Some Christmas gifts are planned months in advance. Others happen in the final few days, when you still want the present to feel considered, polished and utterly unforgettable. Jewellery is ideal for that moment - especially pieces that are instantly wearable, beautifully presented and already proven favourites in the luxury world.
This Hatton Jewels edit focuses on pre-owned jewellery that is ready to ship and easy to gift, without compromising on craftsmanship or impact.

At approximately 6cm in length, they bring elegant movement and a soft glow of mixed metals around the face, working just as well with a black dress as with a white shirt and blazer. Delivered with the original Cartier box, they are a sophisticated last minute option for someone who loves classic houses with a twist.
