Christmas might still be a little way off, but it’s never too early to start gathering gift ideas. I've rounded up our 10 bestselling jewellery designs of 2026 so far - the pieces our customers have loved most this year and some great inspiration if you’re starting to think about Christmas jewellery and gifts.

There are long-time customer favourites alongside newer designs that have become especially popular this year. You’ll find silver, gold and gemstone jewellery, from easy-to-wear everyday pieces to more distinctive designs for someone who loves jewellery that’s a little different. Everything featured here is designed in Australia and made with care.

Of course, jewellery isn't only for gifting. With the warmer and more festive months ahead, you might find something here to wear to Christmas celebrations, summer gatherings and special occasions - or simply something you'd love to find under the tree yourself.

We'll be updating this list again later in the festive season to reveal which designs become our Christmas bestsellers for 2026. In the meantime, you can find even more inspiration in our Christmas Gift Guide, with jewellery gift ideas, seasonal articles, shipping information and plenty more to help you get ready for Christmas.

10 Most Popular Jewellery Gifts for Christmas 2026

1. Wattle Branch Silver Dangle Earrings

These Wattle Branch Dangle Earrings have been one of our most popular jewellery designs this year. Inspired by Australian wattle in bloom, the intricate sterling silver branches are designed to catch the light as they move. They're statement earrings, but the open, airy design keeps them from feeling too heavy or overwhelming.

These are a lovely Christmas gift for someone who loves Australian native plants, or simply enjoys distinctive silver jewellery. They also work beautifully for summer dressing and festive occasions: enough sparkle and movement to dress up a simple outfit, while still being very wearable. You can find more botanical designs in our Australian Flora Jewellery range, or explore more statement earrings.

For a co-ordinated gift, pair them with our Wattle Branch Pendant on Chrysoprase Gem Necklace, which combines the same wattle design with fresh green gemstone beads.

2. Australian Flora Pattern Silver Necklace: Banksia

Our Australian Flora Pattern Necklace featuring a Banksia Flower has been another customer favourite this year. The pendant features an intricately etched banksia flower within an asymmetrical half-circle design, combining Australian botanical inspiration with a more contemporary, graphic feel.

This is a lovely Christmas gift for someone who loves Australian native plants or prefers jewellery that's distinctive without being difficult to wear. Made in bright sterling silver, the etched surface catches the light beautifully, while the simple pendant shape makes it an easy piece to wear regularly. If banksias aren't quite right, the same necklace is also available featuring a Flannel Flower design.

You'll also find the same botanical pattern in the Australian Flora Pattern Dangle Earrings featured further down this list, making them a great choice if you're looking for matching jewellery. Explore more of our silver necklaces for other Christmas gift ideas.

3. Lily of the Valley Silver Drop Earrings with Pearls

I've been making our Lily of the Valley Silver Drop Earrings for many years and they've always been a customer favourite - but they've been especially popular in 2026. Each detailed sterling silver flower holds a luminous cultured pearl and moves gently as you wear it, making these earrings delicate and romantic while still having plenty of character.

Lily of the valley is traditionally associated with love, renewal and joy, so these earrings have some lovely symbolism for gift giving. Pearls are also the June birthstone, making them an especially thoughtful Christmas gift for someone born in June. They're lightweight and easy to wear, but distinctive enough to dress up for parties and other festive occasions.

For someone who loves pearls, explore our full pearl jewellery collection. We also make a matching Lily of the Valley Silver & Pearls Necklace for a beautifully co-ordinated set.

4. Wattle Oval Sterling Silver Drop Earrings

Another Australian wattle design among this year's favourites, our Wattle Flower Oval Drop Earrings feature a detailed botanical pattern etched into bright sterling silver. The classic oval shape makes them very easy to wear, while the textured surface catches and reflects the light as they move - giving them more interest and sparkle than a simple silver drop earring.

They're a versatile gift choice for someone who loves Australian native plants or distinctive silver jewellery, and they can easily move from everyday wear to summer parties and festive occasions. Pair them with the Wattle Oval Silver Pendant Necklace with Yellow Opals for a matched look, or explore more of our sterling silver earrings.

5. Aquamarine Sterling Silver Stud Earrings

For a little colour and sparkle, our Aquamarine Silver Stud Earrings have been a popular choice this year. These handmade sterling silver studs feature natural aquamarine gemstones in a generous 6mm size, giving them more presence than a tiny gemstone stud while still being simple enough for everyday wear. The soft watery blue also makes them an easy addition to all sorts of outfits.

Aquamarine is the traditional March birthstone, so these earrings make a meaningful gift for someone with a March birthday - but you certainly don't need to be born in March to love them. They're part of our ocean-inspired Seaside Jewellery Range and customers often pair them with our much bolder Coral Reef & Aquamarine Pendant Necklace. Or explore more of our stud earrings for easy-to-wear Christmas gift ideas.

6. Moon & Back Silver Locket Necklace with Moonstone

Our Moon & Back Silver Locket Necklace is one of the more meaningful designs among this year's favourites. Inspired by the sentiment "love you to the moon and back", this sterling silver locket features a luminous moonstone set in solid 14ct gold, delicate engraved stars on the outside, and a hidden crescent moon and star design waiting inside.

It's also a true working locket, with space for small photos or other tiny keepsakes. That makes it an especially personal Christmas gift: you can give it as it is, or add something meaningful inside before it goes under the tree. Designed to become more personal over time, it's the sort of jewellery that can carry memories as well as being beautiful to wear.

You'll find more lockets in our locket necklaces, along with other meaningful jewellery gift ideas. The Moon & Back Locket is part of our Amulets symbolic jewellery range, which is inspired by symbols, talismans and pieces with personal significance.

7. Australian Flora Pattern Silver Dangle Earrings

Our Australian Flora Pattern Dangle Earrings are for someone who likes their jewellery with a little unexpected detail. Each sterling silver earring features a different section of the same intricate Australian botanical pattern, creating a subtly mis-matched pair that's deliberately different while still feeling beautifully balanced.

The elongated silver panels move as they're worn, catching the light and revealing different flowers and foliage within the etched and darkened pattern. They're distinctive enough to make an impact for summer celebrations and special occasions, but lightweight and easy to wear when you simply want to add some interest to an everyday outfit.

If the pattern looks familiar, you've already seen its matching Australian Flora Pattern Silver Necklace with Banksia Flower earlier in this list. The two can be worn together as a coordinated set, or each works beautifully as a feature piece in its own right.

8. Double Tulip Rose Gold Stud Earrings

Some designs come and go from our annual bestseller lists, but our Double Tulip Stud Earrings seem to have taken up permanent residence. They've been one of our most popular designs for many years and 2026 is no exception. Inspired by overlapping tulip petals, their softly domed, sculptural shape catches the light beautifully and gives these little stud earrings much more presence than their size might suggest.

The warm rose gold colour makes them an especially lovely choice for someone who prefers warmer-toned jewellery, while their simple shape makes them easy to wear every day or dress up for a special occasion. They're made in rich 24ct rose gold vermeil over sterling silver, giving them the look and warmth of real gold in a more accessible form.

For a matching set, pair them with our Double Tulip Rose Gold Pendant Necklace, or browse our gold earrings for more warm-toned Christmas gift ideas.

9. Bouquet of Flowers Silver Necklace

Our Bouquet of Flowers Necklace has been part of our range for quite a few years, but it's enjoying a particularly popular year in 2026. Rather than a single pendant, five detailed sterling silver flowers - a daisy, dahlia, lotus, chrysanthemum and cherry blossom - are arranged across the neckline to create a floral statement piece that's intricate without being overwhelming.

Each of the five flowers has its own traditional symbolism, adding an extra layer of meaning if you're choosing the necklace as a gift. It's also a beautiful option for summer and festive dressing, especially with an open neckline where the individual flowers can really be seen. For more distinctive designs with plenty of presence, explore our statement necklaces.

You can find more designs featuring the same collection of flowers in our Bouquet Jewellery Range, including the matching Bouquet of Flowers Silver Charm Bracelet.

10. Wattle Flowers Solid Gold Signet Ring

And finally, the biggest bestseller of them all - at least when measured by sales value. Our Wattle Flowers Solid Gold Signet Ring is our bestselling individual jewellery product by value in 2026 so far. That's particularly striking in a year when the price of solid gold has risen substantially, yet customers have continued to choose this special piece.

Made in solid 14ct gold, the classic signet ring is etched with delicate Australian wattle flowers, combining a traditional form with one of our favourite Australian botanical motifs. Wattle is associated with renewal, resilience and connection to the Australian landscape, giving the ring extra significance as a special Christmas gift or a piece chosen to mark an important occasion.

We make this ring in limited quantities and it does sell out between batches, so availability may vary. If you're looking for a more affordable version, our Wattle Flowers Silver Signet Ring features the same botanical design in sterling silver. You can also explore more of our gold jewellery and handmade rings.
