Timeless designs alongside exceptional and symbolic jewellery pieces are taking centrestage at jewellery shops in time for the holiday season.

Diamond jewellery retailer Forevermark is offering classic diamond jewellery pieces as Christmas gifts to celebrate personal relationships and strengthen commitments amid these trying times. Apart from the beloved solitaire diamond ring, pendants with flexible designs as well as stud earrings and diamond jewellery sets likewise symbolise authenticity and love.

Gifting special items is another holiday retail trend. Fabergé’s latest addition to its Heritage collection is an 18-karat rose gold egg pendant decorated with midnight blue guilloché enamel and set with 15 brilliant cut white diamonds. Inside, a white gold polar bear encased in white enamel with black diamond eyes sits atop a rock crystal base.

This locket is inspired by a special bear, whose story links European aristocracy with one of America’s most revered families – the Vanderbilts. 

Jewellery pieces that honour culture and tradition are also gaining steam in the market as Christmas season approaches. Jeweller John Hardy is offering fine jewellery pieces inspired by the rich heritage of Bali. These collections include the Classic Chain, which symbolises bonding; Legends Naga, which pays homage to the mythical water dragon Naga as guardian and protector; and Keris Dagger, which was inspired by Bali’s traditional weapon as a mark of strength and heroic power.
