Jewelry: Making Spirits Bright

If you want to give the gift of romance this holiday season, just say hello to jewelry. From diamond pendant journeys to diamond stud earrings, jewelry pieces are making their way onto many ladies’ wish lists.

But with so many jewelry options out there, it’s hard for the average Joe to know what the top trends are and what ladies want most. To ease the holiday shopping process, here is a look at what trends will dominate this season.

A top Christmas jewelry trend will be diamonds paired with white gold. White on white is great for the winter season and makes it way into designs ranging from earrings to cuffs.

This doesn’t mean color contrasts aren’t in. Opposites attract after all. No surprise, then that a black and white motif continues to have fashion prowess on jewels, making for great holiday gifts. Think black and white diamonds paired on white gold or blackened gold.

Another trend surfacing this holiday season is sentimental jewelry. People like to get personal, at least when it comes to their loves and what gifts they give them. This means initials or significant numbers make their way onto pieces ranging from diamond pendants to diamond engagement rings. Sometimes a catch phrase like “love” or “green” helps personalize the jewels, too.

The turbulent economic environment is making consumers want versatile items this holiday season because it makes something excessive into more of a practical purchase. Even for jewelry. For example, earrings with dangling gemstones that can be switched out offer this versatile look.

White on white, black and white, sentimental jewelry and versatile accessories are the top jewelry trends this season. Now the question becomes what to get for whom. Gift giving can run off course into the abyss of inappropriate, so here are some suggestions that should save you from exchanges.

Looking to buy a present for your girlfriend of one to two years? Stay away from gifts like clothes, which might not fit, and think more along the lines of diamond dangling earrings or a journey diamond pendant. She’ll appreciate it, which will make you appreciate it.

Don’t forget mom either. A white gold journey diamond heart pendant will show her that you care. Dangling earrings are a great option too. Pick a pair with the white and black motif to keep her in style, too.

Pearl necklaces and diamond studs make for great gifts for younger daughters. I should know, having received both back in the day. Talk about keepsakes. The jewels still make their way into my jewelry wardrobe.

Don’t neglect the men in your life either. Cuff links, watches or even a diamond stud earring make for great jewelry presents.

Santa Claus is coming to town soon, bringing a lot of jewelry and truly making spirits bright.
