<p>In our collective psyche, diamonds are a lot of things. Diamonds are forever, she gave me diamonds and pearls, diamonds are a girl&#8217;s best friend (whereas &#8216;man&#8217;s best friend is a dog <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> !). But today, we are focusing on just one of the amazing properties of these tightly bonded matrices of carbon … the fact that they are the birthstone for every boy and gal born in April! Today we check out some of the new, amazing, popular and completely classic products utilising diamonds in store, great for <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=21_198">April birthstone jewelry gifts.</a><br />

<p>Diamonds are most often used in very classical-style pieces in store at Gilletts, and the gold heart necklace at the beginning of the article is a great example! Yellow gold, 18ct, with three brilliant cut white diamonds. The chain for the pendant is included (a 40cm long chain which will sit nice and high on the collarbone to be shown off!), and is made of 18ct gold also. It&#8217;s a beautiful romantic gift &#8211; and if you have a new relationship and don&#8217;t have a good idea of her preferences yet, a classical piece like this is ideal. Pricing is better than you might think, as well!</p>
<p>The Pandora diamond ring at right is just as sleek, chic and classically styled, but much more affordable. You actually get around the same diamond weight in this piece as in the pendant above (0.03ct), but because of the sterling silver used as a base instead of 18ct gold, you are paying around half the price. This is a beautiful gift for girls that like simplicity in their elegance &#8211; there are several matching pieces throughout the Pandora range, including an alternate bubble design ring, drop and stud earrings and bracelet charms.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll also find quite a few non-standard designs incorporating diamonds &#8211; the inclusion of these very traditional stones helps &#8217;soften&#8217; a design that&#8217;s a bit off the wall! These heart diamond stud earrings are a good example &#8211; the overall effect is quite mild, but the shaping and gemstone placement is definitely unusual. They are a dainty 0.5cm in length &#8211; perfect for girls who can never be bothered taking their earrings out for bed (guilty!).</p>
<p>On the border between utterly traditional, and very, very out-there, is the Pandora gold charm at right, with its matrix design and 0.05ct of black instead of white diamonds. The birthstone for April is simply the diamond &#8211; no additional colour boundaries imposed &#8211; so this is within &#8216;the rules&#8217;, just as all the other products are! If your loved one already has a Pandora bracelet, this makes for an awesome showpiece charm. If you’re starting a bracelet for her, grab quite a few spacers &#8211; this charm is worthy of a lot of attention!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re guy-buying this April (buying for a guy, that is … rather than purchasing an actual male <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  ), the Hot Diamonds range has possibly the largest and most modern collection of diamond jewelry for men. The Sprint ring pictured, along with the pendant, are two of the more unique and individual pieces form the range. The Sprint ring is a stunning 11mm from top to bottom, and features three brilliant cut white diamonds in the surface. The pendant has just one diamond, and s great value &#8211; the chain pictured is included with the pendant (very few products have this added bonus!), and the sterling silver has been rhodium plated. The rhodium is similar to platinum, and the plating helps ensure that the pendant stays shiny and tarnish-free for quite a while.</p>
<p>It isn’t only standard jewelry that allows you to indulge in the luxury of diamonds (at least, through your birthday guy or girl!). The Emporio Armani watch at right features diamond hour markers on the gunmetal face &#8211; the entire piece is so deliciously smooth and shiny, it seems like liquid. The watch comes with a 2 year warranty, and just like the diamonds on its surface, is tougher than it looks &#8211; it is 50m water resistant and made entirely of stainless steel. Apart from the diamonds, of course!</p>
<p>The diamonds are a subtle addition to the Citizen perpetual calendar Eco-Drive watch at right, but end up being one of the features that the wearer appreciates most! Even more so than the Armani model, this watch is tough as nails … or tough as diamonds. It comes with a huge five year warranty (just like all Citizen&#8217;s Eco-Drive products), and is suitable for swimming as well as the doing the dishes. It also features a perpetual calendar function and non-reflective crystal for ease of outdoor use. Is there anything it doesn&#8217;t do? Not really <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p>There are literally hundreds of <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=21_198">diamond jewelry gifts for April birthdays</a> on site. While there are some true luxury pieces available, it is possible to find diamond jewelry products for as little as $50! Have a browse through the collection, and enjoy buying a gift that is &#8216;forever&#8217;.</p>

Actually, we&#8217;re sure that most of you don&#8217;t live this stereotypical life, and that your wife is much, much sweeter than that. And in truth, that is why she deserves a long-lasting, sentimental and well-chosen gift for her birthday! If you’re shopping for a gorgeous Gemini wife, or a cute-as-a-button Cancer chick this June, we have <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=18_434">some great suggestions for you</a>.<br />

<p>My Children Inspirations Ready Made Pandora Bracelet</p></div>
<p>Gemini girls love to mix things up &#8211; they like a mental challenge, they like things to be a little whimsical, and they are extremely sociable. Gemini women also have a certain childlike demeanor about them, and they never feel bound by age barriers. Cancer girls, on the other hand, are shy, loyal, and very strong. They can be fairly emotional (you have probably seen both the positive and negative sides of this tendency!), and are family oriented. We love the champagne cubic zirconia drop earrings at the beginning of the article for Geminis &#8211; not only do these sociable souls love going out and will have plenty of excuses to wear the costume style jewelry, yellow is one of Gemini&#8217;s lucky colors. They are a sweeping 50mm in length, with a slimline look. The champagne cubic zirconias measure 8mm x 6mm, and are accented with white CZs. They are also a great price for an item with such a luxury look!</p>
<p>The amber necklace at right has a completely different feel, but is just as suitable for your Gemini wife. Yellow again, to incorporate the sign&#8217;s signature color, the pieces of amber are actually carved into leaf and rock shapes for a gorgeous outdoorsy effect. The necklace itself is 42cm long, sitting comfortably around the throat, but high enough to show it off and not get caught on clothing. The base metal is nice affordable sterling silver.</p>
<p>For Cancerians&#8217; on the other hand, whose signature color is white, we have been enthralled with the Pandora diamond, silver and yellow gold ring at right fro the moment it arrived in store. That was actually not so long ago &#8211; it is quite a new piece. It features three genuine white diamonds with a combined weight of 0.03ct, set in 14ct yellow gold. The ring base is sterling silver and it is rhodium plated for both better shine and tarnish resistance. If your wife love, love, loves it (!) and can&#8217;t live without it, there are several matching pieces within the Pandora range, including stud and drop earrings, bracelet charms and a dainty pendant in the same style.</p>
<p>If your wife needs a bit of a lift this birthday, this gorgeous diamond heart necklace will take her right back to those heady engagement days with the sparkle of this diamond heart necklace. Emotional Cancer girls will love the fact that she&#8217;ll wear this right against her heart &#8211; and when even her Cancerian strength and determination fails her, you&#8217;ll be right there to back her up! It has a lavish total of 50 brilliant cut white diamonds, all G color and Vs to Si clarity.</p>
<p>Gemini girls get their hearts all aflutter over things that are not quite like what everyone else has &#8211; these mentally acute girls need constant difference and stimulation. Alternative forms of jewelry, like the Pandora pearl toe ring pictured at right, are particularly popular with Geminis. The toe ring is made of affordable sterling silver, yet has a touch of class with the inclusion of June&#8217;s birthstone, the pearl, on the front.</p>
<p>The toe ring above is so affordable that you might want to get a matching present &#8211; and the interchangeable Pandora range offers plenty of options. The pearl huggie earrings at right would be a lovely discreet gift for a Cancer girl, as well as a great match for the pearl toe ring pictured above them. There are several matches within the bracelet charms range for these earrings, they can be worn anywhere and don’t need to be taken out at night!</p>
<p>When it comes to earrings though, Gemini girls like a little extravagance and a party atmosphere, like in the Georgini ones at the start. But if you’d like to include the June birthstone for her, the garnet and pearl drop earrings at right are a striking choice. These earrings are long, flowing affairs, at 7.5cm long, and made for pierced ears. Check them out to be surprised by how affordable they are for all that elegance!</p>
<p>We mentioned that Cancerian ladies are quite family oriented, and we have a couple of great ways for her to bring that secure, loving feeling around with her everywhere she goes. If you have daughters, her and your wife will both enjoy these Tatty Teddy Me to You bracelets. They feature blue cubic zirconias on an affordable sterling silver base, but best of all the stronger bangle design calls to the inner strength of your shy Cancerian.</p>
<p>The &#8216;My Children&#8217; Inspirations ready made bracelet at right is another lovely way to bring that fun, forgiving family feeling into your wife&#8217;s day &#8230; something that Cancerian girls love. It is a sweet and affordable way to begin a Pandora bracelet with a theme. The beads are interchangeable and you can add or subtract them easily &#8211; if you have some offspring-combination other than one girl and one boy, Pandora can still accommodate you!</p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t yet found the perfect gift for your wife, there are plenty of areas to keep searching in. Check out our hand picked <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=18_434">gift ideas for wives</a>, or look for birthstone gifts in the <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=15">pearl jewelry section</a>. And if you need any help, just ding on the little bell that is the &#8216;Live Help&#8217; link at the right of screen, and we&#8217;ll be right there.</p>

<p>If you are searching for a gift for an April birthday, you will be looking to please either a fiery Arian, freedom loving, passionate and individualistic, or a devoted, sensual, earthy and solid Taurean. Men and women born from the 1<sup>st</sup> to the 19<sup>th</sup> of April are born under Aries, while Taurus rules from the 20<sup>th</sup> onwards. The loose diamonds pictured at the start are the perfect beginning to a personalized Arian gift. If you wanted, you could certainly present these beautiful stones just as they are, and let your willful, determined, individualistic Arian decide what to do with them (this might be the best idea, after all!). </p>
<p>Taureans, on the other hand, whether they are male or female, love anything that expresses love, devotion, and sensuality. And what could do that better than your own words?! We&#8217;re not telling you to go off and write poetry for a birthday gift instead &#8211; you can still get some sleek, classical jewelry for him or her! However, there is quite a range of engravable jewelry at Gilletts, including pendants, bracelets, and rings. The Inori black accent bangle at right is a great choice for Taurean women. Simple, solid, nothing too &#8216;frilly&#8217;, you also have space to write your own message of love inside the band of this one. The engraving will match the engraved patterns outside the band. The bangle itself is stainless steel, solid and hard wearing.</p>
<p>For male Taureans, you&#8217;ll have room to write an absolute essay of love inside the band of this Hot Diamonds silver bangle! It has an extra wide 19mm band, made of solid sterling silver and featuring a brilliant cut white diamond bezel set into the exterior. Taurean guys will love the heavy earthiness of the bangle, and best of all, you have plenty of options for matching jewelry to complement it. Check out the rest of <a href="../../../../../../index.php?cPath=19">the Hot Diamonds range</a>, where you&#8217;ll find neatly matching pieces like the square, solid and simple Hot Diamonds pendant below the bangle, which is also engravable. If the bracelet doesn&#8217;t offer enough room for you to tell him how you feel about him, there are always other options!</p>
<p>But perhaps the engravable gifts with the most intriguing options are the titanium rings that we have on site. The double lunar one pictured at right, as well as the blue diamond ring below it, come from our ready-made range. Most of the ready-made range have quite a few personalization options that come along with them, like band width, rounding, titanium color, addition of gemstones, and of course, ring size.  There are some special sorts of designs in this area, and both Arian and Taurean guys will appreciate them &#8211; the solidity and strength of titanium appeals to both, while Arians love the individuality of the rings, and Taureans will melt over the special messages you&#8217;ll engrave inside the band <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p>But we also have a section where you can design your own titanium ring. You can start from scratch, adding bands of different color titanium (from blue, purple, iridescent, natural, etc), different polish finishes, put gems in the band, choose your preferred band rounding and width, and then, to top it all off, engrave a message. Phew! Titanium rings are the male equivalent of heirloom diamond jewelry &#8211; titanium lasts forever (it is used to make spaceships, after all!), and will still be in as good condition when your grandchildren are wearing it as when he takes it out of the box. Well worth it!</p>
<p>However, female jewelry fiends from the beginning to the end of April will find personalization, and satisfaction, in the Pandora pages. Pandora recently launched a couple of new ranges of jewelry, including an anklet section. You can either use the charms that come with the anklets in store, or personalize the gift by choosing one or more of the hundreds of bracelet charms on site to go on it. While the brown CZ charm shown on a leather anklet is not personalized (yet!), it is a beautifully suitable option for Taurean girls. The earthy, sensual tones of the leather and brown gem will work perfectly with their personality.</p>
<p>If you want to personalize the gift, the silver and gold heart padlock and key is always a popular choice for Taureans. They&#8217;ll melt at the overwhelming lovey-doviness of it! The amber birthstone charm is always a good choice for Taureans as well &#8211; while it is a November birthstone (according to Pandora&#8217;s classification), these wonderfully warm rocks are one of the fruits of the earth, both in nature and color. Both of these choices are dangle charms, which are best for anklets.</p>
<p>One recently added product which adds a world of excitement and possibility to the Pandora pages for Arian girls is the leather lariat which you can now buy on site. These 100cm lengths of leather come with either 14ct gold, or sterling silver ends (we recommend the warmth of yellow gold for Arian girls), and are made to be worn as either necklaces, bracelets, armbands, or anklets. You can add as many different Pandora beads as you like to these, and with some clever twisting, can usually get them to stay in place. What Arians will love is the individuality of it (as well as the fact that because they are new, they&#8217;ll be among the first to have one!). You can twist it any way you like, and personalize them with fiery, passionate, Arian style beads like the red fire ribbon Murano glass bead, or the lion with CZ eyes, pictured at right.</p>
<p>There is literally a jewelry option for everybody on site, no matter what their taste, with rings, bracelets, anklets and even ankle wraps to suit anyone&#8217;s taste! Check out the <a href="../../../../../../custom_titanium_rings.htm">titanium rings</a> or <a href="../../../../../../index.php?cPath=549">the Pandora pages</a> for some more ideas, or have a browse around <a href="../../../../../../index.php?cPath=9">the men&#8217;s pendants</a> or <a href="../../../../../../index.php?cPath=13_31">ladies bangles</a> if you&#8217;d like to engrave a birthday gift this April. If you need help with anything, we are only as far as the Live Help link at the right of the page.</div>

<p>What is a classic? If you have a classical style friend or loved one, you&#8217;ll certainly understand the feeling of classicism that they exude. It is confident, elegant, graceful &#8230; as if tomato sauce simply slides off their clothing and leaps onto a napkin, and wrinkles (both skin and pants) just run away from them in fear! If you are looking for a gift for a classical friend this April, whether male or female, jewelry is an excellent choice. Every thousandth of an inch of a jewelry piece is examined under the microscope, polished, prettified, and perfected, just like your classical style friend.

<p>Classicism is about singularity, clean lines, and uncomplicated designs. It is sometimes about incorporating traditional materials, too, like yellow as opposed to rose gold, or sterling silver as opposed to stainless steel. The amber earrings are a great example of a classical style gift &#8211; simple circular shape, without extra adornments, the personality of the stone shines. These are perfect for classic Arian females, whose birthday falls between the 1st and 19th of the month. These men and women are fiery, passionate, bold and adventurous, and like their jewelry to be the same! The fiery depths of amber are great for these girls.</p>
<p>Strangely, though, jewelry pieces with a completely opposite tone and feel are also perfect for them! The heart shaped diamond ring at right is another good choice for Arian girls with a classical bent. Diamonds are the hardest and boldest of all gemstones &#8211; and in fact, any substance known to man! This sweeping diamond ring is made from 18ct, tough white gold, and actually uses three diamonds to make up the heart shape. They have a total diamond weight of .52ct, put together with an &#8216;invisible&#8217; setting. A special gift, for a special lady.</p>
<p>Classical Taurean girls are more grounded, earthy, and artistic than fiery, energetic Arians &#8211; but just as enamored of beautiful, traditional style jewelry like the rose gold leaf ring at right. Roses are one of the most elegant and graceful of all flowers &#8211; and your classical Taurean girl probably smells as good as they do, even first thing in the morning! This ring is made from 18ct rose gold, with fourteen brilliant cut white diamonds weighing .11ct together. The band is a striking 18mm wide &#8211; this will be a showpiece in your Taurean friend&#8217;s outfits.</p>
<p>In fact, one of the handiest places to find heaps of classical style jewelry gifts all congregated is in the wedding jewelry section! You don&#8217;t have to be romantically involved with your giftee to buy from this area &#8211; you only have to know that classical lords and ladies are always in their element at weddings &#8230; and wedding style jewelry can even transform the clunkiest and most awkward into handsome swans. There is even a special section for flower girl jewelry, where you&#8217;ll find cute classical style children&#8217;s jewelry gifts, like the sweet, dainty and classical 5mm peacock blue pearl earrings at right. These are freshwater pearls, and you can also get them in silver grey, apricot, canary yellow and black pearl versions.</p>
<p>There is also plenty of &#8216;big people&#8217; gifts in this section! For elegant Arian enchantresses, the Pandora gold bubble diamond bloom earrings are perfect, with their hard, sparkling stones set in warm yellow gold. These are made of Pandora&#8217;s signature 14ct gold, and the diamonds are sweet genuine 0.01ct stones. There are a couple of matching jewelry pieces, which we highly recommend grabbing also &#8211; if classical ladies don&#8217;t have a match for what they want to wear, they just won&#8217;t wear it! The diamond bloom earrings are actually slightly larger than the ring, at 3cm in length.</p>
<p>The bridal section also yields some individual ideas for artistic Taurean girls. The pruple iolite, diamond and pearl necklace at right is a great example. Incorporating an artistic graduation and variance in gem shapes, into an elegant, singular drop style necklace, with both new and traditional gemstones, it is the perfect balance! The drop section is quite large, and sits on a 43cm necklace &#8211; high enough to be shown off above clothing. The iolites are pear and emerald cut, respectively, and four tiny brilliant cut white diamonds provide sparkle at each intersection, with the entire piece topped off with 12mm, 5mm and 3mm fresh water cultured pearls.</p>
<p>But it is not only ladies who can have the gift of making whatever they touch look like a royal palace! There are just as many classical style men gifted in this area, and quite a few jewelry options for them. Most men&#8217;s jewelry is of the modern school, since it has come to popularity fairly recently. It is easier to use the search box, and check metals like sterling silver and gold, as well as the Diamonds box in the Gemstones tab. You&#8217;ll find gorgeous classical gifts for Taureans, like the Zen symbol pendant at right. He&#8217;ll love the earthy tones of the genuine eont timber in the pendant, as well as the classical silver and clean lines. A black rubber necklace is included, but for classical men, you might want to choose a sterling silver chain to match the pendant base.</p>
<p>The &#8216;Punched&#8217; Hot Diamonds pendant is another option for classical men &#8211; and especially for Arians. He&#8217;ll love the toughness and strength of diamonds just as much as Arian women do, and the simplicity of the piece appeals to his classical look. Even the name is strong and powerful &#8230; although your man may never have punched anything other than a boxing bag! The diamond is a genuine ,02ct stone, set in rhodium plated sterling silver. The rhodium prevents tarnishing and enhances shine.</p>
<p>Rings are another type of jewelry which ahs an innate classicism &#8211; they are among the oldest forms of jewelry, and certainly the most widely worn by males. The white gold section has some great classical rings, including this one with artistic cutouts for Taurean males. It has a jigsaw puzzle pattern, with a genuine white diamond set into each piece (a total of ten, or .16ct weight), with a 7mm middle-sized band. It is part of the Dora wedding ring collection &#8211; but we won&#8217;t tell him if you don&#8217;t!</p>
<p>There are so many options for classical men and women within the site &#8211; and a great place to uncover them is in the <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=18_212">Gift Ideas for Her</a> and <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=23_155">Gift Ideas for Him</a> sections. If you have any trouble deciding what is classical and what is not, or would like some pointers on the comprehensive product finder box, we&#8217;re usually about in the Live Help box at the right of your screen. Please, let us out! <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Pandora 25th Anniversary Earrings</p></div>
<p>Diamonds are many things &#8211; they are forever, they are a girl&#8217;s best friend, and nothing touches the heart like a diamond. They are also the birthstone for April! If you have a loved one turning a year older and wiser this April, <a href="/index.php?cPath=21_198">diamond jewelry</a> is an excellent choice &#8211; and there are options for all budgets. Diamonds are the hardest substance known to man, and highly prized for jewelry because of their ability to split white light into its component colors. Try following <em>that</em> trick by pulling a rabbit out of a hat, and see what sort of reception you get! They are often a romantic gift, but their durability and universal appeal make them great gifts for just about anybody &#8211; including your Dad, Mom, sister in law, or kid cousin! We have a look at some of the fantastic diamond jewelry making waves for people born in April.</p>

<p>Diamonds are incorporated into some of the most beautifully designed, inspirational pieces of jewelry. The Titanium and white gold Dora ring at the beginning of the article is a great example, with its subtle color layering, horizon-rings and the sparkle of diamonds like twinkling stars scattered around it. Dora is usually a brand for wedding rings, but any special occasion would make this a great gift for a very special April-born guy. The outside is titanium, with the white gold in the centre, making for a very scratch resistant piece of jewelry. The tiny white diamonds scattered around the face are genuine 0.1 ct diamonds, and are of the highest color and clarity ratings. They are hammer set for security, and the band is a comfortable 7mm wide.</p>
<p>Diamonds are more commonly given as female gifts &#8211; and so many wonderful jewelry brands have created some really special pieces with diamonds. Pandora is a great example &#8211; they even chose to use diamonds as the feature for their 25<sup>th</sup> anniversary diamond and pearl earrings. These earrings have that lovely Pandora textured look, and incorporate all the richest, most elegant of Pandora&#8217;s signature symbols. They are made in 14ct yellow gold, and have six genuine white diamonds included, totalling .25ct. The luster of the fresh water pearls set off the rich gold and clear diamonds perfectly &#8230; and there are even a couple of matching pieces of jewelry. The matching necklace is shown at right. You&#8217;ll need to be quick with these though &#8211; they have been discontinued (they were a limited edition, after all!), and the last ones will be snapped up pretty quickly.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re starting to think that diamonds are out of your reach, though, think again. There is quite a quick and simple way to find diamond jewelry that will suit any budget. Every one of our category pages has a product search box (blue), smack in the middle of the page when it loads. Choose the Price tab, on the bottom left, and use the slider to filter out the results that you don&#8217;t want. Diamond gifts go up to $9,825, so this is an extremely handy feature! The Hot Diamonds range dominates the less expensive end of the diamond jewelry scale, with some sweet new designs, like the Moment earrings at right. They are a neat and petite 1cm high, an feature 0.15ct genuine white diamonds. The price difference comes from the fact that they are set on sterling silver, instead of gold. This chic, slick metal is rhodium plated for Hot Diamonds customers, which helps prevent tarnishing and enhance shine.</p>
<p>Hot Diamonds have spent a fair bit of time lately updating their range. The Crest pendant shown at right is another piece available for next to nothing, in diamond terms, but with a whole lot of modern style. It measures 3.4cm, so is not overly large, and has a genuine white diamond set in the very centre. The sterling silver is rhodium plated, as always. This pendant comes with a matching 45cm chain included &#8211; great value!</p>
<p>Sapphires and diamonds are often partners in crime, and if you know an April born lass that likes a bit of color in her jewelry, they go beautifully together in rings and pendants, so that you can have color and a birthstone in her gift. The Ceylon sapphire ring at right is a lovely piece, with princess cut, channel set stones, and four white baguette cut diamonds accenting the beautiful rich blue. The 4mm gold ring is made of 18ct metal, so is wonderfully hard wearing. This will be an heirloom piece of jewelry!</p>
<p>Sapphires and diamonds can also have a more modern look, though, and the white gold pendant at right is a great example. The large blue sapphires are set on 9ct white gold, to help keep the piece affordable, along with three white diamonds with a combined weight of .05ct. It has a beautiful, voluptuous look, and is petite enough to suit both day and evening wear. It is a stand alone item, so you get to choose whichever chain you think will suit her best.</p>
<p>And men don&#8217;t miss out in the pendant stakes, either. The Inori diamond pendant pictured is a unisex item (you&#8217;ll have to fight him for it!), a petite 2cm long and features a brilliant cut white diamond. It is set in stainless steel, which is just as hard wearing as the diamond itself. This is also one of our more budget friendly diamond items &#8211; and when you add in the free shipping, you really can live surrounded by diamonds, no matter what your budget.</p>
<p>Diamonds are such a versatile gift, that you are bound to find something that will suit your April born guy or girl, for any taste and any price tag. You can check out the <a href="/index.php?cPath=21_198">entire range of diamond jewelry</a>, or just our expertly selected <a href="/index.php?cPath=296_300">April birthday gift ideas</a>.

<p>April born women will either be born under Aries or Taurus &#8211; and you can tell the difference quite easily! Arian girls are fiery, passionate, bold and adventurous, while Taurus women are usually strong and dependable, as well as earthy, and very artistic. If you don&#8217;t really know what category your female fits into (confusing thing!), Aries are born before the 20th, Taureans are born on or after the 20th. The Pandora gold earrings at the beginning of the article are picked especially for Arians &#8211; the yellow gold is a warm, fiery metal, while the diamonds are one of the hardest substances known to man &#8230; apart from an Aries girl&#8217;s mind when she puts her stubborn hat on! The flowers are a nice, mid-sized 1cm in length, and the gold base is great quality 14ct, just like all Pandora yellow gold products. Each of the diamonds in the centers of the flowers is a genuine white 0.01ct stone. There is also a matching ring which Arians will love, a tall, boldly designed 10mm band that Arians will be enthralled with.</p>
<p>However, it is not only yellow gold items that suit bold Arian babes &#8211; the Hailstone &#8216;Pure&#8217; Hot Diamonds bangle at right is a great choice for Arian girls. It&#8217;s wide, strong design is complemented by a &#8216;hail&#8217; of 14 genuine 0.01ct white diamonds at one end. The bracelet itself is a world of contrasts &#8211; shaped like licking flames, but with icy hail falling from one end! The sterling silver of the bracelet has been rhodium plated, which both enhances shine and prevents tarnishing. It also makes it suitable for all skin types.</p>
<p>For Taurean girls, a sense of artistry and a feeling of uniqueness are important &#8211; and the sapphire and diamond drop earrings at right certainly are unique. With a very individual protruding shape, the basket shaped earring tops are made from 18ct gold &#8211; solid and dependable as she is! The sapphires are pink, yellow and blue colors and total 3.82ct in weight; the diamonds that sit alongside them are also the birthstone for April. At 6.5cm, these are best worn for special occasions.</p>
<p>Taurean girls are just as much into jewelry that feels strong and bold as Arians are &#8211; but more because they love the feeling of dependability that they convey themselves. The Citizen rose gold watch at right is a perfect example &#8211; this is much larger than usual ladies watches, and features a perpetual calendar and world time for 24 cities on the dial. It is water resistant to 100m, so is suitable for water sports like swimming and wearing in surf. It also has the Eco-Drive technology patented by Citizen, which uses solar energy to provide up to 180 days of uninterrupted timekeeping once fully charged. The small brown accents and rose gold make for a fabulous earthy tone for this watch.</p>
<p>Watches are also a great gift for Arian girls &#8211; they are often so caught up in what they are doing that they forget where they were supposed to be, five minutes ago! Go through the Michael Kors range for strong, boldly designed ideas for Arians, like the tortoiseshell watch at right. The band has beautiful textured (fake!) tortoiseshell links, and the watch itself comes with a two year manufacturer&#8217;s warranty &#8230; and free shipping!</p>
<p>In a slightly different sort of bracelet, this luxe-feel, old-fashioned bracelet from Royal Doulton will spark the romantic, artistic soul of many a Taurean lass! Priced for special birthdays (or extra special women!), the bracelet is made of 9ct white gold, with each container-link individually inlaid with blue jade. You&#8217;ll see that the edges of the links also have a certain sparkle &#8211; that comes from the 66 white diamonds that are inlaid around the bracelet&#8217;s surface. A beautiful, east-meets-west, exotic yet traditional bracelet.</p>
<p>For Arians, the diamond bracelet at right may have a lacey look, but the width and linear character, as well as the abundant use of nature&#8217;s toughest gemstone (it will beat up a peridot any day!), the diamond, make it a perfect Arian selection. The gold is tough, 18ct white variety, and there are actually 111 genuine white diamonds laid around the bangle. They are Si clarity, and a valuable H color grading. The bracelet weighs a luxuriant 45g, so there is no need to worry about it falling off without her noticing &#8211; it would be like your handbag falling off without noticing! Top quality, and very special.</p>
<p>Diamonds aren&#8217;t the only gemstones that your Arian girl will become besotted with &#8211; there are options for all budgets. Amber is a very individual gemstone to include in jewelry, and it has a primordial fire in its depths that sings out to fiery Arians. The dangle amber earrings at right are great for any budget, yet special enough to let her know what she means to you! They are Baltic variety amber, set on sterling silver. They measure 60mm long, and are great for special occasions as well as everyday wear. There are also plenty of matching amber necklaces, like the wonderful graduated color piece below.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve given you plenty of ideas for April born gifts for women &#8230; but in reality, there are hundreds of different personalities, each with their own taste in jewelry. So if you haven&#8217;t seen the perfect gift here, keep browsing in the <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=18_212">Gift Ideas for Her</a> section, check out the <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=21">gemstone jewelry section</a> for amber and diamond pieces, or keep looking through <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=323_540">Michael Kors&#8217; watch collection</a> for the stars. Good luck, and happy gift-giving!</p>

<p>Pandora Diamond Flower Daisy Ring</p></div>
<p>If your wife is born in April, she will either be a fiery Arian enchantress, or a dependable, artistic Taurean temptress <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> . Aries rules from the first to the 19th of the month, and wives born under this sign are usually fiery, passionate, energetic and bold. Taurean girls, born on or after the 20th, are usually dependable, earthy, artistic and musical women. Your choice of jewelry will vary accordingly &#8211; but one thing that all women love is a diamond, so it is lucky that this is the birthstone for April!</p>
<p>The stunning diamond drop earrings pictured at the beginning of the article are actually quite affordable for all that &#8216;rock&#8217; they include. There are 16 genuine white diamonds, set in cool, sparkling white gold in these very well-priced earrings. Despite their slimline looks, they are only 3cm long, so quite wearable day to day. No need to make her wait until a special occasion to show them off! They are made for pierced ears, and feature free shipping across Australia.</p>
<p>The Citizen Diamond ladies two-tone watch is another excellent birthstone gift choice for wives, helping her bring that special, pampered feeling that diamond jewelry imparts to everyday activities like waiting for a bus! The watch face is surrounded by 32 genuine white diamonds, and a mother of pearl dial accents these beautifully. The watch comes with a 5 year manufacturer&#8217;s warranty, so you needn&#8217;t worry about your energetic, on-the-go Arian wife&#8217;s hard wearing habits destroying the workmanship very soon. It also features Eco-Drive operation (no need to replace batteries!), it is splash resistant and incorporates a low charge indicator. This is all available with Gilletts exclusive Citizen discount, which knocks $100 off the RRP!</p>
<p>However, not every wife is into diamonds (even if there is a diamond for every budget!). For fiery Arian girls, look beyond the clear sparkle of diamonds into energetic, optimistic gemstones like amber and citrine. The amber necklace at right is a unique, modern design, with generous sprinklings of the rich, fiery gemstone, including an extra large show-piece at the front. The base is sterling silver, helping keep this especially affordable, and at 42cm, it will sit above clothing to be easily displayed! The amber is a Baltic variety, which is luxuriously heavy &#8211; the necklace itself weighs 22g.</p>
<p>Citrines will be just as much of a thrill for Arian wives, and we love one of the newest citrine products, the impressive citrine ring shown at right. With a whopping 19.5ct stone, cut in a fashionable asymmetrical manner, and set in warm yellow gold for fiery Arians, it will definitely make for a memorable birthday! You might get an extra-big bear hug &#8230; make sure you wear the body armor that you reserve for arguments with your Arian Mrs <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  ! The gold base is a luxurious 18ct, and the product itself features free shipping.</p>
<p>Taurean wives will love jewelry that is a little less crazy, energetic and overwhelming, preferring subtler, earthier colors. Smokey quartz suits them perfectly, and Pandora is one manufacturer that knows how to incorporate smoeky quartz in a modern, unique way. The smokey quartz necklace shown at right has the stone set alongside a sister variant, lemon quartz, on a traditional style oxidized sterling silver chain. The sweet gold heart accent at the attachment of the dangling stones is used as a motif throughout the rest of the matching jewelry available. There are Pandra beads, stud earrings, and a finger ring available, but the only other piece in the range to also incorporate smoeky quartz is the earrings pictured below the necklace. Go for double or nothing &#8211; or after she goes crazy for the pendant, pull out the earrings for Christmas!</p>
<p>All gemstones are &#8216;the fruit of the earth&#8217;, and therefore beautiful to earthy Taurean girls. But peridots, with their natural green leafy color are especially appealing to them. These solid and dependable women love jewelry that also feels solid and dependable, not dainty and ephemeral, making the large heart peridot pendant perfect for them. The peridot itself is just over 4ct, and the chain is made of 9ct white gold, so is suitable for all skin types. The lovely heart cut of the peridot is also a gorgeous romantic gesture for her!</p>
<p>We mentioned that Arians are fiery girls, so yellow gold is a good choice for them, with its warmth and richness compared to sterling silver or white gold. That&#8217;s why we love the Pandora champagne pearl necklace at right as a gift for Arian wives &#8211; even the pearl that adorns it seems to be made of yellow gold! The necklace is made of 14ct gold, as always with Pandora products, and the diamond is a sweet 0.02ct genuine stone. The open faced, daisy like flower on the necklace makes this especially suitable, as the daisy is Aries signature flower. There is plenty of matching jewelry to go with this necklace &#8211; two of the more popular pieces have been the champagne pearl earrings, and the daisy-diamond ring shown at right. In the earrings as well as the pendant, the drop section is a lovely petite 2cm long &#8211; perfect for not getting in the way of energetic Arian activities.</p>
<p>And if you haven&#8217;t found something just right for your wife in amongst all of these ideas, don&#8217;t stress &#8230; you won&#8217;t have to go ask her! There are plenty more expertly picked suggestions in our <a href="/index.php?cPath=18_434">jewelry gifts for wives area</a>.

<p>Red with Red Flowers Pandora Charm</p></div>
<p>If you are searching for a gift for an April born lass, she&#8217;ll either be an Arian &#8211; born before the 20<sup>th</sup> of the month, full of fire, passion, energy and bold spirit, or a Taurean, born on or after the 20<sup>th</sup> and much more stable, grounded, sensual and artistic. For these Taureans, a connection with the earth is important, hence their strong attachment to their feet! It is not uncommon to find that many of the world&#8217;s shoe-obsessives are actually Taureans. You can help them indulge that weakness with some of the new products from the Pandora range, their anklets. Choose the leather ones for Taureans &#8211; this comfy, solid material has innate appeal for those born under the sign of the bull! This anklet is infinitely adjustable, as it is tied around the ankle lariat style. There are several of these new anklets, but the one shown features a large Paraiba topaz set in a flower design. The flower is made of Pandora&#8217;s traditional oxidized sterling silver base, with its old world charm. These are also quite inexpensive, compared to much of the Pandora range!</p>
<p>Pandora also recently added <a href="/index.php?cPath=549_590">toe rings</a>, which for grounded, earthy Taureans are one of the best inventions of the jewelry world since adjustable clasps <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  . Toe rings are again quite inexpensive compared to other Pandora gifts. For Taurean girls, we love the beautiful aqua of topazes, set against leaves, one of the Earth&#8217;s most common bounties. It is made of oxidized sterling silver, and made as a one size fits all piece.</p>
<p>There is also plenty to keep fiery Arians happy in Pandora&#8217;s new toe ring section. These passionate goddesses will enjoy rich, warm gold, as well as the durability of the world&#8217;s toughest gemstone &#8211; the diamond. This diamond gold toe ring is at the upper end of the price scale &#8211; but as she would ask, isn&#8217;t she worth it <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  ?! The 14ct gold is extremely scratch resistant, which is important for toe rings, as they are quite vulnerable to bumps and knocks. This toe ring features free shipping, and make sure you get your orders in early for April birthdays &#8211; these popular items often need to be ordered from the manufacturer.</p>
<p>Taureans are often very artistic souls, and music is a common expression for this creativity. The Pandora gold drum charm is perfect for musically minded Taureans &#8211; and much quieter than a real set of drums! The silver part is oxidized sterling silver, while the drumsticks themselves are made from 14ct gold. The charm itself is a nice regular shape, and an inconspicuous design, which fits well with just about any other charm.</p>
<p>There is also plenty for Arian girls in the silver and gold section. We picked the gold star charm, because your Arian girl probably often reminds you of a star &#8211; burning hot, destroying everything that comes near her, but also making life on Earth possible. Awww! She&#8217;ll also love the rich warmth of the prominent yellow gold, which, because it is set on sterling silver, is much more affordable than complete gold charms.  Checking through <a href="../../../../../../index.php?cPath=549">the Pandora pages</a>, you&#8217;ll also find plenty more astronomically themed charms to go along with her star charm, for the future!</p>
<p>And for Taureans, we couldn&#8217;t resist the gold shoe charm shown at right. I think we mentioned that Taureans make up a large proportion of the world&#8217;s foot fetishists <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  , and this is another great way to indulge them. As always, the show is made of 14ct gold, and set on oxidized sterling silver. All of the previous three charms can be found in the <a href="/index.php?cPath=549_570">Silver and Gold range</a> of Pandora charms, where you&#8217;ll find a huge variety at very affordable prices.</p>
<p>There are also options for April birthday gifts that require no psychological analysis of personality and preference whatsoever! If you want to make it easy for yourself, go for a birthstone gift. The diamond matrix charm at right has friends all over the Pandora range, with various types of earrings and a ring also available in the same style. They are made completely of 14ct gold, and set with genuine white diamonds, with a total weight of .04 ct.</p>
<p>We know Aries girls love the fire and toughness of a diamond, and as April&#8217;s birthstone, these are also suitable for Taureans. However, many Taureans will like something a little more grounded and earthy &#8211; in <a href="/index.php?cPath=549_571">Pandora gemstone beads</a>, you can go for stones like brown cubic zirconia and smokey quartz.  The brown CZ scrolls bead at right makes excellent use of this relatively cheap gemstone, with a swirling, flowing style and a rich earthy feel.</p>
<p>There are also a few earthy options in the Murano glass range for Taureans &#8211; one of the best is shown. The Mystic Circles design has been one of our most popular, and this one gets a touch of class with 14ct gold setting to accent the deep rich colors of the glass. With Murano glass, the design is actually created inside the glass, not painted on top of it, making these beads long lasting and wear-resistant.</p>
<p>Aries girls will also love the rich colors of the Murano glass beads &#8211; the red on red flower design shown at right will set their soul on fire. The flowers themselves explode into inconceivable white heat at their centers, with two different shades of red to create a textured, subtle effect. These are set on oxidized sterling silver, so are quite budget friendly.</p>
<p>With Pandora&#8217;s new expansion into the &#8216;foot market&#8217;, there really is something for everyone in this range! So if you haven&#8217;t seen just the right thing here, don&#8217;t be discouraged &#8211; there is plenty more to pick through in Pandora&#8217;s new <a href="/index.php?cPath=549_590">toe ring</a> and <a href="/index.php?cPath=549_558">anklet</a> section, as well as old favorites like the <a href="/index.php?cPath=549_572">Murano glass</a> and <a href="/index.php?cPath=549_570">Silver and Gold</a> areas.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is sort of the holy grail of gift giving … finding a gift that is not only loved and often used, but personal and unique … it sounds great, and is actually easier than people think to find!

<p>February born guys and girls will either be Aquarians, born between the 1st and 20th of the month, who are unconventional, individual, free-spirited and sociable individuals, or Pisceans, who are gentler, more artistic, and focused on the spiritual and the mystical. One of the beauties (!) of having an Aquarian loved one, is that unusual tastes sometimes run to the expensive … so if you are in a position to give an extra special gift this year, or have a special occasion coming up that you&#8217;d like to combine with a birthday, loose diamonds are one of the most personalizable and beautiful items on site. </p>
<p>There are options for everyone, and one of the least recognized is the Nomination range. These bracelets are a sleeker, neater version of the Pandora charm bracelet, with a clever linking system that allows them to sit flat around your wrist. The simple, clever design even makes them suitable as men&#8217;s jewelry gifts! These are especially suitable as Aquarian gifts, again &#8211; the system that offers all of the choice and flexibility, in a completely unique way, is bound to appeal to these unique and inventive souls. For male Aquarians, they are bound to love the fact that they will not only be among the very few with Nomination bracelets, they are among the stylish, trendsetting few that wear bracelets at all! For Aquarians, a great place to start is with an iolite gemstone link &#8211; this unconventional, little known gemstone will match up well with your Aquarian guy or girl, and is also in a signature color for the zodiac sign &#8211; electric blue.</p>
<p>For the ultimate in personalization, you can even grab a nomination link that can be engraved with whatever message you like at a local jeweler &#8211; or simply contact us to have all that hard work done for you! The plain links with engravable plate are found in the Engraved Signs Mania section of the Gold category. You&#8217;ll find some ideas for what to engrave in this section, also &#8211; some people like to put a favorite football team or city, their name, or a motto-word such as Love, Peace, Light, Hope, Spirit … etc. For Aquarians, you could think of something unusual … like &#8216;Huh?&#8217;, or something random, like &#8216;Dishes&#8217;. It&#8217;ll be highly amusing to these rebellious souls, at least!</p>
<p>Nomination bracelets are just as suitable for Pisceans, with a huge range of available links. The magic of love is often a focus of these gentle, spiritual and mystical guys and girls, and it is captured beautifully in both of the links at right. The cupid one can be found under the Gold category, in the Love section &#8211; sweet and angelic as your Piscean girl! The geometric heart will appeal a little more to her artistic side, and is on an unusual enamel base color panel, rather than simple silver. This one is under Love in the Enamel category, which is great for incorporating subtle color into these bracelets.</p>
<p>And speaking of the ultimate in personalization, you can have something truly unique, and truly made just for the person you are buying for, if you choose a piece of jewelry that can have a message engraved on it. There are dozens of our products that can have messages engraved for free, and we can do it for an extremely reasonable price on any piece that has enough room, a suitable base and finish and shaping. There are more than you expect! Of course, rings are the most commonly engraved items, and the zebra titanium ring at right will be an excellent choice to use as a base for your personal message to Aquarian guys. These unconventional males will love the unusual material, as well as the very striking color! This particular titanium ring comes with only one width and finish option, but many of the titanium rings we sell can be personalized to a certain taste … and plenty can also be built from scratch! This ring has a satin finish, and a nice middling 8mm band.</p>
<p>And everybody is used to engraved messages on ID bracelets, but you can have that personalization in a much more stylish and modern form, with options like the Hot Diamonds bangle to the right. This extra wide bangle is open fronted, and should fit both men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s wrists. It features single sparkling white brilliant cut diamond, and you have plenty of room for an engraved message inside there! You could write a whole essay, or perhaps exam notes, if you liked <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  .</p>
<p>Pendants can also be used as a base for very personal messages &#8211; the ultimate in individual gifts. The daintiness and gentle design of this double sided pendant for men makes it perfect for Piscean guys. It has an unusual dual finish, with a satin finish on one side and a polished finish on the other. It is a generous 40mm long, so there is actually plenty of room to say a few words to your gift-ee. It is made of hard wearing stainless steel, like so many of the products in the men&#8217;s jewelry range, and is a stand alone item. While it is pictured with a black rubber necklace, we actually recommend the gentle, easy coordination of a stainless steel chain, or even a sterling silver one, for your Piscean guy.</p>
<p>And there are also engravable options for women strewn throughout the range, too! The Hot Diamonds necklace shown is great for either Pisceans or Aquarians, with tis very unusual attachment, sure to please an Aquarian need for difference, and a gentle styling that suits Pisceans so well. It is made of a lovely soft sterling silver, which has been rhodium plated to prevent tarnishing, as well as bump up the shine factor! It features two pink sapphires as well as a brilliant cut white diamond, and the chain that is included with the pendant is 45cm long &#8211; comfortable, but good for showing it off above clothing!</p>
<p>So you see, it is possible to get something absolutely unique, truly individual, and suited exactly to your gift-ee <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  .

<p>Pandora Infinity Paraiba Topaz Earrings</p></div>
<p>Women bring a little something extra to the lives of guys … a little prettiness in a sea of practicality, the occasional delight of a great home-cooked meal, a reason never to take longer than 5 uninterrupted minutes in the bathroom … you know you love them! However, in all seriousness, if you&#8217;d like to let a lovely lady know how special she is to you for her birthday this February, jewelry is a great choice. Whether you are looking to thank your mother for decades of cleaning up after you, to show appreciation to your sister for finally stopping pulling your hair and hiding your toy trains, and treating you like a fellow human (!), or to a girlfriend or wife for always being there for you, we have some great starting points and ideas in your search for a flawless gift!<br />

<p>Mystical, spiritual and imaginative Pisceans are born after the 21st of February, with their February counterparts, the Aquarians, born until the 20th and being more free-spirited, unique, rebellious and sociable. Piscean women are bound to love the spiritually flavored infinity design of the Pariaba topaz earrings at the beginning of the article. These gorgeous earrings come from the Pandora range, and if your special female has a Pandora charm bracelet, they are an especially good stylistic match. The body of the earrings is sterling silver, but the setting for the Paraiba topazes is 14ct yellow gold, to help highlight the warmer shades within the stone. They are simple enough for everyday wear, but still look great with a little black dress of a night time! They are actually part of a matching set of gorgeous Paraiba topaz jewelry &#8211; you can see the entire set at right, with alternative design hoop earrings, an infinity scrolls necklace, and an infinity ring some of the highlights.</p>
<p>An equally sweet and fitting alternative choice for Piscean girls are the green cubic zirconia and green pearl earrings at right. One of our only pieces of jewelry that features the mossy ocean tones of green in a pearl, these earrings are unusual and artistic. Plus, sea green is a signature color for girls born under Pisces! The hook style fittings make for a free and easy feeling when wearing them, and the price tag will give your pocket a free and easy feeling also! There is a matching charm for Pandora bracelets and necklaces, shown at right.</p>
<p>Where the signature color for Pisces is either sea green or mauve, for Aquarius it is the bright, scintillating tones of electric blue! Check out the <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=21_291">Blue Jewelry Section</a> for some great ideas, and check the blue sapphire, blue topaz, and blue diamond boxes under the Gemstone tab in the product finder box to get blue jewelry that is more &#8216;electric&#8217;! For luxury along with the energy of electric blue, you can&#8217;t go past the unusual blue diamond earrings shown at right. They are certainly simple, but the unconventionality of blue diamonds (as opposed to boring old white ones!) is bound to get your progressive, individual Aquarian girl going. The diamonds are set on luxury 18ct white gold, suitable for all skin types, and have a very decent combined gemstone weight of 1.01ct.</p>
<p>However, you can get that electric feeling from much more budget friendly pieces of jewelry for Aquairans also, like the blue topaz pendant shown at right. The cut of the stone is what stands out about this piece of jewelry &#8211; Aquarians will love the unusual, many-faceted, double-sided brilliant cut of the topaz. The stone has a gemstone weight of 1.00ct, and is set on 9ct white gold for excellent cost effectiveness. You know your Aquarian girl will want a night on the town to show this off, also (yes, even if she is your Mom!), and the price tag on this special piece leaves plenty of wiggle room for things like that.</p>
<p>This next suggestion for Aquarians is another great example of the fact that you don&#8217;t need to break the bank to get something truly unusual, that she&#8217;ll love forever (just like you!). The purple cubic zirconia ring at right is made by Georgini, specialists in party jewelry, and has a beautiful shine and glossy feel under-skin. It measures 20mm wide (a very unusual size for ladies jewelry &#8211; which your Aquarian will be thrilled with!), and is in the color of the birthstone for February, the amethyst.</p>
<p>Purple is a perfect choice for mystical, dreamy Piscean ladies also, although you&#8217;ll be looking at simpler pieces for these spiritual girls. The tanzanite earrings at right are in a Piscean signature color, mauve, and feature sweetly colored 3.25mm tanzanites. The stones are set in 14ct white gold, and the earrings themselves are very well-priced for such large gemstones.</p>
<p>We may have mentioned that Pisceans can be a little dreamy, and sometimes get caught up in their own imaginations … so much so that they forget to call, forget when they are supposed to meet or call you, and forget when it is supposed to be dinner time! A watch is a great idea for these girls, and leaves them no excuse for lateness <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  . The Citizen Limited Edition Alexa watch at right is an excellent choice for Pisceans, with its mystically iridescent mother of pearl dial, set off so well by the unique white leather band. There are 28 hand-set diamonds framing the watch, which also uses Citizen&#8217;s Eco Drive technology to mean that she&#8217;ll never have to remember to replace the batteries. Another excuse for forgetting dinner thwarted!</p>
<p>Of course, if you can&#8217;t possibly decide, you can always ask the experts! We have a combined lifetime of experience helping lost friends and relatives pick perfect presents for their loved ones, and what is not handily gathered in the <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=18_212">Gift Ideas for Women section</a> is available to you through the Live Help link at the right of every screen! Alternatively, you could always ask her what she would prefer … a novel idea <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> . Surveys show that over 60% of women tell their menfolk exactly what to get for their birthdays, so no need to feel bad!</p>
