Jewellery Style, Lifestyle InspirationGive The Gift of Beaded Jewellery
Tis the season for giving and receiving gifts – my favourite time of the year. I’m sure you’ve got your list of people to surprise this Christmas. That’s the easy part.
The tough part is finding something that each person will like. For some, you can’t go wrong with something techy and others will always appreciate a good book.
I’m grateful for those friends and family who’ll take a bottle of wine above all else. These are the people who make Christmas shopping a breeze.
The rise of food entrepreneurs has definitely added a new dimension to our gifting options. Along with the hampers available at most grocery stores at this time of the year, it’s not out of place to send a box of chocolates, cupcakes, custom-baked cakes and an assortment of desserts as a gifts.

Shopping for the women on your list however, may require a bit more effort especially if you need something that will endure long after edibles are digested.
There are many options though. A nice African Print Fabric is a great choice. And when it comes to accessories, shoes and bags have always been the norm.
There is one thing that’s becoming a popular holiday gift item – Beaded Jewellery. With so many jewellery artisans like HMJServices doing amazing work, you are literally spoiled for choice.
In this post, I show you how to choose the right piece of beaded jewellery for the women in your life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go For Something Special!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the stylish and adventurous woman in your life, something unique is perfect. If she hasn’t sent you a wishlist, look through her favourite brands to spot items from special collections that she’s certain to love.
I highly recommend you take a look at my Dame Collection. It’s a unique collection of beaded jewellery that are beautifully designed, beautifully made and very unique!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go A La Mode!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Almost everyone loves to be trendy. Being ‘on-trend’ is a major style goal for most women and you certainly won’t go wrong helping a lady stay fabulously on-trend.
Layered, netted necklaces are super trendy right now. You’ll see them at traditional occasions of all kinds.
Leesabeth_Jewels makes gorgeous ones. You should definitely look them up!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Give The Gift of Colour!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Colour is a big part of what makes us fall in love with accessories. So getting something in your recipient’s favourite colour is highly recommended.
Is it gold, silver, blue, green, yellow, red, pink or turquoise?
Itoro Okon’s Cornucopia Collection is all about colour. Explore this and more of their creations to find something in just the right colour for that lady.

Shop Authentic!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some people only swoon for jewellery that’s made of their favourite stuff. For some, it’s a matter of authenticity. For others, it’s more about quality and durability.
Before you go splurging, find out what your lady is into. Does she love Gold, Gold, Gold? Does she have a soft spot for Sterling Silver like me? Does she adore raw Coral, pure Pearls or real stone?
If you’re shopping for someone who simply adores coral, then you should definitely consult Gbenga Art Smith. They design beautiful, trad-fabulous jewellery with coral.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go Classic!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Classics are there for a reason. With them, it’s not about trendiness. It’s about timeless appeal and versatility.
There’s no better classic than a Princess string of Pearls with matching earrings. Its appeal is universal. This is one gift item that always works. I know no woman who would complain about having too many Pearls.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Get It Customized!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now that you’ve narrowed the specifications for your gift, you may have trouble finding something that’s just right in ready-made collections.
Don’t let that stop you! Simply order a custom production of the item you want. All the jewellery designers featured in this post accept custom order requests. Since we’re already days from Christmas, you should definitely place your custom order now.
To send me your custom order request, comment on this post and I’ll get back to you. You can also fill a form HERE.
POSTSCRIPT: KEEP IT REAL!
It feels good to give gifts. The more you give, the happier you make others and the happier you feel. Don’t forget however, that at the end of the day, it’s the thought that counts.
It’s important to have a responsible gifting budget. Do the best you can afford. Give your gifts along with prayers, praises, hugs, kisses and kind words. They are priceless. Without them, there can be no real happiness.
So, prepare your heart and your words as you shop for gifts this holiday season.
Happy Shopping!
