Pendientes Eclipse Solar de María del Pino en plata y oro vermeil

Christmas Gift Guide 2026: Jewelry Inspired by the Universe

2026 was the year of the eclipse. On August 12, millions of people looked up to watch the first total solar eclipse visible from Spain in more than a century. If you want your gift to tell a story this Christmas, the universe has plenty to offer.

María del Pino Solar Eclipse cufflinks worn with a tuxedo

In this guide I've gathered my favorite pieces to give. All of them are designed by me and handmade in artisan workshops in Madrid, in sterling silver and gold vermeil.

Gifts for him: cufflinks with a story

Men rarely receive jewelry, which is why a good pair of cufflinks is a genuine surprise. They're a piece to keep for life, worn at weddings, dinners and celebrations, and they can be personalized. Here are three:

Solar Eclipse Cufflinks

Solar Eclipse cufflinks in textured silver with a gold vermeil edge

The piece of the year. They recreate a total eclipse: oxidized silver plays the shadow, like the disc of the Moon, and the gold vermeil edge is the Sun's ring of light. A keepsake you can wear from the day it turned to night in broad daylight.

Waves Cufflinks with rubies

Waves cufflinks in silver and gold vermeil with raw ruby on shirt cuffs

Spirals of silver opening around a raw ruby, framed by a ring of gold vermeil. Since no two raw rubies are alike, every pair is unique.

Lunar Seas Cufflinks

Lunar Seas cufflinks with a white shirt in a formal look

An irregular disc of silver and gold vermeil with a relief that recalls the Moon's craters. Understated, versatile and full of character.

A detail that makes the difference: engraving

All cufflinks can be engraved on the swivel back with initials, a date or a short name. Just check the engraving option on the product page before adding them to your cart. Please note that engraved pieces can't be returned.

Gifts for her

Solar Eclipse Earrings

Solar Eclipse earrings in silver and gold vermeil, worn

Two circles, one in silver and one in gold vermeil, overlapping like the Moon passing in front of the Sun. Because they mix both metals, they go with any jewelry.

Galaxy Earrings

Model wearing the Galaxy earrings in gold vermeil

A tiny spiral galaxy for each ear, in hand-hammered gold vermeil. Just as lovely with jeans as with a party dress.

Orbit Earrings

Orbit earrings in gold vermeil, worn

Elongated ovals in hand-hammered gold vermeil, inspired by the paths of the planets.

Black Hole Pendant

A hammered oval shape that catches the light like matter swirling around the invisible. Easy to wear every day, on its own or layered with other chains.

Gifts for couples

Some pieces are designed to go together. The Solar Eclipse Cufflinks and Earrings share the same design: a gift for two people who watched the eclipse together, or for a couple who share a passion for the sky. The Lunar Seas Cufflinks match the Lunar Seas Pendant, with two natural rubies.
