Summary

STEP 1: Get to know your grandma's taste and style

Observe what she already wears

Note whether your grandma prefers long, dangling earrings or rather small and subtle studs. Every grandma has her unique style, so it is important that jewelry for grandma is made of silver or another metal that suits her taste.
Check if she usually chooses silver earrings, gold earrings, or if she likes delicate stones or crystals.

Ask about any allergies

For those with sensitive skin, the best choice may be 925 sterling silver or gold 585.
If you know that your grandma is allergic to a specific metal, avoid earrings of a low grade or those coated with a layer that may wear off.

Find out from your grandma whether she likes subdued, classic designs or more striking ones

Some grandmas look fabulous in attention-grabbing stones, while others prefer classic minimalism.

STEP 2: Pay attention to wearing comfort

Weight and size of the earrings

When choosing a gift for Grandma's Day, holidays, birthdays, or any other occasion, remember the comfort of wearing jewelry. Earrings for grandma should be lightweight so as not to burden the earlobes.
Too heavy jewelry for grandma will cause discomfort when worn for extended periods.

Earring fastening

Studs (post earrings) is comfortable and easy to put on, but it requires precise insertion into the ear hole and attaching the back.
Leverbacks is stable and secure – a great choice for your grandma, as the risk of losing the earring is minimal.
Ear wires may be less convenient if your grandma is unsure about how to fasten it and fears the earring might accidentally come off.

Adjustability or customization to suit your grandma's taste

Some models have additional chains or fasteners that can be adjusted to individual needs, making them an ideal gift idea.

STEP 3: Choose the right metal and finish

Sterling Silver 925

In our collection you will find earrings made from high-quality 925 sterling silver, which is very popular and durable, and when coated with ruthenium or gold, becomes even more resistant to tarnishing.
It is a great choice for a gift on Grandma's Day, especially for grandmas who appreciate the subtle, cool glow of jewelry.
The GIORRE brand also offers rhodium-plated silver in various shades, which adds a modern chic to the jewelry.

Gold 585

Gold 585 is a timeless and classic choice, often selected for Grandma's Day or other occasions due to its prestigious character.
Some ladies prefer a warmer shade of gold, while others opt for elegant white gold.

Additional coatings (e.g., platinum, gold) on silver

They increase durability and impart a different hue (yellow gold, rose gold).
They allow you to enjoy the properties of silver (lightweight, relatively affordable) while maintaining the appearance of gold.

STEP 4: Consider embellishments and stones for Grandma's Day

Classic Cubic Zirconia

They evoke the sparkle of diamonds, adding elegance to the earrings.
Cubic zirconia is durable and easy to maintain, making it an excellent gift for her special day.

Natural gemstones or semi-precious stones

Onyx, jade, quartz, or synthetic stones (e.g., black synthetic diamonds) can add color and a unique character to the earrings.
Make sure that the color of the stone matches your grandma's style and wardrobe.

Pearls or pearl imitation

Ideal for those who appreciate traditional elegance.
Pearls brighten the complexion and pair beautifully with classic styles, making them a perfect gift on her special day.

STEP 5: Consider the shape and size of the gift for grandma

Small studs

Very versatile, discreet, and yet elegant; not every grandma loves large, dangling earrings.
Perfect if your grandma doesn't like large, long earrings.

Dangling earrings with a delicate chain or decorative element

They can add a touch of elegance for special occasions, such as family gatherings, weddings, or name days.
However, make sure that the earrings are lightweight.

Hoop earrings

They come in various sizes – from subtle to more striking.
Smaller hoops with a diameter of a few millimeters can be a great alternative to classic studs. At GIORRE, we offer a wide selection of high-quality models.
