Women’s and Men’s Jewelry Gifts

If men think that it’s hard to come up with new present ideas for us, then they should take a look at how hard it is for us to think of new and interesting things to get them! We go to ask, and all they ever say is, “I don’t know,” or “I don’t care.” It is beyond frustrating to hear those phrases. We may not like to tell you exactly what we’re thinking, either, but at least we have the decency to leave little hints and clues around the house!


We put a lot of effort into making all of the magazines at your place magically open to the jewelry ads. There is a lot of planning and coordinating that goes into the production scenes that we act out when we just so “happen” to bump into someone we know outside the jewelry store. So, maybe we should start taking a page out of our own books. Getting our men fashionable and stylish men’s jewelry is probably the best idea we’ve given ourselves in a while.

The same jewelry stores we love to wander into from time to time also carry men’s jewelry. You never really paid them any attention before, however, because you were too busy being blinded by all of the bling you were trying on for yourself. However, if finding a unique and different gift for our man means forgoing a jewelry fashion show for our own pleasure, then we will happily do it! You gentlemen have no idea how lucky you are.

The Cultural Importance of Diamond Right Hand Rings

What is it that diamond right hand rings say about us as a culture? The emerging prevalence of these types of rings in the past few decades begins highlighting a particularly interesting trend among female jewelry customers - a renewed attitude towards self-empowerment, feminist agency, and style, all attained without sacrificing or demonizing the love of the stereotypically feminine. Wearing this kind of ring on your right hand is a symbol and a reminder, for others and yourself, of your own inner power, strength, and desire to subvert harmful and toxic cultural narratives.

These rings have begun to surface as a newer sort of style, in stark contrast to the typical left handed engagement ring. Commitment and ownership, often symbolized through the patriarchal system of marriage that has been systematically used to own and control females since its institutional inception, is subverted by the right hand ring. In switching the role of a diamond ring - the right hand rings differ from engagement rings in that they are usually made up of small clusters instead of single centerpieces - we see this form of jewelry as a subtle subversion of cultural norms.

Sometimes the diamonds are laid out evenly and clustered together, and sometimes they are more sporadically laid out, evenly spaced across the band.  These jewelry pieces are all about independence. In keeping with the ideology symbolized by the right hand ring, there are no particular standardized formal rules for design type. Like the modern woman, these rings represent the opportunity for self-definition, growth, and change.

Destiny: Charm Bracelets Inevitably Bring People Together

Charm bracelets have always captivated the attention of women everywhere. They can be worn for every occasion and are the most perfect conversation starter. When you have a plethora of shiny charms dangling from your wrist, people just can't help but notice and ask questions as to how you obtained them. One story may be of when you graduated from law school and your mother gave you a charm of the scales of justice. The conversation then develops into your current practice as a divorce lawyer. This will come in handy - the lady who asked about your bracelet has been thinking of leaving her husband for quite some time and just needed a sign from the higher powers. So, when her husband had to work late one night, she decided to take her daughter up on the last minute invitation to the party you are now attending. Fate brought the two people together who are in need of one another's services.

Just like that, your beautiful charm bracelet has helped a woman out of a loveless marriage and has also given you a brand new case to start Monday morning. The jewelry we wear is a direct reflection of our personalities and lot in life. It tells the world more about you than you will ever know. You may as well be the life of the party due to your preference in jewelry, rather than your drunken shenanigans. At least this way, they will remember your dazzling style instead of your crass behavior.

Family Jewelry Should be Properly Stored and Cherished

Many women all over the world have a collection of jewelry that includes some very cherished and important pieces that have been passed down through many generations. These priceless works of art should be stored properly and given the love and affection they so desperately deserve. There is nothing worse than having a piece of family jewelry get ruined through many years of neglect. This would be such a misfortune – not only for you, but also for the many generations who will miss out on the happiness this jewelry could have offered. It is wise to properly store and clean your precious jewelry so it does not get damaged, allowing it to remain shiny and radiant for as long as it possibly can.

The first step is to purchase a jewelry box, if you do not already have one. This will provide the shelter your heirloom deserves. You must also wrap your pieces of jewelry in a soft cloth before placing them in your jewelry box. This will prevent the sacred heirlooms from bumping up against other pieces of jewelry that will surely cause scratching and other such damage. You should also clean your jewelry a few times a year. A professional jeweler will be most suitable for this job and will do so for an affordable price. You should not trust your jewelry with just anyone. Make sure you take your time in choosing your jeweler. Finding a reliable and professional jeweler will allow you to rest assured - your jewelry is in good hands.
