Father’s Day Jewelry Gift Ideas
Father’s Day is Sunday, June 16.
Here are some cool and classic jewelry gift ideas to show your father or the father figure in your life that you appreciate all he’s done.
Some background on Father’s Day
Let’s first start with some history of the holiday. Father’s Day was created in 1910 by Sonora Smart Todd. Her idea was to create a day to complement Mother’s Day, which had been established in 1908 by Ann Jarvis. Although it would take almost two decades for the holiday to gain popularity, it eventually took hold, as we still celebrate it today.
Say it with a piece of jewelry
To really impress your dad or the father figure in your life, you may want to consider giving a piece of jewelry, such as a watch, tie clip, or cuff links. As jewelry designer David Yurman said, “I’ve always felt that jewelry is one of the most personal and emotional gifts you can give your loved one.” Men appreciate a good piece of jewelry as much as women do, especially if it’s wearable and practical, in addition to being stylish.
Watches: convenient and fashionable
Even in our digital age when most people check their phones for the time, watches are not obsolete. A handsome watch is not only a convenient timepiece, it’s a striking way to elevate one’s style. Watches offer a truly unique statement about the wearer. If you’re considering giving a watch, take a moment to think about your father’s personality.
What’s your dad’s personality?
Is he classic and conservative, or edgy and cool? Is he active and in need of a durable sports watch? Or tech-savvy who’ll appreciate a smartwatch that’s an extension of his iPhone? If so, then consider the Apple Watch Sport or a host of other iOS-compatible smartwatches on the market.
Consider your budget
If his taste leans toward classic styles and high-end brands, a fine watch can become an heirloom that’s handed down for generations. Before you spend more than you should, read 6 Things to Do Before Buying a Rolex.
A necklace that reflects his personality
Like a watch and other pieces of jewelry, a necklace should speak to your father’s personality, taste, and interests. Consider a pendant that reflects his personal beliefs. Is he a religious man? How about a classic gold cross or pendant with the Hebrew life sign? Or a guitar if he’s a musician; or maybe a dog tag proclaiming your love for him. There are some unique options out there, including a Batman logo with the saying, “You are my superhero.”
Take time to investigate and you’ll be sure to find the perfect pendant. Just make certain the piece is well made so it lasts a long time.
A pair of classic cufflinks
Few pieces of men’s jewelry say class and elegance like a pair of gold or silver cufflinks. Prices range widely for cufflinks, so don’t be intimidated. A basic pair of cufflinks generally starts around $20 (typically made from stainless steel) and increases into the thousands, depending on the metals and gemstones adorning them. Go the extra step and have them monogrammed with your father’s initials.
Make time to spend time
Whatever you decide to give to your dad on Father’s Day, remember that time is the most precious gift of all, so schedule time out of your busy schedule to do something with your dad he really likes. Or take time to reminisce and remember him with family. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!
