Rochelle Humes reveals her top Abbott Lyon jewellery gifts for Christmas after landing new role

Rochelle Humes is getting ahead of Christmas, and she's sharing the jewellery gifts she's choosing for her family this year after being named Abbott Lyon's first-ever Chief of Gifting. The TV presenter has teamed up with the jewellery brand as its new ambassador, fronting its festive collection, The Story of Us. Designed around personal memories and meaningful milestones, the range features custom birthstones, engraved messages and even treasured photographs, giving shoppers the chance to create a Christmas present with a personal touch.

And Rochelle, who describes herself as a self-confessed 'Mrs Christmas', says she starts thinking about presents as early as July. "I'm obsessed with finding the perfect gift for my family and friends, and I honestly start thinking about Christmas presents in July!" she said. "My rule is always to start with something beautiful, then make it personal."

So, what jewellery has caught her eye? Rochelle's picks include personalised lockets, birthstone bangles and delicate pieces designed to celebrate the people closest to you.

The Story of Us Oval Locket Necklaces, £119, are among the standout gifts. You can choose two or four photographs, add up to five birthstones and personalise the jewellery with engraved initials and a hidden message on the reverse. It's a lovely idea for someone who wants to keep family memories close, rather than simply giving another piece of jewellery.

For a bracelet lover, the Story of Us Birthstone Bangle, £99, can be customised with seven stones representing important months or milestones. There's also space for a secret engraving inside, whether that's a special date, initials or a few meaningful words. Available with gold or silver-tone plating, it's made from water-resistant stainless steel.

If you're shopping for a more affordable personalised present, the Story of Us Birthstone Heart Signet Rings cost £59. Each can feature an initial surrounded by up to five birthstones, making it a thoughtful gift for a mum, sister or friend. Another option is the Story of Us Coin Necklace, £79, which features five milestone birthstones across Abbott Lyon's signature organic coin design, with custom engraving on the reverse.

Every piece comes with a personalised story card explaining the meaning behind its chosen stones and details, adding another special touch when the gift is unwrapped. The collection offers a range of options for anyone looking for a Christmas gift that feels a little more thoughtful than a standard jewellery present.
