| How to Choose Jewelry for a Special Occasion? |
| Feb-04-2008 |
Jewelry is a popular gift choice that can fit into every special occasion. Not only is it beautiful and romantic, jewelry endures while flowers and candy are soon gone. You don't have to spend a fortune to find the perfect piece of thoughtful jewelry. Whether you decide on heart shapes, sentimental engraving or red, violet or pink gemstones for your loved one, be sure you make your gift unique and personal.
Perfect Presentation
 A heart-shaped locket pendant necklace is classically romantic, but is still unique and personalized when you take the time to fit special photographs inside and have a sentimental engraving done on the back of the pendant. Smaller jewelry items such as a ring, a charm, cuff links or stud earrings can be carefully wrapped in tissue paper and strategically placed along with the pieces of candy in a heart-shaped box of chocolates.
If a light-hearted approach is the way to your loved one's heart, caboodles of candy conversation hearts surrounding a piece of jewelry in the presentation box can make for a fun surprise when the box is opened. If the color of the jewelry suits it, you can use red cinnamon candy hearts in the box if you're looking for a more dramatic and elegant statement. A gift of a charm can be playfully romantic when it's accompanied by a hand-made card written by the recipient's "Prince Charming."
Hearts and Flowers
When buying heart-shaped jewelry, consider your love's style. Would she prefer the sparkly elegance of a pave heart, the classic appeal of a puffed heart or the modern appeal of a twisted, freeform heart? Think about her favorite jewelry for clues about metal color as well as style. Besides heart-shaped pendants, rings and earrings, you may also want to consider a heart-shaped watch or a bracelet with a heart motif.
If your loved one loves flowers, you can give lasting flowers in the form of jewelry. Floral-motif necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings and more are available in many different styles and price ranges. Floral engraving can also be added to the outside of plain rings or pendants and you may want to include both your own and your loved one's initials into the pattern for a custom design.
Romantic Colors
If your love adores red, you can opt for a ruby, garnet or red cubic zirconium, depending on your budget. If your sweetie prefers pink, consider rose quartz, cubic zirconium or pink tanzanite. Purple tanzanite is a pretty possibility for those with a passion for purple. Amethysts may be a welcome alternative for those with February birthdays since amethyst is a popular birthstone for this month.
What if the piece of jewelry you have your eye on is not a color traditionally associated with romance? In that case, a little creativity and heartfelt sentiment on your part can turn it into a thoughtful and memorable gift. For example, you can give a blue sapphire, or other blue gemstone, piece with the message "I feel blue without you." |
