Wondering what to get the Gen Zer on your holiday gift list? Many Gen Z women and men (born between 1997 and 2012) are at the perfect age to appreciate their first fine jewelry pieces and Christmas is the perfect occasion!. We’ve curated our favorite jewelry that’s on trend for your favorite Gen Zer.
What Metals Are Trending for Gen-Z?
Metal choice (such as yellow gold vs. white gold) is less about trends and more about what they like (and what they feel works best with their skin tone). Take a peek at what they wear now (or find a way to work the question into conversation!).
Minimalism
Today’s trends are all about quiet luxury. They would be thrilled to receive high quality, minimalist jewelry pieces that add polish to any outfit and confidence to any moment.
Just look at Google’s search trends over the last five years. Interest in “quiet luxury” peaked in mid-2023 and has remained high ever since. And interest in “dainty jewelry” is at an all time high.
Gold hoop earrings (such as those shown below in white gold) are understated and luxe and add a finishing touch to jeans and a sweater or a date night dress.
Or maybe a delicate necklace and complementary ring.
Of course, the height of quiet luxury is their first pair of diamond stud earrings.Diamond studs come in a range of different cuts, allowing your Gen Zer to be unique in their individual style.

Individual Style
Gen Z is showing us all the power of self-expression! How about jewelry with their initial or birthstone.

Elevated Friendship Bracelets
Taylor Swift reminded us how awesome friendship bracelets are (see our Swiftie inspired gift guide!) and beaded or chain bracelets are an elevated re-imagining of this trend.
You can stop into any Robbins Brothers to get more Gen Z inspiration or you can order online and pick up in store to make sure you have the luxurious boxes under the tree for Christmas.
