What to give to your best friend turning 50

In the unforgettable novel "The Art of Joy," Goliarda Sapienza beautifully articulates that turning fifty marks a golden age of discovery. It's described as a "second youth, enhanced by the wisdom to relish, appreciate, and observe life fully." For Modesta, the novel's protagonist, fifty is the age at which she attains complete, conscious happiness.

Indeed, reaching the milestone of fifty is a significant achievement, worthy of a grand celebration, especially when it involves your best friend. Make her the centre of attention on this special day and let her sparkle with a piece of jewellery that's as spectacular as she is. Here are some thoughtful gift ideas for your best friend's 50th birthday

Elegant Gift Inspirations for a 50th Birthday

Turning 50 means accessories become more than just adornments; they're everyday statements, making them the perfect gifts to celebrate a woman's 50th. The key is to always prioritise the quality of the materials.

For the friend who loves the refinement of soft silk blouses and chic midi dresses, and who has the knack for making even the simplest outfit look sophisticated, a bracelet with the Hand of Fatima, symbolising protection and good fortune, could be an excellent choice. For those who are drawn to sparkling jewellery, a Domina gold bracelet set with Cubic Zirconia might be just the thing, adding a bold splash of brilliance to her style. If her taste leans towards the romantic, a 925 silver necklace with a Cubic Zirconia pavé and a shimmering heart pendant would be the perfect gift.

Creative Gifts for the 50-Year-Old Free Spirit

For friends with a creative edge and a penchant for the unique, our Composable jewellery pieces could be the perfect choice. If your friend, like celebrities Jennifer Aniston and Cate Blanchett, prefers a casual style with a minimalist touch, our customizable Composable watches with interchangeable straps could be the ideal gift.

For the celebrant who loves dressing casually, with midi skirts and palazzo trousers, much like the fifty-year-old supermodel Elle Macpherson, the Nomination's composable bracelet can be the perfect gift for her 50th birthday.

For this special milestone, consider a Composable Glam piece, enhanced with charms that reflect your friend's personality. Perhaps a double Link Girl Power charm in rose PVD and glitter, as a constant reminder of her strength, independence, and uniqueness.

Alternatively, for a birthday-themed Composable piece, consider charms featuring Birthstones. Customise the bracelet with her Birthstone, a gem associated with her zodiac sign, to create a lucky charm she'll love to wear every day.

A Glam-Rock Gift for the Forever Young

Does your friend always seem to defy age, regularly receiving compliments for looking at least fifteen years younger, and still rocking her jeans with the confidence of a thirty-something? She deserves a gift that matches her youthful spirit and fashion-forward heels. A romantic and sparkling 925 Silver ring, adorned with white Cubic Zirconia in a heart shape and accented with futuristic mini spheres, makes for a unique accessory. Paired with Lovecloud stud earrings, she can add a special, yet always glamorous, touch to every outfit.
