President Xi Jinping and wife Peng Liyuan visited the US in April 2017 and Donald and Melania Trump weren’t the only people in the White House to get impressive gifts out of it. Madam Peng gave Ivanka a silver-toned brass jewellery box with rosettes on the exterior and faux diamonds, according to a federal report. While the diamonds are thought to be fake, the box was decorated in real pearls.

Ivanka was also given a gold-plated sterling silver jewellery set consisting of a brooch, earrings with real pearls, and a dangling white ovoid in a gold-plated mount.

The jewellery, box worth US$1,200, and jewellery set worth US$750, was presented to the businesswoman shortly before she announced she was shutting down her Ivanka Trump Fine Jewels line to focus on her career in politics.

Japan

With her father criticised for spending too much time on the golf course instead of in the Oval Office, and with him owning golf resorts around the world, a putter, by Maruman, was the obvious gift of choice for Satsuki Katayama, of Japan’s House of Councillors (the upper house of the parliament). The putter features an American flag and is engraved with “Ivanka Marie Trump”.

A month earlier the former prime minister’s wife, Akie Abe, gave Ivanka a Bao Bao Issey Miyake handbag in beige worth US$495.

Egypt

It’s not Ivanka’s usual style of accessorising, but President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi gave her a cuff bracelet featuring a scarab beetle in April 2017. The creature, a kind of dung beetle, is revered in Egypt as a symbol of renewal and transformation. The item is believed to be worth US$630.

Saudi Arabia

During a family trip to Saudi Arabia in July 2017, Ivanka and Melania were criticised for forgoing the traditional headscarf – despite Donald Trump tweeting years earlier that people there were offended when then-first lady Michelle Obama didn’t cover her head in the country. Although the Trump women wore some outfits that slightly resembled an abaya (a long robe covering all the body, though not the head), Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, then deputy crown prince felt the appropriate gift for Ivanka was some traditional garments. Ivanka got three different styles of “bisht” cloaks, with an estimated value altogether of US$700.
