Which piece suits the season best?
The Joy Star Necklace. It is a small yellow gold star with two shades of green and 0.04 ct of VS diamonds, so it reads as festive in December and still works every day after. For a cooler look, the Joy Diamond Necklace pairs white gold with blue enamel and 0.20 ct of diamonds.
What is a meaningful gift for someone living in Dubai?
Something in Arabic. Many residents want a piece that remembers their years in the UAE, and an Arabic initial or name does that without looking like a souvenir. The Arabic Letter Necklace comes in all 28 letters, in yellow, white or rose gold, with a VS diamond. For a full name, see the Arabic Name Necklace and our Arabic name necklace guide, which explains how English names are written in Arabic.

What can I give a man for Christmas?
The Hive Men Cufflinks frame hexagonal natural malachite in 925 sterling silver. They suit a white shirt for Christmas and New Year events. Malachite is soft, so keep it away from perfume; our malachite guide explains the stone.
When should I order for 25 December?
Order-by dates for 25 December: made-to-order pieces should be ordered by about 1 December for UAE delivery and by about 27 November for Saudi Arabia and the GCC. Most pieces are made to order, with about 15 working days of production before shipping. Delivery then takes about 3 working days within the UAE, about 5 to Saudi Arabia and the rest of the GCC, about 10 to the USA and up to 14 to other countries. Public holidays and the December rush can add time. The Heart Diamonds Necklace Double Face and its matching bracelet (AED 4,150) ship without a production wait, so they are the safest choice for a late order. The shipping cost is shown at checkout, and our team answers timing questions on WhatsApp.
