The SOHMO Gold Thimble is the kind that actually gets used. Made in Italy from metal with a warm gold finish, smooth on the finger without being slippery, and sized at 17mm to fit most fingers comfortably over the thimble-wearing knuckle.
 
The dimpled surface grips the needle head reliably as you push through fabric - which is the whole point of a thimble, and something cheaper versions fail at consistently. Whether you're hand quilting, stitching EPP hexagons, working through canvas or denim for button attachment, or simply doing any hand sewing that involves pushing a needle through multiple layers, a good thimble is the difference between comfortable, sustained stitching and a sore fingertip by the end of the session.

Presented in a soft vinyl pouch and polished enough to give as a gift. A genuinely thoughtful addition to any hand sewist's kit, and one of the more affordable ways to upgrade your sewing experience.
