The Best Fine Jewelry Gifts for the Holidays
Diamond Stud Earrings
The most universal “yes.” Choose round or princess cuts for timeless sparkle, or ovals and cushions for a softer, modern profile: ideal first fine-jewelry gift—and an instant daily staple in holiday jewelry wardrobes.
Tennis Bracelets & Line Necklaces
A continuous line of diamonds radiates effortless elegance. From delicate everyday pieces to red-carpet statements, these holiday jewelry gifts are forever favorites.
Pendants & Layering Chains
Solitaires, bezels, and station necklaces layer beautifully over winter knits and silk blouses. Personalize with initials, birthstones, or symbolic motifs for added sentiment.
Right-Hand Rings
Celebrate a promotion, graduation, or personal milestone with sculptural bands, east-west silhouettes, or a colored-gem halo. A signature piece that says “well done” every time it catches the light.
One-of-a-Kind Vintage & Inspired
For the collector at heart, explore character-rich designs you won’t see anywhere else in our Vintage & Inspired Collection—from Art Deco filigree to mid-century glamour.

- Last on, first off: Jewelry after skincare and fragrance; remove before workouts and pools.
- Gentle clean: Mild soap, warm water, soft brush; rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Smart storage: Separate pouches or compartments; clasp chains before storing.
- Routine checkups: Stop by Reiner’s for quick cleanings and prong inspections—especially before travel and events.
