Choosing fine jewelry for the holidays should be a joyful experience, not a guessing game. That’s why we at Argo & Lehne Jewelers in Upper Arlington have gathered our favorite insider tips to make gift selection simple and inspired. With our guidance, discover a piece that sparkles as brightly as she does.

Tips for Choosing the Perfect Holiday Jewelry Gift

1. Think About Personal Style

Take a moment to notice the jewelry she already wears. Is she drawn to classic and understated pieces, romantic and whimsical designs, or bold, statement-making jewelry? Matching their style ensures your gift feels thoughtful and truly “them.”

Do they have a preferred metal type – cool sterling/white gold/platinum or warm yellow/rose gold?

Example: Romantic & whimsical – 18K two-toned gold floral earrings with white & yellow diamonds

2. Set a Thoughtful Budget

Jewelry gifts don’t have to break the bank. Determine an appropriate budget first — extravagant gifts are not always the most desirable. Know that even modest pieces, like a delicate gold chain, meaningful charm, or gemstone studs, can feel luxurious and personal. Remember, it really is the thought and aptness of the gift that matters most. Our Holiday Gift Guide presents many fantastic gift ideas organized into 3 price categories to fit any budget.

Example: Chic & versatile sterling silver puffed marina link chain necklace

4. Choose Something Meaningful

Jewelry often becomes part of our life’s story. Look for a piece with symbolic, sentimental or personal meaning — perhaps a birthstone, a moon-and-stars motif, or a design that represents love, luck, or new beginnings. These thoughtful touches transform a beautiful piece into a keepsake.

Example: October birthstone opal in a sleek bezel set pendant.

5. Go for Timeless Over Trendy

While fashion shifts, fine jewelry is forever. Classic diamond studs, elegant pearls, or a simple gold pendant never go out of style — and they’ll be worn and cherished for generations to come.

Example: Elegant Tahitian pearl stud earrings.

 

6. Personalize It

Add a heartfelt touch with engraving or custom design. Here at Argo & Lehne, our jewelers create or modify pieces to include initials, special dates, or gemstones that tell your shared story.

If you’re thinking of custom work or a special order, don’t wait – come in right away to be sure it’s done by Christmas.

Example: Initial pendant in yellow gold & sparkling diamonds, available by special order with any letter.

7. Consider Her Lifestyle

Think about her daily routine. If she’s active or prefers subtle elegance, a sleek bracelet or stud earrings may be perfect. For someone who loves to make an entrance, a statement ring or gemstone pendant might be just the thing.

Example: Diamond stud earrings – always right! Available in many sizes & prices.

8. Take Advantage of Argo & Lehne Wishlists

9. Be Thoughtful But Don’t Overthink It

Remember, the thought and care behind your gift matter more than anything else. You’ve chosen a piece that speaks to your heart and reflects your loved one’s style. More often than not, the sentiment and meaning behind a carefully chosen piece — and the bond it represents — will shine brighter than the jewelry itself.
