      Jewelry Gift Guide

      Posted by Tiffany Winn ·

      Looking for a little glitz and glamour for your special someone? Whaler’s Locker offers a wide range of jewelry options to bring a sparkle to someone’s life. This jewelry gift guide will help you find a gift from our large Whaler’s Locker collection, including our selection of butterfly jewelry, Hawaii gifts, and rare items.

      Jewelry Gifts for Kids and Teens

      Even the youngest at heart loves to receive jewelry for their special day or celebration.

      In some cultures, it is tradition to gift certain pieces of jewelry as the child grows up and experience certain life events like:

      • Baptism
      • Bat Mitzvah
      • First Communion
      • Ear Piercing
      • Travel/Adventure

      There are many items in our Whaler’s Locker inventory that are ideal presents to gift children to mark special occasions. Our Rounded Sterling Silver Cross Pendant and Small Baltic Amber Cross are petite and made to last for years. They are perfect baptism or First Communion gifts.

      Choosing a gift for a Bat Mitzvah can be difficult, but with our butterfly jewelry, you are sure to find the right piece for that special young woman. Each butterfly jewelry piece is unique because it uses real butterfly wings set in acrylic to preserve and show off the vibrant colors. The Small Butterfly Design Pendant comes in four different color options set into the outline of a butterfly. We also offer a variety of other butterfly jewelry pieces, including earrings and pendants.

      Baltic Amber Heart Earrings

      If your special someone just got their ears pierced, gift them the Simple Heart Baltic Amber Earrings. These small but stunning hearts are drop set and ideal to frame any face.

      If you are looking for a travel gift, specifically a Hawaiian gift, to give your child, consider a shark tooth or hand-carved piece from our inventory. Our shark tooth pendants include, but are not limited to, Great White, Megalodon, and our fun Moving Jaw Shark Tooth Necklace. We also offer a sterling silver option if you are looking for a more timeless Hawaii gift.

      Our hand-carved hooks and animals are crafted here in Hawaii using natural materials. Our whale tails come in Ebony and Dymondwood and are carved by Maui artist David Haake, making them the perfect Hawaii gift. Our Maui’s hook is popular and comes in sizes ranging from 1-2.5 inches, hand-carved in various materials including deer antler, Hawaiian Mouflon sheep horn, turquoise, and other natural materials.

      Jewelry Gifts for Men

      Scrimshaw Cuff Links held in front of green leaves

      It is sometimes hard to find the perfect jewelry gift for that special man in your life, but Whaler’s Locker has you covered. Our hand-selected items are sure to please even the most discerning man, regardless of the occasion.

      Our Scrimshaw Cuff Links are the perfect final detail when your special man wants to look his best. The cuff links were designed and scrimshawed by Maui artist Doug Fine and are available in five different designs.

      If you are looking for statement pieces for the man in your life, our Baltic Amber Adjustable Sterling Silver Ring or Baltic Amber Sterling Silver Pendant might be just right. Each piece features a large, honey, Baltic amber gem set in sterling silver and crafted with exquisite details sure to impress.

      Great White Shark wrap around ring on a finger

      Our large Maui Hooks are also showstoppers that a strong man would like to wear. You can gift them the large and brilliant 2.5 Inch Water Buffalo Maui Fish Hook if they really want to show off or give them the more subdued but still striking Bocote Wood Maui Fish Hook. If your man is more into streamlined looks, you can gift him the sterling silver version of our Maui Hook. The great thing about our Maui Hooks is that they come with adjustable cords.

      Another fun, fierce jewelry gift for a man is our Great White Shark Wrap Around Ring. Its wrap-around design makes this ring adjustable, and we can even make you a custom size if needed.

      Jewelry Gifts for Women

      Earrings, bracelets, bangles, rings, necklaces—there are so many different jewelry pieces you can gift a woman! Whaler’s Locker has you covered when finding the perfect jewelry gift for that special woman in your life.

      Large Twin Fish Silver Cuff

      One of our more striking and distinctive feminine jewelry gifts would be our Nepalese cuff bracelets. Made of either sterling silver or 24k gold vermeil, these bracelets come in different sizes and feature hand-carved details of filigree fish, water, and wind. 

      If your gift recipient enjoys colorful items, our Butterfly Jewelry pieces might be what you are looking for. We offer a variety of butterfly jewelry earrings in different sizes and shapes, including diamond and fan shapes. Our butterfly jewelry pendants also come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and because they are made from real butterfly wings, each one is unlike any other. Our favorite butterfly jewelry piece is our XXL Butterfly Wing Pendant in the sunset option; this pairs nicely with our small or medium butterfly wing earrings in sunset.

      Pele's Tears Pendant Sterling Silver

      We would be remiss if we didn’t suggest our large selection of sterling silver jewelry for that special woman in your life. We offer Hawaii jewelry pieces designed and handcrafted by two local artists, Cathrine “Cici” Conarroe and BlueJah Warner. Whether you are looking for the whimsical turtle or the grounding Pele’s tears, you will be able to find a sterling silver piece that brings a smile to your recipient’s face. 

      How to Pick the Right Jewelry Gift?

      Jewelry can be a very personal choice, and it can be hard to choose something for someone and know that they will love it. If you want to gift someone a piece of jewelry, it is best to look at what they are currently wearing or own. You might have to do some snooping in their jewelry box or look at their social media to see what styles and types of jewelry they enjoy wearing.

      When considering gifting a piece of jewelry, there are many things to consider, including: 

      • Price
      • Occasion
      • Trendy, every day, or classic pieces
      • Color vs. solid metal
      • Activity level

      Once you have an idea of your budget, the occasion, and what your special someone enjoys wearing, you can select something with confidence. Most importantly, your gift recipient knows that you found a piece with them in mind, so they are sure to love whatever you pick out.

      With Whaler’s Locker extensive selection of Hawaiian gifts, butterfly jewelry, and sterling silver jewelry, you are sure to find the perfect item for anyone on your gift list. Whatever the occasion, you can order direct from Whaler’s Locker to anywhere in the US, and shipping is free with orders of $50 or more. We also offer layaway if you need a little more time to pay for that special gift. Also, we recommend treating yourself to a jewelry piece while you shop for others!
