Every gift is under $50, ships free in the US and arrives ready to wrap.

Gifts for mom
Moms tend to wear what feels personal. A gemstone necklace with a clear meaning is an easy win, because you can tell her why you chose it in the card.

- Rose Quartz Saint Benedict Medal Necklace ($38): rose quartz, the stone of love, paired with one of the most beloved Catholic medals.
- Essential Pearl Set ($44): pearl earrings and a matching bracelet she will wear to every Christmas lunch for years.
Gifts for Catholic loved ones
Devotional jewelry is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give at Christmas, the feast that is at the heart of the Christian year. Look for pieces that can be worn every day, not only at Mass.
- Virgin Mary Medallion Necklace & Stud Earrings Set ($25): a complete, ready-to-gift set for goddaughters and confirmation candidates.
- Midnight Rosary Necklace ($34): one of our best sellers, a modern rosary-style chain with a cross.
- Our Lady of Guadalupe Pin Brooch ($19): perfect for a coat lapel. The feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe falls on December 12, just in time for Advent.

Gifts for your best friend or sister
Choose something that matches her style rather than yours. Is she bold, boho or classic?
- Bold: an Amazonite Chunky Statement Ring ($28). Adjustable, so you don't need her ring size.
- Boho: the Evil Eye Cuff & Heishi Necklace Set ($28), a protection symbol found in cultures all over the Mediterranean.
- Classic: a Birthstone Gemstone Necklace ($28) in her birth month color.
Stocking stuffers under $20

Ready-to-gift jewelry sets

How to choose a jewelry gift you are sure she'll love
- Look at what she already wears. Gold or silver tones? Small studs or big earrings? Match that.
- Pick adjustable when in doubt. Adjustable rings and long chains remove the sizing risk.
- Give the meaning, not just the piece. Write one line in the card about why you chose that stone or medal. Our gemstone meanings guide helps.
- Order early. Order by mid-December for delivery before Christmas in the US.
