10 Holiday Gift Ideas for Your (Jewelry-Loving) Staff and Coworkers

While nothing beats the gift of a holiday bonus doled out in cash, or failing that, a few days of paid time off after the holiday rush, giving your employees a present of some sort is always a good idea. It’s a way to show your appreciation, boost morale during your busiest season, and otherwise spread some festive good cheer.

 

Where to begin? Below is a gift guide featuring ideas that have a compelling tie-in to the thing that unites all of us: gems and jewelry. Some simply have the luster of luxury—a flash of rose gold here, a vibrant jewel tone there—that nods to the world jewelry professionals inhabit. And all of our picks are almost certainly something one would never buy for themselves; they definitely live in the rare indulgence/special treat category (and that’s the whole point).

 

If you’re a retailer, remember that quite a few of these lines wholesale their goods so that’s a win for your wallet (minimum orders may apply). And if you work for a supplier with a ton of employees based here, there, and everywhere, then most of these ideas can be recast as client appreciation gifts.

 

We don’t have to mention shipping delays because…well, you know better than anyone that this is not the year to procrastinate. So, take a look, “add to cart,” and get back to work!
