At Vanscoy, Maurer & Bash Diamond Jewelers in the heart of Lancaster, PA, we believe birthdays should be celebrated with style, sparkle, and sentiment. Whether you're shopping for your spouse, best friend, parent, or even treating yourself, birthdays are the perfect excuse to gift something meaningful and totally fabulous.
We’re talking about jewelry that tells a story. Jewelry that turns heads. Jewelry that gets that genuine “Oh my gosh, I love it!” reaction. And lucky for you, we have two incredible collections filled with pieces that are ready to shine on someone's big day: David Yurman and our Estate Jewelry collection.
Let’s walk through some birthday gifting ideas that feel personal, luxurious, and unforgettable.
Why Go Custom with Birthday Jewelry?
Custom design doesn’t always mean starting from scratch with a sketch and a gemstone. Custom can mean choosing a piece that fits the recipient’s style, story, and milestone. Maybe it’s a pendant with their birthstone, a vintage-inspired bracelet that brings back a memory, or a designer ring that matches their favorite handbag.
At Vanscoy, Maurer & Bash, we’re here to help you find the perfect piece that feels as unique as they are. Our experienced team is always happy to guide you.
Luxe & Iconic: Birthday Gifts from David Yurman
If the person you're shopping for loves luxury, you can't go wrong with David Yurman. Known for his signature cable designs and mixed-metal masterpieces, this collection is for the birthday VIPs who appreciate timeless glamour with a modern twist.
Here are a few David Yurman favorites that make birthday dreams come true:
-
Cable Classics Bracelet: This is the ultimate David Yurman icon. Choose from sterling silver or 18K gold with gemstone end caps. It's sleek, stackable, and instantly elevates any outfit.

Petite Albion Ring: Set with beautiful colored gemstones like blue topaz, citrine, or amethyst, this ring makes a bold statement while still feeling wearable every day.

Pairing David Yurman with a handwritten birthday card and a little ribbon? That’s birthday magic.
Vintage Soul, Timeless Style: Birthday Gifting with Estate Jewelry
If you're shopping for someone who loves vintage fashion, appreciates sustainability, or enjoys the thrill of a one-of-a-kind treasure, estate jewelry is where it’s at.
Our Estate Jewelry Collection is full of hand-picked, pre-loved pieces that range from Art Deco elegance to mid-century glam. These aren’t just gifts. They’re pieces of history.
Some ideas to inspire your estate gifting:
-
Vintage Cocktail Rings: Perfect for milestone birthdays like 30, 40, 50 or beyond. These bold, unique rings feel like something you'd find in a jewelry box passed down for generations.
-
Antique Lockets: Add a photo or engraving for an ultra-personal touch. Great for moms, grandmothers, or sentimental souls.
-
Gold Chain Bracelets & Necklaces: Classic and endlessly versatile. These pieces can be dressed up or down and layered with modern styles.
Estate pieces make incredible birthday gifts because each one is unique. You're not just giving a necklace. You're giving a little piece of the past that can be loved into the future.
