If you want to see their
eyes light up, big smiles on their faces, and loud
exclamations, give a special gift of jewelry. Jewelry is
appreciated by men, women, and children. Personal selections
based on the taste of the recipient always receive special
attention and are shown off to anyone who will look.
Jewelry is often given as a remembrance for a
special event. There are rings and bracelets for babies,
personalized gifts for children and teens, and sparklers for
the adults.
Mothers and grandmothers are appreciative of
jewelry that has the birthstones of their children or
grandchildren. There are bracelets and lockets on which the
pictures of their children or grandchildren can be
engraved.
Wives and sweethearts love jewelry that is
given on a special occasion. An anniversary ring given during a
candle lit dinner is a romantic gesture that says "I will
always love you." Charm bracelets to which a charm is added for
each birthday is a gift a girl will adore.
My husband gave me a charm bracelet with a
single charm. It was a bottle of champagne in a bucket to
signify our first date. He added charms over the years from
places we visited and on occasions such as our tenth
anniversary together. Whenever I wear the bracelet, some of the
charms are so unusual that someone always ask me what they
mean. I love to tell the stories.
Another interesting gift I received is a
necklace that holds charms. The charms on that necklace also
have specific meanings.
A teenage girl's first prom is a jewelry giving
occasion. Give her a necklace that matches her dress or
give her a gold chain with a small diamond pendant. It is
something she will treasure forever.
There are fads and fashion changes in jewelry.
But there are classics such as solitaire diamond rings and
earrings, birthstone rings, gold earrings, and necklaces.
Boys like jewelry, too. But their tastes are
varied. They usually choose leather necklaces with pendants or
leather bands as bracelets. Some like personalized ID
bracelets. Some wear one or two gold earrings.
Men are still wearing gold necklaces and
bracelets. Make sure you know the fashion taste of the
recipient before buying. For casual wear, they may choose
leather necklaces with a pendant or one made with puka
shells.
There is a special piece of jewelry waiting for
the recipient of your gift.
