30th Birthday Personalised Gifts

30th birthdays are a great opportunity to gift something thoughtful and sentimental.

Careers, relationships and family are often some of the main priorities at this milestone age and can be factored into the choice of jewellery and personalisation.

Personal style and their lifestyle are both important considerations too when choosing a jewellery gift for 30th birthdays. Do they prefer classic designs? Do they have an office-based job that might suit a subtle piece of jewellery or a more organic statement piece of jewellery for a creative loved one.

Hand stamping or engraving their name or nickname, birth date or year or even a cheeky message such as 'Forever 29', makes the jewellery gift personal and bespoke to the lucky recipient.

Earrings are a failsafe 30th birthday gift. From hoops to classic pearls, choose a jewellery box staple that suits their style.

For men, a simple and classic Tag Necklace is also a timeless personal 30th birthday gift for him.
