<p>Hot Diamonds Matisse Diamond Silver Ring</p></div>
<p>Your 5th year of marriage can be as much of a strain as it is a joy … somewhat like every other year of marriage, I guess! Most couples that have been married five years are in the thick of having children, and all of the stress, hormones and money hassles that come along with that can combine to make the both of you quite unlike the beautiful people that committed their lives to each other, 5 years ago! It is even more important to celebrate your anniversary at this time … remind each other of why you married in the first place, and all of the beautiful things that you know exist within each other. Those things may be deep within layers of work grime, nappy rash cream, baggy eyes, newly floppy skin and harrowing memories of babies arriving in hospital rooms <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  … but they are still there! We help you celebrate them with some hand picked gifts for fifth year anniversaries.</p>

<p>The traditional gift for 5th year anniversaries is listed as silverware … and presumably by this, they mean cutlery. Knives, forks, spoons, etc. Although why anyone would think you could survive five years of marriage without sufficient cutlery is a mystery for the ages! Fortunately silver ware has a close cousin within the jewelry ranks … silver wear! You can check out the entire collection of our silver jewelry, for both men and women, at the <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=240">silver jewelry pages</a>. Either browse by the type of jewelry that you want to give as a gift (pendants, necklaces, bracelets etc), or just chuck it all in together and use the product search box at the top to refine your results and switch between products easily. You&#8217;ll find some beautiful silver jewelry for both men and women, including the men&#8217;s Hot Diamonds Matisse Ring at the beginning of the article. It has a gorgeous high gloss band set with three brilliant cut white diamonds, like the rest of the Hot Diamonds range of silver jewelry. The band is a decently sized 10.8mm wide, but has nicely rounded edges to make it infinitely comfortable.</p>
<p>Hot Diamonds is actually one of our main suppliers of silver jewelry, and they have a collection full of pieces that are simple, modern and sparkling with tiny diamonds. Just like the little gems that you hopefully still find within your marriage! They have quite a range of men&#8217;s jewelry, as well as women&#8217;s, and the extra heavy range are some of the highlights of the men&#8217;s collection. You can see the extra heavy necklace at right, with its chunky, masculine feel and modern attachment method &#8211; the catch looks quite a lot like a body piercing bar &#8211; great for younger guys. That bar has two genuine white diamonds in either end, for a bit of sparkle.</p>
<p>There is a matching ID bracelet available within the Hot Diamonds range, shown at right. The bracelet is 22cm long, and the brand&#8217;s signature tiny diamond sits right next to your engraved message (or his name), adding a bit of sparkle to whatever you want to say there! Just bear in mind that if it is &#8216;For My Snookypookums&#8217;, he is less likely to wear it out to the pub <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> . And can you blame him?</p>
<p>There are plenty of options for women&#8217;s 5th year anniversary gifts also … don&#8217;t worry about that! Of course, Hot Diamonds is well represented in this area, and one of the more unusual pieces from their range (which is delightfully full of love heart and other such marriagey stuff!), is the melting love heart pendant shown at right. Surely her heart melted when she first laid eyes on you … or at least, when you got married! Tell her that yours melted back, and this is the proof … you&#8217;ll have a blissful marriage for at least the next two days <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  . The silver pendant measures 2cm from top to bottom, quite dainty for a more detailed piece. It has three genuine white diamonds in the center &#8211; do you have three children yet? This could be an extra-meaningful gift. The sterling silver chain is part of the pendant&#8217;s price, and because shipping is free on this product also, what you see on the tag is what you get! Very satisfying.</p>
<p>Are you planning to be with your wife forever? You certainly said so at some point <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  … and why not remind her of the security and safety that brings for her, with the infinity scroll cubic zirconia necklace by Pandora at right. Pandora is our other main supplier of sterling silver products, in all their shining glory, and this is a great example of the range&#8217;s sweet motifs and classical feel. The necklace is oxidized sterling silver, and the cubic zirconias at the front are white … quite a lot like diamonds, which are forever also! The necklace chain is a comfortable 45cm, which is still short enough to sit above most necklines, for the show-off factor which she&#8217;ll want to exploit! There are several pieces of matching jewelry, so if she loves this one to death, keep the ring, the earrings, and the bracelet charm in mind for her birthday and Christmas.</p>
<p>Pandora also recently began making silver earrings to go with their bracelet and necklace charms, and the range has been immensely popular. A great way to decide which pair of silver Pandora earrings to get is to look at your wife&#8217;s face. And no, you don&#8217;t need to ask here what earrings she would prefer right before you do so! You can figure this one out all by yourself and preserve the surprise <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> . Earrings are a great highlight to eyes, and getting a pair with stones that match her eye color will help them go better with just about anything she wears … and she&#8217;ll get much more happiness out of them.</p>
<p>The topaz earrings at right are great for blue-eyed babes &#8211; the stones are not the pinpricks that can be found in other pieces (although that definitely has a stylistic purpose also), and the silver chain base is a free-swinging 3.7cm long. They have hook style fittings, for a lovely feeling of release from the tight bounds of posts and butterflies!</p>
<p>Green-eyed girls find a wonderful accent to their features with these green pearl and lime cubic zirconia earrings. The double-green makes for a strong statement, and the sweet snail shell design is very individual &#8211; it is not even repeated in many pieces within the Pandora range. There is a matching bead for these earrings, also featuring the individuality of green pearls on silver! They are extremely well priced, and have free shipping, like the rest of Pandora products.</p>
<p>Hazel eyed honeys will look beautiful with the champagne pearls and sparkling cubic zirconias of the earrings at right. Champagne colored pearls are a luxury that is only found within the Pandora range (the closest that others come is cream-apricot), and there is also some very stylish and individual matching jewelry for this piece. Once you have clicked on the product, you can scroll down to see it in the &#8216;We Also Recommend&#8217; section.</p>
<p>And brown eyed beauties make up over two thirds of the world&#8217;s population &#8211; bring out their exotically gorgeous eyes with the smokey quartz and pearl earrings at right, on a silver bubble base if you are looking at fifth anniversary gifts. The silver version has lovely dainty genuine white diamonds in a 14ct gold base, while the rest of the piece is silver… but if you’re willing to let tradition go a bit more, the gold version is definitely recommended to help warm her features, and make a truly special gift.</p>
<p>In fact, it can be kind of hard to find a piece of silver jewelry that is not part of the very style-specific collections of Pandora or Hot Diamonds! We have managed to track a few down though, including the beautiful circles necklace at right. Most of the earring base is in silver, with a rose gold contrast circle, as well as a gorgeous diamond encrusted bottom circle. They include 36 diamonds altogether, with a combined weight of .29ct. They are also very well priced, given all of those gorgeous diamonds, and the fact that the rose gold circles are of the highest quality, 18ct gold.</p>
<p>Okay &#8211; so with the next product, you are cheating a little, if it is a fifth anniversary present … but when she sees it, she will hardly care! The gorgeous Citizen watch at right is part of the new Alexa collection, and while the band is actually silver tone stainless steel, rather than true silver, when she sees all of the gorgeous diamonds set around the outside she won&#8217;t mind <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> . There are 28 of them, and each one is handset. The mother of pearl dial helps accent their sparkle, and as far as functionality goes, Citizen&#8217;s patented Eco-Drive technology is included. This means that batteries never have to be changed, while the date function means she can&#8217;t forget your next anniversary.</p>
<p>And a lucky last gift suggestion &#8211; Tatty Teddy has been a friend to Valentine&#8217;s card and anniversary card-buying men all over the world for some years now, and he is now a friend to anniversary gift buyers also! The Tatty Teddy heart bracelet shown is made of fifth-anniversary silver, and has a sweet, passionate synthetic ruby set in the center of the heart. It is easily long enough for adults, and can also be made to fit children by wrapping the fastener around. Although then it wouldn&#8217;t be a wedding anniversary gift … <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  Tatty Teddy also has great prices!</p>
<p>You should have plenty of ideas buzzing around in your head for fifth anniversary gifts by now, and if you’d like to keep browsing for them, check out the handy collection of <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=18_214_499">fifth anniversary gift ideas</a> on site. Good luck, and a happy marriage to you!</p>

<p>Endless Full Circle Ruby Ring</p></div>
<p>Phew! 40 years! For starters, I think you should congratulate yourself on getting so far with your marriage &#8211; they really are not easy &#8230; but they certainly are worth it. The traditional <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=18_214_495">gift for 40th wedding anniversaries</a> is the ruby &#8211; you can tell your marriage is starting to become valuable when it is measured in rubies <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> . We have a look at some of the most romantic and thoughtful ruby gifts, as well as some perfect alternatives for those on a budget, that still capture the spirit of the rosy colored gem.<br />

<p>Pandora Red Pearl Flower Earrings</p></div>
<p>The full circle ring at the beginning of the article is an eternity design, especially suitable for a wedding anniversary &#8230; in fact, it was most likely designed especially for the occasion you are just about to celebrate! It contains 35 natural rubies, with a combined gemstone weight of 2.10 carats, set in 18ct white gold. The band is a slender but comfortable 3.2mm. You&#8217;ll need to be aware that some ring sizes may need to be manufactured, and if your wife has larger than average fingers the pricing may be affected. You can check out the ring in 360 degree G-View on the site &#8211; a great before purchase feature!</p>
<p>If you are looking for something a little more affordable but no less genuine, the ruby earrings at right feature natural gemstones, oval cut to 4mm x 3.5mm. The stones have a combined gemstone weight of .7ct, and they are set in 18ct white gold for luxury and durability. They are made for pierced ears, and the close fitting design of them means that she need never take them out if she doesn&#8217;t want to! They are comfortable enough to wear to bed, and durable enough to withstand a little soap in the shower. They also feature free shipping.</p>
<p>A great way to maintain tradition, without breaking the bank, is to go for synthetic rubies rather than natural ones. No less beautiful, and with only slight coloration differences, the synthetic rubies like the ones in these gorgeous drop earrings still have a sweet heartfelt glow about them. The colored stones on top are crystals, with everything set on sterling silver. These are made for evening wear &#8230; so why not give her an excuse to wear them as the other half of the gift?!</p>
<p>Pandora does a great job of classical style jewelry that has a joy, and also a momentous feeling about it. That is pretty much what your actual anniversary day will feel like, also! The ruby bloom huggie bubble earrings at right are a great example of Pandora&#8217;s style. The small natural rubies are set in 18ct gold, and while the earring have a huggie style attachment, they do hang a bit lower (and therefore are easier to show off <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  ). The earrings are part of a set with a matching slimline, bubble design bloom ring, and a ruby bloom dangle charm for Pandora style bracelets.</p>
<p>However, anniversaries are about love, not about money. Why not capture the classicism of rubies in a much more budget friendly form? Garnets are almost the exact same color as the most expensive sort of rubies &#8230; so the both of you can always pretend, if you want <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> . The Pandora garnet flower and rose quartz earrings at right are very popular with our anniversary and romantic gift customers &#8211; they are designed for pierced ears, but dainty enough to be suitable for everyday wear. There is a matching necklace in exactly the same style, and with just as reasonable a price tag.</p>
<p>Garnets are such a beautiful, deep red color &#8211; and the larger the stone, the more striking the effect. The 8mm heart garnet pendant at right really catches the eye &#8211; it features an 8mm, or 1.97ct gemstone, prong set for maximum impact. The base metal is 9ct white gold, which is suitable for all skin types &#8211; our white gold does not contain any of the nickel alloys that sometimes cause skin reactions.</p>
<p>And if you, or your wife, are creatively inclined, you&#8217;ll certainly enjoy this little deviation from rubies as a 40th anniversary gift! The Pandora red pearl earrings at right have the same color as rubies, but with a completely different shimmer and look. The 10mm long red pearls are set on 14ct yellow gold, with a flower design that blooms like your marriage has, into a fully blossomed beauty.</p>
<p>There are plenty of ways to celebrate your 40th anniversary with jewelry, ranging from the traditional, to the individual, and the luxury to the budget friendly. Check out the rest of our <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=18_214_495">40th wedding anniversary suggestions here</a>, or <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=21_208">the rest of our ruby jewelry</a> pieces.

<p>Special Blue-Green Sapphire Ring</p></div>
<p>With so many marriages coming to an end in these last decades, if the thought of being without your wife or husband makes your stomach turn a little (like it does mine!), the time is now to treasure your relationship <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> . Anniversaries are a special time, when the entire planet is positioned just as it was when you made a lifelong commitment to each other (I&#8217;ll give you ladies a moment to wipe away those sneaky tears!). Whether you&#8217;ve been married for what seems like two lifetimes, or just a heartbeat, we&#8217;ve got some awesome thematic gifts for <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=18_214">October anniversaries</a> to help your togetherness.<br />

<p>Diamond Flower Ring</p></div>
<p>October was once the eighth month of the year (hence the prefix &#8216;octo&#8217;, which usually pertains to eight, even though it is now the tenth month). This aspect of your anniversary month is quite easy to translate into jewelry gifts &#8211; look for pieces that utilize the balance and luxury of eight-stone designs, like the special blue-green sapphire ring at the beginning of the article. It is certainly a gift for special anniversaries (or special women!), with its price tag &#8230; but she will wear it to death, and it is incredibly easy to coordinate with every outfit. The sapphire has a unique blue-green color, incredibly deep, that contrasts beautifully with the clarity of the eight white diamonds that surround it. The combination of princess cut diamonds and the round-cut sapphire is unique and stunning &#8211; just like the lady receiving it!</p>
<p>The drop style amethyst earrings at right are a more affordable way to incorporate October&#8217;s &#8216;eight&#8217; theme into you anniversary gift choice. Made for gentle, graceful women, these drop style earrings make a face come alive without overshadowing her features. Each amethyst is a sweet, but not invisible (!) 3mm across, and they are set in nice, affordable 9ct white gold. The yare made for pierced ears, and designed for evening wear.</p>
<p>October was also traditionally the month of the rosary in the Roman Catholic tradition, and if your wife is a church-goer, she&#8217;ll love the spiritual twist to the jewelry at right. Both the Hot Diamonds &#8216;Blessed&#8217; pendant, and the citrine pendant on white gold make use of the rosary motif for October, and the Hot Diamonds piece has the added benefit of being quite a unisex design &#8211; great for both him and her &#8211; or you and them! Both are easily affordable &#8211; you won’t get kissed for buying a beautiful present, then immediately kicked for spending so much money! The Hot Diamonds one has a single brilliant cut diamond set in one side of the cross, which is a sterling silver base. The citrine cross features a delicate yellow citrine set on beautiful quality 18ct white gold, at a dainty 1.5cm size. Either is suitable for both everyday and special occasion wear.</p>
<p>Opal is the birthstone for October &#8211; and since your marriage was born this month, it is also the signature stone for your wedding! If you’re looking for a gift for your husband, the opal inlay silver ring is one of the most affordable, yet stylish and masculine ways to incorporate the October birthstone in the men&#8217;s jewelry range. The band is a nice, slimline 5mm size, so will even fit comfortably alongside his wedding or engagement ring without crowding his finger. The base metal is sterling silver, for budget friendliness, and the fact that the opals are only inlay helps keep the cost down. Just like each marriage, each one of these rings is a true individual, with tis own opal colors &#8211; it will be primarily blue, but will definitely have some natural variation.</p>
<p>For wives, the opal drop earrings at right are a graceful, versatile way to include the birthstone for your marriage. The sterling silver base hold two 12.5mm x 6mm opal boulder doublets &#8211; an impressive size for such a great price! They have hook style fittings, so are not suitable to keep in day and night, but are very easy to take in and out. They are a dainty, but still conspicuous, 2.6cm in length overall. The earrings ship for free to you, no matter where you are in the world, and of course gift wrapping is taken care of <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p>The signature flower for October is the calendula &#8211; which you probably recognize as a variant of the daisy, with long thin yellow or white petals, arranged in a neat halo around the pollen base. The design is actually rarely found in jewelry &#8211; but the gorgeous diamond ring at right approximates it well! The calendula petals are actually formed by baguette cut diamonds, with the pollen as a brilliant cut diamond in the center. It has an ultra-slim 1.5mm band, so is comfortable to wear along with her wedding ring or engagement ring &#8211; or as a right hand ring, of course! The ring has a diamond weight of .11ct combined, and they are set on the highest quality 18ct white gold, with no added nickel.</p>
<p>Jewelry is such a lovely personal gift for anniversaries &#8230; so much longer lasting than flowers, and without the unwanted after effects of chocolate! We have a special section for <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=18_214">anniversary gifts</a>, so in addition to these themed pieces, you can check out gifts that match your &#8216;number&#8217; anniversary also. If you need any help finding products, you can ask the friendly staff manning the Live Help desk &#8211; just click the icon on the right of screen in the shop section of the site.</p>

<p>Stunning Seven Opal Necklace</p></div>
<p>Ordinarily I open these posts with some sort of wry or cheeky comment that somehow refers to how much your loved ones can annoy you, even though you adore them. I&#8217;m not doing that today &#8230; I&#8217;m going down the completely mushy route! You have the entire year to whine about how your spouse makes life difficult for you, but your wedding anniversary is the one time of year when you need to simply revel in the fact of having someone for company to teach you things, to check you when you’re wrong (it happens to everybody!!), and to love and support you. If your anniversary is coming up this September, we&#8217;ve gathered up our best ideas for thematic wedding anniversary gifts for you. Check them out!<br />

<p>Contrary to my initial instincts, September is not named in honor of the bone that holds up our nose, the nasal septum! It was originally the seventh month of the Roman calendar, before some reforms to the earlier part of the year in 153BC. Seven-unit or motif jewelry pieces are actually quite rare &#8211; but when they do appear, they certainly are beautiful! The seven-opal necklace at the beginning of the article is a great example, featuring natural shaped Australian boulder opal doublets set in 18ct white gold, and accompanied by a host of brilliant cut white diamonds. It is certainly a luxury wedding anniversary gift &#8230; but you know your wife is worth it! Just make sure she won&#8217;t be angry when she sees the credit card statement, and negate the whole effect of such a gorgeous gift!</p>
<p>The sapphire huggie earrings at right are doubly suitable for September wedding anniversary gifts &#8211; they have seven stones in each earring, and sapphire is the birthstone for the month of September. Neither you or your wife may be born in September &#8230; but your marriage certainly was! The sapphires are set on 18ct yellow gold, and the stones altogether weigh just under a carat. The earrings themselves measure 1.5cm from top to bottom, and are extremely comfortable. They don’t even need to be taken out for showers and bed, if she prefers not to!</p>
<p>It is one of those frustrating and crazy facts of life that at the beginning of your life together and relationship, when you have the least money between you, you are expected to buy the most things! Engagement rings are often one of the casualties of this crazy fact &#8211; if this is the case for you, why not make it up now? She&#8217;ll certainly treasure it just as she would have if you starved yourself for a month to buy it <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> . This gorgeous diamond ring features seven brilliant cut white diamonds, with a total weight of .96ct, set on an 18ct white gold band.</p>
<p>The black pearl earrings at right are definitely lower on the luxury end of the scale &#8230; but also much less likely to get you scolded for spending so much on &#8216;little old her&#8217; (even though you know she loves it <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  ). The black pearls in these earrings are a dainty and appropriate 7mm across, and are set in easily affordable sterling silver. They measure 48mm long, but because of their slenderness, are suitable for work, evening and everyday wear.</p>
<p>September is the month of the autumnal equinox in the northern hemisphere, and the vernal equinox in the southern. Inori is one of the few brands that celebrates this always-beautiful time of year. The maple leaf pendant, and also the bracelet at right, are both quite unisex pieces. The maple leaf motifs are made of enamel, and the base metal is tough, durable stainless steel. The pendant includes several icy cubic zirconias, and is 2.3cm long. The bracelet also includes several cubic zirconias, and while it is designed as a one size fits all and with unisex styling, just make sure that your husband&#8217;s hand will fit inside a 5.5cm diameter if you are buying it as a male gift.</p>
<p>Spring is a time of fresh greenness, new growth and vibrancy, so if you were married in the Southern hemisphere spring, peridots are a great way to celebrate your marriage. The peridot heart pendant at right looks dainty and luxurious, but is actually extremely affordable. The peridot is a .59ct, 5mm heart cut stone, and the 9ct yellow gold filigree heart is around 2cm long. It is a stand-alone item, so she&#8217;ll need to pop it on one of her own chains, but does ship for free across Australia.</p>
<p>Appropriately, for wedding anniversaries, one of the flowers for September is the forget-me-not! The childlike, five-petalled shape of these blooms can be found in quite a few pieces of jewelry, including the flower bracelet at right by Hot Diamonds. The cool, elegant look of diamonds on silver is a perfect fit for some women &#8211; you&#8217;ll know if this is your wife! The forget-me-not flowers have a genuine white diamond in the center of each of them, and the bracelet itself ships for free across the world.</p>
<p>Pandora bracelets also incorporate the cute, endearing lines of forget-me-nots &#8211; this Flower Power bead is a great example. It is from the affordable silver collection, and makes a great base for other luxury beads. If your wife doesn’t have a Pandora bracelet yet, grab one of the sterling silver ones for coordination, and enjoy the ready-made birthday and Christmas gifts that you&#8217;ll have for a few years!</p>
<p>There are actually quite a few beautiful thematic gifts you can give your wife or husband for your anniversary this September! If you&#8217;d like help finding any more seven-stone, <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=21_205">peridot</a> or autumnal jewelry, just ring the bell through the Live Help link at the right of screen in the shop.</p>

<p>Pandora Twin Hearts Ring</p></div>
<p>It&#8217;s that time of year again &#8230; if you’re a northern hemisphere dweller, the sun is shining just a little less, the flowers are beginning to retract and there are glorious bright colors everywhere to be found. If you live in the Southern hemisphere, you are just beginning to see winter&#8217;s sleep break, with little green bits poking out everywhere, a fresh breeze and slightly more humane daytime temperatures. Oh yeah, and it&#8217;s your wedding anniversary!</p>
<p>For starters, goon on you for remembering in time! Even I often forget until I have to write down the date &#8230; and I&#8217;m female <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  . If you’re stumped as to how to make this August anniversary special, though, we have <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=18_214">some unique ideas for you</a>.</p>

<p>You are two twin hearts, the both of you .. and even if only the female half will really suit this ring, it does bring all that gorgeous anniversary sappiness to every other day of the year! The ring itself is part of the Pandora jewelry collection, and features a 14ct tiny gold heart set against an oxidized silver background, on a polished silver ring. It is a sweet, child-like piece, and a great way to remind her of simpler times &#8230; and that love is all you need. It is especially suitable because August is actually Twins month in Twinsburg, Ohio, also <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p>The birthstone for August is the peridot, and as such, it is the birthstone for your marriage itself! Peridots are a gorgeous fresh green color, especially suitable for the imperceptible beginnings of spring in the southern hemisphere, and just generally sweet and colorful otherwise! Pandora&#8217;s gorgeous style strikes again for this anniversary gift, in the form of a peridot-adorned flower ring, also featuring a sparkling white diamond &#8211; they’re forever, you know! The ring itself is made out of affordable sterling silver, while the peridot and the diamond find a lovely warm background in 14ct yellow gold. You will have to ruin the surprise for this one, as you&#8217;ll need to know her finger size accurately. And it may not be the same as when you married! However, the fact that you&#8217;re organizing her gift so far in advance should make up for that <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> . Check out some of the matching jewelry also, while you’re there (pictured below the ring).</p>
<p>However, if your wife is like many, there simply aren’t enough hours in the day to wear all the evening wear and &#8217;special&#8217; jewelry she has &#8230; there are plenty more excuses to just feel special everyday. The 4mm peridot earrings at right are perfect for that, bringing a touch of freshness to work and home life for her. The 4mm peridots are set in affordable 9ct white gold, so this is one gift that you won’t have to hide the receipt for. It costs less than a nice restaurant meal, but can be kept forever!</p>
<p>Although you might not have realized it when you picked your wedding month, the theme of August is marital happiness. Awwwww! That&#8217;s cute. Why not revel in the sugary sweetenss of it (or at least let your wife do some sugary reveling <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  ), with a gift like the Love Connection Pandora Inspirations bracelet at right. The bracelet is a lovely themed start to a Pandora bracelet, with two sterling silver hearts, two pastel pink Murano glass ribbon design charms, and a &#8216;Heart You&#8217; charm as the centerpiece. As far as the Pandora ready made Inspirations range goes, this is quite affordable also!</p>
<p>August is also National Women&#8217;s month in some parts of the world. But don’t feel left out &#8211; give her the gift of femininity (sometimes it can feel a bit lost amid the daily life of being married!), with a piece like the Pink Sparkle Pandora bracelet at right. It has a gorgeous and very affordable collection of pink and white cubic zirconia charms for her to indulge in, set on a sterling silver bracelet base. You can choose the bracelet length, and also do a bit of interchanging and trading with the charms, if you prefer.</p>
<p>And for the wives out there looking for the perfect anniversary gift for your husbands this year, August is the month that Hawaii officially became a state of the USA. That may not mean much to you &#8230; except it is a great excuse to have him indulge in some of the sexy surf and wave-themed jewelry on site. The 9ct white gold ring at right is just one of quite a few wave-design rings we have on site. Many of them are made to be suitable as wedding rings, so the matching width and depth will mean this ring can sit happily alongside his wedding ring without looking like a disaster! This ring is a 9ct white gold one with a 5mm soft rounded band. You also have the option to engrave a message inside the band. A lovely way to express your sentiments in a forever sort of way!</p>
<p>The Wenger SLSA surf watch at right is another awesome ocean-themed gift for your anniversary this August. He may even appreciate this more than the ring (&#8220;I&#8217;ve already got one of them! What do I need another one for?!&#8221; &#8230; is what my husband would say <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  ). There are several of these designs, some with red and some with yellow bands, and all with the red and yellow accents around the circumference of the dial. It is a super tough watch, with 200m water resistance, luminous marker and hands, Swiss quartz movement, a screw-down crown, mineral crystal glass, and best of all a 3-year manufacturer warranty. This watch also ships for free across the entire world.</p>
<p>If you haven’t seen something just exactly perfect for your anniversary this year, don’t worry &#8211; now that you’re in the mood, just keep browsing in <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=18_214">the anniversary gifts sectio</a>n.

<p>Pandora Moonstone and Topaz Ring</p></div>
<p>In the northern hemisphere, June is the month of the summer solstice &#8211; the longest day of the year with the most sunshine, and often one of the warmest days of the year. Pandora is one range that knows how to celebrate life in the sun &#8211; if your wife doesn&#8217;t already have a Pandora bracelet, necklace or anklet, the sunny bright charm at the beginning of the article is a great way to start one! It is made of sterling silver and features yellow cubic zirconia, so is quite budget friendly. With both this charm and the one immediately below it at the right, there is no chance of wrecking all the goodwill of an anniversary gift when she finds out how much you spent on it! The charm second from the top can also be found in the Gemstone beads section of the Pandora pages, and has the same attractive price tag as the first one.</p>
<p>While those in the northern hemisphere are enjoying pina coladas and hazy days at the beach, those under that magical halfway line are snuggling up in bed, afraid to get out lest we lose a toe to frostbite on the way to the kitchen! Fires are our best friend &#8211; but you can also celebrate the wintry romance of the season with a jewelry piece like the Inori snowflake mirror pendant at right. This is a fabulous gift for either your husband or your wife, in quite a unisex style. It is made of durable, hard wearing stainless steel, and the snowflake design is created with a part polished, part satin finish. It is a dainty and inconspicuous 2.3cm in length, and if you have a favorite chain it will slip straight on &#8211; it is a stand alone item.</p>
<p>The Pure Collection by Hot Diamonds also offers you the opportunity to revel in the magic and sparkling scenes that snow creates, just as it probably did for your winter wedding! It consists of a long drop section, part chain and part droplet studded with several tiny genuine white brilliant cut diamonds. It has a heavy and luxuriant silver weight, and is an elegant 50cm in length.</p>
<p>In many countries in the northern hemisphere, June is also the month that Father&#8217;s Day occurs in. If you are looking for an anniversary gift for your husband, grab one of the essential tools of fatherhood &#8211; a watch! The Citizen one shown includes the company&#8217;s famous Eco-Drive technology, which means that he never has to remember to change a battery again. It is made of durable stainless steel, and comes with Citizen&#8217;s extremely generous 5 year Eco-Drive warranty &#8211; they put a lot of faith in their products. There is a huge number of sizes available, for comfort.</p>
<p>June is also the month of the rose &#8211; in many parts of the world, belted over both the northern and southern hemispheres, roses are in full bloom. Bring the sweet scent and romance into a more permanent form in your anniversary gift, with these rose quartz gemstone drop earrings. They are a sweeping and stylish 7cm long, perfect for evening wear, and the rose quartz pieces are 10mm long. They are accented with pink pearls halfway down the chains, and set on a sterling silver base.</p>
<p>If a watch is one of the essential tools of fatherhood (what time is soccer practice? How long until school finishes? When can I knock off work and see my precious children?), it is no less so for mothers, so this rose-colored timepiece by Fossil is doubly suitable as a June anniversary present. It is a stylish oversized design with eclectically placed numbers and a white croco-embossed strap. It is 50m water resistant, so there won&#8217;t be a problem if she accidentally forgets to take it off before putting the children in the bath, but might not survive a swim. The watch also has a two year manufacturer&#8217;s warranty.</p>
<p>June is one of only two months of the year that do not start on the same day of the week as any other month. No small feat, considering there are twelve months and only seven days! You could say June is quite unique &#8230; and not only because it is your marriage month. Why not get a unique sort of jewelry present to celebrate it, rather than something just like what everyone else has? The amber necklace at right is a great example, with its striking color graduation, cool feel and princess-style length.</p>
<p>However, if amber is not your wife&#8217;s style, there are plenty of other pieces on site that less than 0.0001% of the world&#8217;s population is likely to also have! The unique silver and ion coated stainless steel necklace is a great example &#8211; it is a deliciously heavy weight, at 75g, so she&#8217;ll always be aware of wearing it. There is simply no other product on site that has such a unique sort of metal for jewelry, either! It sits close to choker height, at 40cm long.</p>
<p>And despite the plethora of black and stainless steel simple pieces for men, if you search well enough you&#8217;ll be able to find unique June anniversary gifts for your husband also. The 18ct gold and silver diamond ring at right is a great example. It would actually be a good buy as a left hand ring, as it is in a similar style to many engagement rings and won’t look out of place with your own rings. The band is a comfortable 5mm wide, and features a baguette cut white diamond of .1ct. You can also engrave an anniversary message inside the band for him &#8230; awww!</p>
<p>While the traditional stone for people born in June is the pearl, the stone that is associated with the month itself is the moonstone. If you are looking for a sweet, simple, and not budget-bending gift for this year&#8217;s June anniversary, the Pandora blue topaz and moonstone hearts and flowers ring is romantic and simple. The topaz and moonstones are set on partially oxidized sterling silver, and if she can&#8217;t get enough of it, you can come back for Christmas and her birthday as well &#8211; there is a whole host of matching jewelry in the Pandora range.</p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t seen the perfect gift in this article, don’t despair! Stop crying, it&#8217;s alright! Just keep looking through our specially selected <a title="Anniversary gift ideas" href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=18_214">anniversary gift ideas</a> section, and if you run into any trouble, we are only as far away as the other side of the Live Help link at the right of screen.</p>

<p>Georgini Pink Cubic Zirconia Heart Earrings</p></div>
<p>Platinum is a metal used most often in rings, for its excellent wear resistance, and the fact that rings are the items of jewelry that stay with us for most of our lives… just like your wedding rings and engagement rings have managed to do! The men&#8217;s platinum ring at the beginning of the article is a combination of platinum and white gold in zebra stripes. Each individual section is cut by laser, and then joined together to form one solid ring. The light satin finish helps bring out the contrast between the tow metals &#8211; this is the ring&#8217;s main feature, after all! It has a comfort curve &#8211; in fact, it is so comfy he may even want to change it for his wedding ring! The 9mm wide band fits well on nearly all male hands, and while it is often bought as an engagement or wedding ring, we think a twentieth anniversary is equally special and deserving of a great gift like this!</p>
<p>There are also some beautiful ladies options the feature the twentieth anniversary modern gift, platinum. The princess and baguette cut diamond at right is one of them, and its beautiful richness and style sneak up on you! There are three princess cut diamonds and eight baguette cut diamonds in the ring, the princess cut ones with a combined weight of .17ct, and the baguette diamonds weighing .37ct &#8211; but that will be nothing compared to the wonderful reassuring heaviness of the ring! The platinum, heavier than gold, takes a day or two to get used to &#8211; but those that have true platinum rings say the feeling of security and sturdiness they provide is unmatched.</p>
<p>However, platinum is quite an expensive metal, and doesn&#8217;t provide much variety in jewelry other than in the wedding ring section! However, you can bring the spirit of platinum to your twentieth anniversary gift through most of the products in the Hot Diamonds and Georgini ranges, which are rhodium plated (a metal in the platinum family). Hot Diamonds has simple, unisex and very postmodern designs, while Georgini has definite star quality &#8211; for ladies! The Enigma pendant pictured at right is rhodium plated, a metal in the platinum family which is often found alongside platinum … and in pure form, is actually more expensive than it! It prevents tarnishing and increases shine, while still allowing the character of the silver through. The Enigma pendant will actually be a bit of an in-joke between you … if he is still an enigma to you after twenty years, you may as well laugh about it! If his every thought is as plain as day for you, it will be your little irony <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> . The ball style chain, measuring 50cmis also included with the pendant.</p>
<p>But for something a little more colorful and individual, choose the colored square cufflinks from Hot Diamonds pictured at right &#8211; also rhodium plated. They feature two brilliant cut genuine white diamonds in opposing ends of the cufflinks, and enamel squares in maroon, grey, blue and black. They make a neat but subtle statement of individuality at the office! At 1.9cm, they are a lovely middling fit for all suits.</p>
<p>There are also plenty of stunning options within the Hot Diamonds range for women, including this sterling silver, rhodium plated Ebb and Flow necklace from the Pure collection of the Hot Diamonds range &#8211; a special limited edition selection of products of extra luxury and gorgeous design. Every link of the necklace is a little different &#8211; just like every year you have been together. In fact, there have probably been many areas of your common lives that have ebbed and flowed, and what a stylish way to celebrate coming through them! It is 50cm long, and weighs a luxuriant 51gms &#8211; probably due to all of that heavy platinum plating! There are six genuine white diamonds scattered throughout its gorgeous twists and curves.</p>
<p>The Swept Away necklace at right is a little simpler, a lot more budget friendly, and just as romantic! You have surely been swept away by each other at various times, and this sterling silver, rhodium plated, three-diamond pendant is a great way to celebrate that. The chain is included, so there is no hidden cost (not even shipping, as this product ships free!), and it is a sweetly slender silver number, 45cm long. The dainty 2.5cm pendant section is perfect for either day wear or evening wear … even bed-wear!</p>
<p>Georgini is our other main collection that utilizes rhodium, and there are some gorgeous party pieces available here. The crystal drop pendant is a lovely versatile gift for twentieth anniversaries, and also a lovely price! It features a 15mm crystal briolette, set below a cubic zirconia in white. So much sparkle! The chain is actually included with this pendant, so again there are no hidden costs, not even shipping! The chain is a lovely middling, comfortable 45cm long, and it is a deliciously smooth coiled style sterling silver piece. The chain has been rhodium plated as well as the pendant.</p>
<p>And as a neat, sweet and tiny gift that is a beautiful addition to a larger gift, the Georgini heart earrings at right are the perfect choice. They cost little more than loose change, yet have a beautiful dual heart design in the sterling silver. Pink cubic zirconias are a feature gem, looking remarkably similar to pink sapphires! The stones are a well-sized three mm across, and of course, all of the silver is rhodium plated.</p>
<p>There are some great starting points for you &#8211; as well as some handy hints for further searching &#8211; the <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=19_130">Hot Diamonds</a> and <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=562_568">Georgini</a> collection offer affordable options with choices for both men and women.

<p>April is the month of chocolate &#8230; we mean, the month of rebirth and celebrating either how Jesus rose again, or how the Earth has emerged from yet another cold, horrible winter, depending on your way of thinking. But mostly chocolate!</p>
<p>We&#8217;re sure your marriage brings as much sweetness and energy into your life as chocolate does at Easter time, why not celebrate that on your April anniversary? The Pandora oval charm at the beginning of the article looks just like an Easter egg, and has a gorgeous 14ct gold heart to remind her how much you love her, also. She can pop it on a Pandora bracelet, necklace, or one of the new anklets or lariats.</p>
<p>The citrine white gold pendant at right is another great choice for April anniversaries. A more subtle reference to the eggs of Easter time, and also in the gorgeous autumn colours that prevail for Southern hemisphere anniversaries, this white gold pendant is extremely affordable. The large .96ct citrine is set on 9ct white gold, a nice affordable option especially for relatively &#8217;safe&#8217; jewellery items like pendants.</p>
<p>The Pandora Inspirations Ready Made bracelet at right has a wonderful seasonal flavour from all over the world. Spring is a time of rebirth, when all the mutual warming-up that was done during winter, yields results! The dove charm on this bracelet is a great celebration of that, while the wide old owl is more of an autumn style April anniversary gift, and the penguin is perfect for both North, and South-polers!</p>
<p>The heart cut peridot pendant honours two of April&#8217;s unique attributes &#8211; the fresh green of the peridot can&#8217;t help but remind you of the grasses and tender new growth that is slowly being uncovered as the snow and frost retreats. The heart, of course, is a nod to Aphrodite and the magic she&#8217;s worked in your life, in the form of your wife! The pendant pictured has a .91ct heart cut peridot along with two brilliant cut 0.01ct white diamonds, set on 9ct white gold.</p>
<p>Butterflies are another sign of spring &#8211; and who could resist this gorgeous Inori butterfly pendant?! It is actually quite a unisex design, as most of the Inori range is. Buy it as a &#8217;shared&#8217; gift for both of you, and feel the mushiness squishing between your toes <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  ! It is a stainless steel pendant, a nice middling 3.5cm long, with gold PVD plating accents at the top.</p>
<p>April&#8217;s signature flower is the daisy, which is quite easy to match in jewellery.</p>
<p>The Hot Diamonds range has some great options, including the set of flower diamond pendant shown at right. The pendant has a brilliant cut genuine white diamond in the centre of the flower, which gives it a cool, icy look so like the recently receded winter. They are made of lovely, inexpensive sterling silver, with rhodium plating for shine and tarnish prevention. The chain is included for even better value.</p>
<p>While the petal shape in the yellow enamel flower Pandora earrings at right is not quite the same as a daisy, they do have the same open, honest look about them. The bright sunny yellow of the enamel is another spring-like touch, also. These hoop earrings are made from sterling silver, like much of the Pandora range, and you&#8217;ll find both drop style and stud style earrings with the same motif in the earrings range, as well as pieces in green, orange, blue and purple.</p>
<p>April is also National Poetry Month, and what subject has inspired more poetry than love? Except maybe unrequited love &#8230; but you certainly don&#8217;t need to worry about that! The freedom bangle pictured by Inori is both a great way to show off your handsome husband, and incorporate some of your own poetry into an anniversary gift, by way of engraving. And as they say, if you love something, set it free!</p>
<p>There are literally hundreds of themed options to help you celebrate a hopeful, fresh and beautiful wedding anniversary in April. Our <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=18_214">anniversary gifts section</a> has plenty in one place, or you can enjoy wandering through the long aisles of the store armed just with your wits and imagination, for some stunning results!<br />

Oval Pendant on Red Silk Cord

<p>White Silk Cord</p></div>
<p>The traditional gift for four year anniversaries is silk &#8211; and while it sounds like this really doesn&#8217;t leave you many options in the jewelry stakes, in fact it opens up the huge and exciting world of pendants, with plenty of great gifts for both sexes &#8211; which can all be popped on silk cords! You&#8217;ll see that silk cords come in a variety of colors, and not only feel lovely and warm against your skin compared to metal chains, but are extremely durable, and add contrast, color and life to a piece. One of the pieces which comes with a pre-selected silk cord is the oval pendant at the beginning of the article. This is made of sterling silver, so is quite budget friendly, and the red silk cord gives it a lift out of the realms of the ordinary &#8211; and should hopefully lift your marriage a little also! The cord measures 45cm, so will sit up high on your husband&#8217;s handsome neck, and a little lower, but still in a noticeable position, on a woman&#8217;s.</p>
<p>However, you can put just about any pendant you wish on a silk cord. Many people are worried about the durability and strength of silk cords, but you can rest assured that a gorgeous pendant is certainly not going anywhere on one of these soft, luxurious silken chains! A single strand of silk is extremely breakable, but these cords have thousands woven together, and are both smoothly flowing and enduringly solid! No matter how hard they catch on something, they will definitely not break all at once. You can see some of the different colors of silk cord at the bottom of the article on the right hand side &#8211; most of these are quite unisex colors, and will suit either gemstone pendants for women, or enamel or stainless steel numbers for men.</p>
<p>There is a handy <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=18_214_503">4th anniversary gifts section</a> on site, which has a great selection of gifts for women. If you use the product finder box which comes up near the top of the page, clicking on teh Style tab, and selecting the Pendant box, you&#8217;ll get a great selection of gifts. ON a blue silk cord, you could try something like the sapphire and diamond cascade pendant pictured. This pendant contains seven pear-shaped blue sapphires, as well as three genuine white diamonds. The ten gems are contained in a dainty 2.7cm long piece, and all set on a gorgeous white gold base. It is a stand-alone item, so you won&#8217;t be left wondering what to do with an included chain, when you get the blue silk cord!</p>
<p>Something like the ruby and diamond pendant pictured underneath the gorgeous sapphire piece would go well on either a white or red silk cord. The rubies are natural, not synthetic, with a combined gemstone weight of .44ct. The diamonds weigh .2ct combined, and all of the gems are set on the highest quality 18ct white gold. While the white gold chain pictured is included with the pendant, this will either give your wife different wear options, or make a great base for your next pendant gift to her!</p>
<p>While there are fewer yellow gemstone pendants (although citrines are really gaining in popularity, as well as yellow sapphires!), yellow silk cords also make a great base for yellow gold based pendants like the heart aquamarine one pictured at right. The heart cut aquamarine is a .44ct, 5mm wide gemstone, and despite its size, is extremely affordable. The 9ct gold base keep s the entire thing well within budget for most, even at Christmas time when there are hundreds of demands on your wallet or purse!</p>
<p>We know that diamonds are forever, just like your marriage &#8230; diamonds will be with her in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, until death do they part (although they aren&#8217;t quite as cuddly at night as you are!). For diamond princesses, the Pandora limited edition pendant is a great choice. Made in 14ct yellow gold, with .25ct of natural diamonds, it comes &#8216;pre-loaded&#8217; onto a black cord necklace, and although this isn&#8217;t made of silk, you could easily change it for a black silk cord. It will also go beautifully on gold silk, or even white silk to complement the diamonds. There is a whole range of matching jewelry for this gorgeous necklace., including the limited edition diamond ring, with the same filigree design made of dainty bubbled gold, and the diamond and pearl earrings &#8211; all of the finer things in life, together in one piece!</p>
<p>And there are also plenty of options in the <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=9_263">men&#8217;s pendant section</a> &#8211; you&#8217;ll most likely be looking at a stainless steel or sterling silver piece, set against a white or silver silk cord background. However, red and blue also make great male colors, and make for a bit of individuality among the sea of silver colors in men&#8217;s jewelry land! The Inori men&#8217;s pendant pictured would look fantastic against a blue silk cord, with its tiny hint of blue in the pendant. It is made from stainless steel, and the color comes from PVD plating. Best of all, it has space for two engraved messages, on the front and the back. The extra charge fr engraving is really very small, and when you consider that the product ships for free across Australia, this more than makes up for it!</p>
<p>Anything in plain sterling silver or stainless steel looks great against a red silk background &#8211; just check the oval pendant at the beginning of the article if you don&#8217;t believe me! The stainless steel pendant pictured is a more male-oriented piece, at a solid 4.5cm long. This also has space for engraving on the back, and while the leather cord is included with it, this only gives you an incentive to build up his pendant collection at Christmas time, as well as for your fourth anniversary!</p>
<p>Of course, there is an absolutely enormous range of <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=9_117">pendants for her</a> and <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=9_263">pendants for him</a>, that would all look fantastic against the color and natural softness of silk.

<p>Since February is the month of St Valentine&#8217;s Day, why not use one of the event&#8217;s most popular symbols to celebrate the place your partner occupies … your heart! The Inori Heart&#8217;s Club men&#8217;s pendant at the beginning of the article is a subtle way that he can be reminded of your love, all day long! It is a dainty 2.5cm long, and can even be worn in conjunction with another pendant around his neck &#8211; showing just how everpresent your love is! And also how you are always watching him … <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  kidding! There is a matching ladies pendant available, if you&#8217;d like to give him a gift hint, either for Valentine&#8217;s Day or your anniversary.</p>
<p>Inori makes a wide range of sweet yet simple pendants, that revel in the sugary sweetness of love! They have quite a few pieces that are made as couple&#8217;s pendants &#8211; one piece fits together with the other, so that your two pendants can come together and make each other whole <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> . The clock style one pictured has roman numerals on the male side, with hands to tell the time on the female side. Count out the days and hours since you met … or since you will be in each other&#8217;s company again in style. Both of the pendants are made in stainless steel, with the color coming from PVD coating &#8211; brown on the attachment section of the male pendant, and gold on the body of the female pendant. They are both stand alone items, so you can get matching chains that will suit you both, also &#8211; a traditional link design is considered the most unisex, and offers you the greatest variety of base metals, lengths and link sizes.</p>
<p>And if you are just looking for a ladies&#8217; anniversary gift this February, Inori has plenty to offer also. The Heart-within-heart design at right is one of our most popular, and is extremely well-priced. You&#8217;ll need to preserve those funds for whatever comes after, your anniversary, or Valentine&#8217;s Day! This is again made in stainless steel with a gorgeous gold PVD plating &#8211; so you can be assured that your love will neither tarnish, nor be scratched! It is a dainty 2.3cm long (the photo can be deceivingly large), and as a bonus offers free shipping, anywhere in Australia! Alternatively, if you have left it to the last minute, express delivery is offered at a massively discounted rate.</p>
<p>Double up on your February features, with this gorgeous heart amethyst (the stone for February) pendant set on yellow gold. The amethyst is a 1.37ct specimen, set on 9ct yellow gold, for good budget-friendliness. With an anniversary and Valentines in one month (so soon after Christmas!), this&#8217;ll be an important feature.  The pendant section is a dainty 15mm, and the amethyst itself measures a very decent 8mm from top to bottom. Beautiful!</p>
<p>And your wife has surely made you cry on at least one occasion … hopefully more, if we are only counting Tears of Happiness! These Tears of Happiness earrings are part of the Hot Diamonds collection, and are made of their signature sterling silver. These, like most other Hot Diamonds products, have been rhodium plated to prevent tarnishing, and also to bring out the natural shine of the metal. Hopefully the earrings themselves bring out the natural shine in your wife, also! There are two sparkling, point-sized brilliant white diamonds set in the bottoms of these earrings &#8211; a lovely surprise.</p>
<p>The Hot Diamonds collection actually has quite a few lovey-dovey options for St Valentine&#8217;s month anniversaries. While many of them include love hearts, some are just as sentimental without the standardized symbolism &#8211; like this hourglass bracelet. Help her mark off the minutes until you can see each other again (or the minutes until dinner time, or bed time … much more interesting to many married couples <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  ), with this gorgeous sterling silver piece. The bracelet has been rhodium plated also, and actually includes four brilliant cut genuine diamonds, instead of the usual two. With free shipping to top it off, you can&#8217;t go wrong!</p>
<p>A major concern for many of you will be the fact that you need to buy both a Valentine&#8217;s gift and an anniversary gift within only a couple of weeks of each other. A solution to your dilemma lies where many solutions do … in the Pandora range! The Heart to Heart Pandora Inspirations ready-made bracelet pictured has a sweet, simple and gentle look &#8211; perfect for Piscean girls (or women!). It features a heart dangle charm, along with two pink cubic zirconia heart charms, making for a simple statement of love, and a wonderfully fitting gift for February anniversaries. Best of all, it gives you the opportunity to save a packet on whatever event comes second, your anniversary or Valentine&#8217;s Day, with charms like the following ones!</p>
<p>The flower belonging to the month of February is the violet &#8211; and its shy, gentle nature is especially fitting for Piscean girls! The enamel beads at right capture the spirit of the violet beautifully, with their open-faced petals and stunning coloration. The purple enamel flower bead is colored like a standard violet, while the blue-r charm is very similar to the mauve-blue tones of pale violets. Both of these charms are set on sterling silver, and either one teamed up with the Heart to Heart Inspirations readymade bracelet will make for a beautiful start to a Pandora bracelet. Best of all, it makes a great start to personal, beautiful, and budget friendly gifts for the next few years!</p>
<p>There are so many options available for February anniversaries, and we have only skimmed the surface of all of our love-themed jewelry. Keep browsing in the <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=19_130">Hot Diamonds collection</a>, the <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=549">Pandora charms collection</a>, and the <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=18_214">Gift Ideas for Anniversaries</a> for more beautiful gifts.
