearl shoulder dusters and hoop earrings are having a real fashion moment- one more reason why pearl earrings are a spectacular choice for a holiday gift.

Imagine a cocktail ring with a mesmerizing South Sea pearl framed by sparkling white diamonds. Or an iridescent green Tahitian pearl mounted on a band with glittering diamond details. Divine! Pearl and diamond rings are the epitome of refinement and flair. As a holiday gift, they are simply wonderful.
Nothing says elegance quite like a fine, well-matched, perfectly graduated pearl necklace. Whether it is a luminous Hanadama Akoya, a lustrous peacock Tahitian or an alluring South Sea necklace, this very traditional but classy piece of jewellery will always be synonymous with sophistication and refinement.
What really is a “perfect gift?” Simply, a perfect gift is one that has been selected with care, keeping the gift receiver in mind. A perfect gift is meant to give the receiver years of enjoyment and happiness after that first burst of joy. Pearls, in this regard, are perfect!
