A jewellery set takes some of the guesswork out of gifting. The pieces are made to go together, so the person can wear them as a matched look or split them up for everyday outfits. Most sets are bought for a wife, girlfriend or sister, and the ones that get worn are usually simple: a pair of earrings that go with a pendant, or a thin bracelet with a stacking ring. Before choosing, look at what the person already wears. Do they wear gold or silver? Dainty or bold? Studs or drops? Pick a set that fits the jewellery they already own, and it will get worn long after the holidays.

Kind 1 of 8

Initial and sparkle necklaces

People searching for this usually want a pendant shaped like a letter, often with small sparkling stones set along it. An initial necklace feels personal without being fussy, which is why it works well for a partner or sister. Check that the letter is right, because it could be their first name, a partner's name or a child's name. Look at the chain length too, since a shorter chain sits at the collarbone and a longer one layers under other necklaces. A layered set that includes an initial pendant is a good choice for someone who already stacks chains.

Earring sets for everyday wear

An earring set gives several pairs in one gift, usually a mix of studs, small hoops or huggies. It suits someone with pierced ears who changes earrings often, or someone with more than one piercing per ear. Before buying, check that their ears are pierced and what metal they usually wear, and whether they like small, quiet studs or something with a little colour. A single good pair of studs can also count, since studs go with almost any other earrings they own. Opal and diamond studs both work as a base to build a set around.

Stackable ring sets

A ring set is usually a few thin bands meant to be worn together on one finger or spread across the hand. Stacking rings suit someone who already wears rings and likes to mix them. Ring size is the big hurdle. If you can, borrow a ring they wear on the right finger and have it measured, or choose a set with adjustable or open bands. Also check the band width and finish, since plain, textured and stone-set bands give different looks. A set that matches the metal of the rings they already have is the one they'll reach for most.

Kind 4 of 8

Hand chains and bracelet-ring pairs

This covers two ideas: a hand chain that links a bracelet to a ring, and a bracelet and ring sold as a matched pair. Hand chains suit someone who dresses up for events or likes a boho look. A separate bracelet and ring are easier to wear every day. Check the wrist size and ring size, and think about how the piece fits into their day, since chains across the hand can catch on knit sweaters. For someone who prefers a bold chain, a solid Cuban-link chain is another option in this style.

Matching sets she can mix

A classic women's set pairs a necklace with earrings, and sometimes adds a bracelet. It's a safe choice when you know the person's style but not the details of their jewellery box. Silver-tone sets are the easiest to wear with anything, including jeans and work clothes. Check the metal colour, the clasp type and whether the pieces look good worn separately. A set that only looks right as a full matched look often ends up saved for rare occasions.

Pearl necklace and earring sets

A pearl pendant with matching studs is a lasting classic. It suits someone who dresses for the office, attends formal events, or likes a polished, quiet look. Check the pearl size, since smaller pearls look modern and everyday while larger ones feel more formal. Also look at the setting metal and whether the necklace is a single pendant or a full strand. A pendant is easier to wear often. If the person already owns a pearl necklace, matching studs on their own can complete the set.

Bracelet sets for stacking

Bracelet sets usually include several thin bangles, chains or beaded strands meant to be worn together on one wrist. They suit someone who already stacks bracelets or wears a watch and likes to add a little more. Bolder sets pair a cuff with a statement necklace for a dressier look. Check wrist size or look for adjustable closures, and think about how much noise and bulk they're comfortable with at a desk or keyboard. Sets in one metal colour are easiest to add to what they already own.

Pearl sets and pearl studs

A pearl set can mean anything from studs and a pendant to a full strand with a bracelet. For most people, freshwater pearl studs are the piece that gets worn most, because they suit both jeans and formal wear. Pearl studs suit a first nice piece of jewellery, a milestone gift, or someone who likes classic style. Check the pearl size, the metal of the posts, and whether they prefer white or yellow gold. Studs are an easy starting point that can grow into a full set later.

How to choose jewelry sets as a gift

  • Match the metal colour to what they wear every day, since mixing gold and silver is a personal choice, not a given.
  • Choose pieces that look good worn on their own, so the set gets worn in many ways instead of all together once a year.
  • Borrow a ring or bracelet they already own to check sizes, or choose adjustable pieces when you can't find out.
  • Confirm pierced ears, and how many piercings, before picking an earring-heavy set.
  • Simple, smaller pieces usually get worn more often than big statement pieces, especially for work.

Usually safe to skip

  • Big, bold matching sets for someone who wears dainty pieces often end up in a drawer after the holidays.
  • Ring sets bought by guessing the size are likely to be exchanged or never worn.
  • Trendy novelty sets in a style they've never worn rarely fit into the jewellery they already have.

Questions people ask about jewelry sets

What jewellery set is safest to give if I don't know her style?
Go with a simple pendant and stud earrings in the metal she already wears most. Small, classic pieces like pearl or plain metal studs go with almost any outfit and still work alongside her other jewellery.
How do I find out someone's ring size without asking?
Borrow a ring they wear on the same finger and have it measured, or trace the inside of it on paper. If that isn't possible, pick an open or adjustable ring set, or give a necklace or earring set instead.
Should a jewellery set be gold or silver?
Look at the jewellery and watch they wear most days and match that. Silver and white-toned pieces go with most wardrobes, while yellow gold suits someone who already wears warm-toned pieces. If they mix both, either works.
