When should I order for New Year?
Most pieces are made to order and take about 15 working days of production. After that, delivery takes about 3 working days within the UAE, where it is free, and about 5 working days to Saudi Arabia and the rest of the GCC, where you see the delivery cost before you pay. Allow for both, and remember public holidays at the end of the year. If time is short, the Heart Diamonds Necklace and Heart Diamonds Bracelet (AED 4,150) are offered without a production wait.
Which piece for which person?
For a wife or partner, a diamond piece such as the Joy Star or Lily ring feels special; see our gift guide for your wife. For a mother, a piece she can wear every day works well; see gold gifts for mothers. For a friend or colleague, earrings or a Hive bracelet keep the budget lower. More ideas under AED 3,500 are in our gifts under AED 3,500 guide.
