Why Jewelry is a Timeless Gift

Giving the gift of jewelry has been a tradition since ancient times and continues to be a part of our culture today. The gift of jewelry is truly timeless!
Here are 10 reasons why jewelry is a wonderful gift (and why it always will be):
1. Jewelry is meaningful.
When done right, jewelry is a meaningful and sentimental gift. A piece of jewelry can symbolize anything -- it can be a symbol of pride from a parent to a graduating child, a symbol of friendship, or a symbol of love from one spouse to another. Jewelry can be a comfort to a grieving friend or the symbol of a promise made. There are no rules to what jewelry can represent! Furthermore, a thoughtfully chosen piece of jewelry also represents the time and effort that the giver spent selecting it (that’s you)!
2. Jewelry can be worn and enjoyed daily.
Unlike most go-to gifts, jewelry can be worn and enjoyed every single day. Whether it was given for a special occasion or as a “just-because-I-love-you” gift, every time the recipient wears their ring or their new pendant, they will think about you and what the item means to them.
3. Jewelry lasts.
One of the best aspects of jewelry is that it lasts! Unlike clothes, flowers, gift cards, or any of the other popular gifts out there -- fine jewelry can be enjoyed for a lifetime (as long as you take care of it). Who doesn’t want to give a gift that can last forever? It can even become an heirloom that stays in your family for generations to come!
4. Jewelry doesn’t lose value over time.
When we purchase gifts, we are usually focused on the present (pun intended) and we don’t think much about future value. Jewelry is great because it is a “wow” gift that can actually double as an investment. Diamond and gold pieces of jewelry, especially, remain valuable over time, even as they’re worn. Some jewelry will even appreciate over time!
5. Jewelry can be gifted for many occasions.
Just as there are no rules to what jewelry can symbolize, there are no rules to when jewelry can be given. It can commemorate life’s most special moments, such a birthday, graduation, anniversary, or the birth/adoption of a new child. It can also be given “just because!”
6. Some people are hesitant to buy jewelry for themselves.
Another reason that jewelry makes a great gift is that it’s something that people are hesitant to buy for themselves. Women might wish for a new pair of diamond earrings or a beautiful tennis bracelet, but many are unwilling to purchase those items for themselves. If a woman decides to treat herself, she will generally renew basic items, such as purses, clothes, or shoes. Jewelry is considered a luxury -- which makes it that much more special to give!
7. Jewelry is as fun to give as it is to get!
There’s something almost magical about giving the gift of jewelry! It’s an incredible feeling when you know you’ve found the perfect piece and you’re anticipating the reaction you’re going to get. Plus, it’s ridiculously fun to plan out how you will give it, which leads to my next point...
8. The presentation can be part of the gifting experience.
When you give jewelry, half the fun is how you present it! You can be as creative as you want (scavenger hunt, anyone?) or go the traditional route and hand over the tiny wrapped box.
When you plan out how you will present your gift, you are setting the stage for a special moment -- one that you will both remember for years to come.
9. Jewelry is versatile and customizable.
Jewelry is also a fantastic gift because it’s extremely versatile. You can find jewelry to meet almost any budget and to fit any personality. Jewelry can also be personalized with engraving or modifications. Or, if you’re hoping for something truly unique, you can have something custom-made!
10. Jewelry speaks for you.
Lastly, jewelry is the perfect gift choice because it speaks for you. It is a gift that always surprises and delights the recipient while sending a message that a thousand words would fail to do.
