The internet has solved so many of our modern problems … what would we do without eBay, Google or Facebook nowadays?! Sometimes, though, it seems to have created more problems than it has solved. For example, you have an enormous, mind-boggling range of superb birthday gifts to choose from, but where is the store attendant to help you find the exact one you want? Well, right here!

If you’re looking for a birthday gift this May for a classical sort of man or woman … one that is ever-elegant, always polished, then we can help you find the perfect jewelry gift for them this May!

Natural Emerald and Diamond Dress Ring

Citizen Ladies Watch - Classical Style

Citizen Men’s Dress Watch - Classical Style

Ripples Cuff Links

Men’s Inori Arabesque Bracelet

Pearl and Diamond Necklace

The birthstone for May is the emerald, and if you have a ‘classical’ friend or loved one, then going by birthstone is a lovely traditional way to personalize their present. This emerald and diamond dress ring falls into the category of ‘luxury’, but is wonderfully understated, and shows off the natural clear depths of the stone so well.

Emeralds are a beautiful choice , and sure to be appreciated, but natural emeralds (as opposed to synthetic ones), are becoming more and more difficult to source, and Gilletts like to bring you the highest quality pieces that we can. If your budget doesn’t extend to natural emeralds, there are still plenty of beautiful classical pieces in the range. You’ll find a wide range of hand-selected pieces in the Gifts Ideas for Her and Gift Ideas for Him sections.

A watch is always a useful and appreciated gift for birthdays - no matter if your loved one already has a watch - they almost certainly don’t have a watch for every type of occasion! The Citizen range has plenty of classical pieces - pictured below is a sample from the ladies range - the chain band makes it extremely comfortable, and the all-gold effect gives it an innate classicism. The equivalent men’s watch is suitable for the office and for evening wear, and both of these pieces are quite affordable for the wonderful quality and attention they are made with!

Because men’s jewelry has exploded in range so much over the last decade or so, as it becomes more usual, it can be difficult to find the more classical, as opposed to modern pieces. These rippled cuff links are an example of our classical style men’s jewelry - different, but delightfully traditional! On top of this, they are available for only AU$65.

If cufflinks aren’t his thing, you could go for something like this arabesque bangle by Inori. While bracelets aren’t a classical jewelry item in themselves, for the traditional type man who works outside the office, this is a sophisticated, genteel choice.

And for her, if you are looking for a classical birthday gift this May, try using the product finder in the Gifts for Her section to refine your search results to items containing pearls (look under the gemstone tab). This brings up both black, silver and white pearl items, and they all have an old-fashioned beauty. This pearl and diamond necklace is sure to make your classical lass swoon!
