Christmas is almost here and you might be wondering what to buy for that special someone in your life, or perhaps you’re looking for the perfect accessory for yourself to wear at a celebratory occasion. Jewellery is a timeless choice, particularly if it has an authentic link to the heritage of the country, such as a silver love spoon pendant necklace or earrings. 

These unique designs are available exclusively on our website and they represent Welsh culture and the human gifts of love, loyalty, and unity. If you are unsure whether earrings or a pendant necklace would be the right choice, here’s a quick guide to help you decide!

Earrings

Earrings have been worn by women since the earliest days of civilization. Originally, they were a symbol of power, status, and wealth, because only those at the upper reaches of society could afford jewellery. Over time as materials became more affordable and designs were more varied, earrings became a more widely accessible, though still aspirational, item.

The right pair of earrings will frame the face beautifully, enhancing its natural proportions and symmetry and drawing attention to the eyes. They also express individual personality and style, and help to create an overall impression of a sophisticated and well put together outfit. 

Pendant necklaces

Pendant necklaces are a traditional symbol of femininity and elegance, and perfect for showcasing delicate designs such as Celtic knotwork and hearts. The special meaning of the love spoon designs means they are an ideal gift for a cherished person in your life, such as a partner, spouse, or family member. 

The necklaces can be worn to add a touch of interest to a plain dress or business attire, or layered with multiple necklaces of different lengths for a fashionable and youthful look. 

Tips for choosing

If the jewellery is for yourself, consider if you would like it for everyday wear, or for special occasions only. Earrings might be a more practical option for daily use, while a necklace can be used as a centrepiece to complete your best outfits when you want a memorable and polished look. 

If the gift is for someone else, then of course the first point to consider is if the person has pierced ears. If so, notice what type of earrings they usually wear and what their personal style is. If they are a person who loves jewellery and already has many items, a love spoon pendant will make a striking addition to their collection. 

Why not buy a matching set?

Of course, there’s no need to choose between the two items if you can’t decide: you can always buy both earrings and a necklace. This will create a stunning coordinated look and is sure to make the wearer radiant with confidence, happiness and style.
