Top Five Ways to Keep Your Jewelry Gift A Surprise!

When you want to give the gift of jewelry but want to keep it a surprise, follow these five tips and your wishes will come true!

1)      Browse an online jewelry store, using a secured shopping site and place your order directly over the internet. Make sure to use an email address for your order that the person you are giving the gift to does not have access to. File the electronic receipt rather than printing it and possibly leaving it around to be discovered.

2)      Change the ship to address to either your work address or the address of a friend or neighbor. This way, the person will not have the chance to sign for a package and wonder what’s inside of it.

3)      Choose something he/she will never expect! If they have been mentioning an item they would love to have but would never buy for them, find a way to buy it for them. Your attention to details will not go unnoticed!

4)      Throw them off track– Drop strategic hints about wanting to get him/her something completely different. Don’t be too obvious, subtly goes a long way!

5)      When you get your jewelry item, wrap it in something inconspicuous or oddly shaped. For example, if you bought a pair of diamond earrings, put the earrings inside a larger container before you wrap it. To keep the suspense going even longer, use the packaging from something else you would likely get.

Make A Fresh Start by Reinventing Your Jewelry Wardrobe!

New Year - New Jewelry!

It’s a New Year and new beginning for many. Along with New Years resolutions, come a desire to reinvent your personal style. This is the time of year when many people start new gym memberships, and shop for new items to give their wardrobe a new start. In addition, many retailers offer post-holiday pricing making it more affordable to purchase a few new items to help you transform your wardrobe into a fresh one!

With prices reduced up to 60% off in some cases, you can easily find deals and steals on clothing, shoes and accessories. A spring coat, pair of calf height boots and some new jewelry will renew your look.

My picks for jewelry items to add this New Year include: A pair or two of diamond drop earrings. Choose a pair in gold or platinum and add some sparkle to your everyday look.

A colorful gemstone tennis bracelet is an easy way to add color and a fresh new look to any outfit. Choose a blue sapphire gemstone bracelet to wear to dressier occasions and a peridot or blue topaz bracelet to wear for more casual occasions.

All jewelry at Anjolee is up to 60% off the retail price, proving that there are amazing deals to be found. Whether you are looking for something new to spruce up your wardrobe or something additional to create a brand new style, Anjolee has many distinctive jewelry designs to choose from.

Predictions for Jewelry Trends in 2011

Below are my predictions for what kinds of jewelry will be trendy in the upcoming year.

Kate Beckinsdale layering diamond bangles

There are two main themes: Wearable, chic, multi functional jewelry items and unique, one-of-a- kind jewelry.

Starting with the wrist, items such as bangle bracelets that can be stacked or worn in addition to a watch or diamond bracelet will be popular. Alternating metal types between the stacked bangle will be trendy. For fans of gold metal type, choose one white gold bangle, and two yellow gold bangles and alternate all three on the same wrist.

Rings have been around through much of history. When it comes to engagement rings in 2011, the trends will include vintage inspired wedding and bridal jewelry, rings with gemstones and fancy cut rings. Round diamonds rings have been the most popular to date, but celebrities have started a trend towards different cut diamond rings such as emerald, marquise or cushion cut.

Pendant necklaces are extremely versatile and can be added to any look, day or night. They are the easiest accessory to put on and take off and can coordinate with virtually any color outfit. In 2011, there will not only be an influx of interest in diamond pendants, but also in medallion and letter name pendants. Medallion pendants are round in shape and have an ornate design carved in it. Letter/name pendants can have any name or letter that is meaningful to you, making it a personal accessory that many will choose to wear.

Guide to Vintage Tennis Bracelets

If you have an eye for vintage looking jewelry, you should design your own vintage diamond tennis bracelet. Vintage inspired jewels add romance to any ensemble. Many  original jewelry designs can be traced back to the stylizations of the Victorian era or Art Deco time period. Suggestive of a time past, these precious items become the pieces we end up treasuring the most.  A vintage looking diamond bracelet can be a charming accessory that sparks conversation; others will want to know the story of your bracelet.

When you think about what makes a piece of jewelry antique or vintage inspired, it really depends on the design details. For example, diamond bracelets with a millgrain edge have a visible raised beaded edge that is created with a knurling tool or sharp graver. The effect looks similar to antique embroidery. Another quality that makes a piece of jewelry appear to be from a past era is the appearance of tarnish. Or it could simply be darkened.  An aged appearance or special attention to detail will set a piece of vintage looking jewelry apart from the rest. Nowadays, jewelry is typically considered vintage if it is beyond 50 years old but you can also find great modern jewelry that is simply inspired by elements of a time past. This is also considered vintage styled jewelry.

If you are someone who loves antique charm and style or you are buying for someone who does, a vintage diamond tennis bracelet may just be the ideal piece of jewelry to own! It is the type of jewelry that can cross generations. You can be a 25 year old pairing an attractive vintage bracelet with your work attire, or a mature woman wearing it out to dinner with friends and family or a special event. Either way, with the incorporation of dazzling diamonds and intricate detailing, the piece will sparkle on your wrist while gathering the attention of others, who will wonder what the story is behind your wonderful statement piece!

Write your story by adding a personal vintage diamond tennis bracelet to your wardrobe. You will enjoy it for years to come. Maybe one day you will have the opportunity to pass it on to a family member that will truly extend the life of the piece. Because receiving a gift of vintage jewelry from a loved one is really a memory making experience.

Top Five Jewelry Gifts for Mom This Holiday

Gifts for Mom

Holiday Shopping Tips

It’s the beginning of November and the holiday shopping season is already in effect. I like to gather my shopping lists and tackle the bulk of my shopping in advance. One of our customers’ called in and asked me for suggestions of what jewelry he should consider getting for his mom this holiday. Being a jewelry enthusiast, I offered him my best advice. Below are my recommendations for the best jewelry gifts to give mom this holiday season:

1. The most timeless piece of jewelry you can get your mom is a set of diamond stud earrings. Choose a classic three or four prong diamond stud, or something more elaborate like a designer diamond stud. She will probably want to wear them over and over again, because they are a simple accessory that adds a lot of sparkle.
2. Birthstone Jewelry is personal and very special. Choose a gemstone bracelet or gemstone pendant in the gemstone of her birth month. I guarantee this is an item she will want to wear year round.
3. Say “I love you” with a beautiful diamond heart pendant. Choose one that matches her preference for metal type. If she wears a pair of 14k yellow gold earrings, get a yellow gold diamond pendant that will coordinate perfectly. It will remind her of you as it stays close to the heart.
4. If your mom has an eye for style, I suggest getting an elegant gold or platinum bangle. You can choose to have a bangle with diamonds or without. Either way, it is a daily accessory that can be easily put on along with a watch.
5. A classic tennis bracelet may be the perfect gift. It is probably not something she would buy for herself but would love to have. Go for a 3-5 carat diamond tennis bracelet for something that she would wear everyday and something larger in total diamond weight for special occasions!

Tips on How to Choose a Diamond Tennis Bracelet

SB868 Flashy Prong Set Bracelet

With so many choices for diamond tennis bracelets, narrowing it down to just one can be a difficult task. Below are five tips on how to choose a diamond tennis bracelet.

1. Decide on a Style of Tennis Bracelet– Classic, Vintage, Red Carpet, Simple, Designer or Gemstone.
2. Choose the metal type you want – Popular metal types for tennis bracelets include yellow gold, white gold and platinum. You can play around with 10k, 14k or 18k gold depending on your preference. 10k is mixed with the most alloys, so is lightest and durable. 18k is the softest as it mixed with the least amount of alloys. It is the heaviest and most expensive of the three metal types
3. Measure your wrist – The standard length for women’s bracelets is 7” and 8” for men’s. However, not everyone has the exact same size wrist, so it is better to measure an existing bracelet. You want to take measurement from end to end, not including the clasp portion.
4. Determine a budget – If you have a limit to how much you can spend, most companies will provide a budgeting tool, so you can sort the bracelets by price.
5. Research the diamond quality options. A tennis bracelet is usually a big purchase and can be an investment piece you will have for many years. Take the time to research the diamond quality to ensure you will have a beautiful bracelet with brilliant looking diamonds!
