How to Choose the PERFECT Gift: Handmade Jewelry Edition

How to Choose the PERFECT Gift: Handmade Jewelry Edition

Gift giving can be intimidating - but it really shouldn't be! With this handy guide, you will walk away confident in your ability to find the perfect piece of jewelry for gifting (no matter to whom you are giving it!).

But...Why Handmade?

Look, I love a good trip to Target. Pack up the baby, grab a coffee, and browse the sales.

But the mass-produced jewelry and clothing? It just doesn't hit like a small batch item from a small business.

Being able to tell your giftee where their items came from and show them how they were made is a meaningful experience!


The Perfect "Just Because!" Gift

Special occasions are the best time to give someone a surprise - pick an item that is similar in vibe to their style, but maybe something they would not choose for themselves.

Ex: Your bestie loves pink, but needs some more neutral pieces. Go for a dainty beaded choker in multiple colors - bringing in some of her favorite shades of pink or purple, while also letting her lean into something new!


Happy Birthday - Pick Your Own Gift!

Gift cards are a PERFECT way to gift someone a meaningful item without having to subtly ask how long they like their earrings or if they prefer chokers over pendant necklaces!

Jasper & Elm gift cards come in a wide variety of price points, meaning you can choose exactly how much you want to spend!

As an added bonus, these are delivered via email - send it to yourself to print the code in a card or send directly to the birthday person!

Do I Hear Wedding Bells?

When I was a bride, I would have loved to receive a special jewelry item for one of the many special events - engagement photos, bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner, post-wedding brunch, etc.

From delicate earrings to statement necklaces and vice versa, there are tons of bridal options.

Simplify the search and do a custom request with the bride's favorite gemstones or wedding colors!

PS: You can even order custom earrings for the bridal party, too!

PPS: this applies for anniversaries too...nothing says "I love you" like a custom set of earrings and necklace!

Graduates Get Gifts, Too!

My favorite college graduation gift was a pair of earrings my parents gave me. Elegant, understated, but perfect for starting out my career in fundraising! Every grad needs a little something like that, whether they are graduating high school, college, or a certification program!

Classic pearls never go out of style, and pair well with anything in their wardrobe. However, you also cannot go wrong with a statement necklace

Make a Thoughtful Statement

Gift giving can be stressful, but now that you have this handy list of ideas you cannot go wrong! Enjoy the time you get to spend browsing the latest drop to find a perfect pair of earrings or necklace.
