New Citizen Mens Eco-Drive Watch

We all do it … it’s human nature … and in fact, is to be expected! After we get married, we put less thought into our appearances – guys and girls do it equally. After all, you start to really recognise and internalise the concept that your parents tried so hard to drill into you … “True beauty is on the inside”. However, a little visual assistance can go a long way in helping you see your hubby as more than an opener of apple sauce jars and a warm body to snuggle at night! You can take yourself back to the romance and heat of the early days with some well-chosen and very sexy jewellery gift ideas for husbands – we start you off with some teasers today.

Ruby and diamond earrings

When it comes to ’style personality’, there are two very different and definite camps of people in the world … the traditionalists, and the modernists. There are plenty of people (both women and men!) in the world that are perfectly at home in the clean, unadulterated styles that hark back to the days of our grandparents … and it is this innocent, classical group of guys and girls we’re buying for today! If you know a classically driven guy or girl having a birthday this October, we have the perfect gift ideas for men and gift ideas for women to get you into the classical groove.

New Emporio Armani Mens watch

There are so many fences that have been torn down, towers that have collapsed and old standards that have been challenged in recent decades … and (to me, at least!) it seems that with every old idea that we question the logic of, everybody is a little freer and a little happier. One of those old ideas that is very definitely breaking down is the idea that guys shouldn’t be interested in looking good. Along with the expansion of the male grooming routine out of the bounds of the deodorant can, men’s jewellery is growing immensely in popularity. Women are realising the difference a little accenting and embellishment can make to their ‘other halves’ appearances as well … and jewellery manufacturer’s are certainly responding! Today we check out some of the most modern and inventive designs in men’s jewellery, chosen specifically for October birthday boys.

Zoppini Mop Face Men’s Watch

There will be time, there will be time

To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;

Time for you and time for me,

And time yet for a hundred indecisions,

And for a hundred visions and revisions,

Before the taking of a toast and tea.

TS Eliot’s vision of time was that of an endless ocean … and while his ocean was a little turbulent under the surface, I think most of us wouldn’t mind our time to stretch on a little more like his! All too often it washes over us like a passing sun shower and is then gone. A watch might not actually give your loved one the ‘gift of time’ this October, but will definitely help them be more conscious of each passing minute … they won’t be able to keep their eyes off these gorgeous pieces for long . Today we check out both some men’s watches and ladies’ watches that fit perfectly with October-born guys and girls.

Diamond, black onyx and lapis lazuli cuff links

The traditional (but very stereotypical!) view of guys and girls has always been ‘the brawn’ and ‘the beauty’ … or in some cases, ‘Beauty and the Beast’! Luckily nowadays the lines between the stronger sex and the fairer sex are starting to blur … and us girls can appreciate our boyfriends, husbands, brothers, Dads and friends’ general good looks much more easily. Men’s jewellery is becoming more popular as men in general start to pay more attention to their presentation … so what better time to start building up your man’s collection than his birthday? Today we check out some of the newest, hottest and generally most appropriate men’s jewellery gifts for guys born in August.

Captivating peridot white gold earrings

There’s something magical about classical-style items … grandfather clocks, broderie anglais and bouquets of roses and violets have the power to transport you back to a simpler, quieter and more elegant time. Classical jewellery has the same power; its sleek simplicity means that all those base details and the quality of craftsmanship shines through wonderfully. Hopefully it also transfers some of that elegance and quality to the wearer! If you are searching for a traditional style gift for somebody this August, we’ve scoured the collection for both gent’s jewellery gifts and gentle-women’s jewellery gifts with a classical flavour. Check out these pieces as the perfect starting point for August-born gents and genteel ladies!

Citizen Men’s Diamond Eco-Drive Watch

Let me start by saying that I’d love to hear in the comments from any lady whose husband actually makes definite, specific gift suggestions for his birthday when asked! Husbands are wonderful at balancing out our own ups and downs, mowing lawns, tickling the kids and much more … but when it comes to picking birthday gifts for him, we are usually on our own . There’s an upside to that, though. It means that we get to choose much-appreciated things for him that he’d never ask for, like stylish men’s watches, sleek and contemporary pendants and very smooth cufflinks! Jewellery gifts for husbands are a personal and sentimental idea – today we check out some of our new and classic favourite pieces for husbands born in August.

Delightful peridot white gold pendant

In our grandparent’s time, jewellery was a true luxury. Televisions were a luxury, consumer goods were made to last (sometimes forcibly by their purchasers!), and the wage-to-living expenses ratio just wasn’t what it is today. Nowadays, though, jewellery is much more affordable – even some of the truly luxurious pieces. Many of us are still hung up on the older view of jewellery as an expensive, luxury item … and while this certainly can be true, there are plenty of gorgeous pieces within reach of the average gift giver! Today we check out 10 ultra-affordable jewellery gifts for men and jewellery gifts for women born in August. All are under $125, and alll ship for free!
