<p>One of the most common requests we get in regard to jewelry is for something that is &#8216;different to what everyone else has&#8217;. Especially in the noughties, with a growing world population and a focus on eclecticism and uniqueness, people want something that is just their own &#8230; not just something that looks a little different to the norm, but something that really has their own stamp. Luckily, there are quite a few ranges and options in store that cater to the call of the wild &#8230; wild, untrodden jewelry territory, that is!

<p>Men&#8217;s Stainless Steel Pendant for Engraving</p></div>
<p>While all of the products in our personalizable ranges have one thing in common (the gift of choice!), a great way to help you decide where to start is using a strange, but often accurate predictor of personality &#8211; your loved one&#8217;s zodiac sign! Where Libras, born from the 1st to the 23rd of October, are equitable and balanced, graceful and always looking for a willing ear to bash (!), Scorpios are much more private. They are said to be intense personalities, who like a little mysticism and magic in their lives. In fact, Scorpios are more likely to read their starsign every day than all of the other signs -so why not celebrate their Scorpio-ness with the Pandora silver Scorpio bead as a start to their personalized Pandora bracelet? It is among the most budget-friendly of the Pandora charms, but is beautiful quality, and speaks right to the Scorpio heart <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p>While you could certainly just grab the base bracelet, set up some credit for your loved one and tell them to &#8216;go for it&#8217; (!), it is nice to give them some ideas! The amethyst charm at right is another great starting idea for Scorpio bracelet &#8211; the purple amethyst is a traditional symbol of mysticism and spirituality, and this charm utilizes it in a neat and sweet way. The amethyst is held in by 14ct gold prongs, which help bring out the stone&#8217;s warmth, while the main base is sterling silver for good affordability. This will suit either gold or silver base bracelets, and looks beautiful on a red leather Pandora necklace as well!</p>
<p>Libran ladies will also find plenty of ideas within the Pandora pages for gifts that she can personalize to her exact style. She should love the diamond, gold and silver harlequin charm at right, with its even, balanced style, and incorporation of diamonds &#8230; Libran girls love having the finer things in life! There are a total of three genuine white diamonds on the charm, set in 14ct yellow gold to help their sparkle stand out. Again, this is one of those beads that goes beautifully on either a gold or silver bracelet base.</p>
<p>Hot Diamonds is a wonderfully contemporary, chic range, which matches silver and diamonds in a huge range of designs and styles. They also have personalizable bracelets, with a setup that is more recognizable as a traditional charm bracelet. You can also get Hot Diamonds necklaces, and pop several charms on at once, or interchange them depending on how you feel. The ultimate in personalizable jewelry &#8211; one that you can change daily! The necklace is shown at right, and the mobile phone charm beneath is our choice for a starting charm for Librans. These sociable souls can often be found chatting their little teeth off in the phone corner, so this &#8216;hotline to the in crowd&#8217; will suit them perfectly! It is an all-silver charm, and has amazing detail in that tiny face!</p>
<p>For Scorpios, who are immensely private, but still very expressive, we love the &#8216;Love notes&#8217; charm, shown at right. Check it out in the Special Editions section of the bracelet builder &#8211; Scorpios will love the opportunity to mentally jot down their private thoughts, and get them out of their heads, in this journal-style charm <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> . A charm with gorgeous depth and a great design, and a very attractive price tag!</p>
<p>Titanium rings are one of our most exciting products &#8211; there is just so much that can be done with them. There are both men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s options, but the pink sapphire and diamond studded ring shown at right is made for very feminine Libras, who love the finer things in life! Everything that you can see about this ring can be personalized, though &#8211; the color of the titanium, the ring shape, the width, the size, and the number, placement, setting and type of gemstones. You can also add bands of color and different metals to these rings &#8211; when you load the titanium ring designer page you&#8217;ll see plenty of possibilities. Libran girls will love personalizing this design to suit themselves &#8211; with their signature pink on board and a healthy dose of great quality metals and gems, it is right up their alley.</p>
<p>The titanium ring at right with dark metal and a single diamond could quite easily be either a men&#8217;s or women&#8217;s piece of jewelry .. and if you&#8217;re buying a romantic gift, titanium rings are a great way to match your jewelry without compromising either the masculinity or femininity of the piece. For example, you could up the width a little and change the band to a flatter shape, and this would be a striking men&#8217;s ring! We chose this for Scorpio guys or girls, with its intense, dark look, and the inclusion of the most powerful of gemstones for the most powerful of starsigns!</p>
<p>Your other option for creating a truly unique gift is to take something that everybody else has &#8230; and make your unique mark on it, by engraving a message! Some pieces, like the Inori pendant with blue and black accent rings at right, can be engraved on both the front and back. This pendant is a lovely middling size, 3.5cm long, comes with an awesome low price and has the bonus of free worldwide shipping. The first 20 characters of engraving on both the front and back of the pendant are free &#8230; although you might want to minimize the essays if you are buying for a very private Scorpio guy!</p>
<p>The stainless steel pendant below the Inori one is another great option for having engraved. Although this one only has space on the back, it is a more solid style, and comes with the bonus of low price tags in exchange for not having a &#8216;brand name&#8217;. The chain is included, it ships for free across the entire world, gift wrapping is complimentary, and your engraving is free &#8230; it will just about get up and walk off the screen without any effort from you! Almost <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p>Within the half-a-dozen ranges that make up our personalizable jewelry at Gilletts, there are literally millions of possibilities for different combinations and style. Keep browsing in the <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=549">Pandora</a> or <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/hot_diamonds_charms.htm">Hot Diamonds</a> ranges for personalizable bracelets and necklaces, and for men who have a flair for the individual, get them to design their own titanium ring. If you need any help with these sections of the website, help is never far away. We&#8217;re just in behind the little Live Help icon &#8211; feel free to let us out!</p>

<p>Personalized Pandora Bracelets</p></div>
<p>We are firm believers in jewelry as a birthday gift &#8230; and a Christmas gift, Mother&#8217;s Day gift, Easter gift, &#8216;I love you&#8217; gift, &#8216;I&#8217;m sorry&#8217; gift, and general purpose credit builder! But we do often hear people say that they aren&#8217;t sure if jewelry is a little impersonal to give as a gift &#8211; if they shouldn’t get something that is more &#8217;specific&#8217; to the their loved one. Sometimes buying jewelry for someone else can be like buying their clothes &#8211; there are a hundred million factors that go into a decision, and you can&#8217;t cover them all.  That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re here to show you how you can dodge that enormous responsibility (!), and find a jewelry gift that is very &#8217;specific&#8217; to the person you are buying for. Here are our personalized gift picks for September birthdays!<br />

<p>You are probably already familiar with Pandora bracelets &#8211; they have become the market leader in a worldwide resurgence of charm bracelets for big girls as well as little girls! You can see some of the possible designs at the beginning of the article, but if you&#8217;re looking for a gift that can be personalized, less will be more. That way you can give your loved one the gift of choice &#8230; the most thoughtful one of all! Why not start off with a little something from you, though &#8211; the Murano glass beads at right are selected for September born girls. Blue is the signature color of Virgos, those cool, reserved, neat and tidy perfectionsist born from the 1st to 21st of September. Librans are born from the 22nd onwards, and the signature color for these sociable, graceful, best-of-everything souls is pink. They&#8217;ll love the vibrancy of the pink bead with red flowers underneath Virgo&#8217;s blue one.</p>
<p>Virgos are cool and reserved &#8211; they don&#8217;t tend to say too much, and they are also very loyal in love and friendship. The elephant is a perfect symbol for them (if they can get past the fact that these sweet, intelligent animals are usually covered in mud!), which is why we picked the baby elephant charm for Virgo gals. It is from the Pandora sterling silver collection, so is one of the more affordable Pandora charm options. It has been extremely popular since it was introduced only a few months ago!</p>
<p>Librans love to have the best in life &#8211; and Pandora knows just how to give it to them, with intricately molded, top quality charms like the gold Queen Bee at right. Librans are supposed to be quite sociable souls &#8211; and there is nobody that loves a party more than the Queen Bee! The gold base for the charm is 	14ct, and if the price tag frightens you off, you can get just a little of the same luxury for a fraction of the price with the Queen Bee in the Silver and Gold section.</p>
<p>The personalizability of the Pandora range is now applicable to earrings, as well as necklaces and bracelets, with the newly launched range of Mix n Match Earrings. You can either purchase a single pair of hooks, and pop all of your different attachments on there (saving a fair bit of money in the process), or grab several different hooks for all the attachments and &#8230; mix and match! We chose the bubbles hooks for Virgo girls, who are like the ocean &#8211; deep, calm and sometimes unfathomable! They match perfectly with the amazonite attachments at right, with their hues of sunny summer days at the beach and silver bubbles to match! Even with hook and attachment sold separately, you&#8217;ll often find that the Mix n Match earrings are more cost effective than traditional all in one earrings.</p>
<p>Nomination bracelets are the sleeker, ingenious Italian version of the olden-style charm bracelet. They are put together with a novel linking system that makes them both much lighter and more compact that ordinary Pandora bracelets, but just as personalizable. Libran girls will love the gingerbread people link to the right. Being around other people is their lifeblood, so you couldn’t possibly give them a link with just one person on it! The gingerbread people link can be found under the &#8216;Fun&#8217; section of the Gold category on the Nomination bracelet builder, suiting Libra&#8217;s upscale sensibilities!</p>
<p>Alternatively, you could go for something like the yellow cubic zirconia butterfly link at right &#8230; these social butterflies of women are always flitting from one group to another. The cubic zirconia give the link that extra bit of sparkle and life, while the standard silver backing helps keep the price down for you. These can flutter into her heart in a huge variety of colors &#8211; choose from white, red, green, pink, lilac, blue, light blue, yellow, orange and black cubic zirconias. Check out what they look like in the Animals section of the Cubic Zirconia category.</p>
<p>You might already be familiar with the amazing number of things you can do with titanium rings on site at Gilletts &#8211; from choosing the band shape, width, and contrast metals, to personalizing the color of the titanium, adding gemstones, and putting on personal engravings. In fact, all of that choice can seem a little intimidating! If you check through the pre-made titanium rings section, though, you&#8217;ll find many more different styles of ring. Some of them have only a few personalization options (like finish, band style and band width), others have the full gamut of alternatives. The Dora brand ring at right is a great example &#8211; with this ring you can choose whether to use white, yellow or rose gold for the contrast metal (we recommend the cool silver tones of white gold for Virgos, and rose gold for Librans as it includes their signature metal, copper). You can also choose the finish for the center section, and add an engraved message (up to 20 characters) for no extra charge. The Dora brand is usually associated with wedding rings, but this piece is stylish, versatile, and cost effective.</p>
<p>When you personalize a titanium ring from base with our on-site options, you don’t get the choice of having two band styles in one, like you have with the solar red gold and titanium ring at right … but you have just about every other option with this ring! With the red gold edges incorporating Libra&#8217;s signature metal, this is a great choice for scales-born guys or girls. You can choose your ring width, from 3.5 to 9mm, metal type, finish of the metals, any gemstones as well as their setting types. Some of these options even cut down the price of the ring!</p>
<p>There isn&#8217;t the surprise factor with personalized jewelry that there is with gifts you&#8217;ve chosen yourself … but there is the guarantee that the piece will be loved and treasured! Keep browsing in <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=549">the Pandora jewelry pages</a>, <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/gilletts_nomination.php">the Nomination bracelet builder</a>, and among <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=3_137">the titanium rings</a> to get more ideas for a personalized September birthday gift … and if you need nay help ordering products, we are just behind the Live Help link at the right of screen, during all AU business hours.</p>

<p>If you are a parent, you will understand the value in macaroni pencil holders, egg carton caterpillars and scribbled pictures &#8211; they were something that somebody spent time putting together, just for you. Made presents are lovely &#8230; but we do move on from the egg carton and macaroni stage fairly quickly! Today we are looking at how to bring that same personal touch to something much more involved than you can make yourself from scratch &#8211; jewelry. We have plenty of personalizable jewelry options in store &#8211; we pick out the best of the bunch for August birthdays.<br />

<p>We&#8217;ll start with some of the most unusual and highly personalizable items in store &#8211; our custom made titanium rings. Just about every aspect of these rings is personalizable &#8211; not just the ring size! Choose your band width, band shape, type of polish, type of polish for other sections of the ring, whether you want bands of color, whether you want to include gemstones, what type, number, setting and layout you want them in &#8230; it sounds exhausting but is extremely liberating, not being tied to one person&#8217;s idea of perfection! Titanium rings are suitable gifts for both women and men, and the example designs shown at the top are quite unisex.</p>
<p>Next, we&#8217;ll move on to some products that don’t instantly appear personalizable &#8211; but really give you enormous freedom to sway it your way. The heavy diamond set silver bangle at right is by Hot Diamonds &#8211; and what makes it personal to your friend or loved one will be the engraved message that you can have put in there! In fact, in this product there is just about enough space for an essay (although do remember that engraving costs extra <img src='http://gilletts.com.au/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  ). The bracelet itself is 19mm wide and made of solid sterling silver, featuring one brilliant cut white diamonds along with the Hot Diamonds logo engraved on one edge. Free shipping makes it an even more attractive buy!</p>
<p>The Tatty Teddy range of products has been a favorite of girls and young women everywhere, and we love the bracelet at right (sized to fit either adults or children), as a basis for your own personal message. The piece is especially suited to younger children, with a sweet dangle heart pendant, soft silver look and affordable pricing. The back of the Teddy link offers space to tell your little (or big!) girl exactly what you think of her.</p>
<p>Pandora has always been known for amazing personalization in their range of charm bracelets and necklaces, and they&#8217;ve been very busy thinking of ways to bring that flexibility to the rest of the range! One of their most recent additions is the Mix n Match earring collection, featuring sleek, cool gems like the pearl earrings attachments at right. The idea is that you purchase one or more sets of earrings hooks &#8211; some of these have small decorations on the ends, but many are fairly plain. You can then buy different attachments for the hooks, which both helps keep the cost of your earrings down, as well as helping personalize your jewelry collection and make what you have more versatile. For example, the pearl earring attachments shown are less than AU$50 &#8230; a bargain for the Pandora brand!</p>
<p>Anklets are another jewelry item that has recently had the Pandora touch of personalization. You can buy any of around 18 different anklets in the range, with about ten different charms and several different lengths. Eighteen products may not provide much opportunity for personalization &#8211; but when you add the entire range of bracelet and necklace charms to the possibilities, your lady friend need never wear the same anklet again! The one pictured is a 25cm silver anklet with adjustable length clasp, featuring a white freshwater pearl as decoration. These are incredibly cost effective, and you can change the pearl for different Pandora charms starting from just AU$30.</p>
<p>And of course, we couldn&#8217;t finish the article without seeing exactly what those alternate beads might be! For those that like a little color and passion in their lives, the red enamel hearts charm is shown. This is one of 24 different enamel charms (and on of hundreds of different beads altogether!), and features Pandora&#8217;s signature oxidized sterling silver base as well as two different tones of red enamel.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you could go for something cooler and slicker, like the white mother of pearl hearts charm at right. No less loving, but much less conspicuous, the mother of pearl inlays have a polished sterling silver base and an attractive price tag! Remember that all Pandora jewelry ships for free, but can only be delivered within Australia.</p>
<p>We have a couple of other variants of charm bracelet on site also, each very affordable and highly personalizable. Hot Diamonds &#8216;Charmed Life&#8217; collection is more like the traditional charm bracelets of old, each charm with a lobster clasp and a sleek, shining look. Nomination bracelets, pictured below the Hot Diamonds charms, are the Italian version of the charm bracelet. They feature a clever linking system that allows you to choose your own bracelet elements, but have a much more streamlined look that is suitable for men and women, work and play.</p>
<p>There is a huge number of gifts on site that you can bend, stretch, color, choose and fit to just how your loved one will like them! If you need any help with <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/custom_titanium_rings.htm">designing your own titanium ring</a>, <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/pandora_jewelry.htm">putting a Pandora bracelet together</a> or personalizing their anklets or earrings, or just getting a piece engraved, just click the Live Help link at the right of screen for instant staff assistance.</p>

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

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

Rochet Black and Stainless Steel Bracelet

<p>Rochet Black and Stainless Steel Bracelet</p></div>
<p>Much as each of us might deride the differences between the sexes, we really do need each other! Men hunt, women gather. Men listen, women talk. Men defend, and women nurture the home. And perhaps one of the most notable differences of all &#8211; men wear the same thing every summer and every winter, and women mix it up for them and create a bit of interest! Men&#8217;s jewelry is quite rapidly gaining in popularity, so if you&#8217;ve stumbled on accessorizing as a way to dress up twenty year old suits and the same cream slacks he would wear to dinner when you met him, well done! We have some excellent <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=23_155">suggestions here for men&#8217;s jewelry for July birthdays</a>.<br />

<p>Despite some characteristics we can generalize about, not all guys are the same! When you’re buying a gift for your man this July, be guided by one of the most scarily accurate predictors of personality &#8211; his starsign! Cancer guys are emotionally led, protective, sometimes shy but quite fierce when they or their loved ones are challenged. They are fairly conservative, but also fairly unpredictable and prone to changes of mind. Not changes of heart though! Leos, born on or after the 23rd, are sociable, passionate, dramatic and colorful people. Life without action and adventure is nothing to a Leo, and the lions of the zodiac can also be quite childlike and creative.</p>
<p>Cancer guys have a strange, but fascinating duality in their personality. While they can be quite shy, there is also a very strong and determined side to them, and if their loved ones are challenged, they&#8217;ll fly to the rescue! The layered look and duality of the Rochet bracelet at right coordinates well with Cancerian guys&#8217; personalities. The entire bracelet is made of stainless steel, however the black sections are coated with carbon resin. The bracelet is 22cm long, and a nice middling 1cm wide. It will fits most average sized male wrists, and is suitable for both everyday and evening wear. Just like everything else he owns!</p>
<p>Leo lads are a little more dramatic and colorful &#8211; a trait which can be difficult to find in men&#8217;s jewelry. Most pieces are quite monochrome and understated &#8211; until you reach the titanium rings section! You can design your own titanium ring, and include bands of blue, purple, black and silver as well as gemstones if you like. For a quick and budget-friendly gift, though, we love the blue stars titanium ring at right. It has a simple 7mm wide band, and the option to engrave a message inside it for free!</p>
<p>Titanium is an incredibly versatile material as far as jewelry goes, as well as being one of the strongest and most durable metals known in jewelry making. There are just as many options for Cancer guys in the titanium rings section as for Leos. Just look under the Simply Titanium subcategory rather than the Colored Titanium one. You&#8217;ll find beauties like this all-natural titanium band with a double wave design. Cancer guys can be sweetly soppy, and he&#8217;ll love the twin waves, making their way across the ring together. Awww! A lovely romantic gift.</p>
<p>Cancerian guys tend to wear their hearts on their sleeves, and he can make it even more prominent with a gift like a claddagh ring. This traditional Irish/Celtic design is sometimes used as a wedding ring, but most often worn simply as a dress ring. The one shown is made of 9ct white gold, and the band is a comfortable 4mm wide. You can engrave a message inside the band &#8211; but remember to measure his finger size accurately before you do that! Some lettering may be lost in re-sizing, otherwise. Check out the claddagh rings by clicking on the picture &#8211; there are yellow gold ones available also.</p>
<p>While Cancerian guys can be sweet and retiring (sometimes!), Leos are big, bold and dramatic. Look for pieces with a stand-out structure, like the Inori brand necklace at right. The huge, solid links are made of stainless steel, so are incredibly tough. The entire necklace is 50cm long, and on most men that will sit nice and high around the neck &#8211; perfect as an evening wear piece, for showing off! Just for something different, you&#8217;ll find two gold PVD coated links near the necklace clasp &#8211; unusual Leos will love it.</p>
<p>Inori brand items have their own modern, unisex and very different style. As well as the big and the bold, they also indulge those who live inside their hearts! The &#8216;Together&#8217; pendant pictured at right is perfect for Cancerian guys, with its loving sentiment and more conservative style. The pendant itself is a petite 2cm long, and it is a stand-alone item. If he has a favorite chain, this is made to slip right on. If he doesn’t have a chain for the pendant, look at the longer ones for Cancerian guys. Any chain 55cm and up will allow him to pop the pendant underneath his clothes, which will suit these shyer guys much more!</p>
<p>Our last feature piece for July is one that will suit either Cancerians or Leos &#8211; the dark and dramatic Rhythm pendant, with electric blue on black, pictured at right. While Leos will love the color in the piece, and the stunning electrifying contrast, Cancerians will love the strength in the colors, echoing their own inner strength. The pendant is a generously sized 4cm long, and the entire piece is made of stainless steel. It is a stand-alone item &#8211; look at ball chains as an option for this pendant, as the circular motif parallels the pendant&#8217;s own design.</p>
<p>There are literally hundreds of <a href="http://gilletts.com.au/index.php?cPath=23">men&#8217;s jewelry options</a> on site &#8211; keep browsing and you are sure to find something to suit your man, whatever his tastes!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For making somebody feel special, you really can&#8217;t go past buying a gift that is personalized, just for them.

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