May Birthstone Jewelry – Emerald Broaches

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Those lucky enough to be born in May can claim Emeralds as their birthstone. Emeralds signify love, success, goodness, and fidelity. Emerald jewelry played a special role in Roman, Egyptian, and Indian history because of its brilliant green color. Cleopatra was especially fond of emeralds, her emerald mines were some of the first emerald mines on earth.

One way to show off your emerald birthstone is in a broach. Broaches have made a big comeback in Hollywood, and their popularity is spreading all over the nation. They are very versatile. You can wear broaches on scarves, coats, blouses, even in your hair. Broaches make a gorgeous accessory. Broaches can be bought new or they can be found as antiques, heirlooms.

You can even attach a broach to a chain and create a stunning necklace. Broaches are a unique and attractive way to showcase your birthstone. It can be made entirely of your birthstone, or it can be made of your birthstone gem and accented with other gems like diamonds. Like beautiful rings, broaches can be timeless. They can become a piece of jewelry that you pass down generation to generation.

Mother’s Day is Coming Soon!

In the United States, Mother’s Day is the second Sunday in May — this year on May 11th. This wonderful day lets people celebrate their mothers and the contributions of mothers to society. Many families celebrate this day together just to show their love and gratitude for all mom has done.

It is traditional to get your mom a gift on this day, whether it be a homemade breakfast, flowers, chocolates, or a fancy dinner out. Yet, some like to get a more lasting Mother’s Day Gift. We, recommend a nice piece of jewelry or a wonderful ladies watch for a Mother’s Day Gift. Pearl jewelry is especially popular, is enjoyed by most, and can be quite affordable.

However, whatever you decide to do for your mom, do it with love, caring and gratitude — as that is what this day is all about.

April Birthstone Jewelry – Diamond Jewelry

Who doesn’t love a diamond? Diamond rings are so popular for occasions like engagements, weddings, and anniversaries, that some of us forget the diamond is actually the birthstone for the month of April and that you can find diamonds on just about anything. The Greeks believed diamonds were pieces of stars that had fallen to earth. The Romans believed that cupid’s arrows were tipped with diamonds, hence their connection with love.

Obviously diamonds are not in everyone’s price range. You can find beautiful gifts that have real diamonds in a variety of sizes, cuts (princess, round, and emerald to name a few), and carat weight. The size, cut, color, and clarity of the diamond are going to determine its price. Diamond jewelry can range from affordable to extravagant. Diamonds are always an extraordinary gift, no matter what the occasion is.

An alternative to Diamond Jewelry is cubic zirconia jewelry. It is very affordable and can look exactly like diamond jewelry. You can find cubic zirconias or diamonds in rings, necklaces, bracelets, broaches, and earrings. Often, if you are searching for birthstone jewelry, the gems that are used to make it are not natural. They are created gems. This does not make them any less beautiful, or any less wonderful of a gift.

March Birthstone Jewelry – Aquamarine Charms

The March birthstone is aquamarine. Aquamarine is a subtle, yet beautiful beryl mineral that means courage. It is thought to represent understanding, foresight, making new friends, and happiness. The actual color of an aquamarine can vary from blue to blue-green. But it is typically a clear, subtle color. Its connection to the sea is appropriate, as aquamarine is derived from the Latin word meaning “water and sea”.

Traditional birthstone jewelry like birthstone rings or earrings for example, made from gems like aquamarine, don’t have to be the norm. You can also find fun and beautiful charms for bracelets and necklaces. Attaching charms of similar birthstone to a charm bracelet allows you to create a fun and creative piece that is dedicated to your birthstone gem. You not only express yourself through the use of your birthstone, but also through charms that describe your personality.

Having several birthstone pendants, charms, or slides to choose from allows you to have a different look to your necklace depending on your mood or the occasion. You can have one chain, but many different birthstone possibilities! Just think, you could purchase a chain or charm bracelet for a special woman in your life and then add to it each year by purchasing a new charm. A thoughtful gift will quickly become a tradition.

A Perfect Gift: A Name Brand Watch

A name brand watch is one of those classic gifts. Everyone needs a watch, you can personalize it based on the recipient’s style and needs, and it is always appreciated. Once the difficult decision of what to give your loved one has been made, you get to do the fun part: choosing from the large variety of name brand watches on the market. Whether you make your decision via online browsing or at your local mall, the choices will seem endless.

Know What Matters in a Name Brand Watch

Start by answering some basic questions: Are you giving a watch for a functional purpose like a sports watch, or as an accessory? Will the receiver of this name brand watch be more impressed by shimmer and shine, or longevity? Once you have an idea, you can use the list below to hone in on the perfect timepiece.

You want to give them something beautiful, something of fine quality, something that he or she will actually like and use. No one wants to be the “storage room” present. There are many classy name brand watches on the market. They are all shiny and dazzling, but which is the best choice for your hard-to-buy-for recipient?

Name Brand Watches - Something for Everyone

The Swiss Army watch collection is the cherry on top of the name brand watch sundae. They aren’t just for the MacGyver wannabes either; you can choose from a stainless steel or leather band. The dials are made with sapphire crystal or mother-of-pearl, and some are even adorned with diamonds. From classic styles for the professional man or woman to the chronographs and adventure minded, you can find something for everyone.

TAG watches combine the delicate precision of Swiss movement with the sexiness of speed to create a line of very high end name brand sports watches. There are more subtle designs available, like the one shown in ads featuring Uma Thurman. TAG Heuer is also working closely with golf superstar Tiger Woods to design the first-ever golf watch.

Tissot watches were recently chosen as the official timekeeper for NASCAR, and is busy creating a line of watches for the sport. This is a must-have for any racing enthusiast. Looking for something less sporty and more mind blowing? Check out Tissot “T-touch” watches and be ready to be amazed.

Croton watches offers a beautiful gift idea without the “name brand watch” price that tends to make you a bit squeamish. Based in New Jersey since it began in 1878, this family owned company has some of the classiest works of art on the market.

Your Name Brand Watch - Just in Time

Whether you have decided to give a gift of understated elegance or traditional swiss precision, there will be a name brand watch to fit your needs. By giving a present that is both a tool and an accessory, you guarantee that your loved one will be reminded of you every time he or she glances down at that new name brand watch. So whether you decide to go with the best warranty or the shiniest bauble you will have the piece of mind of knowing that a name brand watch makes a wonderful gift.

February Birthstone Jewelry – Amethyst

Amethyst means sincerity, tranquility, and peace. It is a member of the quartz family, and it is valued for its color, quality, and availability. It has a hardness of 7, ranges from light to dark purple, and makes very beautiful and affordable jewelry. It is so affordable because of its abundance. If amethyst was not so widely available, it would be much more expensive.

Birthstone gifts don’t only have to be given as rings. You can also give someone (or yourself!) a wonderful amethyst necklace. You can purchase a pendant that is already on a chain, or you can purchase them separately. You can find pendants that are in the shapes like hearts or small figures meant to represent the person that the birthstone is for (these are often seen on necklaces with one or more birthstone figures, usually representing children or loved ones). You can also find them paired with other gems like diamonds. The chain that you choose for your necklace will depend on the size of the pendant it is holding. Another option is a birthstone or pendant that is built-in or already attached to a chain. These pieces are usually more elaborate and extremely beautiful.

If you don’t like Amethyst, see alternative birthstones on our birthstone chart.
