While fashion trends move at breakneck speed, jewellery is far more constant.
When on the hunt for the perfect present for the jewellery lover in your life, you can be certain that if you stick to the enduring favourites, you cannot go wrong. These include diamonds in any form, gold hoop earrings, initial or name necklaces or bracelets and stud earrings. You don’t need to know size and while the box may be small, it will have a big impact.
With Christmas just around the corner, this is important to remember for the impending and always stress-inducing task of gifting. And there is no better time to tick off each person on your list than Black Friday.
The annual sales event offers the optimal occasion to secure your seasonal selection with reductions across the board on all categories from tech to beauty and of course, fashion and jewellery. The biggest names in the jewellery market take the opportunity to cut prices across its sparkling collections and few labels are immune, from the high street to high end.
You will also find bargains across cameras, tablets, mixers and many more categories as well as at the likes of Boots, Amazon, John Lewis and Currys.
You can be sure to stock up on glittering jewellery pieces from the likes of Edge of Ember, Astrid & Miyu, Hey Harper, Missoma, Monica Vinader, Roxanne First, Pandora and many, many more brands.
Why ES Best can be trusted
You will never see me without at least three or four necklaces, a curation of piercings up my ear and decked out with wrist adornments - which is all to say that I love jewellery and I like to wear a lot of it at once. In my years as the Shopping Editor, I have had the pleasure of owning and wearing pieces from the high end to the high street. I am fascinated by it and I want to share the items worth investing in right here - especially when they’re on offer. Check them out below - first the top pieces to buy, and then the brands in list form.

CompletedWorks 18ct Gold-Plated Vermeil Silver Ascent Drop Earrings
London-based brand CompletedWorks has gained a reputation for creating unique, eye-catching jewellery, with a particular penchant for asymmetric, dangling earrings. This mismatched design is a typical example of CompletedWorks doing exactly what they do best.
With seven bezel-set, round cubic zirconia stones, one punctuated by a stunning freshwater pearl drop, and the other an even larger bezel-set cubic zirconia, these earrings add the perfect amount of sparkle to otherwise simple outfits.

Monica Vinader Tennis sterling-silver and 0.11ct diamond bracelet
It doesn’t get much more classic than a tennis bracelet. Popularised in 1987 by 18-time Grand Slam winner Chris Evert, the simple design has not fallen out of favour since. While they were once status symbols that would set you back a couple of thousand pounds, it is now pretty easy to find an option at almost any price point.
We love this mid-range option from Monica Vinader. Made entirely using sterling silver, you can be sure this will last you through the years, and the 0.11 ct diamonds keep the price point down while still delivering all the glitz needed from a tennis bracelet.

Edge of Ember Malachite Statement Ring
Every item from this collaboration between Edge of Ember and SheerLuxe founder Charlotte Collins is seriously lust-worthy, and this statement-making ring is no exception. Inspired by the Art-Deco style jewellery sported by her grandmother back in the 70s, Collins has provided us with vintage bling reimagined in her signature, sleek style. With genuine malachite at the centre, and a surrounding halo of white topaz gemstones, this ring is a major steal at less than £100.

Hey Harper Nassau Gold Necklace
Whether worn solo or layered with pendants, name necklaces or additional chains, the snake chain holds its own. The style is a favourite among the likes of Hailey Bieber no doubt for its ability to be paired with ease and its ability to toe the line between statement and subtle. The Nassau is Hey Harper’s take on the trend and is one of the most hard-wearing bits of jewellery on the market. We have been wearing ours for over a year and through beach breaks, marathon training, and every single day without ever taking it off and it looks good as new.
The brand is known for its waterproof jewellery and trend-led styles across necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets, anklets and even watches.
