The simple apple used to be the traditional gift for teachers but times have changed. These days, jewelry gifts for teachers can be a great holiday present — or simply a way to show your appreciation for their dedication and hard work.

Charm bracelets

 

Charm bracelets are great gifts because they can be customized. This can be given as a bracelet with a simple teacher’s charm, apple or engraved charm. This way the teacher can add on their own charms to create a piece they can wear for any occasion. 

Another great idea is to have other parents chip in for the charm bracelet and have each child give their own charm to the teacher. This is a way to coordinate with other parents for an end-of-year gift that will symbolize that class. Classic Charms has a large variety of teacher friendly charms from sterling silver No. 2 pencils to engraved apples reading “No. 1 teacher.” The charms are moderately priced but will make a combined gift for the teacher that will be cherished for a lifetime.

Pendant

Pendants are also good gifts for teachers because they can be interchanged with differing necklaces. An engraved pendant is a great idea. The front of the pendant can be a classic apple design while the back can read the child’s name and year of enrollment in that teacher’s class. This is a way to show your appreciation to the teacher while giving them a gift that can be worn on different occasions.

Not all pendants need to be in the design of a teacher oriented theme. Purchasing a simple round or heart-shaped pendant can make the jewelry gift that much more special because it can be worn for many occasions.

Brooch

 

Brooches aren’t as popular as they used to be, but their uniqueness is why many people find them to be great gifts. They will be treasured for their old-fashioned charm and the sparkle they can bring to any outfit. Brooches come in a variety of styles — many of them with a teacher theme. 

When it comes to purchasing a gift for a teacher, the key thing to remember is the fact that teachers appreciate any extra show of appreciation from a parent and child. Jewelry is a great way to show the thought and care behind the gift and give the teacher an item they can wear long after your child leaves their care.
