We've all experienced the dilemma. You hope to gift something extraordinary — imbued with thoughtfulness, individuality and meaning. Jewellery emerges as an ideal choice… until you're overwhelmed by choices and begin second-guessing. Will they like it? Will they wear it? What if it's excessive — or insufficient?

At Ryan Thomas Jewellers, we champion the idea that jewellery should be significant and wearable. Whether it’s a subtle everyday piece or a statement for big occasions, the finest gifts bring together style, sentiment and wearability. This guide is designed to help you choose the perfect jewellery gift they’ll genuinely wear - and treasure.

Begin with Their Style 

The finest jewellery gift resonates with their personality. Before you go ahead, consider:

• Do they gravitate towards silver, yellow gold or rose gold?

• Are they more inclined towards classic, minimalist or bold styles?

• Do they normally wear rings, necklaces or earrings?

If simplicity is their forte, opt for refined gold jewellery, such as studs earrings or a delicate pendant. If they thrive on making an impact, select chunky earrings, vibrant gemstones, or layered chains.

Need help decoding their taste? Browse through their instagram pics, discreetly glance at their current favourites, or visit our store with a photo — our team relishes a good style match challenge.

Prioritise Meaning Over Mere Sparkle 

Anyone can pick something that sparkles. But if you want your gift to resonate as much with the heart as with the eyes, seek jewellery with a narrative:

Birthstones: Impart personal significance via their birth month or their child's birthstone.

Initial jewellery: Considered, understated and highly wearable.

Symbolic shapes: Hearts, stars, infinity loops — soft gestures that convey meaning.

Our assortment of personalised jewellery gifts encompasses engravable pieces, family birthstone rings and bespoke charms — ideal for birthdays, anniversaries and moments of spontaneous love.

Opt for Pieces Compatible with Everyday Life 

Jewellery that remains unworn often falters on the practicality front. Select a piece that seamlessly complements their everyday look:

Hoop earrings: Transition smoothly from work to casual dining.

Link bracelets: Whether layered or solo, they go with everything.

Pendant necklaces: Sophisticated and laid-back, perfect for layering.

We frequently recommend jewellery gifts under €200 for those in search of something unique and wearable. It isn’t necessary to make a huge investment purchase to imbue meaning — a thoughtfully chosen piece with attentive consideration speaks volumes.

Thinking of Gifts for Him? 

Gifting jewellery to men now extends beyond cufflinks and watches. Our men's jewellery  collection has never been more popular — envision leather bracelets, silver chains or a simple signet ring. Discover our curated edit of jewellery gifts for him, from gent's watches to minimalist silver chains.

Unsure About Size? Here's the Solution

Rings can be perplexing if you aren’t aware of your loved one's size, but don’t let that deter you. You have options....

Select a necklace, bracelet or pair of earrings instead and negate sizing concerns, or alternatively, gift a Ryan Thomas e-gift voucher nestled inside a jewellery box for a presentation that still feels special.

If leaning towards a ring, we always provide resizing support after gifting.

Our team is here to to aid you in finding the perfect choice (or an ingenious workaround if uncertainty prevails).

Conclude with a Beautiful Wrap (Literally) 

Presentation is everything. At Ryan Thomas Jewellers, every gift is beautifully enclosed in our signature packaging — prepped for gifting with no additional effort needed. It’s one less aspect for you to worry about, and one more feature for them to delight in.
