Teen Gift Guide

December 06, 2018

Buying gifts for teens can be daunting and confusing. I hear moms and grandmas agonizing and lamenting on how to choose a piece of jewelry a teenage girl is going to not only wear, but love. So I figured I should try to find out by going straight to the source, so I asked some!

Spoiler alert, what I have learned from all of the responses is that simpler is better. Versatile is better. And things you can wear everyday are better. Also designs that stack or wrap. Here are their favorites.

"The Gold Wave Band is such a fun accessory - perfect for everyday wear."

Another popular choice was stacking rings. The Satellite Stacking Rings and the Wave Bands in particular, although I think there is probably some wiggle room in which ones you choose.

And finally small post earrings appear to be on a lot of wish lists. Particularly the Orbit Posts, the Small Fragment Hoops, and the Dotted Bar Posts.

So in summary, if you go simple and understated, but with a little edge, you should be on solid ground. They want simple designs that can be worn everyday. And that makes total sense to me. Actually seems pretty darn practical. Mystery solved, straight from the horse's mouth. Go forth and shop for gifts with confidence! And thanks so much to all of my teen contributors!
