Giving Thanks: What Jewellers Are Most Thankful For This Year

Thanksgiving is a time for expressing gratitude, not just through words and gatherings but also through thoughtful gifts. Jewellery, particularly fine jewellery, has become an increasingly popular way to show appreciation to loved ones during this season. The gift-giving tradition on Thanksgiving is an opportunity to convey a personal and lasting message of thanks. Whether it’s a simple initial necklace from Assael that carries the wearer’s identity close to their heart, or an intricate, custom-designed piece from Verragio or Robert Guild Jewellery crafted specifically for a loved one, jewellery serves as a tangible and beautiful reminder of the gratitude we feel.

This year, as we spoke with industry leaders from renowned brands such as Stephen Silver Fine Jewellery, Bayco Jewels, and Ricardo Basta, it became clear that gratitude is a cornerstone of both their personal and professional lives. These leaders expressed how gratitude shapes not only their relationships with family and friends but also their passion for creating exquisite pieces. It’s clear that in everything they do, from designing new collections to opening new stores, gratitude is woven into the very fabric of their work. Here’s what they had to say…

We can see here just how deeply intertwined gratitude is with craft. Whether it’s the joy of creating one-of-a-kind pieces, the fulfilment of working in a family business, or the satisfaction of being part of a vibrant community, these industry professionals remind us that Thanksgiving is about more than just a meal: it’s about recognising and cherishing the blessings in our lives, both big and small. Jewellery, in this context, becomes more than just a gift, it’s a reminder of the gratitude and love that define this special season.
