<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>Citizen Black Dial Eco-Drive Chronograph Watch</p></div>
<p>Watches are a wonderful gift for both of the zodiac signs that make up the month of November! Scorpios are intensely emotional people &#8230; they form strong bonds and will often be known to be counting the minutes before they can be with you again <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> . Sagittarians, on the other hand, love their freedom and love to travel. They are likely to be counting the minutes until they can get away and do something fascinating and foreign, that makes them feel free! These passionate and spiritual men and women like their lives free and their watches even freer <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> . Here we check out the details of our top picks for both <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=323_536">men&#8217;s watches</a> and <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=323_537">ladies&#8217; watches</a> for November birthdays.<br />

<p>Scorpios can be fairly conservative souls &#8211; they are intense, very private &#8230; and appropriately, have black as their lucky color! The Citizen watch at the beginning of the article is part of the new season Citizen collection, featuring the lucky Scorpio color on its face and a classic design. It has Eco-Drive technology, so the watch is powered by light. If it was powered by love, it would be even more convenient for your Scorpio guy! It is water resistant to 100m, so is suitable for everyday swimming and snorkeling &#8230; just tell him to resist his instincts, and not go too deep <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Sagittarians guys are quite adventurous &#8211; and this extends to their sense of fashion, also! The bold, contemporary color combination of deep blue and champagne in this Emporio Armani watch is adventurous but certainly not &#8216;weird&#8217;!. The blue leather band is croco-embossed for that gorgeous texture without the cruelty &#8211; Sagittarians like to see crocs in the wild, not wear dead ones. The watch is a chronograph model with a date function, and quartz movement. It has an exotic amber crystal display, and will ship to you for free no matter where you are in the world.</p>
<p>Scorpios are intense men &#8211; and this extends to their dress sense as well as their feelings about you! The striking contrasts of this Wenger Commando Racing Team watch will be just as much of a selling point for Scorpios as the toughness and extra features of the piece. It has a vey cool slide rule and tachymeter, is made of the toughest mineral crystal glass and stainless steel, and is water resistant to 100m. And just like a two-year old, he&#8217;ll probably love the packaging just as much as the gift &#8230; it is a very cool stainless steel official Wenger gift box.</p>
<p>Your travel-hungry Sagittarian will often find themselves without access to replacement watch batteries, and certainly no access to Outlook 2003 to check on the date, for weeks at a time. Let them carry round these conveniences on their wrist, with the all-black Citizen Eco-Drive watch at right. He can wade through rivers with it on safely &#8230; in fact, he can swim or snorkel with it on, it is water resistant to 100m. Choose from 12 or 24 hour time, and make use of the chronograph function, the easy push button deployment buckle and the Eco-Drive technology which means that as long as he keeps adventuring outdoors, he&#8217;ll never need to upgrade his battery again!</p>
<p>Scorpio women can be a little traditional and conservative &#8230; but that isn&#8217;t to say that they like their jewelry and accessories boring! This Fossil charm bracelet watch design is among the most inventive we have currently, yet maintains a lovely classical look with its all-silver design and the traditional style charms along its length. It will withstand accidental splashing (Scorpios are a water sign, after all!), but isn’t suitable for swimming, at 50m water resistance. You can get a perfect fit for your Scorpio gal, no matter what size she is &#8211; the watch itself is available with a 13cm to 27cm long band, with some price increases in the larger sizes.</p>
<p>Sagittarians are the adventurous ones of the November-born pair of starsigns &#8211; so they are usually the ones that need something built tough, for plenty of use and abuse! Titanium is one of the strongest metals in jewelry and watchmaking, and this Citizen Eco-Drive titanium watch combines that strength with the convenience of Eco-Drive technology. If she&#8217;s coming down a sheer rock face, or trying to avoid wild bears, she doesn&#8217;t want her watch complicated. She just wants to know how long before the bears will be back, dammit! This will withstand accidental splashing, but no river-fording for her in this. It is also one of the best value watches in the range, with a generous 20% discount off RRP when you buy from Gilletts, due to our reseller partnership.</p>
<p>Wenger are traditionally a men&#8217;s watch brand, but why would that stop your adventurous Scorpio lady making use of the mountaineer functions on this Wenger watch?! The makers of the Swiss Army knife have added a luminous marker and hands for night-time visibility, a rotating bezel (to help calculate which way is north!), and 100m water resistance on this watch. It also comes with a 3 year peace of mind, manufacturer&#8217;s warranty.</p>
<p>Dark, mysterious, intense and a little conservative, Scorpio girls will love the black wood-toned band watch from Fossil at right. The simple design is right up their conservative alley! There aren&#8217;t any bells and whistles on this watch &#8211; just great quality and one of the most affordable price tags in store (with free shipping worldwide to boot). It comes with a 2 year manufacturer&#8217;s warranty.</p>
<p>If you were thinking of something a little different to help your Scorpio or Sagittarian mate count the minutes (to whatever they might prefer), keep checking out our range of <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=323_536">men&#8217;s watches</a> and <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=323_537">ladies&#8217; watches</a> in store. Look at the Eco-Drive models for toughness and convenience, and Fossil for classical yet stylish designs. Time is ticking!</p>

Men&#8217;s Mechanical Fossil Watch with DIamond

<p>Men&#8217;s Mechanical Fossil Watch with DIamond</p></div>
<p>There are heaps of great things about buying jewelry as a birthday gift &#8211; its longevity, the fact that it is so personal, and the fact that you can never have too much &#8230; apart from when your loved ones don’t wear jewelry! Watches are a great way to incorporate the traditional benefits of jewelry gifts for people that aren&#8217;t jewelry-wearers, whether they are men or women. We&#8217;ve had some exciting new additions to our watch range this year &#8211; check out our watch gift suggestions below for October-born men and women.<br />

<p>DKNY Crossover Style Two Tone Ladies Watch</p></div>
<p>Traditionally, there are supposed to be two different types of people born in October &#8211; the sociable, graceful, quality-obsessed Librans, who are forever going out, and the intensely private Scorpios, powerfully emotional, driven towards success and mastery of whatever they are interested in, and more than a little mysterious! Scorpio men will adore the blank, swallowing intensity of the black face Fossil watch at the beginning of the article. The diamond in the face is set over a tiny exposed area of the mechanics, creating a clever and stylish blend of class and technicality. The powerful look is more than skin deep &#8211; this watch is actually 100m water resistant, and the band is tough stainless steel.</p>
<p>Libra&#8217;s signature color is pink &#8211; which you won’t find very often incorporated into men&#8217;s jewelry! Wenger make it a modern yet masculine statement, and the durability of the watch shows that its anything but &#8216;girly&#8217; <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> . Wenger makes the original Swiss Army knife, and uses that same precision and strength in their watches. This watch features a luminous marker and hands, mineral crystal glass and Swiss quartz movement, and is water resistant to 50m. Wenger backs all of their products with a 3 year manufacturer&#8217;s warranty, also.</p>
<p>Scorpio men are notoriously intense, and the overwhelming reds and blacks of the Citizen Aqualand Promaster diving watch at right will be perfect for him. It is not only the color scheme which suits the Scorpio sensibilities, though. These guys tend to do something to death, when they want to get good at it &#8211; so if you have a diving or water-sports oriented Scorpio, they&#8217;ll need a watch built for the most extreme conditions! The watch has an water sensor an auto-diving mode, is water-resistant to 200m, and comes with the standard 5 Year Promaster warranty. It has the added bonus of incorporating Eco-Drive technology, a patented Citizen solar cell invention that allows the watch to keep working for 5 years, even in the dark.</p>
<p>Libran males won&#8217;t care about what a watch can do, though &#8230; only what it is made of and what it looks like! The classical, clean lines of the gold Citizen watch at right make a quality look easily affordable for Librans. The all-gold look is a shining, elegant one that fineness-driven Librans will adore, The watch is splash resistant and made of durable stainless steel, and despite its classy look, is even approved for use in the mines!</p>
<p>Scorpio women have that same drive towards privacy, the same intensity, passion and mystery that the men do. We love the Citizen Eco-Drive black-face watch at right for Scorpio women, with the contrast of hard, intense diamonds on black enamel. The band is a slim, conservative silver tone stainless steel, and this watch also features Citizen&#8217;s Eco-Drive technology. You can get it in a men&#8217;s version, as well, and also with a gold band if she would prefer. It has a convenient push button buckle, and a Citizen 3 year warranty for peace of mind. Remember to check out the price section on all our Citizen watches (as if you’d forget, I know <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  ) &#8211; we have a special partnership that allows us to offer some pretty hefty discounts off recommended retail!</p>
<p>The color scheme is opposite to the watch above, but we couldn’t go past the slim, dark, and gorgeously fashionable tones of the DKNY watch at right for Scorpio girls, also. DKNY watches, as with most of our fashion ranges, are extremely affordable, for the designer style they offer. This model keeps it simple, with just two digits on the face, and comes with no extra features &#8230; apart from New York style and quality! There is a 2 year manufacturer&#8217;s warranty on the model, and it ships for free to you, no matter where in the world you are.</p>
<p>Libran ladies love to have high quality items, and will no doubt wear the Citizen Stiletto Eco-Drive watch at right to its death! The design has an inventive radial balance, as well as a side to side symmetry, with the mother of pearl border around the face. There are twelve genuine diamonds set one each quarter of the dial, underneath ultra-tough sapphire crystal glass. It is water-resistant, and features Eco-Drive technology as well as the Citizen 3 year warranty.</p>
<p>Contrasting though it is, the DKNY crossover style watch at right is another great idea for balance-obsessed Librans. The gold and silver arms flow, move and then equal out in the design, and also find a color-based harmony with the mother of pearl dial. The face has the signature DKNY two-digit look. The band is stainless steel, although made with silver and gold tones. There is also a little bonus for you, the gift-gived, in the free shipping <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p>Our watch range is one of the most exciting areas of the shop to browse, with constant new additions, a myriad of different styles and something for every budget. Keep browsing for either <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=323_536">men&#8217;s</a> or <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=323_537">women&#8217;s watches</a>, and if you need any help searching or choosing, just click the Live Help link to the right of screen.</p>

<p>Fossil Champagne Dial Gold Tone Watch</p></div>
<p>The month of September is home to both Virgos, with their technical minds, obsession with perfection, and cool, reserved nature; and Librans, who constantly strive for balance and grace, won’t have anything less than the best, and can just about always be found spilling their thoughts to whom ever will listen! Just about any watch is a great present for a Virgo &#8211; to work, each has to be precise, exacting, and perfectly made. However, some are more technical than others, and these are Virgo favorites. Citizen is the home of technical excellence, and are true innovators in watch technology. Virgo men will love the Promaster range, with all that beeps, buzzes, measures and calculates. The Yachting timer watch at the beginning of the article is one of the more sleekly designed, and has a blue face (Virgo&#8217;s signature color). It features auto chrono start, a race timer and a split timer. It is 100m water resistant, has a magic light and comes with Citizen&#8217;s generous 5-year manufacturer&#8217;s warranty.</p>
<p>Libran ladies will see perfection as somewhat different, though &#8211; more of a style than a technical achievement. The DKNY Swarovski crystal watch is the ideal Libran gift &#8211; the band is absolutely encrusted with Swarovski crystals on a stainless steel base. Mechanically, the watch is also extremely high quality, with 30m water resistance, and a DKNY 2-year warranty. The watch ships for free all over the world, just as an added extra!</p>
<p>For everyday wear though, Librans will enjoy a little more color in their world. DKNY still has the answer, with the beautiful quality, coral pink and bronze tone ladies watch at right. The coral pink dial features a delicate filigree pattern &#8211; an extra that only adds to he feeling of quality. The bracelet is tough, durable stainless steel, and the glass is hardened mineral crystal &#8230; Libran hand-talkers can be lethal to watches! This watch ships for free also, both within Australian and internationally.</p>
<p>Virgo females as well as males will keep returning to the Citizen range, time and again, as the original trademarkers of technical perfection. The gold tone, black dial watch at right is perfect for Virgo women, with its rich, well-balanced look and tidy appearance. The watch also includes some of Citizen&#8217;s more technical aspects, such as Eco-Drive technology (an incredibly powerful solar cell that can power the watch for up to 5 years once fully charged). It has a date function and is splash resistant, and comes with a 5-year manufacturer warranty. There is also a hefty discount off RRP for this piece &#8211; check it out on the product page!</p>
<p>For Virgo males that are looking to branch out with a little more style, we love the sleek, shining yet subtly layered look of the Fossil large dial watch at right. The silver tone bracelet, dial and hands are cool and calming, like your Virgo guy, and the three sub-dials offer increased function but don’t clutter the face. You can order this watch in a variety of sizes, to suit just about all wrists &#8211; most come at no extra charge over the regular price, also. The silver tone men&#8217;s watch is 50m water resistant, and any mysterious occurrences are covered in the first two years by Fossil&#8217;s manufacturer&#8217;s warranty.</p>
<p>For Virgo men who prefer an everyday look, Wenger is one of the toughest, most precise watch brands around! The makers of the famous Swiss army knife have added their watch range to our store, and this &#8216;City Commando&#8217; watch is made to strict military standards. The piece has luminous marker and hands for easy night time viewing, 100m water resistance (suitable for swimming and snorkeling), and Swiss quartz movement. Free shipping and a 3-year manufacturer warranty complete the deal!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s back to the Citizen range again for Libran males &#8211; the automatic men&#8217;s watch at right has a see-through case back, so you can see the miniature technical perfection that creates such a stylistic achievement! Everything about this design is well-balanced, to appeal to Libran sensibilities &#8211; the face in relation to band, the number sizing on the dial, and even the coloring of the watch is a superbly balanced affair. It is 100m water resistant, and approved for use in the mines. One of the best features, from your point of view, is a huge 25% discount off current recommended retail prices &#8230; hurry over before that changes!</p>
<p>At the opposite end of the spectrum, we love this Fossil gold-tone and champagne dial watch for Libran ladies. There is not much that expresses utter quality and superiority better than gold, and champagne is the color of fun for chatty, sociable Librans! It is a fashion watch, so features splash resistance only, and a simple, well-balanced three hand analogue display. However, both the shipping and the Fossil 2-year warranty are completely free!</p>

<p>Red Ruby Drop Earrings</p></div>
<p>Those among you that are blessed enough to have kids already will truly understand that when it comes to birthday presents, it is the thought that counts! We move on from not caring at all about how much our aunties, uncles, grandparents and friends loved us when we were children (and only caring about what was inside that shiny paper!). Eventually we realize that things come and go all the time, and it is more important to just show people that you love them than to spend thousands on gifts. However, there is another dimension to this little truism &#8211; if you get someone a gift that they love and use constantly, they&#8217;ll be reminded of your love that much more often! This is where jewelry gifts are wonderful &#8211; there are plenty of pieces that will be loved and worn over and over again, that won’t break the bank. We have a look at some of our favorite inexpensive <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=23_155">jewelry gifts for men</a> and <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=18_212">women</a> for August birthdays.<br />

<p>Usually when we do these monthly &#8216;budget-friendly&#8217; specials, we look at gifts that are currently priced at or under AU$100. While there certainly is a huge range of these gifts, this month we are going to look at items up to AU$150 &#8230; so you can see what is just on the other side of that magical double-zero mark! There are gorgeous items like the red ruby drop earrings though, that fall well within our traditional &#8216;budget&#8217; range. These are one of the few ruby items that can be had for under AU$500. The red rubies are manufactured, and they are 12mm across and coupled with a myriad of different colored crystals. These will be a great choice for those of you searching for something for Leo women (born between the 1st and 22nd of August), who are traditionally colorful, dramatic, bold and vivacious.</p>
<p>A great alternative to the red ruby earrings, but with genuine mined gemstones, are the similarly-styled amethyst earrings at right. They have that same creative, cascading style, with the main stone 12mm amethyst drops, as well as several amethyst crystals. They are set on sterling silver for easy affordability, and make it well within our traditional under $100 budget range!</p>
<p>For those of you looking for birthday gifts for someone born on or after the 23rd,under Virgo, you will be looking for something a little more reserved, cooler, neater and precisely made. The freshwater cream apricot pearl earrings at right are a wonderfully sleek choice for Virgo women. Freshwater pearls are traditionally very cost effective, as well as coming in a huge variety of colors and sizes. These pearls are 7-7.5mm specimens, and are kept company by eight sparkling cubic zirconias at the top of the earring. Evening wear elegance has never been so affordable &#8211; these are currently under AU$70!</p>
<p>Perhaps the category where we most notice the effects of expanding our budget slightly is in the watch section. Moving up from AU$100 to AU$150 gives you more than ten times the number of options for gorgeous gifts. For Leo women, we love the dramatic contrast of wood against metal, two natural but completely opposite substances, in the Fossil watch at right. The metal edging makes for an accent, but one of the watch&#8217;s most creative (and therefore appealing) features for a Leo are the cutaways within each link, so you can see through to skin beneath the band. The watch comes with 50m water resistance (will withstand the occasional splash), and has a 2 year manufacturer&#8217;s warranty on it.</p>
<p>Virgo women, though, will love the sleek, petite lines of the silver tone Fossil ladies watch at right. This one is currently on special &#8211; so while it fits within budget now, you&#8217;ll have to be quick &#8230; it won’t be so wallet-friendly in three month&#8217;s time! It has a simple three hand analog display, and is made entirely of stainless steel. It comes with a two year manufacturer&#8217;s warranty, as well as a choice of sizes &#8230; Virgos will love having an absolutely perfect fit!</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve focused on affordable options for women&#8217;s jewelry so far, but men certainly don’t miss out! In fact, just about everything in the men&#8217;s range makes it well under budget. The Rochet collection in the men&#8217;s range has some great, inexpensive options, like the stainless steel and black rubber bracelet at right. Leo men will love the dramatic color contrasts as well as the creative use of different materials. The bracelet is 23cm long, which is a suitable size for most men&#8217;s wrists.</p>
<p>The next men&#8217;s piece is one for the Leo lads out there also &#8211; the Citizen watch at right, with its dramatically dark personality, actually falls under the AU$100 magical marker currently. Woo hoo! It comes without most of the bells and whistles that Citizen is known for, but certainly has the manufacturer&#8217;s trademark quality and precision, as well as a Citizen three year warranty. It has a natural, folksy leather strap that Leos will love, is splash resistant and comes with a stainless steel case.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll bet that you never thought that you could buy your friends and loved ones diamond pendants for under AU$100! Well, Hot Diamonds makes it possible, with just a little bit of diamond but a whole lot of style. Virgo vixens will love the sleek, flowing balance of the Crest pendant at right, with its partially polished, partially brushed finish, its gorgeously petite white diamond in the center, and the lovely middling size that makes it as suitable for work wear as it is for a cocktail party. The sterling silver is rhodium plated, to help prevent tarnishing and enhance shine, and the sterling silver chain pictured comes free with the pendant.</p>
<p>And we would be absolutely remiss if we didn&#8217;t let you know about the Pandora range in an affordable gifts article! Altogether, a Pandora bracelet is a luxury item, and many end up as heirloom pieces. However, every bracelet is made up of tiny, very affordable, building blocks! It is preferable, for many people, that the bracelet doesn’t get filled too quickly, so that the charms can represent a broad spectrum of their lives. Check out categories like the silver beads, as well as the gemstone beads (with samples pictured at right), for gifts under AU$30 and AU$40. The Murano glass beads are favorites the world over, and each can be had for less than AU$50. Even the enamel and silver/gold beads are quite affordable for those on a tight budget! There are thousands of products to choose from in the Pandora range, so there is something for everyone.</p>
<p>These inexpensive gift options are by no means the only ones in store. Check out the hundreds of products under AU$150 in <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=10">the earring category</a>, <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=9">the pendant category</a>, and the <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=549">Pandora pages</a>. If you need any help using the search result refinement box (blue box close to the top of the page) to keep to results within your budget, just call out through the Live Help link. We&#8217;ll be there right away to fix you up <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>

<p>Citizen Alexa Diamond Eco-Drive Watch</p></div>
<p>For the lucky majority of us, we don’t have to first get money, then power, before we get the women &#8230; we&#8217;re born into the love of at least one, and they tend to naturally surround us as we grow older! The mysteries of what makes women work may not be solved for your entire life, but at least you&#8217;ve figured out one small piece of the puzzle &#8211; that jewelry makes the ideal birthday gift for anyone of the softer sex! We look at some new, hot <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=18_212">birthday gifts for women</a> this year, whether you are buying for a mother, sister, girlfriend, wife, daughter, niece of friend.<br />

<p>There are two types of women born in August &#8211; Leos, whose birthday is from the 1st to the 22nd, are colorful, dramatic, bold and sociable sorts of people. Virgos, born from the 23rd onwards, are cooler, calmer and more collected, tending towards being a little reserved and very orderly. For Virgo women, the Citizen watch at the beginning of the article is the perfect choice. It is part of the new Alexa collection, a sophisticated range featuring pastel colors and the sparkle of diamonds. The cool white look will suit you Virgo woman perfectly &#8211; it is made up of stainless steel, mother of pearl, and 28 sparkling white diamonds set around the circumference of the dial. Virgos will also be enthralled with the technical perfection of Citizen&#8217;s work &#8211; amazingly accurate, Citizen Eco-Drive watches like the Alexa collection never need to have their batteries changed. The watch also comes with a 5-year manufacturer warranty, and currently has an incredibly low price tag on it!</p>
<p>Bolder, showier Leo women will find their stylistic home in the DKNY watch collection, where sleek lines are complemented by big, bold accents. This gold tone oversized numerals watch at right is a great example. This watch is actually quite tough for a designer item, with 30m water resistance on it (enough to withstand accidental splashing), and a stainless steel bezel, crown and case. It is a conspicuous 30mm across, and comes with a two year manufacturer&#8217;s warranty.</p>
<p>One of the easiest gifts for women is earrings &#8211; every woman has more than one pair in her collection, and a pair of evening earrings never languishes unused for long! The diamond drop earrings at right are perfect for Virgos, with their neat, sleek look and perfectly clear gemstones. There are 26 diamonds in total in these earrings, with a combined weight of 0.63ct. The diamonds are set on gorgeous quality 18ct white gold &#8211; they are a luxury item (and probably best given as a romantic gift), but a classical piece that will be with her forever.</p>
<p>Leo ladies will find nothing more boring than an earring that is all white &#8230; not even one color in them! They&#8217;ll love the amazing natural fire of the opal earrings at right. This style of earring comes in a huge variety of opal sizes and earring types. This pair is a drop design, with 9mm x 5mm opal boulder doublets inset into 14ct white gold. They measure 1.9cm in length, so while they&#8217;re big on character, they&#8217;re small enough for office as well as everyday wear.</p>
<p>Earrings are actually quite a suitable present for younger girls as well, like daughters and nieces. While small children often don’t have pierced ears, and even older girls don’t tend to change their earrings often, they are a &#8217;safe&#8217; sort of jewelry that is not easily lost like bracelets or pendants can be. The Pandora range has some lovely bright, happy designs, like the pink enamel flowers at right. These come in several different colors &#8211; we chose the pink for Leo littlies. Look for the light blue for Virgo girls. Every color also comes in a drop design also, which may be suitable for older girls, and there is plenty of matching jewelry available!</p>
<p>However, younger girls do love the prominence and sweetness of bracelets. Choose a baby style one, even for slightly older girls, for safety. The Me to You range is specially designed for kids, with the sweet teddy, star and heart motifs throughout. This baby bracelet is made from sterling silver, with an engraved &#8216;Me to You&#8217; on the outside of the bangle, a dangling star with engraved Tatty Teddy and a blue cubic zirconia. A great choice for neat, sweet Virgo girls!</p>
<p>For the more adult (but no less young at heart!) Virgo vixen, the Hot Diamonds range has some cool, sleek pieces. We love the heart design bracelet at right, as both a family and romantic gift for Virgos. The orderliness of the aligned hearts will appeal to these tidy women, as will the clean, shining sterling silver base. The bracelet has eight brilliant cut diamonds in the links, and measures 18cm in total. It has been rhodium plated for enhanced shine and tarnish resistance, also.</p>
<p>The pink pearl necklace at right is truly a piece for all ages &#8211; adult women will love the sweet, feminine look, and children and teenagers will enjoy the layered design and the unique flower crystal in the center of the necklace. The necklace area is 41cm long, so is suitable for average adult necks as well as children, and the drop section is a further 11cm long. The necklace is made of sterling silver and the pearls are freshwater, making for excellent affordability! A lovely pick for colorful Leo ladies.</p>
<p>Cool, calm Virgos have a signature color of blue for their sign &#8211; and being around these deep, collected women you can understand why. The sky blue and deep blue topaz pendant at right is one of our more popular designs, with 4mm x 6mm oval cut gems set on 9ct white gold. It is a dainty 2.5cm long, and is suitable for office and everyday wear as well as evening wear. It is also incredibly well priced for all that gemstone weight &#8211; you can layby it for less than the price of a takeaway lunch and coffee each week!</p>
<p>If there&#8217;s one thing we at Gilletts are familiar with, it&#8217;s what type of jewelry will suit what type of women! Keep browsing in our hand-picked <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=18_212">Gift Ideas for Her section</a>, and if you have any questions or want any pointers, just click the Live Help link at the right of screen.</p>

<p>Citizen Blue Dial Watch</p></div>
<p>When it comes to men&#8217;s birthday gifts for August, one half of the month is in luck, and the other needs to break out some creativity! Leo men are born between the 1st and 22nd, in August, and in contrast to most men&#8217;s jewelry around, these men are passionate, creative, dramatic and colorful. Virgo guys, on the other hand, are neat, conscientious, simple and fastidious &#8230; and quite easy to buy jewelry for! We look at how to find <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=23_155">men&#8217;s jewelry</a> that satisfies a Leo creativity, and Virgo pieces that aren&#8217;t the same as everyone else&#8217;s.<br />

<p>Virgo&#8217;s signature color is blue &#8211; and if you’re familiar enough with a Virgo to be buying them birthday gifts, you&#8217;ll know that the deep stillness, reservation and calm the color represents makes it the perfect choice for the sign. Virgos are neat, orderly, calm, and conscientious people, and will love the technical perfection of Citizen watches. The blue dial one at right is currently on special (check out the huge savings off RRP!), and has a sleek and stylish design that Virgos favor.  It uses Eco-Drive technology to power the watch &#8211; even after sitting in a drawer for five years it won’t need its battery changed! It has a day/date function, and is water resistant to 100m.</p>
<p>Leos have been in luck this month &#8211; in a range where black and steel dominate, our new Wenger watches range recently introduced some color and dramatic designs. Green is rarely found in men&#8217;s jewelry, but it makes a stunning statement on the Wenger watch at right. This is one of the strongest and most durably made watches on the market, water resistant to 1000m (yes, a kilometer!), with a luminous marker and hands for nighttime visibility, and a base of tough stainless steel. Every Wenger watch comes with a three year warranty &#8211; check out the range of colors, this design comes in red and blue also.</p>
<p>However, &#8216;color&#8217; in a design can also be a figurative aspect &#8211; the stylish heavy style men&#8217;s bracelet at right has just as much personality as anything with actual color in it. The bracelet itself is a sung 19.5cm around, but some jewelers will manufacture extra links for you if a larger size is needed. It is made entirely out of stainless steel, and makes a strong, shining statement against any outfit.</p>
<p>Watches are a great gift for Virgos, not only when they match up with their personal style, but simply because they help ensure these conscientious men run on time! Why not bring that feeling to a more traditional style of jewelry &#8211; the clock style pendant at right is made by Inori, and will remind him to look at his watch if nothing else! It is actually a couple&#8217;s pendant, making the pendant a great choice as a romantic gift. The women&#8217;s half of the pendant fits into the round cutaway on the men&#8217;s part. It is made of stainless steel with coffee PVD plating, and measures a middling 3.5cm long.</p>
<p>Virgos like to keep it simple, silly <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  &#8230; and there is no better way to do that than give them a slim, stylish unadorned chain as a birthday gift. They&#8217;ll have the option to add a pendant later (or you will!), but for now, they&#8217;ll enjoy the straightforward style and clean quality of the chain itself. The one at right is an Inori brand chain, thin enough to fit pendants on, but solidly designed enough to be stylish on its own. It is 55cm long and has a price tag that leaves you plenty of wiggle room.</p>
<p>Leos are big, bold and dramatic &#8211; making rings an excellent choice for them, an accessory to their gesturing! Titanium rings are one of the few areas of men&#8217;s jewelry where color can be found around every corner. The crescent blue titanium ring is just one of the stunning blue designs in the category. The ring is 5mm wide, quite petite for men&#8217;s jewelry, and is made with a light satin finish and blue oxidation. You also get to tell him exactly what you think of him (hopefully it is good!), with an engraved message inside the band.</p>
<p>Although blue is a signature color for Virgos, their love of neatness and coordination will make a sterling silver or stainless piece just as suitable for them, with their slick look and easy matching. The &#8216;Midnight&#8217; Hot Diamonds pendant at right is a great choice for Virgos, with its simple, regular style and stunning look. The pendant is 3.6cm long, with black rhodium coating on the front of the pendant which also holds a petite 0.02ct white diamond. The rhodium helps prevent tarnishing and increase the longevity of the piece.</p>
<p>In fact, the Hot Diamonds range has plenty of options for Virgos, with quite a unified style throughout the range. Virgos love tidiness and order, so cufflinks are a necessity &#8211; try the bar design cufflinks from Hot Diamonds with a genuine white diamond in each bar end. They are a compact 2cm long, made of rhodium plated sterling silver with a total of four white diamonds.</p>
<p>Leos will sometimes be called upon to wear cufflinks also &#8211; despite the fact that these bold and dramatic men belong anywhere but in the confines of an office! For Leos, a little color is better than none, and the mother of pearl cufflinks at right have a wonderfully subtle wash of color across their creamy face. The mother of pearl is set in sterling silver, and they are a little smaller than usual, at 18mm x 13mm.</p>
<p>This is far from the entire range of men&#8217;s jewelry gifts &#8211; have a browse through our specially selected <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=23_155">men&#8217;s jewelry gifts section</a>, or if you already know what style of jewelry you want, just choose from bracelets, necklaces, pendants, rings or cuff links under Men&#8217;s Jewelry in the left hand menu. Happy hunting!</p>

<p>Men&#8217;s Fossil Digital-Analog Watch</p></div>
<p>You know your husband is gorgeous on the inside &#8211; whether he has a creamy middle, a sweet caramel filling or a nutty sort of center, he is your one true love! The unfortunate thing is that husbands are not as talented at bringing that beauty and style to the outside as women usually are. One easy, simple and cost effective way to give his look a little more style is not with an entirely new wardrobe, but just with a few new accents. The men&#8217;s jewelry range has enjoyed some exciting new additions &#8211; here are our <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=18_430">recommendations for August born husbands</a>.<br />

<p>Citizen Men&#8217;s Chronograph Watch &#8211; Blue Dial</p></div>
<p>Of course, there are many, many layers to your husband. Just as there are to yourself! However, August-born men tend to have one of two personal styles. Leo guys, born on or before the 22nd of August, are dramatic, bold, outgoing and creative guys. Those born on or after the 23rd of August are Virgos; a little more reserved, cool, calm and conscientious. Some call them perfectionists, some call them obsessive-compulsive &#8230; you call him &#8216;your old man&#8217;! For Leos, though, we love the Fossil watch at the beginning of the article. It has a creative, unusual combination of analog and digital style not seen in any other watch on site, as well as a bold, dramatic look with its large face and contrasting dial panels. It is water resistant to 100m and comes with a two year manufacturer&#8217;s warranty, so will survive his sweat and splashes! It also ships for free worldwide.</p>
<p>Virgo guys are neat, tidy and extremely orderly. While many pieces of jewelry can be seen as extraneous and unnecessary, cufflinks are one jewelry type that actually adds to a tidy appearance, rather than cluttering it! Your Virgo guy will love the cool, clean tones of these Hot Diamonds cufflinks. They include two genuine white diamonds set in either link, as well as blue cubic zirconias set in their faces. The base metal is sterling silver, but it has been rhodium plated to enhance shine and prevent tarnishing.</p>
<p>We mentioned how creative and dramatic Leo guys are, and the subtle difference of this concave blue titanium ring will really stand out on your Leo husband. The indent is actually smaller than it looks, making the ring comfortable to wear as well as unique. It has an 8mm wide band, with a blue titanium center and polished natural titanium edges. Best of all, you have the opportunity to add a personal message to the ring, with up to 20 characters available for engraving free of charge! You will need to spoil the surprise for this one, though &#8211; titanium cannot easily be resize, so you&#8217;ll need an accurate finger measurement.</p>
<p>Jewelry doesn&#8217;t have to be complicated to stand out, or to be dramatic &#8211; for Leo men, we love the simple conspicuousness of the Inori bangle at right. In a similar style to the titanium ring above, the face of the bangle is created with a concave surface &#8211; but it is the simple vivid black which truly makes this a stand out item. The bangle is made of stainless steel, and measures 6.5cm across. The open face design makes it suitable for most men&#8217;s wrists, however. A cubic zirconia adds sparkle to the front of the bracelet, and the &#8216;Freedom&#8217; spelt out across the front makes a bold, Leo-style statement! Match it up with the &#8216;Freedom&#8217; pendant pictured just underneath it, also made in stainless steel and measuring 3.5cm long.</p>
<p>Virgos are all about coolness and calm &#8211; meaning that mental games are one of the areas in which they excel! Help him celebrate his talents with the domino-style &#8216;Game Theory&#8217; pendant by Inori at right. It is made of a cool stainless steel with alternating brushed and polished coating to create the design on the front. It measures 4.8cm long, and has a stylish offset attachment that lets the pendant hang diagonally rather than straight.</p>
<p>You may or may not have bought your husband an engagement ring. If you didn&#8217;t, then why not make up that little inequality now? And if you did, well, even males can never have too many diamonds <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  ! The unique men&#8217;s diamond ring at right is a gorgeous luxury item, a lovely rich accent to both office wear and evening wear (yes, they look pretty much the same if you are a man!). It is made of 9ct white gold (made without nickel, our white gold is suitable for all skin types) with patterned alternating bands around its circumference, and features a 0.08ct genuine white diamond in the center. We love it for either Virgos, who will enjoy the cool sleekness of the design, or Leos, sociable souls who can never have too many evening wear pieces!</p>
<p>Where the signature color for Virgo is a cool, calm blue, for Leos it is a lively, energetic orange! The color was difficult to find in men&#8217;s jewelry, until we added the Wenger Swiss watch range to our store. The orange-circled watch at right is a diving watch made to the highest military standards, water resistant to 200m and comes with a 3 year manufacturer warranty. It also has a luminous marker and hands for night-time visibility, a rotating bezel and a solid 40mm case size.</p>
<p>Being on time is incredibly important to Virgos &#8211; but rather than the bold, colorful toughness of Wenger, these orderly men will enjoy the technical perfection of Citizen watches. The model at right is from the Chronograph collection, and while it is far from simple or boring, it has a sleekness of design that Virgos will love. The blue dial incorporates their signature color, and the watch doesn&#8217;t only have an ocean-feel in its design, it is suitable for swimming and snorkeling at 100m water resistant. The watch also comes with a three year Citizen manufacturer&#8217;s warranty.</p>
<p>There are a hundred great ways to help your husband look as beautiful on the outside as he is on the inside! If you haven&#8217;t seen the perfect gift yet, keep browsing in the specially selected <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=18_430">Gift Ideas for Husbands section</a>, or just click the Live Help link for real, live assistance from a human person!</p>

<p>If you&#8217;re anything like me, you think the world of your husband! They may be completely different to us (messy, unable to understand why we can’t remember street directions, occasionally grumbly), but it is the differences that make it all work, day to day. There is one area where men and women are mostly the same, though &#8211; jewelry is an excellent birthday gift for both of us.

<p>There are two types of men in July (yes, there are many more than two types in the world!). Those born on or before the 22nd are emotionally driven, protective, shy yet strong and more conservative Cancerians. Leo rules from the 23rd onwards, making guys more passionate, energetic, sociable, dramatic and colorful in general. The Mystery men&#8217;s diamond bracelet at the beginning of the article is perfect for Cancer men, with its subtle, more conservative look. The signature color for Cancer is white, and while silver is almost, but not quite the same, the genuine diamond included in the piece is s sparkling 0.02 white stone. The bracelet is 22cm long, but if he prefers to wear his bracelets snugger (and Cancer guys are often snugglier than most!), links can easily be removed.</p>
<p>Leo men, on the other hand, look for pieces that will sparkle on the dance floor, and flash as he gestures to his mates at the pub. The rose gold tone stainless steel bracelet at right is perfect, with its big, bold styling and dramatically unusual combination of rose gold and black rubber. The stainless steel base (with PVD coating for color) makes this an especially tough item, suitable to withstand the tests of energetic Leo husbands! It is 21cm long, and includes free shipping.</p>
<p>For Cancerian husbands, though, the easiest place to start is the Hot Diamonds collection. The subtle shimmer of diamonds on silver suits their shyer, slightly more conservative personality beautifully, as do the genuine white diamonds the dot every piece. He&#8217;ll love pendants, that allow him to hide his jewelry under his clothes if need be, or show them off when he feels like it. The bracelet at right is named Spotlight, but is quite similar in style to the Mystery bracelet shown above. These would make a lovely set of gifts, either for a birthday or a birthday-Christmas combination.</p>
<p>Leo guys are one of the most colorful signs in the zodiac, but unfortunately there are not many pieces to help express that side of their personality available in men&#8217;s jewelry. Opals are one of the few flashes of true color you&#8217;ll find &#8211; and this gorgeous opal ring incorporates them beautifully. The opal inlay is set in a 7mm wide band, made of 18ct white gold for suitability with all skin types. The ring is a wonderfully weighty 12.3g. Unfortunately, you may have to spoil the surprise for this one &#8211; opal inlay rings are difficult to resize, so you&#8217;ll need his size measured accurately by a jeweller.</p>
<p>It is not only color the defines Leo men, but movement and drama.  While your husband&#8217;s energy may exhaust you at times, it is the perfect match for this Fossil watch! The watch never needs the battery replaced, it is charged by the movement of his arms. A series of gears continually move as he moves, and a cutaway in the dial lets you actually see what is happening inside the watch. The band is stainless steel, in your choice of sizes, and the face is carbon fiber. The watch also ocmes with a 2 year manufacturer&#8217;s warranty from Fossil.</p>
<p>Cancer and Leo men are often seen to be as different as night and day &#8211; and nowhere is this more evident than in their choices of birthday watch! The white tone dial of this Citizen Eco-Drive watch incorporates Cancer&#8217;s signature color beautifully, as well as representing the simplicity and lovely workmanship of the entire piece. The watch is  water resistant for splashes, has a date function as well as time, has a non-reflective crystal face and incorporates Citizen&#8217;s famous Eco-Drive technology. Eco-Drive works by absorbing sunlight or artificial light, and storing it in a solar cell to power the watch for up to 5 years, even in the dark!</p>
<p>Cancer men are likely to be a little conservative not only in the styles they prefer, but the types of jewelry they wear. If you have an office bound Cancer husband, you most likely know the morning rush to find two matching cufflinks! Help solve the problem with these Hot Diamonds silver cufflinks, made of the trademark sterling silver, each with three genuine white diamonds set in the face. They have a gorgeous smooth curve, and are otherwise unadorned &#8211; just how he likes it!</p>
<p>Rochet recently brought out a limited edition MotoGP series of jewelry, and this suspension pendant is the perfect choice from it for Leo guys! Your husband lives for thrills and drama, and there is nowhere better to get them (for a guy!) than the racetrack. Give him his kicks every morning with this stainless steel and PVD coated piece. The pendant is a masculine 4cm long, and features free shipping across Australia. If you and your husband like its style, there are plenty of other MotoGP pieces in the men&#8217;s gift ideas section to be found.</p>

<p>248 Gemstone Strawberry Earrings</p></div>
<p>Cancerian women are born from the 1st to the 22nd of July, and tend to be emotional, protective, and a little shy but strong when required! They can also be a little unpredictable and indecisive &#8211; they shift like the ocean&#8217;s tides. The beautiful pearl earrings at the beginning of the article are perfect for Cancer ladies, with gemstones celebrating the ocean that they are so intimately connected to, and also incorporating their signature color, white. There are six pearls on each earring, measuring 6-6.5mm each. They are a flowing, elegant addition to an evening wear wardrobe, and suitable not just as a romantic gift but also for platonic friends or family. They measure 50mm long, and ship for free across Australia!</p>
<p>The pearl drop necklace at right is a lovely match for the earrings as a Cancerian July birthday gift. The necklace chain itself is quite short, at 40cm long, so sits nice and high around the neck. However, the drop section is quite long, and features nine 7-7.5mm freshwater pearls. The necklace is a unique, but not too showy, 5-chain design. Shipping is free and the necklace is included &#8211; no hidden costs!</p>
<p>We mentioned that Cancerian women are emotionally driven &#8211; no cold, hard logic for these loving women! The Tears of Happiness Pendant at right is a lovely alternative it pearls, while still honoring the Cancerian signature color, white. Again, the pendant is most suitable for evening wear &#8211; the drop section measures 5.4cm and the chain (included with the pendant) is 45cm long. The sterling silver has been rhodium plated, to help enhance shine, prevent tarnishing, and make the pendant suitable for all skin types.</p>
<p>The entire Hot Diamonds range is filled with great options for birthday gifts for Cancer girls, and is one of the ranges that makes stylish jewelry birthday gifts for children, as well as grown women. The flower diamond bracelet at right will be with your niece or daughter for the rest of their life, creating happy memories! It features silver flower shapes, each adorned with a brilliant cut white diamond in its center. The bracelet is 17cm long, so will be suitable right into her teenage years. They actually fit many adult women well also. For smaller children, the lobster clasp is easily attached to one of the inner links, so it can be worn securely.</p>
<p>Straying away from silver, but keeping it understated and conservative for Cancerian females, is the ultra-slimline Citizen watch at right. Featuring a mother of pearl dial and an elegant, princessly look that your Cancerian lady will love, the watch is made entirely of stainless steel and incorporates Citizen&#8217;s Eco-Drive technology. It looks classical, but under the bonnet are a raft of technical advancements! Eco-Drive technology uses solar or artificial light power to store enough energy to run the watch in the dark for up to 5 years &#8211; no battery changing required! It is splash resistant, and comes with a 5-year manufacturer&#8217;s warranty.</p>
<p>Pandora is a range that has plenty of options, both for grown and growing Cancerian women! The Love Hope Manifesting Inspirations bracelet is great way to create a ready-made, cohesively designed Pandora bracelet that caters to Cancerians&#8217; emotionality. On top of this, notoriously indecisive Cancerians can chop and change the beads as they like! This bracelet features eight different charms as well as the base bracelet.</p>
<p>Leo is the starsign that takes up the last part of July, from the 23rd onwards. Leo ladies are traditionally very dramatic, colorful, sociable, and bold. They are often very creative, and get along well with kids &#8230; to the point where you are not sure who is mentally younger! They are also natural, folksy souls, which is why we picked the salmon CZ flower anklet from the Pandora range for Leo women. Again, these are suitable for both younger and older women, and the charm can be changed at will from the enormous selection of Pandora beads.</p>
<p>The jewelry category where color is often hardest to find is in the watch section. Silvers, golds, black and mothers-of-pearl dominate &#8230; but none satisfy the rainbow dreams of a Leo lady! Try the DKNY coral pink watch at right &#8211; she&#8217;ll love the dramatic and unusual mixture of pink and bronze, as well as the patterning on the faces of the links and dial. This watch packs a lot of style for an affordable price, and features free shipping as a bonus.</p>
<p>Just as Cancer&#8217;s signature color is white, Leo&#8217;s is a bright, energetic orange. Citrines are a great way to incorporate orange into a Leo jewelry box &#8211; she&#8217;ll love both the color and the big bold style of these citrine on white gold earrings. The stones are 6mm x 8mm pieces, oval cut and set on 9ct white gold for affordability. Another great thing about citrines is that they offer a high gemstone weight at affordable prices &#8211; these are currently less than AU$100!</p>
<p>We have saved the best for last, though &#8211; the gorgeous strawberry earrings at right feature a total of 248 individual gemstones, including the July birthstone, the ruby. Besides rubies, there are green tzavorites, pink sapphires, yellow sapphires and natural white diamonds, all set on 18ct white gold. They are certainly a luxury item, but make for a never-to-be-forgotten birthday gift!</p>
<p>There are literally thousands of items of ladies&#8217; jewelry on site &#8211; there is guaranteed to be something that your female loved one will adore! Check out the rest of our hand-selected <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=18_212">gift ideas for women</a>, or keep browsing <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=549">the Pandora pages</a> to find gifts for both young and &#8216;just a bit older&#8217;!
