Choosing jewellery as a Christmas present can be very personal. Whether you are looking for a piece to wear every day, something more distinctive for special occasions or a design that complements an existing jewellery collection, it helps to start with the recipient’s individual style.
This year, we have taken some inspiration from the jewellery trends predicted for 2027. Mixed metals, sculptural silver, coloured gemstones, statement pieces and fresh interpretations of classic designs are all influencing the year ahead.
With that in mind, we have selected some Christmas gift ideas from our collections.
Mixed metals and sculptural silver
The old idea that gold and silver jewellery should always be kept separate has been steadily disappearing. Mixed-metal jewellery makes it easier to combine warm and cool tones within the same collection and is expected to remain an important part of jewellery styling into 2027.
For a subtle approach, our 9ct yellow and white kiss stud earrings combine yellow and white gold in a compact everyday design. For something more substantial, the Latham Neve sterling silver and 18ct gold ripple multi bangle brings silver and gold together within a flowing multi-band design.
Silver itself is also taking on a more sculptural role, with larger forms, curves and more expressive shapes moving beyond the fine chains and minimalist designs of recent years.
The Latham Neve sterling silver supernova trio pendant is a good example of this more dimensional approach to silver jewellery. It can be worn on its own or paired with the matching Latham Neve sterling silver supernova drop earrings for a coordinated set.
Colourful gemstones
Colour is another strong theme for 2027, with vibrant gemstones and unexpected combinations offering an easy way to introduce more personality into a jewellery collection.
Our 9ct yellow multi-coloured gemstone necklace combines several colours within one piece and can be complemented by the 9ct yellow multi-gemstone gold hoop earrings and 9ct yellow multi-colour gemstone gold bracelet. These pieces work particularly well as Christmas gifts because they can be bought individually or used to build a matching set over time.
For someone who prefers a single gemstone colour, the 9ct yellow gold amethyst trillion stud earrings combine the rich purple of amethyst with a geometric trillion cut.
Colour can also come from materials other than gemstones. The Nicole Barr sterling silver blue harlequin feather earrings use blue enamel to introduce colour within a more decorative design.
Statement rings and vintage influences
Bolder individual pieces are also expected to feature strongly in 2027. Rather than coordinating every item of jewellery, a statement ring or pair of earrings can provide the main focal point.
The sterling silver rhapsody ring is a good choice for someone who prefers a larger, more sculptural ring, while the silver tutti frutti multi stone ring combines a statement shape with multiple colours.
Vintage influences are continuing too, particularly through classic stone shapes and jewellery with an Art Deco or antique-inspired character. The silver sage serenity emerald CZ stud earrings use an emerald-cut shape to create a more structured, vintage-influenced look.
These styles can make particularly good gifts for someone whose jewellery collection already has a strong sense of character.
Pearls with a modern approach
Pearls continue to be reworked in ways that feel less formal and easier to incorporate into everyday jewellery. Alongside the traditional graduated pearl necklace, contemporary designs are using individual pearls, more open settings and simpler silhouettes.
The gold freshwater pearl hook earrings are an easy way to introduce pearls without choosing a traditional matching set.
For someone who prefers the classic look, a mid-length graduated freshwater pearl necklace remains a versatile choice. Alternatively, the 9ct yellow gold freshwater pearl station necklace spaces the pearls along a fine gold chain for a lighter, more contemporary appearance.
Crosses and meaningful jewellery
Symbolic jewellery is another area receiving renewed attention, with crosses and crucifixes appearing more prominently within 2027 fashion and jewellery styling.
For someone who already wears a cross or for whom the symbolism has personal significance, our 9ct white gold diamond cross pendant combines the traditional motif with white gold and diamond detailing.
As with any symbolic piece, we would recommend choosing it because it suits the person receiving it rather than simply because it reflects a current trend. A well-chosen piece of jewellery should still feel relevant long after the season has changed.
