Ahead: 10 of our favorite gifts for every person on your list.

 

#1: Best Personalized Jewelry Gift

Kindred Birthstone Necklace

 

#2: Best Birthstone Jewelry Gift

Aura Pendant Necklace

If one thing’s for certain, it’s this: our community can’t get enough of this dainty birthstone necklace. It’s the perfect amount of personalization for anyone on your list—easy to customize and subtly symbolic. Note your recipient’s birth month and choose from 12 modern, jewel-toned birthstones (from Subtle Ruby to Forest Emerald)! We spent over a year refining a modern palette of birthstones people would actually want to wear…and turns out we were right.

“I bought three of these for my young daughters and plan to add their initial charms to them as well. These are such beautiful keepsakes to have for years to come. I'm so happy with how they turned out.”
—Lauren B.

Available in 14k gold fill and sterling silver, as well as a solid gold version!

 

#3: Best Diamond Jewelry Gift

Eclipse Diamond Ring

We’re over the moon for this gently curved ring, made with lab-grown, conflict-free diamonds set in 10k solid gold—a reminder to fill each moment with hope and the promise of endless possibilities. It’s also available in a white sapphire version (set in gold vermeil or sterling silver!) for a more wallet-friendly gift that’s still as gorgeous. Whichever you choose, it’s quite the gasp-worthy piece that’s on the top of team GLDN’s wishlists this year.

“This ring is so gorgeous, especially for the price. I love how it’s dainty and significant at the same time. One stone for each of my kids makes it meaningful too. Love!”
—Kellie R.

Available in solid gold or gold vermeil and sterling silver.

 

#4: Best Empowering Jewelry Gift

Enneagram Necklace

Designed to highlight your strengths, find inner harmony and understand the path to your true spirit, this reversible enneagram pendant makes the ultimate gift to empower and inspire its wearer. The front represents your gifts (how you naturally shine) and the back represents your guiding light (a lesson to help you shine your brightest)! Includes a booklet all about enneagrams, too—ideal for every enneagram enthusiast. 

“We gave this necklace to a friend who recently became a life coach and certified in enneagrams. She absolutely loved it—thinks it’s beautiful and of great quality.”
—Tanya M.

Available in 10k solid gold, gold vermeil and sterling silver. Shop it now.

 

#5: Best Pearl Jewelry Gift

Pleine Lune Necklace

For the ones who like to keep it simple and striking. Our best-selling single pearl necklace features a delicate freshwater pearl (choose from two pearl sizes) strung on our sparkliest chain, available in any length—though we love it as a choker or resting on the collarbone! Pearls are perfect for holiday party season, brighten up wintry outfits and, of course, are perfect for the spring and summer months, too. We also love gifting pearls for their quiet symbolism: clarity, purity and wisdom.

“I got the necklace as a gift for my mom and she really loved it! The gift note that came with the necklace was handwritten which was really special. Made the gift more personal since we live so far from each other and couldn’t celebrate together in person.”
—India D.

Available in 14k solid gold, 14k gold fill, sterling silver and rose gold fill. Shop it now.

 

#6: Best Statement Jewelry Gift

Grand Baguette Ring

The gift that makes a grand entrance! Our bestselling baguette ring comes in three gemstones: moody labradorite (for weathering any storm), serene amethyst (for protecting your peace) and classic white sapphire (for finding inner clarity). And with a price under $75 for gold vermeil or sterling silver and under $200 for solid gold, it’s easy to really wow someone with this one. Throw in the matching studs or necklace to take it over the top.

“Gave this to my girlfriend as a first year anniversary present. She can’t stop looking at it! It’s a perfect promise ring.”
—Cyrus M.

Available in 10k solid gold, gold vermeil and sterling silver. Shop it now.

 

#7: Best Floral Jewelry Gift

Flora Necklace

Flowers are our favorite love language. Our classic Flora Necklace boasts more than 20 one-of-a-kind, hand-illustrated flowers to choose from—asters, baby’s breath, sunflowers…the list goes on and on. When you’re gifting this piece, we recommend choosing your recipient’s birth flower, favorite flower or flower that blooms near their home to make it extra special, though you can’t go wrong with choosing for aesthetics either. Once you choose a flower, our makers will hand-personalize the pendant with your chosen flower and include a keepsake flower meaning card in your gift box.

“Got this for a cherished friend and she absolutely adores it. GLDN jewelry is my go-to favorite gift for the women in my life that I adore!”
—Lisa N.

Available in 14k solid gold, 14k gold fill and sterling silver. Shop it now.

 

#8: Best Solid Gold Staple Gift

Dainty Heart Chain

Whether they’re just starting their solid gold collection or have been collecting for years, we doubt they have a piece quite like this one. It’s so subtle that, from far away, you can’t quite tell this chain is made of tiny hearts—but that’s the magic of it! It makes the sweetest base for charms (like our Aura Gemstone Charm especially!) or personalized add-on tags, and can be made in a custom size to fit them perfectly.

“I absolutely adore this necklace! I haven’t stopped wearing it since it arrived. Incredibly delicate and sweet. It’s a wearable love whisper.”
—Ashlee C.

Available in 10k solid gold, gold fill and sterling silver. Shop it now.

 

#9: Best Playful Jewelry Gift 

Custom Charm Bracelet or Necklace

2024 is the year of charms and we’re very much here for it. Build your recipient a custom charm bracelet with 3-5 charms or a necklace with 5-7 charms that represent their personality or passions—from tiny paws to initials to food charms! Each charm is surprisingly detailed and hung on our signature roped jump ring for added texture and shine.

“The custom charm necklace is beautiful. The craftsmanship is stunning.”
—Mackenzie L.

Available in 14k gold fill and sterling silver. Shop the bracelet or necklace.

 

#10: Best Modern Jewelry Gift

Worry Stone Necklace

Worry not—this is a gift everyone will love. It’s symbolic, simple and modern; the kind of piece you can wear with anything and everything. As a fresh take on traditional worry stone pendants, it’s designed to settle your mind, ground your look and actually be used as a worry stone (that is, it’s made to be calming as you hold it!). Perfect for anyone going through a difficult time, or anyone who could use some extra peace in their life right now.

“Bought this as a gift, but I now want one for myself! Perfect size to make a statement but still be minimal. Love the design!”
—Lauren V.

Available in gold vermeil and sterling silver, as well as a petite solid gold version.

 

Bonus Gift: Jewelry Case

Thoughtfully designed with our community over the course of a year, these aren’t just any jewelry cases you’d find out there. They’re made with anti-tarnish suedette lining (yes, that’s a thing!), plant fiber vegan leather and all the storage you need for home and away—available in a larger size (our Signature Jewelry Case) and a smaller size (our Sidekick Jewelry Case). 

“This jewelry case is so beautiful and I love that it was made with us customers’ opinions in mind! The only problem I have is wanting to buy more pieces to fill it with!”
—Acacia D.
