The festive season is a curious one. Our calendars swiftly fill up with the names of people we love, and the familiar sounds of holiday cheer begin to fill the home. A sense of reflection also lingers, as we take stock of the days that have come to be and the people that matter most to us. And in some way, the act of gift-giving enacts this sentiment best.
For some, a book—one that speaks to the soul—is a measure of how much you know your intended giftee. Is this for a friend who adores a classic romance, or your cousin who loves the thrill of a locked room mystery? For others, it’s a matter of how attentive you were to the small moments. “You were looking at this scarf.” “You remembered?”
And then there are the moments you don’t want to hold back—when you want to show a certain someone exactly how precious they are. Nothing screams that more than a thoughtfully-chosen piece of jewellery. Be it their eye for unique design, the tactile delight they might glean from specific metals, or the crème de la crème: pieces centred around a gemstone that reminds you of them.
So take heed. From fanciful brooches that will be worth the splurge to simple, delicate necklaces for their everyday, let us leave you with Vogue Singapore’s holiday guide of some lovely jewellery ideas to gift to the ones you treasure most in life.
