why have a luxury gift guide all in one color?

Here at Dandelion Chandelier, we’ve created curated lists of all-of-a-color luxury items and experiences for those who love a particular hue – or whose gift recipients do.

Why? Because for starters, it’s an easier way to shop. Your eye can focus on just one shade in the visual cacophony at retail, or you can more easily search for ideas online.

Second, when the presents are open, everything looks great together! What could be better for your Instagram posts? Color-coding is clearly the way to go if you want to look pulled-together for posterity. 

Finally, it’s just fun for someone who loves color, and shopping, and whimsy (that would be us). ‘Cause why not?

we love the color blue for luxury gifts

It has been reported that blue is the most popular color in the entire world. And for good reason. In a swarm of chaos, blue is calming, dependable, and easy on the eyes. It can take a day of stress and turn it into one of peace and tranquility. And certain shades of blue, like navy, look great on everyone.

Of course, there is an enormous range of shades of blue. And perhaps more than with any color, each one provokes an entirely different emotion. Light blue reminds us of springtime, while dark blue makes us feel like we are floating among the stars in outer space. From the sky to the sea, it is a color that is as deeply rooted in nature as it is in our dreams.

For all these reasons and more, we’ve assembled a luxury gift guide of the best in the color blue right now. Books, jewelry, coats and more – everything you need to keep everyone on your gift list happy.

guide to the best luxury gifts in the color blue

1. Fine and bijoux Jewelry 

There are so many gorgeous stones in shades of blue that fine jewelry is a place to start (and perhaps end) your search for the perfect gift for someone who loves the color blue. 

On our wish list? Kavant & Sharart Geoart Puzzle Cascade earrings ($9, 900). Maria Jose Jewelry‘s cushion-cut sapphire, white gold and diamond cocktail ring ($35,000). And this McTeigue & McClelland six-panel blue sapphire and diamond pierced flora noir bracelet ($125,000).

Anabela Chan’s Butterfly Orchard collection is inspired by magical gardens in full bloom. This Aqua Swallowtail ring is handcrafted from 18-karat white and yellow gold vermeil with a solitaire aquamarine stone at the center. The Cinderella ring ($1,845) and the Sapphire mirage ($2, 000) would be perfect gifts for someone who really loves blue.

These bijoux blue Newton earrings from Maryjane Claverol ($169) would be perfect with denim on a hot sunny day. This spiral black rhodium-plated silver ring adorned with lab sapphires ($1,900) is designed by Lynn Ban and meant to embody strength and integrity. And Carolina Bucci’s cobalt Caro bracelet ($440) with contrasting loops of vibrant cobalt thread and gold chain would be great alone or stacked with lots of others.

2. Designer Handbags 

A blue bag can go with almost anything, and can also add a gorgeous color pop. For example, this butterfly box clutch ($2,890) from Alexander McQueen in a cool pale blue satin. Or for something really eye-catching, this mini baguette bag ($2,100) from FENDI comes in glorious aqua. So bright and fun you’ll want to take it everywhere.

Also in shades of light blue, Olympia Le-Tan delivers a gorgeous homage to the blue sky and blue ocean of The Hamptons ($1,773).

Off-White brings a shimmer of icy blue in its Jitney mini suede shoulder bag ($1,310). The royal-blue velvet and antiqued gold-tone metal hardware makes Gucci’s GG Marmont cross-body bag ($1,610) really special.  Saint Laurent’s Carré leather cross-body bag ($1,890) in navy is so versatile that it could become your gift recipient’s every day go-to bag.

3. Outerwear and accessories

A navy blue pea coat is an absolute classic piece of outwear. But there are lots of other ways to play blue in jackets and coats.

KHAITE is a hot brand in contemporary apparel, and we love this navy Roman wool-blend trench ($2,304). Balenciaga’s electric blue New Swing puffer jacket ($2,690) would light up even the grayest winter day. So would Moncler’s Copenhagen down jacket ($1,210).

To add a pop of blue to a coat or a jacket they already own, you could go big with this FENDI blue fox fur stole ($2,890). Or take a lighter-weight approach with this Acne Studios’ blue Victoria scarf ($300).

If your gift recipient lives in a warm weather climate, there are happy blues galore. We love these cat-eye sunglasses from Miu Miu ($223), with glitter and a cool silhouette. Ganni’s floral silk hair tie channels the vibe from the Scandinavian brand’s fall collection ($25).  Philippa Craddock is the floral artist who did Meghan and Harry’s wedding, and this Delphinium faux floral headband ($655) is handcrafted to light up a summer evening under the stars.

4. Sweet Dreams

For a gift recipient who really loves blue, why not let them drift off for the night surrounded by their favorite color? A soft pajama set like this pair by Rails ($160) is perfect for helping them unwind. And we love the celestial print.

Pair it with this elegant navy blue silk eye mask from Slip ($50) and this soft and cozy “Flora” robe from Hanro ($280). 

5. Scented candles

If you love blue jeans, you might also love a candle that’s the shade of a favorite pair of jeans. MiH Jeans has collaborated with Le Feu de L’Eau to create this ‘Bleu Nuit’ candle. It’s crafted using an innovative underwater technique and hand-mixed dyes, made of soy wax stained with a unique indigo finish and scented with sweet-smelling black and redcurrants. 

This jewel-colored “Madurai” candle from Cire Trudon ($115) is influenced by jasmine’s “quintessential role in India’s myths, legends and daily rituals.” It has top notes of ylang-ylang and base notes of Benzoin Resin, and is housed in a navy glass vessel hand-blown by artisans in Italy.

Or for romantics and dreamers, what could be better than this Night Music scented candle from Bella Freud Parfum? It has notes of powder, iris, amber and elemi for a warm and familiar aroma.

6. Home Decor

The stormy cloud of indigo on this white bowl ($55) echoes the inspirations of meteorological formations throughout 1882 X Faye Toogood’s collaboration. Pair it with this dark-blue vase ($75) from Raawii, which is crafted from ceramic and a component of Nicholai Wiig-Hansen’s StrØm collection. 

For a very different feeling, we love this Shona Marsh Facets collection Midnight Blue ice bucket (£180). And the dreamy dark blue Made by Rain porcelain platter ($280). Textile artist Aliki van der Kruijs’ textile collaborated with potter Fukusengama and developed a process to ‘draw’ on porcelain with the rain.

We really love this whimsical The Sky was Blue blanket ($944) from Ashish, with a poem in black letters on a blue floral background.

Vladimir Kanevsky’s hydrangea ($4,500) is handcrafted from the finest porcelain.

8. Something To Read

What could be more appropriate than Bluets ($16) by Maggie Nelson? What begins as a literal exploration of an infatuation with the color blue turns into a long lyrical essay that is unlike anything you have ever read. Explore the universe through Nelson’s unique eyes, and through the lens of the color blue.

And you’ve probably heard of Red, White and Royal Blue ($16.99) by Casey McQuiston, the charming romance novel that took the Internet by storm this summer.

And as the universe mourns the passing of the irreplaceable Toni Morrison, now is a great time to revisit her very first book, the The Bluest Eye ($14.95), which is a coming of age novel about a young black girl growing up in Lorain, Ohio.

9. Blue-Themed Travel

Take a trip to the Blue Mountains in New South Wales, Australia. Called the Blue Mountains because of their hue when viewed from a distance, staring into this gorgeous valley would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Or consider the gift of a visit to some of the bluest waters anyone has ever seen. Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia is a forest reserve full of waterfalls, gorgeous blue pools, and enormous canyons.       

And to match the destination of your gift trip, you can also give the gift of one of these chic blue suitcases. The blue and cream stripes accenting this cabin case ($1,713) from Globe-Trotter’s latest collection reflect the serene ocean landscapes of the Riviera. The larger Riviera Centenary suitcase ($1,784) in ocean-blue nods to the joys of the coastal Mediterranean lifestyle.

10. Blues Music

Celebrate the color blue with some amazing Blues music. Order Live In Cook County Jail from B.B. King ($24.98), That’s My Story: John Lee Hooker Sings The Blues  from John Lee Hooker ($15) or Crying Time by Ray Charles, three incredible Blues albums from three iconic musicians – all on vinyl.

11. Just for Fun

Ripley’s Game Room makes an adorable travel set of chess and checkers ($32) – one board, two seats of blue pieces, so you can bring a bright blue game with you wherever you may go. This muted navy box of dominoes ($160) will look great on any shelf.

Edie Parker has a gorgeous starry blue solar system puzzle box ($1,395) that could be a focal point at a cocktail or dinner party.  And, if you really want your gift recipient to thrill their party guests, consider this glittery blue Ouija board ($1,995) from the brand – it might give people stories to tell for many years to come.
