Eternity Rings 

Eternity rings are timeless symbols of commitment, featuring a continuous band of diamonds or gemstones that sparkle from every angle. Their meaning - everlasting love, loyalty, and celebration - makes them one of the most meaningful gifts you can give. Whether marking a milestone, an anniversary, or simply choosing a sentimental Holiday gift, a diamond eternity ring offers a luxurious and heartfelt gesture. Perfect for anyone who loves classic fine jewellery with emotional value.  

Micro Set - Holts Gems



Leaf-Design-Tiara-Diamond-Band-white-gold

In our collection, you’ll find beautifully crafted styles such as the Micro Diamond Set Band and the sleek Rub-Over Diamond Ring. Alongside these dazzling designs, our Channel-Set Baguette Landscape Eternity Ring offers a fresh, modern take on a classic. Its precisely cut landscape-set baguette diamonds create a sleek, contemporary line of sparkle – perfect for someone who values both style and refinement.  

For those drawn to something a little more intricate, the Leaf-Design Tiara Diamond Band is a beautiful choice. Delicately detailed with round brilliant diamonds in marquise-style settings, it evokes natural elegance and symbolises everlasting love. 

Gemstone Studs 

Gemstone stud earrings are the ultimate everyday luxury: versatile, colourful, and effortlessly elegant. Gemstone studs add subtle sparkle and personal meaning. Their wear-everyday appeal makes them a thoughtful Holiday gift for anyone who loves timeless jewellery that still feels unique. They’re easy to style, perfect for all ages, and guaranteed to become a go-to in any jewellery collection.  

In our collection, you’ll find beautifully crafted styles such as the Green Sapphire Earring Studs, offering a serene wash of colour with their crisp, cool hue. For something bolder, the electrifying Amethyst Stud Earrings bring vivid purple brilliance that instantly catches the eye. And for lovers of warm, rich tones, the Garnet Earring Studs deliver deep, luxurious colour - perfect for adding a touch of opulence to any holiday look. 

Cocktail Rings 

Bold and expressive, cocktail rings are made for the person who loves to stand out. Featuring oversized gemstones, sculptural settings, and vibrant colours, they bring instant drama to any look - ideal for festive dressing. As a holiday gift, a statement cocktail ring feels indulgent, fashion-forward, and wonderfully personal. It’s the perfect choice for someone with a strong sense of style or a love for gemstone jewellery with character.  

In our collection, you’ll find striking designs such as the sculptural 4.8ct aquamarine hexagon bezel ring, showcasing a mesmerising seas-blue hue, catching the light beautifully with its unique, irregular cut – an instant statement piece. Alongside it, the vintage-inspired yellow gold garnet trilogy ring, framed by two moissanites, elegantly symbolises past, present, and future. Together, they make meaningful heartfelt holiday gifts for someone who love jewellery with story, colour and character.  

A Holiday Look

Cocktail rings are perfect for adding drama to your holiday party outfits. Here, we styled our 10.78ct Pear Garnet and Topaz Ring with a rich burgundy draped mini dress to echo the ring’s deep red tones. Sleek black accessories - a patent leather heel and a structured top-handle bag - keep the look modern and elevated, while delicate Aurora Scallop diamond-set gold Huggies add just the right amount of sparkle without overpowering the statement centre stone.

A bold, festive look that lets the cocktail ring take centre stage. 

Stacking Rings 

Stacking rings allow the wearer to build their own story - mixing metals, shapes, gemstones, and textures for a personalised look. Lightweight, versatile, and endlessly collectible, they’re a thoughtful gift for someone who loves to curate their own jewellery style. A stackable ring adds a fresh layer to any existing collection and is ideal for everyday wear, making it a practical yet stylish Holiday gift for jewellery lovers.

Our stackable selection includes beautifully crafted pieces such as the 0.62ct Oval Bi-Colour Sapphire Bezel Ring, blending verdant greens with sunlit yellows in an unusual play of colour that feels truly entrancing. The vibrant 0.74ct Bi-Colour Sapphire Bezel Ring showcases a soft pink-mauve hue, exuding a unique charm and offering effortless versatility to complement any look. For something more delicate, the 0.44ct Round Bi-Colour Sapphire Bezel Ring reveals a mesmerising dance of natural hues from every angle - a small yet striking celebration of nature’s splendour. 

Gemstone Pendants 

Gemstone pendants offer a pop of colour and meaning, making them one of the most giftable pieces in fine jewellery. Gemstone necklaces feel deeply personal and beautifully symbolic. They layer effortlessly with other chains and can be worn daily, making them a fail-safe holiday gift with lasting sentiment.  

Our pendant collection features standout pieces such as the ‘Maple’ Fire Opal Charm Necklace – a true symbol of individuality – alongside the expressive green ‘Mistletoe’ Tourmaline Charm Necklace. For timeless elegance, the classic Oval Ruby and Diamond Halo Pendant pairs a rich ruby with a glittering diamond halo that beautifully accentuates its deep red hue.  

Meanwhile, the colourful Candy Cane’ Watermelon Tourmaline Charm Pendant Necklace showcases an emerald-cut, pink-to-green gemstone that strikes the perfect balance contemporary flair and vintage charm. 

A Holiday Look 

Layered pendants add instant personality to a festive outfit, and here we’ve styled our vibrant ‘Candy Cane’ Watermelon Tourmaline Pendant with the warm, honey-toned ‘Robin’ Citrine Charm Pendant for a rich, dimensional pop of colour. Paired with our Hazel Brown Diamond Charm Earrings, the jewellery brings a luxe, sparkling contrast to the outfit.

The deep mauve sequin camisole and velvet trousers create a chic, textural base, while the metallic shoulder bag and embellished sneakers keep the look fun, modern, and effortlessly festive. 

Dainty Gold 

Dainty gold jewellery is loved for its minimal, elegant aesthetic - perfect for everyday wear and easy to style with any outfit. From fine gold chains to delicate bracelets, these pieces make subtle yet luxurious gifts. Their timeless appeal means the recipient will wear them long after the holidays, making dainty gold jewellery a perfect Holiday gift for someone who loves understated elegance and modern simplicity.

Our dainty gold collection includes refined pieces such as the 9ct Gold Mariner Link Bracelet, featuring interlocking oval links that bring a subtle vintage-inspired elegance to any wrist. The delicate Diamond Scattered Circle Necklace offers a touch of understated sparkle with its stylish micro-set diamonds, perfect for everyday wear.  

Completing the trio, the sleek 18ct Yellow Gold Diamond Pave Triangle Earrings add a modern geometric edge, their pave-set diamonds catching the light with effortless sophistication.  

A Holiday Look  

Mixing metal tones gives this festive outfit a sleek, modern edge. We’ve paired our dainty gold Diamond Scattered Circle Necklace - offering just the right touch of sparkle for New Year’s celebrations - with our ‘Vale’ Blue Sapphire Charm Earrings, adding a cool pop of colour that contrasts beautifully with the look’s high-shine textures. The black sequin slip dress creates a refined, light-catching base, while tall black heeled boots sharpen the silhouette with effortless sophistication.

Finished with a metallic quilted shoulder bag that seamlessly ties the mixed-metal palette together, this ensemble feels glamorous, contemporary, and perfectly celebration-ready. 

Pearls 

Pearls bring natural sophistication, offering a soft glow that feels both classic and contemporary. Whether in earrings or necklaces, these iridescent gems add instant elegance. As a gift, pearls are meaningful, versatile, and suited to all personal styles - ideal for someone who appreciates heritage jewellery with a modern twist. Pearl jewellery is also a beautiful choice for winter gifting thanks to its warm sheen and timeless charm.  

Our pearl collection features beautifully detailed pieces such as the romantic ‘Sugar Plum’ Pink Spinel and Pearl Necklace, designed with a reversible charm that flips to reveal a shimmering slice of mother of pearl - a dual-style feature that allows an effortless transition between two distinct looks. The graceful Pink Tourmaline & Freshwater Pearl Drop Earrings showcase captivating cat’s-eye tourmalines suspended from off-round freshwater pearls, creating a soft, elegant movement.  

The lustrous 9ct Solid Gold Peridot & Freshwater Pearl Necklace pairs vivid green peridot with a glowing pearl for a fresh, uplifting pop of colour. Completing the collection, the luminous Multi-coloured Freshwater Pearl Necklace in White Gold features hand-selected pearls with subtle pinkish overtones, offering a refined palette that feels both modern and timeless. 

A Holiday Look

Pearls bring instant cohesion and softness to any festive outfit. Here, we paired our 9ct Solid Gold Peridot & Freshwater Pearl Necklace with a shimmering mint puff-sleeve dress to highlight the necklace’s delicate green peridot drop. Lumi pearl drop earrings and a sculptural grey pearl diamond band ring echo the luminous tones, creating a beautifully unified palette.

Finished with sleek white slingbacks and a pearl-trimmed clutch, this look blends modern elegance with whimsical holiday charm -  a perfect match for pearl lovers.

Bezel Earrings 

Bezel-set earrings are sleek, secure, and stylish - featuring gemstones encased in smooth metal for a modern, refined look. The bezel setting offers durability without sacrificing sparkle, making these earrings perfect for everyday wear. As a holiday gift, bezel earrings strike the balance between minimalism and luxury, offering a clean silhouette that suits any age and style.  

Our bezel-set selection includes elegant styles such as the radiant octagon laser-cut Citrine and Diamond Earrings, the charming Rub-over Heart-Shape Pink Sapphire Studs wrapped in 18k white gold for an utterly feminine finish, and the zesty Peridot and Diamond Earrings, glowing with their signature green hue. 

T-Bar Earrings 

T-bar earrings offer a contemporary twist on classic gold jewellery. With clean lines and modern geometry, they’re perfect for the minimalist who still wants something distinctive. Their sleek silhouette makes them ideal for everyday wear and easy to dress up for the festive season. As a gift, T-bar earrings feel fresh, stylish, and polished - a thoughtful option for someone who appreciates modern design.  

Our T-bar selection includes distinctive designs such as the striking ‘Pine’ Tourmaline Crystal T-bar Earrings, featuring a contemporary square-hoop silhouette, and the timeless 9ct Gold T-Bar Earrings, crafted with classic creole hoops that make them perfect for effortless everyday wear. 

A Holiday Look 

T-bar earrings pair beautifully with other coloured gemstones, creating a playful yet polished mix of tones. Here, we styled our ‘Pine’ Tourmaline Crystal T-Bar Earrings with a crisp white organza top and the sweetest black wide-leg trousers adorned with bow embroidery.

To enhance the gemstone story, we layered in the Garnet and Moissanite Cocktail Trilogy Ring, the 0.52ct Ruby Solitaire, and the ‘Sugar Plum’ Pearl Necklace - a harmonious blend of rich reds, soft pearls, and striking green tourmaline that brings depth and festive elegance to the whole outfit.
