Buy her earrings, a necklace, or a ring on an adjustable band, and there is no size to choose at checkout. Every piece under $150 in our gift edit is a pair of earrings. Nearly every ring we sell (not counting sets) sits on an adjustable band. Every necklace below is on an adjustable chain. Here is each budget, what it buys, and the one date that matters before Christmas.
Short on time? Our Christmas gift guide has the three pieces we would start with, a pick for every budget, and the estimated order-by dates, all on one page.

Why the size question matters more than the budget
The real risk is not overspending. It is spending real money on a ring she will see every day, then getting the size wrong. A ring that does not fit goes into a drawer or back to a jeweler for resizing, and the moment is gone.
We also want to say this before you choose, not after: we do not take change-of-mind returns. If a piece arrives damaged, defective or not what you ordered, tell us within 7 days of delivery and we replace it, or refund it where we cannot. A wrong size is not covered. That is exactly why we chose pieces that never ask you to guess a size.
Every piece is lab-created moissanite in 925 sterling silver, platinum-plated. Shipping is free on orders over $150 and a flat $8.99 below that.
Under $150: earrings, so there is nothing to measure
Our gifts under $150 are pairs of earrings, from $99 to $149. Earrings are the simplest first gift: there is no size to get wrong. If you are unsure how big a stud will look, our guide to moissanite stud sizes in millimeters lists what most of our pairs measure.

$150 to $250: a ring that adjusts
In this budget, most rings need no size. Nearly every ring we sell (not counting sets) sits on an adjustable band: it opens and closes to fit a range of sizes, so there is no size to choose at checkout. The $150 to $250 gift edit holds the adjustable rings at this price, along with studs, drops and necklaces.

Eclipse Eternity Band, $225. The one exception: it is offered in US sizes 6, 7 and 8, so it needs her size. If you do not know it, choose one of the adjustable rings above.
Over $250: necklaces on adjustable chains
Above $250 we picked necklaces first, because a necklace on an adjustable chain has no fit question either. The gift edit at this price also holds rings on adjustable bands, earrings and sets.

If she reaches for earrings more than necklaces, the Helix Halo Drops are this budget's pair: a halo around the stone, then a spiral drop that turns when she does.
If you want to give a ring anyway
Choose one on an adjustable band. We do not publish the exact range each band covers, so if her fingers are noticeably small or large, write to hello@maisonnoctaura.com before you order and we will tell you what we know. If you can borrow a ring she already wears on that finger, our sizing page shows how to read its size.
The metal matters for a ring she will wear daily. Sterling silver is softer than 14k gold or platinum, and we say so plainly in is sterling silver good for a moissanite ring, along with how to keep it bright.
When to order for Christmas
Our published delivery window for the United States is 5–8 business days, counted from the day you order, with preparation included. Counting business days back from December 24 and leaving a small buffer, that means order by Wednesday, December 9 (estimated) for US delivery by Christmas Eve, December 24. Later orders may still arrive, but December 9 is an estimate, not a guarantee, and we have not yet measured delivery on a shipped order, so earlier is safer. Other countries take longer; the windows are on our shipping policy.
When it arrives, a little care keeps the silver bright through the season: our guide to caring for moissanite and sterling silver is a short read.
Questions gift buyers ask
Do any of these need her ring size?
Earrings and necklaces never do. Nearly every ring we sell (not counting sets) is on an adjustable band. The Eclipse Eternity Band is the exception, offered in US 6, 7 and 8.
Can she return it if it is not her style?
No. We take no change-of-mind returns. Damaged, defective or incorrect items are replaced, or refunded where we cannot replace them, if you write to us within 7 days of delivery.
Is moissanite a real gemstone?
Yes. Moissanite is silicon carbide, a gemstone in its own right, and ours is lab-created. It is 9.25 on the Mohs scale, hard enough for daily wear. We sell it by its own name: lab-created moissanite.
Is shipping free?
On orders over $150, yes. Below that it is a flat $8.99.
Does it come with a certificate?
Most of them. Our production partner states that moissanite of 0.1 ct and above ships with a GRA certificate for the stone, which covers our moissanite pieces except three: the Eclipse Eternity Band, the Orbital Crossing Band and the Crescent Arc Climbers. Each piece's page says which applies. A GRA certificate is not a GIA grading report.
