A Curator’s Guide to Giving Jewellery

Choosing jewellery for someone else is easier when you begin with her, not the occasion. What shapes does she wear? Does she reach for quiet, sculptural pieces, or something with a little more presence? At inSync design, Iris creates wearable art jewellery for creative women who like their personal style to feel considered and individual.

Choose a piece that feels like her

Notice the jewellery she already wears. If she favours earrings, explore the earring collection; for someone who loves an unexpected detail on a jacket, scarf or knit, browse sculptural brooches. A useful gift does not need to match everything. It should feel like a piece she will enjoy making her own.

Think about comfort as well as form

Consider how she likes jewellery to sit and move. If she prefers lighter earrings, our guide to lightweight earrings, metals and finishes explains the materials and finishes used across the collection. You can also read what to wear when you want to look creative but understated for a sense of how a sculptural piece can sit within a quieter wardrobe.

When you are not sure

A inSync design gift card lets her choose the shape that speaks to her. Gift wrapping is available as an optional add-on: view gift wrap.

Jewellery is a personal gift. Choose something that makes you think of her, and leave room for her to wear it in her own way.

Gifts for women who love art and design

For Christmas, a birthday or a personal thank you, think about the way she sees the world. A love of drawing, architecture or colour can be a useful starting point.

For the woman drawn to a simple line

Loop Stud Earrings in Matt Gold offer a compact, sculptural shape. They are a gentle way to flirt with boldness for someone who prefers smaller earrings.

For the woman who notices colour

Scribble Brooch in Claret brings a drawn line to a jacket or knit. Consider the colours she returns to, and the fabric she would like to wear it on.

For the woman with an architectural eye

X2 Stone Earrings in Raw + Black bring contrasting finishes into one composition. They are worth exploring for someone who enjoys shape, balance and a restrained palette.
