For Best Friends: Solitaire Friendship Slider Set
The most complete set in this round-up is the Solitaire Friendship Slider Set. It includes a round pendant on a 43cm chain with a 5cm extender, a pair of 4mm stud earrings and a tennis-style bracelet set with 28 crystals. The bracelet has a slider closure that adjusts from 12cm to 24cm, so it fits almost any wrist. It comes in silver, 18k gold or rose gold plating, which makes it easy to match to the jewellery your friend already wears.
For Classic Taste: Pearl Drop Set
Pearls never really go out of fashion. The Pearl Drop Set pairs a pendant and drop earrings, each with a 7mm white shell pearl framed by small crystals. The earrings measure 26.5mm long with French hook fittings, so they move nicely without being heavy. It is a polished choice for a mother, aunt or colleague, and at 16 pounds it looks far more expensive than it is. Shop pearl jewellery at Philip Jones.
For Maximum Sparkle: Halo Set
If the person you are buying for loves sparkle, the Halo Set is the one to choose. The pendant has an 8mm centre stone surrounded by 18 smaller crystals, and the 10mm studs follow the same halo design. It is ideal for Christmas parties and New Year’s Eve, but simple enough to wear with a jumper on Boxing Day.
For Something Meaningful: Friendship Knot and Mum Sets
The Sterling Silver Friendship Quote Knot Set is made from sterling silver stamped 925, and it arrives with a quote card in its pouch, which makes it a thoughtful gift for a close friend. The knot pendant and matching 6mm studs are small enough to wear every day.
For mums, the Heart Mum Necklace and Earrings Set is the most affordable gift here at 11 pounds. The heart pendant and drop earrings are set with crystals, and the set is lightweight, so it is comfortable for all-day wear. Find gifts for Mum at Philip Jones.
For December Birthdays: Birthstone Sets
People with a birthday close to Christmas often feel their presents get combined. A birthstone set is a nice way to make the gift personal. The December Blue Topaz set includes a pendant with an 8mm blue crystal and matching 6mm studs, and it comes with two quote cards. Philip Jones offers birthstone sets for other months too, so the same idea works all year round.
Sterling Silver vs Plated: Which to Choose?
Most Philip Jones sets are silver or gold plated over a brass alloy, which keeps the price low while still giving a bright finish. The brand labels these pieces as hypoallergenic. If you are buying for someone who wears jewellery every day, or who wants a piece to last for years, the sterling silver sets stamped 925 are worth the extra few pounds. The Sterling Silver Round Solitaire Set, at 26 pounds, is a simple, versatile option with 4-prong set stones.
The crystals are created with Zircondia, which Philip Jones describes as premium cubic zirconia made using ethical, sustainable practices. Compare sterling silver and plated sets.
A Festive Extra: Christmas Tree Brooch
For Secret Santa or a stocking filler, the 18k gold plated Christmas Tree Brooch is set with 78 crystals in assorted colours and arrives in a Christmas pouch. It measures 58.5mm tall, so it shows up well on a coat or jumper.
