The best jewellery advent calendars offer a truly decadent December. These days, everything from beauty to booze has a dedicated advent calendar – the countdown to Christmas is no longer restricted to those with a sweet tooth.
Jewellery advent calendars are an increasingly popular choice. Adding some glamour to your celebrations and some new pieces to your jewellery box, these calendars are the gift that keeps on giving. Who wouldn’t want a glitzy gift every day of the run-up to Christmas?
From gold- and silver-plated rings and earrings to trend-led bangles or locket necklaces, the pieces behind each door will last long beyond the sparkly season. Costing anywhere between £100 and £500, most brands let you choose between metals, and many of the pieces can be regifted – but I’m not one to judge if you decide to keep them all for yourself.
Growing your collection at a fraction of the cost, the best jewellery advent calendars boast an RRP usually far below their overall worth compared with buying the items individually.
This year, much-loved brands such as Missoma and Astrid & Miyu have returned with an alluring line-up, while the likes of Edge of Ember and Astley Clark have unveiled their debut advent calendars (spoiler: they don’t disappoint).
How I tested
From luxury offerings to affordable favourites, I got my hands on the best jewellery advent calendars ahead of the festive season. Opening each door before December – someone had to do it – I’ve found calendars that are worth their weight in gold. In the run-up to Christmas, I’ll be updating this guide with every new drop. When forming my guide, I took the following into account:
- Quality: I wanted high-quality products that lived up to their marketing, from gold-plated pieces to staple sterling silver designs.
- Value for money: Considering the appeal of each product and the cost of the calendar, I weighed up whether the jewellery advent calendars offered good value for money. I also considered how much the calendars save you on the pieces inside.
- Variety: Though it’s only September, I put myself in the party season spirit and considered how each jewellery piece could elevate my festive wardrobe. Equally, I assessed how timeless the designs are and whether they’d last me long beyond Christmas into the New Year.
