More jewellery gifts for teenage girls:

Some might be predicting a shift to dainty silver jewels, but I'm still very much into stacking my chunky gold jewels high. But, as well as colour, I'd urge you to take quality into consideration when shopping for your teen, opting for pieces she can call on for years to come.

Examples include this Edge of Ember ear cuff accented with green gems, or a Cartier-inspired bangle watch. And, because there's no shame in trying to stick to a budget, most come in at under £150. Shop more of the best jewellery gifts here.

What should you gift a 13-year-old?

When considering what to buy a 13-year-old, it's important to focus on their interests and hobbies. Popular options include tech gifts like wireless headphones and vlogging cameras, which are both super practical and trendy. Books with brutal honesty and a hint of romance — essentially, anything by Dolly Alderton — or board games that she can play with her pals are also a safe bet.

What should you gift a 16-year-old?

It gets a little more complex once you hit the sweet 16 because shopping for a gift also involves understanding their transition into young adulthood. Tech gadgets such as a new smartphone or a quality pair of wireless headphones are often well-received — just get the all-clear from their parents first, please. Those interested in fitness may appreciate a gym membership or aesthetic activewear. Additionally, experiences like concert tickets or a subscription to a streaming service can provide lasting entertainment.
