When someone gives you jewellery as a gift, it shows that they care about you. But have you ever wondered if there is more meaning behind
certain pieces of jewellery? Take a look as we delve into some deeper meanings behind your sparkling new piece.
Bracelets
Whether a bracelet or a bangle, these wrist ornaments are a beautiful and versatile present for almost anyone. There are so many different
ways to personalise this gift, with different gemstones and designs, bracelets are a gift beloved by many. Bracelets have been long
associated with friendship, from braided rope bracelets you made with your best friend at school lunchtimes, to matching gold or silver
chains you got as you grew up, friendship bracelets have long been synonymous with love and commitment to your platonic relationships.
However, bracelets can also be used as reminders for special milestones in your life. Charm bracelets are a particularly good gift for
someone who likes to commemorate their achievements and milestones. It’s just a bonus that additional charms make future gift giving much
easier! Bracelets can also mean love everlasting, much like a ring, some bracelets (or bangles) have no beginning or end, and can signify
everlasting love and devotion.
Rings
Everyone knows the most common ring to gift a loved one is an engagement ring. A physical sign that you are engaged to be wed, and a
physical sign of your commitment and devotion to your partner. However, there are other meanings behind gifting rings that don’t
automatically mean you are getting married. Rings are often viewed as a sign of eternal love and commitment, as they have no beginning or
end. And while they are used as a very serious sign of commitment, they can also be gifted as promises. Promise rings are becoming
ever-popular with the younger generations in relationships. They’re a sign of deep commitment and a hopeful promise to continue to advance
their relationships in the future. Rings are universally gifted as a sign of love and devotion, whether it be romantic or otherwise.
Necklaces
Necklaces are often considered the most practical of jewellery to give, they can be worn anywhere without interfering in everyday
activities. Gifting a necklace is often linked to strong affection and long-lasting care. The style of necklace really depends on your own
personal aesthetic; however, it is incredibly telling if the gift giver can choose a piece that they know you will like. Historically
necklaces, particularly amulets, were gifted as protection charms, and while you may believe that these talismans don’t work, the thought
behind gifting a necklace still carries a sense of affection and care.
