Pick a Tier to Start
Quick guide by typical occasion:
- Casual / first jewelry gift: $100–$400 — sterling silver or thin gold chain.
- Thoughtful birthday or holiday: $500–$1,500 — small diamond studs, real-gold initial pendant, classic huggie hoops.
- Anniversary or major milestone: $1,500–$5,000 — 0.50–1ct diamond studs, tennis-style bracelet, statement pendant.
- Major life milestone (engagement, 25th anniversary, push present): $5,000+ — engagement-quality stones, heirloom-grade commissions.
Most popular tier by volume: $500–$2,500. Substantial enough to feel meaningful, accessible enough for non-milestone gifting.
