Jewellery gifts for Ramadan, Eid, Mother's Day and anniversaries
The best jewellery gift is one that suits the moment: something quiet and meaningful for Ramadan, something to wear on Eid morning, something lasting for a mother or an anniversary. Caleums makes fine jewellery in Dubai, from Serenity 33 prayer beads at AED 605 to one-of-a-kind gemstone necklaces, with next-day delivery across the UAE.
The dates to plan around (2027)
| Occasion | Expected date | Order by |
|---|---|---|
| Ramadan begins | around 8 February 2027 (subject to moon sighting) | late January |
| Eid al-Fitr | around 9–11 March 2027 (subject to moon sighting) | late February |
| Mother's Day (UAE) | 21 March 2027 | early March |
| Eid al-Adha | around mid-May 2027 (subject to moon sighting) | late April |
The order-by dates leave two weeks for made-to-order pieces, which typically take about 7 days to produce. Bespoke pieces take longer: we confirm timing with your quote. For a bespoke Eid gift, start the conversation in January.
For Ramadan: gifts with meaning
Ramadan gifts tend to be personal and quiet rather than showy. Our Serenity 33 prayer beads have 33 beads, the traditional form of the misbaha, in four editions: freshwater pearl, malachite, amethyst and tiger's eye. Each is AED 605. The pearl edition's engraved silver tassel draws on Emirati dhow sails and the UAE's pearl-diving heritage, and every edition is designed and made in the UAE. They suit men and women, and they're easy to give to several people in one family. See the full OPUS Collection.
For Eid: something to wear on the day
Eid is when jewellery comes out. For her, consider:
- Under AED 2,500: the sun-inspired Shams Al Dhahab diamond studs in yellow gold (AED 1,890), or the Stardust Hearts Studs with blue topaz (AED 2,415).
- Under AED 5,000: the Love Earrings, ruby hearts with natural diamonds in 18K gold (AED 2,835). Or the Heart Shaped Gold Diamond Necklace (AED 3,570) and the Phantom Pearl Pendant (AED 4,725).
- A statement: the Solar Petal Pendant in 18K gold with citrine and mother-of-pearl (AED 7,900), or the 60 ct citrine Sunset Droplet Necklace (AED 26,250).
For him: the Serenity 33 beads, or the Spinner, a working spinning top with a pink pearl in an openwork frame (AED 4,935). There is also the Signet Leather Bracelet in 18K gold and diamonds, finished with his initial (AED 10,300). If he wears a WHOOP band, a cover in silver or gold starts at AED 1,995.
For Mother's Day: 21 March
In the UAE, Mother's Day falls on 21 March, about ten days after Eid al-Fitr in 2027. Pearls are a natural choice here: they're the Gulf's own gem. Consider the Baroque Pearl Diamond Pendant (AED 8,950) or the Oasis Pearl Drops (AED 9,950). A name or initials in gold is the most personal gift of all. We make these to order, in Arabic or Latin script.
For anniversaries
An eternity ring is the classic anniversary gift: a continuous line of stones for something meant to last (our eternity ring guide). Look at the Pink Sapphire Eternity Ring (AED 4,725) or the Bamboo Eternity Ring in 18K gold and diamonds (AED 4,275). For a milestone year, a bespoke piece can carry your initials or a shared story, like the Yin & Yang bracelets made for one couple.
For UAE National Day (2 December)
The Spirit of the Seven Emirates is a convertible pendant and brooch (AED 20,700). At its centre is a lab-grown diamond custom-cut in the shape of the UAE, surrounded by seven natural baguette diamonds.
Choosing for someone else
- Look at what they already wear. Mostly yellow gold or mostly white? Studs or drops? Match it, and the gift will be worn rather than kept in a drawer.
- Earrings and pendants are the safe choice when you don't know a ring size. Studs suit almost everyone and every day.
- Pick a stone with a reason: a birthstone, a favourite colour, or pearls for someone who loves the sea and the Gulf's heritage.
- For someone who has everything, something personal beats something expensive: an initial, a name in Arabic, or a piece designed around a shared story.
Giving it well
- Delivery: next-day across the UAE, free over AED 2,000 (AED 25 below). Same-day delivery (AED 50, order by 1 pm) covers Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good jewellery gift for Ramadan?
Something personal and understated. Prayer beads (misbaha) are a meaningful choice: our Serenity 33 beads come in pearl, malachite, amethyst and tiger's eye, made in the UAE, at AED 605.
When is Mother's Day in the UAE?
21 March. In 2027, it falls about ten days after Eid al-Fitr, so it is worth planning both gifts together.
Can you deliver an Eid gift in time?
In-stock pieces can be delivered next day across the UAE. Made-to-order pieces typically take about 7 days to produce, so order at least two weeks before Eid.
What jewellery can I give a man for Eid?
Prayer beads, a signet bracelet with his initial, or a silver or gold cover for his WHOOP band.
What if the ring size is wrong?
Your first resize is free of charge; later resizing is charged.
