Best jewellery advent calendars 2023, from Pandora to Swarovski
Christmas might not be for another few months, but advent calendar shopping is in full swing. And for those looking for something a little different this year, allow us to introduce you to jewellery advent calendars.
That's right, we're talking about 12 to 24 glorious drawers with gold, silver and gemstone accessories tucked neatly within.
They're the perfect way to expand your jewellery collection, and while they are more expensive initially, they're often more cost-effective than buying each piece individually. Not just that, they're often filled with limited-edition pieces that aren't even available to purchase on their own.
Last year, shoppers were eager to get their hands on the accessory filled calendars, with both iterations of Astrid & Miyu's calendars selling out within days, and Missoma experiencing huge waitlists.
So, if you're desperate for a new dainty chain, earring stack or statement ring, here's a selection of the best jewellery advent calendars for Christmas, ranging in price from £15 to over £1,000.
