Several Timeless and Timeless Jewelry Gifts for Her that Will Never Go Out of Style

Fashion often means change, which can be detrimental to the planet and our budgets. The fast-fashion industry in particular has come under intense scrutiny, as tons of cheap, poorly made clothing end up in landfills. The jewelry market is not immune.

Cheap, trendy and poor quality jewelry produces a huge amount of fashion waste every year, polluting the environment. No one wants that.

So while you may be pampering your loved one, we encourage you to make sure that when you buy her the gift of jewelry, you’re doing your part to be kind to the planet.

Instead of following fashion, look for timeless jewelry gifts. Also invest in precious metal jewelry. Not only does it look better and wear better, but the metal itself retains its value and can be recycled over and over again in perpetuity.

Here’s some jewelry she’ll still love for years to come. Let’s dive in…

1. pearls in any form

   For something truly timeless, it’s hard to find a more revered gemstone or piece of jewelry than a pearl. The oldest pearls found in human settlements are Abu Dhabi pearls, which are about 8,000 years old (talk about a timeless jewelry gift! ).

In modern times, pearls are used in all kinds of jewelry, from rings to earrings to bracelets. Of course, their most iconic use is the classic pearl strand necklace. This is by far their most iconic application.

Pearls are also very popular right now, making them a great choice for gifts that are both timely and timeless. They are also a traditional gift for 30th anniversaries, making them the jewelry of choice for long-term lovers.

2. hoop earrings

   Hoop earrings are another timeless design. Although they are now considered a popular trend, the oldest surviving examples of hoops date back to around 2500 BC. So, like pearls, it’s hard to argue that they’re just a fad.

That’s partly because their simple, classic shape gives them a unique, practical quality. Hoop earrings draw attention to the face and are perfect for highlighting one’s features. Because their design is so simple, they are suitable for a variety of occasions.

That’s not to say there aren’t different ways to wear hoop earrings. For example, larger or more ornate hoops are a great way to express individuality. Meanwhile, smaller, simpler hoops are a conservative option, but can still catch the eye while highlighting one’s inner beauty.

3. Necklaces and bracelets

   Chains are another jewelry design you’ll see a lot of these days. But like pearls and rings, they are an example of jewelry that has been around for thousands of years (and probably since jewelry has existed).

The recent trend has been toward large, bulky chains, but more elaborate chains are more likely to be closet essentials that stand the test of time. However, wearing multiple chains of different styles and lengths in a layered fashion is a popular way to achieve the best of both worlds.

Not that you need to create a jewelry gift box entirely out of chains. A basic gold or silver necklace is a timeless gift in its own right, as are more unique chain designs that are more striking, yet still timeless.

Delicate chains are one of the most versatile pieces of jewelry in your closet. They are almost always appropriate for work wear and are suitable for most social events. Of course, delicate chains can also come with pendants, and smaller pendants are appropriate for most occasions (read more about pendants below).

Chains are particularly well suited to simple, timeless outfits, such as a little black dress for special occasions. But they are also a great accent for casual outfits that are already filled with lots of patterns or other accessories.

Chain bracelets are also popular. For example, whenever you see a charm bracelet, it almost always takes the form of a simple gold or silver chain, with the charm being the main feature.

Chain jewelry will never go out of style for the simple reason that almost any outfit can be enhanced with the luxurious shine of a strand of metal.

4. Pendants and lockets

   Neck accessories will always be in vogue. The first piece of jewelry worn by a human being was probably a simple piece made of string and adorned with beads or other simple ornaments.
