Content Provided By Jewelry Television
Jewelry Television (ARA) - When last-minute-gift panic sets in, it's easy to blow your budget in your haste to purchase that perfect present. When the clock is ticking because the holidays are right around the corner, take a breath; consider the recipient and you can find great gifts that won't break the budget.
You can't go wrong with jewelry, particularly for women. The experts at Jewelry Television offer this season's five best affordable jewelry gifts:
Treasures from the Ocean
A strand of pearls will delight any woman of any age from teenagers to grandmothers. If you're purchasing a woman's first strand of pearls, go with a traditional white or ivory necklace. If your recipient is a seasoned pearl wearer, branch out with pearls available in unusual shapes, sizes and colors. A black pearl ring or golden pearl earrings are a rich and lustrous surprise.
Think Birthday
Birthstone jewelry is a thoughtful way to show loved ones you are celebrating them. Popular no matter what month the recipient has a birthday, birthstone jewelry is especially appreciated for those celebrating around the holidays. Here's Jewelry TV's helpful primer for seasonal birthday jewels:
* November -- Citrine. Celebrate the colors of fall with jewelry in light yellow to deep golden tones.
* December -- Topaz. These beautiful and versatile jewels come in shades from clear blue to white with sage green undertones.
* January -- Garnet. Think outside the box and move away from the traditional red garnet. Try gorgeous green, raspberry or brown garnets for a modern twist on the traditional birthstone gift.
* February -- Amethyst. Purple jewels offer an unusual (and often favorite) color option. Make Aquarian ears shine with a set of amethyst earrings.
Rare and Exotic
Tanzanite is mined exclusively in the Merelani Hills of Northern Tanzania. Legend says that it was discovered in the 1960s by a Masai tribesman when a brush fire, created by lightning, heated the brown stones to a vivid blue. Because of its beautiful and unusual color, Tanzanite is the perfect stone for a trendy cocktail ring. A top style with celebrities, an oversized Tanzanite cocktail ring will add extra color and bling to any outfit. While this jewel may be a bit of a splurge, a small gem makes a big impact.
Bigger, Bolder Looks
Sterling silver is an affordable way to give bigger, bolder and trendier jewelry on a limited budget. For several looks with just one piece of jewelry, try an interchangeable Millefiori (Venetian glass) pendant on a sterling silver chain. For the gentlemen on your list, a pair of sterling silver cufflinks is a great last minute gift.
Be Charming
Start a new tradition by giving a charm bracelet and adding meaningful charms. Start with a sterling silver or 14k gold bracelet and add on each year with charms that celebrate occasions like Mother's Day, engraveable charms to commemorate special dates and even tiny picture frames for that priceless photo.
