Make Gifting Memorable with Cuttings Jewellers

Gift box.jpgChoosing a gift for a special occasion can be a stressful task. How can you make it memorable, yet practical? It can be especially difficult if the recipient is difficult to buy for.

But look no further, because a carefully chosen piece of jewellery or watch is guaranteed to be remembered and treasured for a lifetime.

 

 


Birthstone Jewellery


Wearing birthstone jewellery first became popular in Poland in the 18th Century, and still remains to be a special gift, whether you believe in the myths and symbolism associated with them or not. In addition to making a fabulous birthday gift, this type of jewellery could also be given to a new Mum to represent the month of their baby’s birth.

Gifts for Men


If you want to give a memorable gift to a special man in your life, a watch is practical, yet thoughtful, whether you buy it yourself or bring him along with you to choose it. Here at Cuttings we carry a wide range of new and pre-owned luxury watches, and are here to give advice if you are searching for the perfect gift!


You could also invest in a gold coin, such as a Sovereign or Kruger Rand. Some men are typically difficult to buy for; they are either very specific about what they want, or they seem to have everything already. A gold coin is perfect in this instance, as it is small, easy to store, and increases in value over time.


Wedding Anniversaries


Traditionally, wedding anniversaries are celebrated with a specific material each year, with paper for the first year, and stronger materials as the marriage develops. If you are approaching a significant wedding anniversary, a piece of jewellery featuring the material of that year would make a very memorable gift.

 

  • 25 – Silver
  • 30 – Pearl
  • 40 – Ruby
  • 45 – Sapphire
  • 50 – Gold
  • 55 – Emerald
  • 60 – Diamond
  • 70 – Platinum


However, if you don’t want to wait until your 25th anniversary to start giving silver, gold, diamonds and sapphires, there is nothing stopping you from giving these gifts earlier in your marriage! Perhaps there was a limited budget when you were engaged – an anniversary would be the perfect time to upgrade your wife’s ring. An eternity ring, symbolising a lifelong commitment, would also be an ideal gift at any point during your marriage.


We hope this has given you some inspiration for choosing a memorable gift. If you would like any more help finding a gift for your loved one, please just give us a call or visit us in one of our shops.
