Pandora Leather Lariat

Pandora Yellow Flowers on Balck Murano Glass bead

Pandora Yellow Enamel Jigsaw Charm

Pandora Pearl and Lavender CZ Earrings

Pandora Pearl/Lavender CZ Matching Jewelry

Pearl Heart Necklace

If she’s born on or before June 20th, your girlfriend is a Gemini. Sociable, mercurial, whimsical and mentally active, Gemini girls love uniqueness and being dynamic. Girlfriends born on or after the 21st are Cancers – quite the opposite of their month mates the Geminis! Shy and retiring rather than sociable, Cancer girlfriends will appreciate a night in with you and the family much more than a pub crawl. Cancer girls have quite a conservative demeanor, but do long for something magical in their lives.

Michael Kors does some very different designs – and that alone will be enough to get your Gemini girlfriend excited. However, the most important thing about the watch at the beginning of the article to Geminis is the fact that the bezels can be changed, creating three different watches from one. She’ll love the dynamic nature of the piece, as well as the fact that it will match just about everything in her wardrobe! There is a tortoiseshell, horn and grain set crystal bezels, and the watch itself is made from durable stainless steel, It also comes with a two year manufacturer’s warranty.

The Citizen Elektra watch to the right also has the same great interchangeable bezels, yet the subtle sparkling tones ensure that Cancerian girls as well as Gemini honeys love it! The dial is mother of pearl, so while not strictly within the birthstone guidelines for the month, it definitely captures the shimmering class of the ocean’s finest. The watch features Citizen’s Eco-Drive technology, so she’ll never have to change another battery in her life. On top of all of this class and choice, there is a substantial discount on this piece, due to our special relationship with Citizen. Check it out for yourself!

Citizen has actually been quite busy this month, with another new style out for the iconic watch brand. The subtle tones and innate strength of the ceramic pink and stainless steel watch at right will suit your inwardly strong yet retiring Cancerian girlfriend down to the ground. The dial again has mother of pearl accents, and the watch has a date function as well as Eco-Drive technology. It is water resistant to 100m, so can be worn swimming or snorkeling, and comes with a generous three year manufacturer warranty.

Pandora recently released a range of charm bases that allow so much more flexibility and freedom than their traditional standard bracelets and necklaces. The leather lariat pictured at right is a great choice for Gemini girls, who can not only choose what charms they want to put on it, but also their own individual way for tying it up. These girls love a challenge, and the lariat certainly provides one – finding all the different knot combinations possible within the length of the lariat will take them a while!

The lariat pictured is a black one with silver ends, and is 100cm in length. Gold ended lariats as well as brown leather ones are also available – but for this one as a Gemini gift, trying teaming up the black and silver with a dramatic, striking charm like the black and yellow Murano glass flower charm at right. Yellow is one of Gemini’s signature colors, and the black background is quite unlike any of the other charms in the category.

While the yellow jigsaw piece at right doesn’t quite match with the lariat style necklace or bracelet, it is far too perfect for Gemini girls not to mention! It is a newer piece, released only a couple of months ago, and the bright happy yellow enamel as well as the mental challenge signified by the jigsaw is the perfect fit for Geminis. Enamel charms are close to the bottom end of Pandora’s price scale – these are quite a budget friendly gift.

Pearls are the birthstone for June, and of the two starsigns that the month contains, Cancer girls and pearls are the best of friends. Cancer’s signature color is white, and the subtle shimmer that pearls have is the perfect companion to the timid, restrained Cancer girl. The Pandora pearl and lavender CZ earrings at right have the faintest purple tinge, brought out by the lavender cubic zirconias in the flower design at the top. They are set on sterling silver with just a tiny hint of 14ct yellow gold, and there are plenty of matching pieces. You’ll have birthday and Christmas gifts to keep you out of trouble for quite a while, with the ring, charm and matching earrings at right!

Cancerian girls are quite emotional … and while this can sometimes be a bit overwhelming, it is really an endearing quality. Yes, truly! Can you think of anyone that has loved you as deeply and passionately as your Cancerian girlfriend … other than your Mom? That’s right … so treasure it. The sweetness and elegance of bridal jewelry is a great way to nurture her loving nature … even if marriage seems quite a faraway idea right now. The bridal necklace at right includes the June birthstone, and has a lovely simple, graceful and emotional layered look. It is only 40cm long, so will sit high enough to be shown off day after day!

If you haven’t seen something that you know your girlfriend will be entranced by yet, don’t worry – it is probably just around the corner.

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.

Pandora Diamond Flower Earrings

Speaking as a woman, I think women are great . Men are great too! But if you’re searching for a birthday gift for a female loved one this April, it is the former point that you need to keep in mind . Loving and understanding, smelling like flowers, and most importantly, great at massages, the women you love have something else to recommend them … they all think you are worth knowing! If you’d like to show your appreciation for the soft and sweet in your life this April, whether that comes in the form of a Mom, a sister, a cousin, a girlfriend, wife, or just a buddy, we have some great tips for Gift Ideas for Women for you.

Hailstone Pure Hot Diamonds Bangle

Multi coloured sapphire and diamond drop earrings

Citizen Eco-Drive Perpetual Calendar World Time Rose Gold Watch

Michael Kors Tortoiseshell Watch

Royal Douton Jade Devotion bracelet

Elegant Diamond Bangle

Amber Dangle Earrings

Unique amber necklace

April born women will either be born under Aries or Taurus – 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’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 – the yellow gold is a warm, fiery metal, while the diamonds are one of the hardest substances known to man … apart from an Aries girl’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.

However, it is not only yellow gold items that suit bold Arian babes – the Hailstone ‘Pure’ Hot Diamonds bangle at right is a great choice for Arian girls. It’s wide, strong design is complemented by a ‘hail’ of 14 genuine 0.01ct white diamonds at one end. The bracelet itself is a world of contrasts – 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.

For Taurean girls, a sense of artistry and a feeling of uniqueness are important – 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 – 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.

Taurean girls are just as much into jewelry that feels strong and bold as Arians are – but more because they love the feeling of dependability that they convey themselves. The Citizen rose gold watch at right is a perfect example – 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.

Watches are also a great gift for Arian girls – 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’s warranty … and free shipping!

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’ll see that the edges of the links also have a certain sparkle – that comes from the 66 white diamonds that are inlaid around the bracelet’s surface. A beautiful, east-meets-west, exotic yet traditional bracelet.

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’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 – it would be like your handbag falling off without noticing! Top quality, and very special.

Diamonds aren’t the only gemstones that your Arian girl will become besotted with – 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.

We’ve given you plenty of ideas for April born gifts for women … but in reality, there are hundreds of different personalities, each with their own taste in jewelry. So if you haven’t seen the perfect gift here, keep browsing in the Gift Ideas for Her section, check out the gemstone jewelry section for amber and diamond pieces, or keep looking through Michael Kors’ watch collection for the stars. Good luck, and happy gift-giving!

Moonlit Hot Diamonds Earrings

Valentine’s Day is a great time for you to rekindle that feeling from when you first met your wife – those heady days of nothing but romance and togetherness … massages and walks on the beach, untainted by thoughts of kids to get back to or sinks full of dirty dishes! If you are lost for gift ideas for your wife this Valentine’s Day, we have some great thematic ones, as well as some old favorites, for the traditionalists. Read on for some glowing inspiration!

Alpha Ladies Titanium Ring

Me to You Tatty Teddy Star bracelet

Me to You Tatty Teddy Heart Bracelet

Heart Amethyst White Gold Huggie Earrings

Michael Kors Rose Tone Watch

Heart Diamond Earrings

This is the International Year of Astronomy, so we have chosen a few gifts to represent the vastness and mystery of space, the way it always pops up with a sparkling gem of wonder out of a wide expanse of blackness … like marriage, in a way! The ‘Moonlit’ earrings pictured at the beginning of the article are a wonderful way to celebrate the fact that she exhibitis the same pull over you that the moon does on the ocean (aww!). They belong ot the Hot Diamonds range of jewelry, and are made of the sterling silver that is the range’s signature metal, along with the tiny brilliant cut genuine white diamonds that go so well with it. The love hearts dance against a full-moon background of sterling silver, which is rhodium plated to both prevent tarnishing and enhance shine. They are made for pierced ears, with nice free-feeling hook style fittings.

The titanium rings section has heaps of awesome space-age inspired gifts for men … however you’ll have to sift a little longer to find the stunning ladies gifts that are in there also! The ‘Alpha’ titanoium ring pictured at right is one of these. Made in a ladies’ size width, at 3mm, the name of the ring represents the brightest star in a constellation … or the brightest star in your life, of course . The titanium base is accented with 14ct yellow gold, which is beautiful quality and almost as wear-resistant as the titanium itself (which is used to build spaceships!). Unlike many titanium rings, there are few personalization options with this piece – but that will pale into insignificance once she sees the heartfelt message you can engrave for free inside the band! Make sure you measure her finger size accurately though – perhaps ask if another ring still fits her well, and take that to your local jeweller’s to be sized, if you’d like to keep the gift a surprise. Some finger sizes need to be manufactured, and titanium is tough and doesn’t give in to resizing easily. Perhaps like somebody you know … ?!

If you are looking for something a little more budget friendly, but just as sweet for Valentine’s Day, the Tatty Teddy range has some beautifully feminine choices. If you want to run with the bright, shining star theme (it is very sweet, after all!), choose the double star bracelet. It is made of sterling silver, with one open style star and one with an engraved Tatty Teddy, with his sweetly shy features and a blue cubic zirconia for a bit of sparkle. The length is 17cm, and even if your lady has very daintily sized wrists, the length will be suitable.

The Tatty Teddy range also includes some more traditional style Valentine’s gifts, like the red heart bracelet pictured at right. You can get these very sweet bracelets in either the synthetic-ruby encrusted style pictured, or with single rubies, or with several hearts with blue cubic zirconias. All are feminine and gorgeous, as well as very budget friendly. They are made of sterling silver, and Tatty Teddy makes his mandatory appearance on each of them, snuggling his own shoulder with a sweet smile … chicks love that stuff . They range in size from 17cm to 19cm, so you can match your wife’s wrist size well. If she has smaller than average wrists, many of the designs can be wrapped before the attachment is put in, to shorten them slightly.

Valentine’s Day is a holiday of the heart … not of a dead President, or something as abstract as a country … why not celebrate that fact?! The heart cut amethyst huggie earrings at right have a beautiful Valentine’s flavor, and add color and sparkle to most outfits, while still being easily matched. They are especially good if your wife’s birthday is in February also – the amethyst is the birthstone for February. The white gold is budget friendly 9ct, and because amethysts are a fairly inexpensive stone, you can indulge with larger 5mm gems. This style of earring hugs her ears … let them stand in when you can’t be hugging her yourself!

But Valentine’s gifts don’t have to be overly soppy – the Michael Kors Rose Tone watch pictured is warm and lovable, yet a practical gift. The metal intertwined link design is reminiscent of a couple snuggled up on the couch … probably where she would much rather be for most of the day! The rose band is warm and easily coordinated, but is actually made of stainless steel for durability. The watch comes with a 2 year manufacturer’s warranty also.

And for a gorgeous modern Valentine’s gift, the heart diamond earrings at right are a great choice. They are made of sterling silver, with a half-polished, half satin finish for a textured and contemporary look. They each have a brilliant cut white diamond set in the centre, and the metal has been rhodium plated, to help enhance the shine of the sterling silver. They are sweetly petite, and will not extend past the edge of her neat little earlobes in most cases! Perfect for everyday wear.

So before your box of chocolates is rationed out over the next month, or your flowers are squealed at but then have to be thrown in the bin, or you get the wrong size lingerie (to much reproach!), have a browse through the rest of our gift ideas, either in the Gift Ideas for Wives section, or the Valentine’s Day gift ideas section.

Red Pearl Flower Pandora Earrings

Wives are a vital part of the world (although of course, they wouldn’t be wives without a husband there by their sides ) … kicking you out of bed in the morning, giving you a reason to get out of bed on the weekend and go tinker in the garage, and occasionally bringing you a beer and a sandwich. All the essentials of life! They also have a tendency to do more of the sandwich-and-beer-bringing, and slightly less kicking out of bed, when they’ve been treated with a gorgeous birthday gift ! If your wife has a birthday coming up this February, we’ve got a guiding light through that dark maze of presents, with kettles, bowling balls and aprons lurking in the corners, and perhaps some treasure at the end of the tunnel!

Pandora Flower Design Ring

Golden Canary Pearl Earrings

Citizen Swarovski Crystal Watch

Micheal Kors ‘Stitch’ Stainless Stainless Steel Watch

Michael Kors Brickwork Crystal Watch

Aquamarine Yellow Gold Pendant

Large Amethyst Earrings

If your wife has a February birthday, she will either be a rebellious, unconventional, different-just-because Aquarian (born from the 1st to the 20th), or an artistic, spiritual and mystical Piscean (born from the 21st onwards). The red pearl earrings shown at the beginning of the article are perfect for Aquarians, with their unusual choice of gemstone, both in its color and shaping. The style is quite classical, though – a refreshing counterpoint to the very modern feature gem! The red pearls are set on 14ct yellow gold, and the earrings are made with hook style fittings for a freer feeling; something that all Aquarians will appreciate.

There are also plenty of other matching jewelry pieces for these earrings to be found in the Pandora range. Some are sweet but quite standard, but your unconventional Aquarian should love the flower design ring shown at right. This should remind Aquarians of the beauty of nature, making a nymph-like goddess of your flower-encrusted Mrs! Much more exciting than an apron, surely

Actually, pearls offer plenty of opportunity for individuality, as traditional as they can sometimes seem. There is no doubt that the golden canary earrings at right are stunningly individual – yet they are also super-simple and very wallet-friendly! Currently these are less than the price of a meal at a decent restaurant, and guaranteed to thrill. They are a large 8.5mm size, and set on sterling silver for cost-effectiveness.

If you have a dreamy Piscean wife on the other hand, you probably often have to pull her out of a daydream simply to get HER to eat … let alone bring you something ! The Citizen Swarovski Crystal Watch at right will not only help her keep track of when it is time for important things (like work, breakfast and dinner dates) but has a gorgeous mother-of-pearl face that makes it look like the mystical moon itself, something that Pisceans identify with. The watch actually has three interchangeable bezels, so she can look the exact way she feels on any given day, and has the convenience of a push button buckle and Citizen’s Eco-Drive technology, which means that neither batteries nor winding are needed.

Your Aquarian wife will be in just as much need of a watch – but for different reasons! These unconventional women are friendly and relationship-oriented, and will have dates to keep with friends, workmates and family. They’ll also want something that really stands out from the crowd, and Michael Kors takes care of this area of watch style nicely! Try the ‘Stitch’ style Ladies stainless steel watch by Michael Kors, looking like the band panels have been neatly sewn together with stainless steel thread! It has a simple two hand display, and quartz movement for pinpoint accuracy … as long as she remembers to look at it! Or for something with a bit more color, the crystal-layered brickwork watch is made from faux tortoiseshell, and also features quartz movement and a two year manufacturer’s warranty.

For Pisceans born in February, while aquamarine is not technically their birthstone, it is a gem strongly associated with the light, ethereal dreaminess of Pisces in general! This aquamarine pendant has a lovely nurturing attachment, with the yellow gold cradling the 1.15ct aquamarine gently in its folded arms … aww! The pendant is sold as a stand alone item, so you can choose to give whatever chain you think will suit it best – or give it as an interchange pendant for an existing chain.

The aquamarine pendant is so budget-friendly, that you might even want to give a secondary gift … I’m sure your wife wouldn’t quibble! Amethyst is the birthstone for February, for both Aquarians and Pisceans, and these deep and mysterious amethyst earrings are a great choice for Pisceans. The stones are impressive 6mm by 8mm oval cut gems, and are set in white gold, to be suitable for all skin types. In fact, even if you’d like to start saving for Christmas now, they can be put on lay-by for less than the cost of take-away lunch once a week!

And they are only some of the gorgeous, ready-made gift ideas that you’ll find in the Gift Ideas for Wives section, along with a more extensive range of February birthstone jewelry in the amethyst jewelry section – keep browsing now for some great ideas!

Stunning White Opal Pendant

When you’re married, you have the pleasure of waking up and seeing the same relaxed, sleeping face every morning … slobbing around in your slippers and tracksuit pants for all of Sunday … and perhaps having a breakfast in bed cooked occasionally (as long as you return the favor!). No doubt you want to show her how much you appreciate her loving you despite your lack of fashion sense on a Sunday (!), and a great way to do that is with jewelry as a birthday gift! If your main madame has a birthday coming up this October, we have some suggestions to help keep the breakfasts in bed coming thick and fast!

Australian Opal Inlay Earrings

Pink Tourmaline Stud Earrings

Diamond Apples Three Tone Bracelet

Pandora Paraiba Topaz infinity Earrings

Pandora Infinity Paraiba Topaz Ring

Pandora Lemon Quartz Pendant

Pandora Lemon Quartz Ring

Michael Kors Interchangeable Bezel Watch

We have a dedicated Gift Ideas for Wives section on the site, with over 300 different products, carefully picked with the experience that comes with selling jewelry to confused husbands for decades! Here we’ve picked out some October specific presents, like the gorgeous white opal pendant at the beginning of the article. Opal is the birthstone for October, and white opal is one of the rarer and more highly prized specimens – just like the rare and highly prized specimen of female perfection that you hold so dear! This piece is set on 18 carat yellow gold, and the opal is 11mm x 9mm. The pendant is sold as a stand-alone item, so if your wife has a favorite chain at home, or you would just like to pick something a little different for the chain, you have the freedom for that.

The Australian opal inlay earrings at right are created with two different shades of vibrant blue opal, and the inlay set stones make for a smooth, classy feel. They are set on 18 carat yellow gold again, and are made for pierced ears. The huggie-type design is immensely comfortable – don’t let her forget she’s wearing them when she hops into bed!

Opals have a very definite look and quite a dramatic feel, though, and aren’t every girl’s cup of tea. If she is a little more delicate and feminine, tourmaline is the alternative birthstone for the month. These lovely pink stones have quite a rich pink color, which is highlighted well in the unusually shaped Tourmaline earrings pictured. They have a combined weight of 2.10 carats, and are made for pierced ears. The gems are set on white gold, so they are suitable for most sensitive skin types as well as the toughies!

Looking beyond the usual birthstone jewelry though,. you’ll find a rich and wonderful world of jewelry … so rich and so wide that you might feel a little lost! A great way to narrow your search in the gift ideas for wives section is using her starsign for guidance. Libran women are born before the 23rd of October. They are graceful, balanced and charming, while their Scorpio counterparts, born from the 23rd onward, are quite passionate, creative, imaginative and magnetic. The diamond apples bracelet is a great choice for Scorpio girls, with the fun creativity of the apples, and the lovely mixture of rose, yellow and white gold. The bracelet has eleven brilliant cut white diamonds, with a combined weight of .17 carats. You can also layby this product, if oyu love it but don’t want to be attacked for blowing the budget!

The Pandora Paraiba topaz earrings shown have qualities that will make both Libran lasses and Scorpio gals go ‘Ooooh!’. Paraiba topazes have a lovely deep, entrancing teal color, unlike ordinary lighter blue topazes – this passionate color is a great choice for Scorpios. Libra girls will love the balance and grace of the infinity design in the earrings, with its back-and-forth flow and eventual symmetry. These earrings have mates in other Pandora jewelry sections, with a matching bead available, as well as the matching ring, which is pictured below the earrings.

For Libran girls though, the more graceful, delicate colors are more usual. Quartz has some lovely offerings in this department, including the very unique lemon quartz necklace and ring pictured, also made by Pandora. These are also set on sterling silver, the Pandora trademark, which developed that beautiful dark oxidation in the creases, helping patterns and engraved pictures to stand out. You can see this in the tiny scroll design at the top of quartz in the necklace, and to the sides on the ring. While the gemstone is certainly unique, it is not particularly expensive, and you could afford to get two pieces of the matching jewelry for a special birthday girl! While there are no specifically matching Pandora beads, if your wife has a Pandora bracelet, the tone and feel of these pieces looks great with the right colors of charms on the bracelet.

And one last one for Scorpio girls – the Michael Kors watch pictured features interchangeable bezels, so your wife can change her watch as often as she changes her moods … however frequent or not that might be! There is a faux horn resin, a faux tortoiseshell resin, and a crystal bezel. These have a sleek stainless steel band, and are suitable for all skin types, as well as all outfits!

Exotic Sapphire Ring

If you’re lucky, you have a wife that does a lot for you … gives you foot rubs when you’ve had a long day, brings you the occasional breakfast in bed, asks if you’d like a coffee when she’s making one, washes and polishes your car on the weekend instead of going out with her friends … But even if she doesn’t quite match all of these criteria, we know that she’s still pretty special! That’s why you are spending the time looking for the perfect gift for her this September, and why we have put together our suggestions for gorgeous jewelry birthday gifts, tailored just to her perfect self

Tanzanite Huggie Earrings

Gold, Green and Black Butterfly Pendant

A lovely personal way to choose a birthday gift for your wife is using her birthstone … this at least narrows the search down, so that you aren’t blindly stabbing in the dark! For September this is the sapphire, a lovely and very flexible gemstone that comes in many more colors that the deep lush blue that you are used to. You have a couple of options for finding sapphire jewelry for your wife’s birthday; you can either use the gift ideas for wives section, clicking on the gemstone tab and checking the box for sapphire to refine your results to sapphires, or look through our entire range of sapphire jewelry, which will get you more results … but also gives you more to choices to be swamped by!

You will see by the exotic sapphire ring at the beginning of the article that sapphires come in a wide variety of colors. In fact, rubies are chemically identical to sapphires, it is only the presence of impurities such as iron and chromium that determines whether a sapphire will be colored blue, pink, green, orange or yellow … or be colored red, and spend its life as a ruby! The ring at the start of the article features all natural sapphires, in red, yellow and gold, with a centrepiece rare orange sapphire. The band is made of white gold, for a soft, warm feel … sort of like snuggling in bed on a Saturday morning Order ahead for these, as some finger sizes need to be manufactured – but know that because of this, your wife is just about guaranteed to be the only one in the city with a ring like this!

Just below this you’ll see one of the main variants of the blue sapphire – pink sapphires are some of the more commonly found natural stones, and there is a great range of pink sapphire jewelry. This ring features four of the stones, with a combined gemstone weight of .85 carats, set on a yellow gold band. You also have the option of engraving a message inside the band of this gorgeous ring, so if you have something special you’d like to remind your wife of (don’t forget to pick up some Coors on the way home love!), this is a great opportunity to do so.

Underneath the ring you’ll see a lovely example of yellow sapphires, incorporated into a filigree pendant with diamonds. Fifteen yellow sapphires along with three white diamonds are set on white gold, and made with a flower and heart design … for the sweet, girlish and very cute wives out there! You have the freedom to pick whichever chain will suit her best with this pendant, as it is a stand-alone item.

However, if sapphires aren’t her thing, or you are looking for a birthday gift that is a little more budget friendly, checking out her starsign is often a great way to help determine what jewelry will best suit her. If she is born from the 1st to the 22nd of September, she will be a modest, discreet, precise and methodical Virgo. Those born on or after the 23rd are Librans, who are traditionally very balanced, as well as charming and graceful.

For Librans, the Michael Kors rose gold ladies’ watch pictured is a lovely option – with a design that incorporates both freedom, movement and balance, and a distinctive and charming rose gold band, it is perfectly suited to the Libran personality. It features quartz movement for accuracy, and a stainless steel bezel and crown for durability and flexibility. It comes with a 2 year manufacturer’s warranty, and is also available on layby … how can you go wrong?!

You’ll see one of nature’s finest examples of symmetry and balance, as well as grace, charm and beauty underneath the Michael Kors watch, in the butterfly pendant with iridescent purple-black inlays. The pendant is double-sided, with pale versions of the inlay colors on the other side. It can be worn different ways to suit different clothes, and is a bargain price. The colored wings are set in sterling silver for a lovely soft, warm feel; there are actually several different variants of butterfly wing shapes and colors available in the gift ideas for wives section, and one of them is pictured at the bottom of the images.

For delicate and discreet Virgos, pendants are an excellent option, as they can be hidden beneath clothes when necessary, or just to keep your gorgeous gift all to themselves! The filigree heart pendant pictured has a delicate, precise shaping that will appeal to the equally precise Virgo girl. It is made of lovely soft sterling silver, and as it is a stand alone item you can choose whichever chain you think will suit her best.

Lockets are another great choice for modest Virgos – they allow them to ‘lock’ away their treasures and feelings, where they know that they are there, but nobody else can see them. The ocean shell locket pictured is a unique option, very different to the standard round, engraved lockets. It is made from 9ct yellow gold – you only have to make sure there is enough room in it to fit a picture of your smiling face!

If you are looking for earrings for a precise and discreet Virgo, the huggie shape of the tanzanite ones pictured is the epitome of discretion, and also convenience. The shape gives her ears a dainty, shell-like appearance, and also means that they need not be taken off, even for bed, if she is not the sort. The light purple tanzanites are channel set on yellow gold – there is a total of ten stones with a combined weight of .7 carats.

Pearl, Peridot and Iolite Earrings

If your lovely wife will be another year older and another year wiser this August, then you really need to take her mind off that fact!

Citizen Ladies Eco-Drive Watch

However, not all May babies are emerald girls! Another way to personalize your girlfriend’s birthday gift, if you are floundering for ideas, is to do a bit of research on her starsign. May is divided into Taurus and Gemini, with Taurus taking up the first part of the month (until the 21st), and Gemini taking the rest.

Taurean girls are usually down-to-earth, responsible and cautious, and also strong and artistic. But how does this relate to jewelry? Best not to go for extravagant pieces that can only be worn in the evening – they limit the versatile and resourceful Taurean lady. In fact, a chic watch is a great all round gift. They can be worn all day long, and serve dual purposes – highlighting her gorgeous wrists, as well as keeping her on time for your dinner dates! This Citizen Eco-Drive ladies watch is simple enough for the earthy Taurean, yet has a classical richness, at an affordable price.

Opal Drop Pendant

If your girlfriend’s birthday is after the 21st of May, making her a Gemini, you most likely have a lass that is versatile, whimsical, lively and sociable. Evening wear jewelry is a great choice for these girls – always on the go, and with a different party every week, she’ll have plenty of opportunities to show off pieces like this amethyst and topaz heart shaped pendant. With all the sparkle and whimsy that your girlfriend herself has, it should be a perfect complement!

Citizen Gold Tone Men’s Watch

If you are like many, many women out there, the only piece of jewelry you have considered buying for (or with!) your husband is your wedding ring. If he’s like many men, that may be the only piece of jewelry he wears. And that is precisely the thing that makes jewelry such a great birthday gift! Aside from the fact that it’s very personal, it’s long-lasting, it’s useful and it is a gift he is not likely to get from anybody else. So stay at the forefront of his mind, with some of these clever ideas for January birthday gifts for your husband.

If your husband is born in January, he will be either a Capricorn or an Aquarius – January Capricorns are born from the 1st to the 20th, while January Aquarians are born from the 21st to the 31st. Since (God bless them!), it can be so hard to tell what they are thinking, going by your man’s starsign can be a good guide to the style of jewelry you should be looking at. Capricorns are traditionally very conservative, responsible and formal. So you should be looking at classical pieces, that convey a sense of restrained style or wealth. Aquarians are the exact opposite of Capricorns – they love anything unusual, different, or mould-breaking. They like to be like this themselves, often deliberately going against the grain.

If you, or your husband, is the sort of person that just looks naturally awesome all the time, without adornment (we know you all are!), then a watch can the most useful birthday gift. Gillett’s recently added several fashion brands to the range, including Fossil,  so if your hubby is the hot, hip type, you are sure to find something for him in these ranges.

‘His’ watches are usually a great choice for Aquarians – you’ll find weird and wonderful materials here, and styles that are at home on modern catwalks. If you have a Capricorn other half, try the Citizen range of watches – while the form of the Citizen watches is generally more conventional (although that won’t disappoint a Capricorn!), they have a definite focus on technology, and on maintaining the utmost quality in their product.

Of course, if you have something different in mind, our handy men’s gift finder makes it as easy as it possibly can be to find the right gift for your man. You can refine your searches quickly by price, by the number or type of gemstones in a piece, by the brand, by the type of jewelry (pendants, rings, bracelets etc), and even by width and length in some areas. Good luck, and don’t hesitate to contact us for extra advice!
