Eid al-Adha gift ideas

Eid al-Adha or the Feast of Sacrifice, is celebrated by Muslims all over the world as a major holiday for a period of three to fours days. The majority of Muslims will attend the special prayers held at different major mosques and Islamic centers all over the world.

Significant part of this day is to exchange gifts, known as ‘Eidi’. Traditionally, gifts are given by elder members of the family to the children. This may include money, toys, clothes or perfume based on the age of the children. However, gift giving does not need to be restricted to only children. 

This Eid, you can give the special people in your life something that is meaningful and shows how much you care about them. If you don’t know what to give as a gift try visiting JTC wow to discover jewelries such as crafted necklaces in gold and silver, intricately designed bangles studded with gems and precious stones and so on.

Adorning oneself with jewelry during the festive occasion is a way to express individual style and beauty while respecting the heritage. If you would like to customize a jewelry to turn it into a gift for someone, sourcing gemstones on GemTrust.io is also ideal.

Gifts that are usually given during the festival includes a statement necklace or an elaborate necklace known as ‘haar’, it is often adorned with gemstones, pearls, and intricate metalwork reflecting the opulence of the festival. 

Delicate jhumkas on your ears along with ‘choodis’ on your hands, an emerald studded ring, will complement your Eid ensemble as well.

Simple and lightweight bracelets and pendants featuring a crescent moon, stars or islamic calligraphy will make charming choices for the minimalist.

Wearing an Aqeeq or Agate gemstone ring is also a prophetic practice as the Prophet (pbuh) would be seen with an Aqeeq ring. 

We hope these ideas will help fill the air with warmth as Muslims exchange "Eidi," a gesture of love and generosity with gemstones and jewelry from our online marketplaces.
