No, you haven't entered a time warp. It is still August, and yes, I'm writing about advent calendars.
Whether you're Christmas obsessed or you just love a great deal, you'll want to take a look at these jewellery advent calendars as they're some of the most highly-anticipated Christmas countdowns.
The likes of Missoma and Liberty London offer collections of bestselling pieces at a far more affordable price point than if you were to buy them separately.
Inside each calendar you'll find necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings that you can wear over Christmas and far beyond, with many also including other accessories.
As well as this, the boxes make stunning Christmas decorations to display in your home, and many can be kept and reused to store your jewellery long after the festivities are over.
The 2024 jewellery advent calendars are yet to be released, but if you need a refresher on what was on offer or you'd like to sign up to the waiting lists that are already live, scroll on...
When do jewellery advent calendars come out?
Jewellery advent calendars usually drop in the first week of October, with one or two released slightly earlier in September. Waiting lists open several weeks before, and it's worth signing up as the top brands sell out super quickly. Keep checking back as I'll be updating this page as soon as they drop.
How I chose the best jewellery advent calendars
- Brands: From royal-favourite Missoma to the much-loved Astrid & Miyu, I'll only include jewellery advent calendars from HELLO!'s favourite, most trusted brands.
- Price: While jewellery advent calendars don't come cheap, each one I feature in this edit will likely be worth considerably more than its RRP.
- Sustainability: Where possible I will only included options that come in reusable packaging, like the beautiful jewellery boxes you'll see below.
Astrid & Miyu Jewellery Advent Calendar 2024
Editor's Note:
You can already sign up for early access to Astrid & Miyu's 2024 jewellery advent calendar.
Last year there were not one but three stunning jewellery advent calendars on offer. Full of dreamy, bestselling pieces and worth over £604, the 12-day advent calendar was priced at £325. While the sell-out 24-day advent calendar retailed for £635 and was worth over £1,300.
For those looking to really treat themselves, there was also a solid gold advent calendar for £995. It included five key pieces, all made from 14k gold and semi-precious white topaz stones.
Missoma Jewellery Advent Calendar 2024
Editor's Note:
Missoma is always one of the advent calendars I'm most excited about. The coveted jewellery brand is a favourite of both Princess Kate and Duchess Meghan, and it sells out quickly every year.
Details of the 2024 advent calendar are yet to be released, but if last year's is anything to go, it will be pretty special. 12 Days of Missoma was worth £917 and retailed for £395 - that's a saving of £522! Inside you'd find the likes of the Lucy Williams Tiny Orb Hoops, the Interstellar Drop Bracelet and the Harris Reed North Star Necklace.
I loved the resuable jewellery box it came in too. Handcrafted from FSC certified wood-free paper with a jewel tone interior, it was made up of 12 multi-coloured gift boxes and had a mirror inside.
Liberty London Jewellery Advent Calendar 2024
Editor's Note:
Liberty London dropped their second beautiful jewellery advent calendar last year, and I'm expecting the third to be bigger and better than ever.
2023's was adorned in the brand's lavish Peacock Manor print, with each of the 12 drawers containing a piece of luxury jewellery from the likes of Otiumberg, Alighieri, Astley Clarke, and of course, Liberty.
Worth over £1,100 and retailing for £495, it was the perfect gift if you really wanted to spoil someone in the run up to Christmas (or yourself!)
Abbott Lyon Jewellery Advent Calendar 2024
Editor's Note:
With personalised birthstone and initial jewellery pieces, plus the option to add a name to the packaging, Abbott Lyon's jewellery advent calendars always make the perfect gift. They're yet to release details for 2024, but last year's contained gorgeous pieces including the Sphere Chain Necklace, Signature Initial Pendant and Baguette Birthstone Ring. It was available in both gold and silver.
Estella Bartlett Jewellery Advent Calendar 2024
© CHRIS-AYRESEditor's Note:
Valued at £348 and priced at £180, last year's Estella Bartlett jewellery advent calendar was one of the most affordable on the market. With its bold packaging, it was perfect for those who love bright home decor.
Available in gold-plated or silver, there were both classic and new designs inside, like the North Star CZ Pendant, Kiss Studs, Ditsy Miyuki Flower Bracelet and Baroque Pearl Drop Hoops.
Grove & Vae Jewellery Advent Calendar
Editor's Note:
Grove & Vae are the first to release an official image of their 2024 jewellery advent calendar - and it's a beauty.
Due to launch online in September, the twelve-day calendar will include one of their new exquisite bracelets plus items from their previous collections. Valued at over £679, it will retail at just £395.
