Why settle for an Advent calendar filled with chocolate that has a sell-by date when you can opt for one with jewels that last a lifetime?
Jewelers are releasing limited-edition calendars for the holidays that treat their lucky recipients to 12 or more days of beautiful bits and baubles. These box sets offer value, as the jewelry pieces typically cost less bundled together in the calendar than purchased individually.
We’ve rounded up a few of the best jewelry Advent calendars on the market to give or receive (or self-purchase) this holiday season.
A celebrity-beloved brand (ahem, Kate Middleton), Missoma offers 12 days of fine jewelry staples, including diamond stud earrings, pearl huggies and drop earrings, chain bracelets, and a baroque pearl pendant. Missoma’s Advent calendar is also available in cost-sensitive gold and silver versions. Plus, if you happen to find a golden ticket in one of the compartments, you win a diamond necklace to add to the collection.
Between misplaced studs and multiple piercings, one can never have too many earrings. Astrid & Miyu’s Advent calendar comes complete with CZ hoops, huggies, ear cuffs, and more that will keep your earring selection going strong for the year ahead (at the very least). This 12-day set is available with the pieces in either 18k gold–plated or rhodium-plated recycled sterling silver. The brand also sells Advent calendars with 14k gold jewels or 24 days of gifts.
Mignonne Gavigonne’s lilac box includes not only bestselling items but also exclusive new arrivals, mixing the familiar with an element of surprise. The pieces—earrings and other jewels, from playful to sophisticated—are valued over $1,000, but the 12-day calendar retails for just $395, making this one effective gift.
An exclusive for Disney’s centenary, Swarovski’s 25-day Advent calendar is a collector’s dream. Containing two necklaces, 22 dazzling ornaments, and a set of stickers, this one’s full of wonder and delight.
