7 Last Minute Christmas Gifts For Her

Tis the season for gifting. It comes every year, and every year you’re probably out there panic-buying socks and skin care and gift cards aplenty. We see you. But this year, you landed here at Frank Darling, which is a strong sign you’re about to crush Christmas with a gift so good it deserves its own unboxing video. Sure, there are the traditional popular presents for women, like diamond stud earrings or a classic tennis bracelet. And we certainly have those. But given you’re already here, why don’t you humor us.

Diamond Christmas Gifts That Don’t Suck

Since Frank Darling is like the Taylor Swift of fine jewelry (you know, effortlessly cool and totally trustworthy), it’s safe to say we can be trusted with some seriously stunning gift recommendations for her. We combine modern design savvy with expert craftsmanship and transparent pricing. Oh, and sustainable diamonds? We’ve got those too. Don’t want to settle for shopping jewelry gifts off the rack? We do customization like it’s our business. Because it actually is. And you don’t even have to leave your sofa. Spoiler alert: we’re about to help you find diamond gifts she’ll actually love.

From timeless diamond studs that pair as effortlessly with her favorite vintage band tee as they do with a little black dress, to custom pendants in unique shapes, we’ve got options that scream “I see you” louder than her Spotify Wrapped. And for those of you ready to go full romantic hero this holiday season, our lab grown diamonds deliver all the sparkle without the guilt—because nothing says true love like ethical brilliance. Whether you’re shopping for a minimalist, a maximalist, or someone who’s a little bit of both, Frank Darling makes it easy to gift diamonds that don’t just shine—they slay.

How to Get Creative with Your Fine Jewelry Gifts

Jewelry gifting is all about knowing your audience. Not all women wear jewelry the same way—some are about the dainty sparkle, while others want to blind people from across the room. For your minimalist queen who’s all about quiet luxury (think matcha and 12-step skincare), try delicate yellow gold chains, tiny diamond studs, or barely-there stacking rings.

 On the flip side, there’s the maximalist magpie, serving main character energy (we see you Leos). She wants the jewelry bold enough for the red carpet she’s walking in her mind. If it doesn’t catch the light or inspire at least five compliments, she’s not interested. She’s also not afraid to mix metals or trends. Think oversized studs, chunky gold rings, and diamonds so big they should come with a warning label. If she’s not leaving a trail of sparkles everywhere she goes, is she even living?

The Best Gifts Incorporate Thoughtful Details

Want to go the extra mile? Jewelry gifts are made even more extraordinary when they’re personal. Adding thoughtful details can turn a great gift into a tearjerker moment. Instead of a generic diamond pendant, you choose one that incorporates her birthstone or engrave the inside of a diamond band with your anniversary date, initials, or a sweet inside joke (you know, the one that makes her laugh-cry). It’s not just about the sparkle; it’s about saying, “I know you better than your FYP.” So put your mind to it, and make it your (or her) own!

How Long Do Custom Jewelry Gifts for Her Take?

Now, here’s where custom jewelry can get a bit complicated. The timeline. There are plenty of diamond Christmas gifts ready to go, but our custom order cut off to receive your order before Christmas is November 24, and for any rush orders, December 6. That means you’ll probably want to get down to business asap to get any super-special Christmas jewelry gifts for her underway, like, yesterday.

Now that that’s out of the way let’s get to the actually important part-the gifts. The following gifts have been handpicked by our editors for their high shine, affordability, and undeniable beauty. And bonus? Order any stud earrings today or a tennis bracelet before 12/18 and it’ll arrive in time for Christmas. You can thank us later.

The OG Round Diamond Stud Earrings

Truly the little black dress of jewelry gifts for Christmas, the round diamond studs will be a winner every time. Even if she already has a pair, you can go bigger and really impress. Remember, when purchasing, that the carat weight is split in half across the two diamonds, so a 1 carat total weight pair of studs is equal to two half-carat diamonds. Our OG diamond stud earrings are mounted in a classic four-prong setting, in your choice of metals: yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, or platinum. We offer both moissanite and lab grown diamonds, giving you two beautiful and affordable options. Both with plenty of sparkle.

If you like the idea of earrings for Christmas but want something a little more out-of-the-box, we’ve got just the pair. Our Single Scoop earrings sparkle, with round cut diamonds held up by a barely-there basket that’s reminiscent of our favorite martini cocktail (stirred, though -not shaken!). They’re sleek and sexy and shine with a lot of flash.
