This is the time of year when we are all looking for tokens of affection for loved ones. Shopping for a precious gift for a jewellery aficionados can be a tricky task, however, an alternative to a piece of jewellery that does not break the bank can be a thoughtful jewellery related gift. Here I have compiled a selection of the best luxury presents to give your nearest and dearest this Christmas, from one jewellery obsessive to another!

Anyone who loves design would be thrilled to receive a piece baring the name Georg Jensen. The Danish silversmith was and still is perceived as a master of minimal and clean design. Even their Christmas tree decoration set and wreath are both sleek and stylish. Each piece is traditional, yet still true to the chic and timeless Jensen style. Available in silver and brass plating, these are the ultimate luxury decorations which will be loved for many years to come.

Buccelatti are known for their fine jewellery heritage, but they also transfer the skills and attributes needed to create exceptional jewellery into their wealth of fine silver homeware and ornaments. Enormous yet ornate candlesticks and centrepieces would be certain to delight, but for a more personal gift, why not invest in the range of animal ornaments? From a stately eagle atop a crystal boulder, to a sweet, delicate sparrow, the quality and detail of these pieces is what makes them truly worthy of the luxury gift title.

The excitement of opening the famous blue box is unparalleled. Although Tiffany&Co. are renowned for their silver jewellery and engagement rings, one will find a variety of engraveable home décor items and everyday accessories. Letter openers, money clips, cups, straws, rulers and many others gifts can be embellished with initials or a short message even with a purchase online.

I am sure every jewellery lover faces the dilemma of how to transport their precious pieces safely, in an organised manner, and in the luxury which jewellery deserves. Annoushka’s combination of a travel case and jewellery box is large enough to contain the essentials of even the biggest collection. It is decorated in golden snakeskin print on soft lamb’s leather – a thoughtful and smart gift option for any glamorous globetrotter.
