Christmas Gold Gift Guide: 22K Pieces from Negombo

In Negombo, Christmas is one of the biggest celebrations of the year, and a piece of gold is one of the few gifts that is still worn, and treasured, decades later. Here are our 22K gold ideas for parents, partners, godchildren and family coming home from abroad, plus the one date you need to remember if you want it made in time.

For faith and family: cross pendants

A gold cross is the classic Christmas gift in a Catholic town like Negombo, and it suits every age, from a teenager’s first good chain to a grandparent’s everyday pendant.

• Cross Pendant 01 is a solid, smooth 22K cross with no ornament. It is light enough for daily wear and works for men and women alike.
• Cross Pendant 02 is a fully sculpted crucifix with the figure worked in relief by hand. It is a more formal piece, the kind given to mark a milestone.

For someone who deserves something special: the Angel Pendant

The Angel Pendant has wings set with natural pavé diamonds in 22K gold and comes complete on a fine gold chain. It is the most luminous piece in our collection and a natural Christmas gift for a wife, mother or daughter.

For the sea-lover: the Anchor Pendant

Negombo has lived from the sea for centuries. The Anchor Pendant is solid 22K gold with hand-wrapped rope detail, a strong, simple piece for fathers, brothers and anyone whose family has fished these waters.

For something to wear every day: earrings

• Amba Leaf Earrings take the curling mango motif found in Sri Lankan textiles and temple carvings, outlined in natural diamonds.
• Ravi Sunburst Earrings are gold sunburst studs with diamond rays, small enough for the office and bright enough for midnight Mass.

For a partner: rings

A ring is the most personal gift and needs the right size. If it is a surprise, borrow a ring they already wear on the same finger, or bring it to the shop and we will measure it. The Moon Ring, a polished 22K dome inspired by the Sri Lankan moonstone, is a good choice when you are unsure of style, because it suits almost any hand.

Buying from abroad?

If you are coming home from Italy, the Middle East or elsewhere for Christmas, you can choose a piece now on WhatsApp, have it made while you travel, and collect it in Negombo when you arrive. We confirm the price at the day’s gold rate when you order, so there are no surprises when you collect.

How to choose the right gold gift

• Daily wear or special occasions? Plain gold pieces handle daily wear best. Diamond-set pieces shine at events.
• Weight sets the price. Every product page shows the gold weight and a full price breakdown, so you can compare pieces fairly. Our guide to how gold jewellery prices are calculated explains each part.
• Add engraving. A name, a date or a short blessing on the back of a pendant turns a gift into an heirloom. Ask about it when you order.
