There’s something extra special about receiving a piece of jewellery that was once cherished by someone you love. The history attached to the piece gives it sentimental value and also gives you a way to remember loved ones and keep them close. 

If you’re looking for a beautiful gift that can be loved and then passed on, here are a few things to consider: 

1. Durability

A good heirloom should be designed to withstand many years of wear while staying in good condition. Choose jewellery that’s made using high-quality materials and craftsmanship. 

2. Practicality 

Some heirlooms are reserved for special occasions only, but if you want something that can be worn just about every day, think practical. Something as simple as a well-crafted gold ring or bangle can make the perfect heirloom that’s suitable for easy everyday wear and won’t be left sitting in a jewellery box. 

3. Personal significance 

When we talk about heirlooms, we’re thinking about something more personal than a standard gold necklace for women. An heirloom that features an extra personal touch will be cherished over many years. Imagine wearing a customised piece of jewellery with Gran’s birthstone or your big sister’s favourite lucky charm, or even an engraving of Mum’s unique fingerprint.
