Receiving your first salary always brings tremendous excitement as it is a tangible reward for your accomplishments. What better way to commemorate this achievement than by treating yourself to something beautiful? You will always know that this is the first piece you bought for yourself with your hard-earned salary. And nothing says it better than buying something in gold. While jewellery often carries the perception of being expensive, there are plenty of unique and affordable options available and well within your reach, whatever your salary may be.
Small or big, jewellery will be a physical pat on the back for your special milestone. With so many different types of jewellery in the market, you may find it a challenge to choose the one that is just right for your first-salary gift to yourself. We are here to help with at least seven unique yet affordable ideas.
Gold and Diamond Earrings
You are sure to have several pairs of earrings already. But something new will be a welcome addition to your collection. Buy and wear the Floral Leaf Diamond Stud Earrings for work. You now have something new to wear that fills you with joy, knowing that it comes from your first salary.
But if you have been looking for something more dramatic, you can browse the collection of drop earrings, Chand Balis, or trending Sui Dhaga earrings. There will always be some special occasion to dress up for, to wear the Eunice Diamond Drop Earrings or the Trillion Diamond Drop Earrings.
Birthstone Pendant Necklace
If you feel you would rather buy something to wear around your neck, choose a birthstone pendant necklace, as it is a timeless classic. Select a pendant adorned with your birthstones, like the Halo Miracle Gemstone Pendant in white gold or the Radiant Flare Gemstone Pendant in yellow gold. You can have it customised with your birthstone and wear it every day.
Personalised Jewellery
Your first salary is personal, isn’t it? Shouldn’t you reward yourself with something personal? Be it a bracelet or pendant, you can add something significant to you. If you want to wear something with your name or initials, you can buy the Infinity Personalised Gemstone Necklace. Or, if you want to have something significant engraved, you can get the Lattice Personalised Gold Bracelet and customise it.
Birthstone and Diamond Rings
Rings are popular choices, however many you may already have. And buying yourself a ring as a reward can bring as much joy as any other piece of jewellery. And when you add your birthstone and diamonds to it, you have the added element of luxury. Perfect examples of birthstone rings include the Halo Amethyst Birthstone Diamond Ring and the Halo Opal Birthstone Diamond Ring, both in white gold.
Gold and Diamond Bracelets
Charm bracelets are not only fashionable but also hold sentimental value. Opt for a delicate charm bracelet with dainty symbols or initials that represent aspects of your personality or interests. For example, if you are a Harry Potter fan, the Hedwig Bracelet and the Time-Turner Bracelet will catch your eye. And if you want a gemstone bracelet, you can buy the Pyramid Geo Gemstone Bracelet. If you wish to add diamonds for their opulence, go for the Maura Classic Diamond Bracelet.
Watch Charms
One of the accessories that rarely leave your wrist is your watch. Adding charms to it makes the watch more interesting. Plus, these charms are small enough to express your interests in different ways. You can curate a unique collection of charms over time, making them a cherished reminder of your accomplishments. You can begin the collection with your first salary and even buy more than one as they are highly affordable. Buy yourself the Clover Gemstone Watch Charm and the Evil Eye Gold Watch Charm to keep your birthstone close and ward off negativity!
Pearl Jewellery
Pearls are considered classic and timeless accessories, often used in jewellery designs. Pearls can add an element of elegance to any outfit and are frequently associated with femininity and grace. Their lustrous and iridescent appearance makes them highly desirable, representing success. Gift yourself the Clover Oasis Lariat Pearl Necklace or the Pearl Petals Necklace.
First-salary Jewellery Sets
Being able to buy yourself a jewellery set takes the personal reward to a whole new level. The Captured Heart Pendant Set will capture your and everyone else’s heart. So will the Metro Topaz Heart Matching Set in white gold. Jewellery sets like these, even studded with diamonds or gemstones, can be unique while remaining affordable.
