The Precious Jewellery We’d Love to Find Under the Christmas Tree

Every year, December marks the start of the festivities… and the annual hunt for the perfect gift. Balancing originality with something truly meaningful can quickly feel like a tightrope act. Yet one present never loses its magic: jewellery. Timeless, symbolic, and often more accessible than expected, it’s a gift that always delights. Dive into the collections of iconic jewellery Maisons and you’ll find a constellation of dazzling pieces under €1,500—perfect for gifting (or treating yourself!) to a touch of holiday sparkle.

Among the jewels you never take off, the ultimate go-to is the bracelet that works every time. Gigi Clozeau’s 18k gold chain is adorned with colourful resin beads and finished with a personalised charm. For the holiday season, the In Love model features a slightly domed heart set with 13 diamonds.

Messika’s iconic Move Uno line comes in a yellow gold diamond-pavé ring just in time for the holidays. At the centre of its graphic silhouette, a brilliant-cut diamond floats freely—an emblematic detail that captures Messika’s playful approach to fine jewellery.

Designed by TASAKI’s creative director Thakoon Panichgul, the balance collection revisits pearls with striking graphic purity. In pendant form, its sculptural aesthetic pairs an Akoya pearl with a birthstone—from citrine to peridot to luminous aquamarine.

Treasure-hunters, take note: Cartier’s website is a gold mine for exclusive pieces. Among its gems, the Cartier d’Amour bracelet stands out with its brilliant-cut diamond suspended from an ultra-fine gold chain. A masterclass in pared-back elegance.

Launched in 2023, Gemmyo’s Entaille solar motif has quickly become a signature. Hand-sculpted by French artisans, it captures light through an inner diamond-set halo. In yellow, rose, or white gold, the Entaille Rayons S Pavé bracelet brings effortless radiance to the wrist.

In recent seasons, the ear has become an expressive playground. Boucheron embraces the trend with the mini Quatre Clou de Paris ear cuff in yellow gold. Bold, sculptural, and unmistakably contemporary, it channels the Maison’s iconic Quatre motif launched in 2004.

Mauboussin’s signature star takes on a freer, elongated shape in this contemporary design. The Envie de Star ring plays on contrasts: sterling silver meets a yellow-gold star pavé-set with white diamonds. A magnetic duo.

Inspired by French formal gardens, Mellerio’s Mini Giardino line celebrates ornate landscaping. Rose-gold arabesques form a sculptural floral motif, enhanced by the interplay between polished and beaded gold. At its heart lies a sapphire—a nod to the Maison’s love of colour.

Some will see a wind-swept kite; others, a modern take on the toi et moi design crafted with trillion-cut diamonds. Whatever the interpretation, AHKAH (TASAKI’s sister Maison) enchants with airy, poetic lines.
Diamond kite ear cuff, Ahkah, €1,060

Named after the cliffs of Normandy, Repossi’s Antifer collection plays with breaks and asymmetry—an aesthetic that has become a House signature over the past decade. The two-row Antifer hoop captures the collection’s spirit: a clean circle topped with a sharp peak, echoing Repossi’s stacked-ring identity.
