The Top 10 Gold Jewelry Styles to Gift This Season

The holiday season is just around the corner; festive lights, nostalgic music humming from the speakers, invitations and holiday cards being sent, and thoughtfully chosen gifts wrapped up with a bow. 

One of the best parts of gift-giving is the surprise part of it all - finding the perfect item, tucking it away in your best hiding spot, trying your best not to give away the surprise too early!  

We're pro's here at Skeie's when it comes to gift guides, and pulling off sparkling surprises. Need a little help deciding on a gift? Check out our Top 10 Holiday Gift Guide here, and read below on our favorite Gold Jewelry to tuck under the tree this season. 

There are many places to shop for the perfect piece of gold jewelry - why go for solid gold instead of gold filled, plated, etc? 

• Solid Gold doesn't tarnish
• You can always have the piece polished, sized, repaired, and more; whereas most gold plated jewelry has to just be replaced, solid gold can be worn for years to come. 
• That means it's more than just a holiday gift; it's a heritage piece. 
• The polish and finishes of solid gold can be personalized. High polish vs a satin finish vs a vintage-inspired Florentine design... you have an endless variety. 

This is the base of any gold jewelry collection; not only will it make a great layering piece to mix in fun jewelry on a night out, but it makes a forever piece that they can wear all the time. 

This could be either a solid gold chain, or a gold pendant - both are good options for the holiday too. A chain will be a favorite for their everyday wear, and a pendant has personalization options if you want to give it a little extra touch. Who doesn't love that? 

Our favorite gold layering necklaces? The Roberto Coin Diamond-Cross Pendant, and the Marco Bicego Diamond-Accented Interlocking Circles Necklace - both made from 18k Italian Gold, and both meaningful. 

Everyone needs a pair of special earrings for a celebration, a holiday party, or an anniversary. Even if they're someone who tends to stick to the same gold jewelry throughout the year, surprising them with something a little more glam (and planning an evening out to go with them!) is always a special moment on a memorable morning.

This doesn't mean you have to go too wild or too out of their style range. It simply means add a little something more than what they normally do. We all need that little extra touch of elegance during the holiday season. 

Layering bracelets are on trend, easy to do, and a perfect way to wear gold jewelry (because you don't have to worry about the tarnishing). 

If they aren't used to wearing bracelets, start with a solid gold chain-style, like our Bow Chain bracelet. It's one of those put-on-and-never-take-off pieces that has a unique chain design and a great texture. 

If you want to add a little gold jewelry glam to their bracelet stack, go for a diamond station bracelet, a gemstone line, or - a beloved classic - the diamond line bracelet. 

Are you shopping for someone who doesn't like a lot of sparkle, or someone young who is just getting used to fine gold jewelry? 

Gold hoops are the quintessential holiday gift. Classics like Gold Tube Hoops work for everyone, or you can make it a little more personal to their style by adding in different designs and textures. It's a great way to gift something they'll be able to reach for again and again and again. 

This is the easiest way to personalize their gold jewelry collection - and mix in bits of color and personalization. Gold stacking rings make a great neutral to add in as an everyday ring, and sit easily next to an engagement set, as a right hand ring, or against a birthstone-inspired ring. 

What if I don't know the right finger size?

We always recommend gifting the ready-to-go size, and then sizing it after; this prevents having to do the guess work, and makes sure we don't size up/down too many times and thin out any gold. Our team is always happy to help simplify this process and make it easy and seamless for both you and the giftee. 

Easily one of our staff favorites; a bold statement ring should be a part of everyone's gold jewelry collection - and there are a lot of ways to do it! 

Did a signet ring immediately come to mind when we said Bold Gold? That's one of the classics, and it does make a fabulous statement ring for either men or women. Signet rings have so many customization options - with or without gemstones, the signet shape, the gold color... our team of custom-design experts and specialists are always on hand to help you design a dream Signet ring for yourself or for a loved one. 

Another way to get the Bold Gold ring look? A modern cigar band - a wide ring with flat edges. This one can also be done without or without diamonds or gemstones, so you can make it perfectly personalized for your gold jewelry collection. 

Another option we love, for the ones who love a little more glitz and glam? Our diamond-pave encrusted rings, available in tons of configurations, metal colors, diamond and gemstones options, and more. These are easily some of the most comfortable rings you'll reach for in your gold jewelry collection. 

There are a variety of ways to add in gold jewelry for the holidays for the man in your life, even if he's not crazy into jewelry or watches. 

Our go-to choices? A classic, thin gold chain with a gold pendant, like a dog-tag pendant or a gold cross. We like to start with a rope chain or a curb chain if he's getting used to wearing one; if you're thinking about adding a new chain style to his collection, consider a chunkier Cuban-link or a thick box chain. Both make a great statement and have that timeless gold look. 

Ask our team about pendants with engraving options to personalize his gift! 

Bangles make a great gift, for so many reasons. They're a classic style, they can be made to fit any wrist size, and they can stack endlessly. 

We love to mix other metals into gold jewelry like Sterling Silver and Oxidized Sterling Silver. It brings out a great texture and color palette to your everyday look, and mixes up a plain gold bangle stack. 

You can add in bangles in so many different ways, from all-gold to diamond-accented to full-diamond. Our current favorite? The Logan James collection; an extraordinary set of bangles (and more) made of Steel and Gold and available in endless designs. 

The ultimate classic for men and women - a gold or gold-accented timepiece. A watch is a beautiful blend of heritage and modernity, and make a perfect gold-inspired holiday gift. 

This is one area that we do offer a gold-capped collection, because of the way the gold is bonded to the stainless steel in watch bracelets; it's a long-lasting bonding process, meaning your watch will last for generations to come. 

The other thing we love about gifting watch is the price range - our collection starts around $500 and goes up from there so you have that perfect mix of price-range and quality together.
