Citizen Black Dial Eco-Drive Chronograph Watch

Watches are a wonderful gift for both of the zodiac signs that make up the month of November! Scorpios are intensely emotional people … they form strong bonds and will often be known to be counting the minutes before they can be with you again . 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 . Here we check out the details of our top picks for both men’s watches and ladies’ watches for November birthdays.

Men’s Emporio Armani Watch

Wenger Wenger Commando Racing Team Men’s Swiss Watch

Citizen Eco-Drive Perpetual Calendar Watch

Fossil Charm Bracelet Silver Tone Watch

Citizen Ladies Eco-Drive Titanium Watch

Wenger Moutaineer Swiss Watch

Fossil Black Face, Black Band Watch

Scorpios can be fairly conservative souls – they are intense, very private … 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 … just tell him to resist his instincts, and not go too deep

Sagittarians guys are quite adventurous – 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 ‘weird’!. The blue leather band is croco-embossed for that gorgeous texture without the cruelty – 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.

Scorpios are intense men – 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’ll probably love the packaging just as much as the gift … it is a very cool stainless steel official Wenger gift box.

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 … 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’ll never need to upgrade his battery again!

Scorpio women can be a little traditional and conservative … but that isn’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 – the watch itself is available with a 13cm to 27cm long band, with some price increases in the larger sizes.

Sagittarians are the adventurous ones of the November-born pair of starsigns – 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’s coming down a sheer rock face, or trying to avoid wild bears, she doesn’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.

Wenger are traditionally a men’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’s warranty.

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’t any bells and whistles on this watch – 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’s warranty.

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 men’s watches and ladies’ watches in store. Look at the Eco-Drive models for toughness and convenience, and Fossil for classical yet stylish designs. Time is ticking!

Men’s Mechanical Fossil Watch with DIamond

There are heaps of great things about buying jewelry as a birthday gift – its longevity, the fact that it is so personal, and the fact that you can never have too much … 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’t jewelry-wearers, whether they are men or women. We’ve had some exciting new additions to our watch range this year – check out our watch gift suggestions below for October-born men and women.

Wenger Ranger Military Watch

Citizen Aqualand Promaster Dive Watch

Citizen Gold Tone Men’s Watch

Citizen Eco-Drive Ladies Watch

DKNY Black Fashion Watch

Citizen Diamond Stiletto Eco-Drive Watch

DKNY Crossover Style Two Tone Ladies Watch

Traditionally, there are supposed to be two different types of people born in October – 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 – this watch is actually 100m water resistant, and the band is tough stainless steel.

Libra’s signature color is pink – which you won’t find very often incorporated into men’s jewelry! Wenger make it a modern yet masculine statement, and the durability of the watch shows that its anything but ‘girly’ . 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’s warranty, also.

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 – so if you have a diving or water-sports oriented Scorpio, they’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.

Libran males won’t care about what a watch can do, though … 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!

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’s Eco-Drive technology. You can get it in a men’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 ) – we have a special partnership that allows us to offer some pretty hefty discounts off recommended retail!

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 … apart from New York style and quality! There is a 2 year manufacturer’s warranty on the model, and it ships for free to you, no matter where in the world you are.

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.

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 .

Red Ruby Drop Earrings

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 – if you get someone a gift that they love and use constantly, they’ll be reminded of your love that much more often! This is where jewelry gifts are wonderful – 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 jewelry gifts for men and women for August birthdays.

Amethyst Gemstone Drop Earrings

Cream Apricot Pearl Drop Earrings

Fossil Wood Dial Ladies Watch

Fossil Ladies Gold Watch

Rochet Stainless Steel and Ceramic Bracelet

Citizen Men’s Leather Strap Watch

Hot Diamonds ‘Crest’ Diamond Pendant

Pandora Silver Beads

Pandora Gemstone Beads

Usually when we do these monthly ‘budget-friendly’ 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 … 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 ‘budget’ 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.

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!

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 – these are currently under AU$70!

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’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’s warranty on it.

Virgo women, though, will love the sleek, petite lines of the silver tone Fossil ladies watch at right. This one is currently on special – so while it fits within budget now, you’ll have to be quick … it won’t be so wallet-friendly in three month’s time! It has a simple three hand analog display, and is made entirely of stainless steel. It comes with a two year manufacturer’s warranty, as well as a choice of sizes … Virgos will love having an absolutely perfect fit!

We’ve focused on affordable options for women’s jewelry so far, but men certainly don’t miss out! In fact, just about everything in the men’s range makes it well under budget. The Rochet collection in the men’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’s wrists.

The next men’s piece is one for the Leo lads out there also – 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’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.

I’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.

And we would be absolutely remiss if we didn’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.

These inexpensive gift options are by no means the only ones in store. Check out the hundreds of products under AU$150 in the earring category, the pendant category, and the Pandora pages. 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’ll be there right away to fix you up .

Pearl and Blue Topaz Yellow Gold Earrings

On the whole, progress is wonderful. I love my washing machine, my television, my reverse cycle heater, and I definitely love my computer! But no matter how fond you feel of the trappings of a new era, there is always a little nostalgia that you feel about the fashions and items of times gone by. This is why antique shopping is such a popular Saturday pastime. In honor of that little tingling feeling you (or your loved ones!) get in the pit of your stomach when you see a hand-operated mangle, or an intricately hand-carved piano stool, we are looking at the classical style gifts for men and women that will make someone’s birthday this August.

Amber Stud Earrings

Pandora Loops with White Agate Charm

Pandora Strawberry Charm

Pandora Blue Topaz Flower Ring

White Gold ‘I Love You’ Ring

Men’s ‘Wound’ Diamond Cuff Links

Fossil Men’s Analog Wood Dial Watch

The beautiful blue topaz and pearl earrings at the beginning of the article are the epitome of classical style. They incorporate older style base metals (yellow gold), traditional gemstones (topaz and pearl), and have a sleek, straightforward style that was the hallmark of classical elegance. The pearls are quite large, 10.5mm across, and the brilliant cut blue topaz are 4mm across each. The gold is a durable 14ct blend, and they are quite sizeable earrings, measuring 3.5mm across – suitable for evening wear as well as during the day.

Amber is a stone which is often incorporated in a folksy, natural sort of way into modern style jewelry. However, the simplicity of these amber stud earrings make them classical items through and through. They are a lovely middling size for stud earrings, at 8mm across, and the amber is domed for a nice, soft look. They are on a sterling silver base, and with a nod to the limitations of the past, each earrings will be unique in its own miniscule way. There is no machine processing to remove the gorgeous natural inclusions in the amber that make it individual.

We mentioned that much of classical style is in the choice of materials. There are some gemstones that are only rarely used nowadays, either because of over-mining, or simply because they have fallen out of favor. Agate is one gemstone that is rarely seen nowadays, but that has a lovely dramatic effect in jewelry. This white agate on loops charm is made to fit on a Pandora bracelet. If your friend or loved one doesn’t already have one, this is the perfect excuse to start one for her! Pandora has a huge range of charms and jewelry with an antique-feel oxidized sterling silver base, just like this charm.

The strawberry charm at right is another great example of the antique-feel oxidized sterling silver products that Pandora revels in. The dimples in the strawberry are all oxidized, creating a more definite pattern as well as an old-world feel. The strawberry charm can be found in the sterling silver beads category, one of the most budget-friendly places to start a Pandora bracelet. Takes you back to a time when sweets didn’t come out of a packet, but out of the ground!

Pandora’s signature style includes not only shabby-chic, antique feel items, but also incredibly elegant and traditional style jewelry like the blue topaz flower ring pictured at right. Again, a soft round band, topaz and yellow gold help create a traditional base, and the 14ct metal and sound setting make it a sturdy item that will last forever. Just like they used to make them! Easy coordination is another hallmark of classicism – this ring comes with the option to buy matching stud earrings and a gold flower topaz charm for Pandora bracelets, also.

One of the oldest themes of human existence, and the reason for living for most of us, Love is in the air around birthday times … why not celebrate it?! Women are not the only ones who can have a classical style and tip their dainty hats to the past. The white gold ring at right is a men’s style piece, with a thicker band width of 6mm and a masculine light satin finish. It has ‘I Love You’ engraved on the surface in 9 languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese, German, Portuguese, Arabic and Japanese. While there are not as many options within the white gold range of rings for men, it is definitely a more traditional metal than the stainless steel and titanium rings that abound.

Men’s jewelry is becoming more and more popular, day to day. The range is expanding, and manufacturers are experimenting with different colors and styles. But ‘way back when’, men wore little jewelry – only what was necessary. Men were pretty much limited to wedding rings, cufflinks and a ’snappy’ watch! The ‘Wound’ diamond silver cufflinks at right are a great example of the simple style that most men’s jewelry took back in the day. They come from the Hot Diamonds range of jewelry, an are made of sterling silver inset with four brilliant cut white diamonds, in each end of the bars. They are 22mm long, and the sterling silver has been rhodium plated. So while they’ll never develop that aged, oxidized patina, they’ll always look like they’re fresh off the blacksmith’s forge !

Watches are another very traditional style of jewelry for men. It is actually only quite a recent development that men’s watches have linked metal bands. Many years ago, it was much simpler to use stitched leather bands to create stylish watches like the Fossil one at right. Fossil watches blend a unique bold style with traditionalism. While the wood dial watch is not strictly classical jewelry style, it does lend quite a natural, down-to-earth feel. It comes with a 2 year manufacturer’s warranty, as well as an amazing price tag!

Who said the olden days were gone?! They live on through our jewelry range . If you haven’t yet seen the perfect gift for your loved one, keep browsing in our hand-selected Gift Ideas for Men and Gift Ideas for Women sections to find something just right – look for older style materials, simple designs and a sleek look.

Men’s Fossil Digital-Analog Watch

You know your husband is gorgeous on the inside – 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’s jewelry range has enjoyed some exciting new additions – here are our recommendations for August born husbands.

Citizen Men’s Chronograph Watch – Blue Dial

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 … you call him ‘your old man’! 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’s warranty, so will survive his sweat and splashes! It also ships for free worldwide.

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.

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 – titanium cannot easily be resize, so you’ll need an accurate finger measurement.

Jewelry doesn’t have to be complicated to stand out, or to be dramatic – 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 – 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’s wrists, however. A cubic zirconia adds sparkle to the front of the bracelet, and the ‘Freedom’ spelt out across the front makes a bold, Leo-style statement! Match it up with the ‘Freedom’ pendant pictured just underneath it, also made in stainless steel and measuring 3.5cm long.

Virgos are all about coolness and calm – meaning that mental games are one of the areas in which they excel! Help him celebrate his talents with the domino-style ‘Game Theory’ 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.

You may or may not have bought your husband an engagement ring. If you didn’t, then why not make up that little inequality now? And if you did, well, even males can never have too many diamonds ! The unique men’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!

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’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.

Being on time is incredibly important to Virgos – 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’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’s warranty.

There are a hundred great ways to help your husband look as beautiful on the outside as he is on the inside!

Mystery Men’s Diamond ID Bracelet

If you’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 – jewelry is an excellent birthday gift for both of us. We look at how to celebrate your differences while realizing you similarities … through the beauty of men’s jewelry gifts!

Men’s Citizen Eco-Drive Watch White

Hot Diamonds Silver Cuff Links

Men’s MotoGP Warm Up Suspension Pendant

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’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.

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.

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’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.

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’s jewelry. Opals are one of the few flashes of true color you’ll find – 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 – opal inlay rings are difficult to resize, so you’ll need his size measured accurately by a jeweller.

It is not only color the defines Leo men, but movement and drama. While your husband’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’s warranty from Fossil.

Cancer and Leo men are often seen to be as different as night and day – 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’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’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!

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 – just how he likes it!

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.

Gold and Diamond Hearts Pendant

Being married is supposed to be easy, isn’t it? You’re supposed to be able to nurture a world-class beer belly, not worry about breaking wind, and safely be able to send her shopping with her girlfriends instead of doing the terrible duty yourself. But then birthday time rolls around, you need to choose a present, and you realize that it isn’t so easy after all! Well, we’re here to help. We’ve got July birthday gift ideas for both loving yet fierce Cancerian women, and dramatic and colorful Leos – check them out below!

Cancerian ladies wear their hearts on their sleeves, as you might know if you’re married to one! These emotionally driven women are unusually strong and determined, as well as having a conservative personality that is at time shy, and at other times drawn to the limelight. However, the diamond hearts necklace at the beginning of the article is the perfect way to indulge her penchant for things romantic. It also includes one heart studded all the way around with white diamonds – white is the signature color for Cancer. The necklace is also quite reasonably priced, with lay-by options available.

Leo ladies, on the other hand, are dramatic, colorful, passionate, fun-loving and sociable. At times, it can be like living with a ticking time bomb filled with rainbow, chattering, laughing explosive! A vibrant, unmistakable orange is their signature color, and the heart citrine earrings at right capture that vibrancy beautifully. The earrings themselves are extremely affordable, as most citrine jewelry is, despite quite large gemstones. The citrines are 6mm heart cut stones, and are prong set in 9ct white gold (suitable for all skin types). They also feature free shipping across Australia!

While the heart is Leo’s ruling organ, it is also the most important body part to Cancerian women. Life without romance is an empty life to Cancers – so we chose ‘The Touch’ twin hearts pendant by Hot Diamond for Cancerian ladies. If you have children, no doubt she feels just as strongly about them as she does about you (although in a different way, certainly!), and the pendant is a sweet celebration of motherly love. It measures 3.5cm and features a genuine white 0.02ct diamond. The sterling silver base has been rhodium plated, making it suitable for all skin types and helping preserve shine.

Pendants are also an excellent birthday gift option for Leo wives. They love hitting the town, so anything that will go with a neat little black dress is a perfect gift! The leaf design pendant at right is bold and dramatic, just like her, and easy to coordinate. The pendant itself is made of stainless steel, with PVD coating for the leaf design. The 46cm black silk cord is included with the pendant, and shipping across Australia is free, so there are absolutely no hidden costs with this one – what you see is what you get!

We mentioned that Leo’s signature color is orange, and while the color of amber is not quite so vibrant as citrines, it does have a certain folksy element that Leos love. The necklace is a long, dramatic 59cm in length, and so has a gorgeous heavy 23gm weight. On some women it can even be wrapped round twice to wear as a double choker.

Cancerian wives can never have too many pendants (remember that when you’re thinking next year about how difficult the gift search is!). They’ll love the Georgini brand filigree cubic zirconia necklace at right. The cubic zirconias allow for full incorporation of their signature color, white, without the enormous expense that this many diamonds would create! The cubic zirconias are set on affordable sterling silver, rhodium plated to help preserve shine and make it suitable for all skin types. The chain measures 45cm, and is included with the pendant.

The ‘Kiss’ bangle at right is part of the Hot Diamonds range, who weave love and romance so skillfully into their jewelry pieces! Cancerian ladies will love the silver bangle, a dainty 7cm across (make sure her hand will fit! It can be resized smaller, but not too much larger), and set with ten brilliant cut white diamonds with a combined weight of 0.05ct. The base metal is sterling silver with rhodium plating, and this product also ships for free!

Earrings are often the gift of choice for Leo ladies – they are always on display, frame the face beautifully, and come in a huge variety of colors and styles. The gemstones in the opal drop earrings at right are full of the same fire that your Leo wife is! They feature solid Australian opals in blue and green shades – although please note that due to natural variation in the stones, the picture may not match the product exactly. They are a dainty drop, made for both everyday and evening wear, at only 2cm long. The opals are set on lovely quality 14ct white gold.

Cancerian ladies delight in earrings as much as their July birth-mates do – but you’ll be looking at smaller, more compact or sleeker styles for them. The Pandora diamond matrix earrings at right are perfect, sitting over the lobe but not fading away into insignificance, at 7.5mm wide. The gold is a nice durable 14ct, and the diamonds are two genuine white diamonds each weighing 0.01ct. There is also plenty of matching jewelry available, pictured below the earrings themselves.

As well as being defined by their emotionality, Cancerian women also have a noticeable contrast within their personality. At times they are shy, but they are strong and determined when required. They are quite conservative, but also drawn to the limelight. The Fossil watch at right expresses that duality beautifully, made of all stainless steel but with a half black, half gold tone. The watch is 50m water resistant, so will withstand the occasional playful water fight, but is not suitable for swimming. It comes with a two year manufacturer’s warranty also.

While the Cancerian watch does have a certain drama that would appeal to Leos also, we especially love the big, bold styling of the DKNY crystal logo watch at right for the lion-ladies of the zodiac! The lovely wide band is guaranteed to be noticed, and the black crystal logo is both dramatic and easy to coordinate. The unusual design has no numbers on the face. It comes with a two year manufacturer’s warranty, and ships for free across Australia!

So there you go – another hard, gut-busting, strenuous relationship task taken care of! But what is life without a challenge?! Keep browsing, especially in our hand-selected gift ideas for wives section, to find just the right birthday gift for your wife this July.

Fossil Rose Tone Crystal Watch

Just about everybody would have heard their mother complaining, many many times, like a broken record (!), that they don’t have enough time! It’s a common ailment which seems to develop as soon as the first gestation period ends.

If your mother was anything like mine, that ‘lack of time’ also made her, and you, late to everything you went to!

So while even the sexiest and most stylish watches won’t actually get your mother more time, these Mother’s Day gifts can perhaps at least encourage them to get where they are supposed to be with some semblance of punctuality! Here we give you our top watch picks for Mother’s Day.

DKNY Crystal Logo Watch

DKNY Gold Crossover Oversized Numerals Watch

Micheal Kors Black Leather Cuff Watch

Citizen Ladies Leather Strap Watch

Citizen Ladies Silver/Mother of Pearl Watch

It is a happy coincidence this year that Mother’s Day has seen the release of quite a few new watch styles, along with a new clothing and weather season in the Northern Hemisphere. Fossil, DKNY and Michael Kors have all put out new models of watch, and some, like the pink, white and crystal Fossil watch at the beginning of the article, look set to be some of our most popular items. The watch at the beginning of the article has a beautiful crisp femininity. It has a white croco-embossed leather strap and crystals in both the face and crown. It is water resistant to 50m (suitable for accidental splashes), and is a quartz movement watch with a 2 year manufacturers warranty.

For ever after those traumatic years when their children are young (that’s you and I, miniature terrorists that we were!), Mums always look for clothes and accessories that are a blend of comfort and fashion. That willingness to sacrifice her feet, back and skin for fashion thankfully fades after having kids- but it does make it especially exciting to find something that both looks great and is comfy!

DKNY watches are a great choice for comfort oriented Mums, with a huge range of watch sizes available for just about every design, from 13cm to 27cm. This crystal logo watch has a wide comfort band, and is versatile enough to wear with just about anything. It also comes with a two year manufacturer’s warranty.

The new crossover, oversized numeral style of DKNY watch has been selling like ice-cream at the beach. There are several colour schemes, with the gold on gold pictured, and it is very much of the moment. Again, these come in a huge range of sizes and with a two year manufacturer’s warranty, and are water resistant to 30m.

Micheal Kors loves incorporating natural style materials into his watches, with the tortoiseshell range garnering a dedicated following … yes, watches have followings now! The new season collection features plenty of leather, which is again good for blending comfort and fashion. This simple, professional, corporate style watch comes with a two year manufacturer’s warranty, and also features free shipping!

While Citizen usually focuses on the shining, sleek all-gold or all-silver designs, this humble caramel leather piece has actually been one of their most loved products – perhaps because it is so different. This is a great everyday watch for your Mum this Mother’s Day – slim, comfortable, easy to match, down to earth … just like the lady herself! It has Eco-Drive technology, so there is no need to change batteries, and a hard wearing stainless steel case.

But we couldn’t get through the Citizen range without featuring part of what they do best – luminescent shine and slick sparkle. The silver watch at right has a classy mother of pearl face and a very attractive price tag! This model watch is made of stainless steel and is water resistant, and comes with a 3 year Citizen manufacturer’s warranty.

Of course, all of these gifts will be much more appreciated if they come with an actual gift of time also! Cook her dinner and do the dishes and she’ll love you forever. Aw, who are we kidding … she’d do that anyway! Keep browsing in ladies watches for more great Mother’s Day gift ideas.

Fossil Men’s Combination Analog/Digital Leather Strap Watch

Do you think that your husband could do with reading the ‘hot’ and ‘not’ lists every once in a while … or at least getting rid of the flannel shirt/tracksuit pants/faded tshirt that he wore throughout college and not looks like a mouse’s nest?! You wouldn’t be the only one … but then, you wouldn’t be the only one to be wrong! There really isn’t much point sending your husband into a stark room with some fashion magazines, and you’ll understand this if you imagine his interpretation of ‘chic, understated grays’, or ‘bursts of lively color’. Much better that you do the wardrobe coordination! There is one thing that never goes out of fashion (but it is still a better idea for you to buy ), and that is jewelry. If you’ve stumbled upon this excellent idea for an April born husband’s birthday, do we have some tips for you!

Fossil chronograph men’s watch – CH2527 – Black Dial

Men’s Stylish Heavy Bracelet

Men’s Extra Heavy Hot Diamonds NEcklace

Inori Mirror Snowflake Pendant

Labyrinth range from Inori

Blue Concave Titanium Ring

Black 8mm Titanium Ring

The Fossil Combination Analog/Digital watch at the beginning of the article is a great choice for Taurean husbands – these ‘bulls’ of men are often actually quite solid, dependable, earthy and artistic. If yours is typical, he’ll love the deep, rich browns, the natural leather strap, and most of all the unique combination of analog and digital displays – simply for the artistic value. This Fossil watch comes with a standard 2 year manufacturer’s warranty, and a special free shipping (!), and is also splash resistant. It has a classy buckle clasp, rather than the push buttons that have become popular, and the strap is available in all different sizes, if you have a ‘bull’ of a husband physically, as well as figuratively!
If your husband is born in the first half of the month, though (until the 19th), he is an Arian. These guys are fiery, passionate, bold and energetic. Fossil fashion watches also have options for them – the black watch with unique yellow face is a great Arian choice. The warm glow of the yellow dial combines with the strength and boldness of pure black, large digit design. This watch has many of the same features as the combination display one – 2 year warranty, buckle clasp, splash resistant, and stainless steel bezel, crown and case. But it is completely different in personality!
We mentioned that Arian guys are bold and adventurous – and they love this quality in their jewelry, also! Slim, sleek lines and faint tracings won’t do it for these extroverts – bold, chunky and strong is the only way to go. The heavy-style bracelet shown at right is a great choice for them. It is made of durable stainless steel, so you don’t have to worry about him denting his jewelry. He could wear this rock climbing and not damage it! (If it wasn’t a safety hazard … ). It is 19.5cm in length, and features free shipping.
There are actually a few extra heavy items, and if you’re looking for something a little more dressy for your Arian husband, Hot Diamonds has the solution. The extra heavy style necklace at right is by Hot Diamonds, and at 100g in weight, it has a definite strength and solidity about it! It has a modern bar and ring fitting, rather than a traditional clasp (which would have to be quite large to support this necklace!), and the bar has two genuine white diamonds set in either end for a bit of glam on your gorgeous guy!
But for Taurean husbands, you’ll be looking for something that is quite different and artistic – still strong and solid, but incorporates those subtle great ideas that make for best sellers. Inori has some great solutions, like the mirror snowflake pendant shown above. These mirror pendants also come with palm leaves, butterflies and American Indians on them, and you can see all of them in the complete Inori range. Some descriptions specify that they are ladies pendants, in reality nearly all items within the Inori range are unisex. The snowflake mirror pendant is stainless steel (strong and dependable!), measures 2.3cm in length and swivels on its axis to create a full snowflake.
Alternatively, for Taureans, you could go for something from the Labyrinth range by Inori. The design of these rings, bracelets and pendants is sweet and subtly different – but the best feature is that every single one of them has space for an engraved message from you! So you can make your own artistry in the jewelry. “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate …” . These are made of stainless steel, as always with Inori – we highly recommend the bracelet for Taureans, as bracelets are more unusual among men’s jewelry currently. The bracelet is 23cm long, and can be clipped shorter if necessary.
If Arian men are strong and tough, and like their jewelry to express that, there is no better area to search for gifts in than the titanium ring section! These are made of the same material that spaceships are built with, and despite being the hardest known metal in the world, it is actually very light. Titanium is hypoallergenic, so if your husband’s skin is the only part of him that’s sensitive (bless his bold soul!), titanium is still suitable. There are plenty of subtle, faint designs incorporating titanium with silver or white gold contrasts, but your bold Arian will enjoy something like the concave blue titanium ring pictured at right, with the widest 8mm band, and bold coloring. There is also a great selection of very dramatic black titanium rings he’ll love – the 8mm size is pictured at right also.

There are plenty of gift ideas for husbands in store – either check out our special selections, or keep browsing among the titanium rings, or the Inori collection. If you need any help with anything, we’re just on the other side of the Live Help window, sitting inside your monitor and awaiting questions!

Fossil Men’s Analog Wood Watch

Men’s jewelry has come along in leaps and bounds in the last decade or so. Now no longer the sole domain of pirates with a solid gold earring (arrrr!), there is a wider, more stylish, dramatic and sexy range of men’s jewelry than there ever has been. Gilletts has been trying to pioneer in this area, and we’ve added quite a few new ranges and products to our men’s catalogue lately. If you’re looking for a birthday gift for a man worthy of adornment this April, we certainly have some ideas for you!

Men’s Wide Stainless Steel Bangle

Men’s Stainless STeel Cuff Bangle

Citizen Eco-Drive Gents Watch

Citizen Men’s Chronograph Watch

Your April born guy will fall into one of two zodiac signs that rule in April – these are often immeasurably handy and scarily accurate predictors of what will or won’t turn him on. Aries guys are born between the first and 19^th of the month, and are energetic, passionate, fiery and bold. They’ll like jewelry that reflects that, with bold, warm accents and strong styling. Taurus guys are dependable, down to earth creatures, often very earthy, and quite artistic and musically minded. We love the wood face Fossil watch at the beginning of the article for Taurean guys. It has earthy colors, natural materials, and all the modern conveniences. The watch is splash resistant, and features quartz movement and a stainless steel bezel, crown and case for durability. It comes with a 2 year manufacturer’s warranty also, and we’ve thrown in free shipping!

There is more than one way to interpret groundedness – we also love the screw style pendant by Inori for Taureans, because there is nothing more dependable and stable than something that is screwed down! It is quite an unusual design, which is also likely appeal to that Taurean sense of artistry. It is made of stainless steel, with black accents, and its chunky design will suit these bullish guys! It is at the higher end of the Inori range, but still extremely affordable – especially when you factor in free shipping .

Inori has quite a few personalities … from the unusual and dramatic, to the downright cheeky! The Adam pendant at right is one of the latter, and is perfect for passionate, sexy Arian guys this April. It measures a nice middling 3.8cm, and is made completely of stainless steel. Even energetic, on the go Arian guys will find this one difficult to scratch! There is a matching pendant within the Inori range for women – it may be called ‘Eve’, but the little devil horns on this one make her a lot naughtier than that paragon. You may want to just ‘let him know’ about it, for future reference .

We mentioned that Arian guys will love anything that is bold, strong and conspicuous – and the wide stainless steel bangle at right is an excellent choice. It is a striking 3cm wide (go on, get your ruler out … big, hey?!) and 6cm across, and features a lovely textured finish on the front. The inside is polished, for comfort, and the open edge design makes this a one-size fits all piece of jewelry. You may want to get him to keep it for special occasions, though – energetic Arians may find it falling off at inopportune moments while mountain climbing, or bungee jumping .

Taurean guys are usually extremely punctual, so a working watch is essential for them. You can never have too many watches, and this Citizen one combines quality, timeless styling with all the latest technology. It doesn’t necessarily have all of the bells and whistles on the dial, but it includes features like Eco-Drive technology, which means that he need never change a battery again! A great feature for money-minded Taureans. It has a stop watch and calendar function, is splash resistant and uses non-reflective crystal on the face.

Then again, Arian guys are usually running around to so many different appointments that they could use a new watch this birthday, also! Citizen makes watches tough enough for on-the-go Arian guys – we picked the blue dial, two tone band because of the striking bold colors and large face, which altogether make for a strong design. The watch is 100m water resistant, so is suitable for swimming and snorkeling as well as the accidental; splashes that Arians will manage to encounter! It comes with a three year manufacturer’s warranty, as well as free shipping. Can’t go wrong .
