Listen, we’re not someone to turn away jewellery as a gift. We’re just saying the best person to give it to you is you. You have better taste than anyone else, you know what you like, and you can appreciate how much you deserve a piece of something that glitters and shines.
Need more convincing? Just scroll through these jewellery-to-gift-yourself picks. We’ve been writing about jewellery for the better part of two decades, and I can’t help but inspect each one for a few key features:
- Looks expensive – even if it’s not.
- Doesn’t look basic, but not too trendy either.
- Will make even the simplest of minimalist fits look perfectly styled.
- And worthy of taking out of the jewellery box on a ho-hum day, to a special evening.
Your reason for buying jewellery for yourself is as personal as your skivvies, and we’re not here to judge. If you want to celebrate the holidays, your birthday, a promotion, finishing a continuing-ed course with something that’s $20 or $10,000, that’s up to you and your savings. I just want you to enjoy looking at a few pretty things today. Here is a selection of jewellery that is either made in Canada or available for purchase in Canada, or can be sent to Canada.
(But do let us know if you treated yourself to a little something-something you see here.)
Sustainable and eco-friendly gifts for every friend and family member on your list.
