bloom jewelry holiday gift guide

Many cultures have gift-giving traditions during the holiday season. The acts of giving, sharing, and receiving are often joyful events, engendering warm feelings of gratitude, togetherness, and feeling seen, appreciated, and loved. Bloom Jewelry exists to help create such moments between loved ones. Each piece of jewelry we create is designed with that moment in mind. 

Of course, the hard part is picking out exactly the right gifts. That’s why we’re here with our 2024 Holiday Gift Guide, chock-full of glittering gift ideas at every price point. Time to start spreading that glorious holiday sparkle and shine!

#1 Bestselling Gifts Under $100

Give the gift of handcrafted and hand-picked this holiday season without breaking the bank. Bloom’s curated list of our bestselling gifts under $100 is here to help! This collection of 100+ gifts offers a bounty of tried-and-tested inspiration, whether you’re shopping for a best friend, sister, mother, daughter — or simply a well-deserved stocking stuffer for yourself.  

Bloom Pick: Our Signature Double Wrapped Hammered Cuff Bangle — a long-time customer favorite — is adjustable, meaning one size genuinely fits anyone’s wrist on your holiday shopping list. Bangles are either 24k Gold Plating or Sterling Silver Plating, finished with your choice of 14k Gold Filled or Sterling Silver hand wrapping. 

Bloom Pick: These striking Malachite Stardust Drop Earrings (available in 14k Gold Filled or Sterling Silver) feature Malachite teardrop gemstones, each of which has one-of-a-kind patterning. Known as both a stone of protection and transformation, Malachite makes a wonderfully meaningful gift.

#2 Best Sellers in Every Category

Sometimes you have an idea of *what* someone might want — like a ring, bracelet, necklace, anklet, or pair of earrings, or even a favorite gemstone — and may simply need inspiration in that category. Why not ask Bloom’s customers to share their favorites? That’s exactly what you’ll find on our “Best Sellers” pages. Just choose a category and start exploring.


Bloom Pick: These Labradorite Tear Drop Earrings shine and shimmer in the candlelight, starlight, sunlight, or even those sometimes dastardly office lights. Labradorite is thought to promote the wearer’s ability to connect with their inner light, making it an excellent choice for anyone in search of creativity, truth, self-worth, or inner strength — or for anyone who just appreciates a fantastic pair of earrings.

Bloom Pick: This customer-favorite Pearl & 14k Gold FIlled Filigree Layering Necklace is a truly timeless layering necklace that goes with pretty much anything. Pearl gemstones are hand wrapped to 14k Gold Filled textured filigree chain. (If you’ve forgotten why Gold Filled is generally superior to Gold Plated, here’s a reminder!)

#3 Favorite New Releases

I created Bloom’s new Mystic Collection as a celebration of the magical, happy colors of the gemstones it features: Lapis (blue), Amethyst (purple), Chrysoprase (apple green), Carnelian (orange), Chalcedony (various), Quartz (various), Onyx (black), Jade (light green), Citrine (yellow), Emerald (medium green), and Opal (white/rainbow or green). To me, this collection calls to mind the wonderful time I spent in the seaside town of Mystic, Connecticut, when I was growing up. We visited frequently, and I loved walking around Mystic Seaport, grabbing a slice at Mystic Pizza (made famous both by the iconic pizza and Julia Roberts’ smile), and most especially exploring a boutique called the Mystic Emporium. Every time I walked in, I always felt like I was on a magical treasure hunt — and to me, these pieces absolutely feel like one-of-a-kind treasures. I hope you and your loved ones are as delighted by the pieces as I am.

Bloom Pick: A fast favorite in our latest collection is the Mystic Gemstone Magnetic Bracelet. Yes, we said magnetic, so you can expect no fuss or frustration getting your bracelet on or off. Also, it’s adjustable to different wrist sizes, so you can easily get it to fit snug so the gemstones stay in place.  The beautiful pattern of vibrant gemstones, paired with two sizes of paperclip chain, will mean you never want to take this bracelet off.

Bloom Pick: My favorite piece has to be this gemstone-laden Mystic Paperclip Duo Necklace, which unites a one-of-a-kind array of gemstones with two sizes of 14k Gold Filled paperclip chains. What I love most is its versatility, as it can be worn in several ways: Clasp above the gemstones for a lariat Y necklace, or directly to the toggle closure for a great layering piece. Both looks have a pearl drop, and either styling allows for added charms for yet another look. See the secondary photos at the link below to see all ways to style this necklace. Wearing it never fails to give me a smile — maybe your loved one will feel the same.

#4 On-Trend Charm Necklaces and Bracelets

Bloom’s Charm Bar serves up beautiful, customized gifts for anyone on your list. Our easy-to-use web page walks you through the process, which starts by choosing a chain. Next, you’ll explore a range of gemstone, birthstone, enamel, metal, heart, evil eye, and diamond charms. The Charm Bar makes it easy to put together a gift that’s truly made for your loved one.

Bloom Pick: Each Mystic Linear Charm brings together a one-of-a-kind array of some of my favorite gemstones to make a cheerful and colorful addition to any chain or charm bracelet. Gemstones may include Lapis, Amethyst, Chrysoprase, Carnelian, Chalcedony, Quartz, Onyx, Jade, Citrine, Emerald, or Opal.

Bloom Pick: These adorable and on-trend Evil Eye Enamel & Gemstone Charms help your charm gift symbolize protection from any bad luck wished on the wearer. Available in five different color and gemstone combinations, charms feature an Opal or a Moonstone on gray, turquoise, or ivory enamel.

#5 Stones of Protection: Malachite and Turquoise

Can’t we all use a little protection and positivity every now and again? Many gemstones have earned the reputation of being “stones of protection,” with supposed meanings and healing properties focused on protecting wearers from any harms that may be surrounding them. Whatever your opinions about such things, the symbolism alone can add a lovely layer of meaning to any gift. This holiday season, I have two particular favorites in this category: 

  • Malachite is purported to absorb negative energies, ground the emotions, and increase positivity. In the Middle Ages, people carried Malachite for protection against witchcraft, the evil eye, sickness, and depression. 
  • Turquoise is commonly thought to promote good fortune and health and protect wearers from evil. It is said to be good for getting rid of bad habits and negative emotions, supporting feelings of peace and tranquility, and engendering self-awareness. 

Both gemstones make great gifts for travelers, new graduates, or really anyone embarking on a new challenge.

Bloom Pick: New to the collection this season, the Turquoise Mariner Magnetic Bracelet is a must-have. Comprising two chain bracelets all in one, this gorgeous bracelet features a 14k Gold Filled mariner chain and a 14k Gold Filled turquoise enamel chain — all connected by a magnetic clasp for effortless ease in taking the bracelet on or off.

Bloom Pick: This incredible Malachite Freeform Toggle Necklace is a definite studio favorite from this season’s Malachite Collection. Malachite’s unique marbling pattern lends each necklace a one-of-a-kind look, and the chain mixes two of our most popular 14k Gold Filled chains. A true stunner!

#6 Positively Pearl Perfection

Pearls, which symbolize loyalty, prosperity, and truth, make for a truly timeless jewelry gift. Today’s Pearl jewelry styles reach far beyond your great aunt Edith’s classic Pearl choker. Bloom’s Pearl Collection proudly arrays Pearls with a wide range of personalities. We’ve got something for everyone, including rough, organic, baroque-style Pearls, elegant Pearl coins paired with Diamond slices or gemstones, filigree chains dotted with tiny, delicate Pearls, and so much more.

Bloom Pick: Our Pearl Gold Paperclip Huggies deliver sophistication and polish in spades. Equally at home at a holiday party, the office, or brunch with friends, these 18k Gold Filled earrings are designed to last a lifetime.

Bloom Pick: Simple, elegant, and subtle, this Pearl 5 Drop 14k Gold Filled Delicate Necklace is 18.5” long, available in Sterling Silver or 14k Gold Filled, and destined to be a timeless layering necklace that your loved one will reach for regularly.

#7 Layering Necklaces With Signature Style 

The layered look has been gaining momentum over the past few years — and we’d readily wager that the trend will never go out of style. A Bloom Signature necklace, bracelet, or anklet is a perfect place to start or supplement a collection of layering jewelry. Choose from 14k Gold Filled, Sterling Silver, or Mixed Metals in a range of styles, including paperclip, curb chain, rosary, antique, filigree, and more. We’ve also thrown in a selection of earrings that coordinate with these Bloom Signature favorites.

Bloom Pick: You really can’t go wrong with Bloom’s Gold Herringbone Necklace (14k Gold Filled), which has the elegant presence to stand alone but the plays-nice-with-others vibe that make it shine in any layered look. Choose between 16” or 18” chains; also available in Sterling Silver.

Bloom Pick: The Box Chain Toggle Necklace (pictured) is a big studio favorite for its texture, thickness, and vintage-yet-timeless vibe. The toggle clasp becomes an ornament itself when worn in the front, and the box chain is 18” (or your custom length). This necklace really shines in Bloom’s curated Golden Layers look! Pair it with the coordinating Box Chain Bracelet to make a great set.

#8 Birthstones for More Meaningful Gifts

Everybody has a birthday, every birthday translates to at least one birthstone — and each birthstone translates to a great holiday gift idea. Bloom’s Birthstones page organizes our best holiday gift picks by birthstone. Each birthstone also includes notes about the supposed meaning behind each, in the event you’re simply looking for a special gemstone to make your jewelry gift even more meaningful.

Bloom Pick: Did you know that Peridot is legitimately stardust? Indeed, our Peridot & Gold Filigree Bracelet is an adorably elegant embodiment of heaven and earth combined. Makes a perfect gift for someone born in August, since Peridot is the modern August birthstone — or for conveying a meaning of protection, good luck, harmony, and relationships.

Bloom Pick: Speaking of stardust, these lovely Tanzanite Tear Stardust Gold Drop Earrings (available in 14k Gold Filled or Sterling Silver) feature gorgeous Tanzanite gemstones on vermeil textured chain with our signature hand wrapping. Tanzanite is a traditional December birthstone; it also symbolizes intuition, transformation, and strength — theoretically helping wearers face emotional issues like fear and stress.


#9 Diamond Bestsellers for Optimum Sparkle

If you’ve made it this far down our holiday gift guide, you are clearly committed to finding just the right gift. Well, nobody anywhere ever was ever disappointed with a gift of Diamonds, so why not consider one of Bloom’s Diamond bestsellers?

Bloom Pick: Our Pave Diamond Delicate Necklaces are a longstanding bestseller on the more affordable side of Diamonds. Available in your choice of 16” or 18” Sterling Silver or 14k Gold Filled chains, we’ve got your gift list covered with five different pendant options: hexagon, leaf, dagger, cushion cut, or oval.

Bloom Pick: Looking to step up that Diamond look to the utmost in elegance and opulence? Look no further than our Pave Diamond Gold Huggies, which are 24k Gold set with Pave Diamonds. These classic earrings can be easily dressed up for a stylish night on the town or dressed down for everyday.

#10 Guarantee a Great Fit With a Gift Card or Custom Design Session
