How to Choose the Perfect Personalised Jewellery Gift for Her

The story starts with a question: “What do I get her this year?” 

Tom and Sophie had been together for five years. Birthdays? Check. Christmas? Check. But this time was different. He wanted to gift Sophie something that felt … more. A gift that told her he’d been thinking about her, rather than something that had simply been clicked “Add to basket” on.

He walked past these same old high street windows, each of which twinkled with beautiful pieces, none of which told their story. That’s when it hit him! What if the twinkle wasn’t just about beauty but also about meaning? Enter: “Personalised Jewellery!”

Why Personalised Jewellery Is a Gift From the Heart

Why buy personalised jewellery?  Let’s face it, anyone can pop into a shop and buy a necklace or a ring. But when you take the time to customise something, it tells her one thing loud and clear, that you truly thought about her.

Personalised gifts in the UK have increased in popularity over the last several years, and it’s easy to see why. Whether it’s a piece that speaks to a shared memory, incorporates her birthstone or simply spells her initials, personalised jewellery is a step up. It’s not just about giving her something pretty, it’s about giving her something with significance.

When it comes to choosing a jewellery gift, especially jewellery for her, going the extra mile with personal touches speaks volumes.

Watching Her Style (Without Giving the Game Away)

Before you start designing a piece, check out her jewellery style. You don't need to scope out every piece she's worn since the age of five; just take a moment to quietly notice.

Does she wear more silver-toned pieces or gold-toned pieces?

Does she wear simple studs most days, or is she the type of person to throw on dramatic danglers?

Does she prefer bold statement jewellery, or does she like minimal jewellery?

Consider the life she leads as well, simple earrings will suit a nurse much better than they would someone in a creative industry, where more off-beat designs might suit. The essential consideration is about buying for the personality rather than what is in fashion.

Create Her Perfect Piece With Friendly Diamonds’ CYO Collection

Now here’s where it gets exciting.

At Friendly Diamonds, we believe every gift should come with a story and our CYO (Create Your Own) collection is just the way to tell it. This isn’t just picking jewellery off a shelf. This is designing something that’s truly hers from the ground up.

Begin by choosing a lab-grown diamond, the most ethical, brilliant and planet-friendly choice. Then, select the piece, ring, earrings or pendant.

For rings, you’ll choose the metal (white gold, yellow gold, rose gold or platinum), select the perfect ring size, and even add a custom engraving: a date, initials or secret message.

When choosing a pair of earrings, decide what metal she will prefer and choose the back type (push back or screw back), ensuring she will be comfortable in them.

For pendants, customise the chain length to get the drop just perfect. Whether she loves styles short and sharp or long and layered.

It’s the ultimate way to create a thoughtful jewellery gift that reflects her style, your relationship and your effort.

Jewellery Gift Ideas for Every Occasion

Not sure what kind of jewellery to go for? Here are a few ideas based on special moments that deserve extra sparkle:

Birthday

A pendant with her initial or birthstone feels simple, stylish, and ultra-personal. Opt for a rose-gold setting if she loves warm tones, or platinum for something sleeker and cooler.

Anniversary

Why not reimagine a version of her engagement ring in the modern day with a matching band or complementary pendant? Have it engraved with your anniversary date for a lasting memory.

Promotion or Milestone

Mark her career wins or personal milestones with a pair of personalised diamond earrings. Add a little sparkle for the woman who shines.

No matter what the occasion, there is nothing better than personalised jewellery to make the moment unforgettable.

The Joy of Creating (Almost) Together

Let's be honest, surprises are great, but thoughtful surprises? Even better.

Designing jewellery for her doesn't need to be scary. In fact, it can be quite a fun little journey to take together. Whether it’s sneakily finding out her preferences or roping in her best friend as an undercover stylist, there’s something quite magical about creating a piece from scratch.

And the best part? She’ll know you didn’t pick something up for her last-minute at the drugstore when she sees what’s in the box.

The Gifting Guide: Tips to Get It Right

Not sure where to start? Here’s a handy checklist to make your gift-planning go smoother than a polished diamond:

Understand the occasion. Is it romantic, a celebration or just a “thinking of you”?

Observe her. Watch the types of jewellery she wears on a daily basis.

Choose your item. Ring, pendant, or earrings, what fits her style best?

Pick out the diamond. For an ethical yet equally stunning choice, go for lab-grown.

Consider the setting. Choose her favourite metal and style.

Make it hers. Personalisation, whether it's engraving, chain length, or back type, really matters.

Check size and fit. Especially important for rings and chains.

Plan ahead. The custom pieces take a minute, but it’s worth every second.

Why Lab-Grown Diamonds Are the Modern Gifter’s Choice

Let’s talk ethics for a second. Traditional diamond mining? Not always the cleanest industry. Lab-grown diamonds, on the other hand, offer the same brilliance and beauty without the environmental impact. They’re kinder to the planet and your conscience.

When you choose Friendly Diamonds, you’re choosing a jewellery gift that shines for all the right reasons, inside and out.

FAQ About Choosing the Perfect Personalised Jewellery Gift for Her

Is personalised jewellery better than normal jewellery?

The personalised touch has an extra layer of thoughtfulness and sentiment that you don’t get with off-the-shelf pieces. It might be an engraving, a specific metal or a diamond you’ve picked out especially for her, but it acts as a signifier that you’ve gone that extra mile on her behalf. It takes a beautiful piece and makes it an unforgettable jewellery gift.

How do I know what type of jewellery she will like?

Start by paying attention to what she currently wears, whether she wears mostly gold or silver tones and likes dainty or bold designs. If you’re unsure, go for classic styles or ask for advice from a close friend. The great thing about personalised jewellery is that you can design it exactly to her taste, making it a perfect jewellery for her.

What occasions are best for gifting personalised jewellery?

The short answer? Any! Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, Christmas, graduation or just a “thinking of you” moment, personalised jewellery makes every event extra special. It’s a timeless jewellery gift that suits any milestone and shows her how much she means to you.

Is lab-grown diamond jewellery a good option for personalised gifting?

Absolutely! Lab-grown diamonds are very much real diamonds, just made in a more sustainable manner. They are ideal for anyone looking to give a luxurious and guilt-free jewellery gift to a loved one. Moreover, when personalised with Friendly Diamonds’ CYO collection, they make for exquisite pieces of personalised jewellery that she will cherish.

Can I personalise jewellery for her even if I don’t know her ring size?

Yes! If you don’t know her ring size, perhaps you could gift her a pendant or earrings instead - both can be personalised using our CYO collection. Both options will still allow you to create a meaningful and personalised jewellery gift without having to worry about sizes. And don’t fret because we’re here to help you in choosing the right jewellery for her.

Because She Deserves a Story, Not Just a Sparkle

A necklace inlaid with her initials. A ring with your words imprinted on the band. Earrings designed to fit every curve with love. Such is the power of personalised jewellery to turn a piece into a memory, a story, a memento.

Whether it’s a major milestone or just because she’s amazing and deserves the world (she does!), give her something as one-of-a-kind as she is.

Discover the CYO (Create Your Own) collection at Friendly Diamonds and start crafting the ideal jewellery gift, one that she is sure to cherish forever.
