A Christmas gift is remembered by how long it stays in use. Necklaces for Christmas gifts have an advantage here, since a pendant is worn through winter parties and ordinary Tuesdays alike, long after the wrapping has gone.
This guide looks at Monica Kosann jewelry, a designer whose lockets and charms suit the woman who prefers meaning to spectacle, with notes on metals, chain length, and timing for your Christmas gift ideas.
The Locket, Opened
Monica Rich Kosann trained as a portrait photographer, and her lockets are built around the image. Most open to hold two photographs, in shapes that range from a slim cushion to a tall rectangle, a compass, or a sunset with white sapphires. The full range of Monica Kosann jewelry at Koerber's includes sterling silver and 18k gold vermeil finished in blue enamel. A locket suits the recipient who keeps letters. Among necklaces for Christmas gifts, few carry so much private information in so small a space.
Charms With a Reason
The charm necklaces work differently. A bee with two white sapphires, a sundial in rock crystal, and a moon in silver and diamond: each refers to something specific, a family nickname, a year abroad, or a direction chosen. For Christmas necklaces for women who already own the standard gold chain, a charm gives the gift a subject. Browse necklaces for women at Koerber's to see charms beside simpler pendants.
Metal and Stone
The line is made in sterling silver and 18k gold. Silver has a cool, bright finish that suits white sapphire and rock crystal, while gold gives enamel and blue sapphire their depth. Match the metal to what she already wears: her earrings, her watch, and the ring she never removes. Diamond necklaces and pendants bring brilliance, and gemstone necklaces and pendants bring color and work well for a birthstone gift. The same method applies to Christmas gifts for women across the case: study what she wears, then buy to match.
Length and Budget
A 16-inch chain rests at the base of the neck, 18 inches falls at the collarbone, and 20 inches drops toward the breastbone. Lockets, with their weight, tend to hang well at 18 inches. A longer chain lets the wearer adjust for different necklines. For budget, Koerber's gathers gifts under $500, and the necklace selection extends well beyond that figure. Fix the number first and let the choices narrow.
