Lunar New Year falls on Wednesday, 29 January 2025, beginning the Year of the Snake. In the zodiac, the snake stands for wisdom, intuition and grace, a lovely theme for gifts that are meant to last.
Gift ideas
- Serpentine and spiral designs: open spiral rings and wrap designs echo the snake's graceful lines.
- Gold and diamond pendants: gold for prosperity, diamond for strength and clarity.
- Matching pairs: earrings and pendant sets for balance and harmony.
- Tennis bracelets: a continuous circle of diamonds, a symbol of unbroken good fortune.
- Pieces for new beginnings: a ring to mark a new job, a new home or an engagement.
Thoughtful touches
- Present gifts in red packaging, the colour of luck and celebration.
- Many families prefer pairs and favour the number eight, and avoid four.
- Yellow gold is often preferred for festive gifting; 18K gives the richest colour.
Buying tips
- Look for clear descriptions: lab-grown diamond and gold purity.
- For centre stones, ask for an IGI report.
- Order early: Lunar New Year arrives soon after Christmas, and delivery times can be longer.
