Pandora Diamond Trinity Earrings

If you have a friend who is the classical sort, you certainly know about it! It is more than a little likely that being around them makes you feel a bit frumpy or a bit slobbish, depending on whether you are a male or female … they always seem to be groomed impeccably and despite never changing their wardrobe, never look out of date. They are the sleek, chic works of art among us … and the rest of us tend to feel more than a little inadequate! But we love them anyway, of course , and definitely want to get them a birthday present that reflects their classical, beautifully groomed nature. Here we’ve collected out best suggestions for classical style jewelry gifts for January born guys and girls.

If you are buying for a classical man or woman born on or before the 20th of January, then you have a conventional, traditional Capricorn on your hands. They embody the very spirit of classicism, and will love jewelry that has a single feature, is made out of traditional gems and materials, and has olden-style shaping and proportioning. If none of that makes sense in jewelry terms to you, don’t worry! We understand perfectly, and will show you some of the best examples, like the diamond trinity earrings from Pandora at the beginning of the article. There is almost no symbol more classical than the trinity – the father, the son and the holy spirit of great jewelry! They are made of 14ct yellow gold, so will most likely outlast even her time on this planet, with genuine white diamonds in the center, a very classical gem, and are beautifully sized at around 7mm long.

Another thing that classical Capricorns love is to match – no eclecticism here, thank you very much! However, Pandora certainly makes this easy for her, with an extensive range of jewelry with the same motif and similar stones. The diamond flower bubble gold ring is shown, and if you are looking for a more budget friendly version of the earrings with just as much classical character, you could go for the straight gold trinity flower earrings. These items are both made from 14ct yellow gold, are excellent quality. If she has a Pandora bracelet there are charms made to match these earrings and rings also, and some of these would be perfect for those classical girls who occupy the back half of the month – the Aquarians!

The words ‘classical’ and ‘Aquarian’ usually go together like oil and water do … that is, not at all! Aquarians are known as very unconventional characters, with a rebellious streak a mile wide and a love for everything unusual. However, it takes all sorts in this world, and if you happen to know a classical Aquarian lady, you can not only write and tell us, but get her something that is just a little bit off kilter, but still adhering to the main principles of classical jewelry. You could go for the tanzanite version of the diamond flower earrings above – tanzanites are a lovely light purple stone, or you could do something a little out of the ordinary and check out the bridal jewelry section for ideas! Bridal jewelry is often quite clean and classical by nature, but must be individual, to allow a bride’s own personality to come through. The pearl and lavender cubic zirconia earrings at right do this brilliantly, incorporating subtle styling with traditional materials like pearls and sterling silver … then adding a signature Aquarian twist. There are matching products for these gorgeous earrings, but the shaping and layout starts to lean towards the modern rather than the classical. Check it out if you want, though, by clicking on the image, and going down to the ‘Products We Also Recommend’ section.

One product which you’ll find in the bridal jewelry section which is suitable for either of our classical zodiac signs this January is the antique style pearl and cubic zirconia necklace shown. Capricorns will love it for its utter traditionalism, whereas classical Aquarian women will appreciate the kitsch value, and also the timelessness of it. The cultured freshwater pearl is an 8.5mm specimen, and the eight white cubic zirconias acompanying it are set on sterling silver. The entire piece hangs from a yellow ribbon – a very different, but still quite a classical look.

Aquamarine jewelry is always a lovely choice for classical women, and it means they can maintain their look for quite a lot less than the ‘classical’ gemstones like sapphires, rubies and diamonds cost. The aquamarine earrings shown are for Capricorns and Aquarians, respectively. Capricorns will love the heart design as these girls as simple, loving souls who treasure the security of a relationship and love to be reminded that someone is in love with them! For Aquarians, the pear cut stones represent something just a little out of the ordinary, yet still quite subtle, sleek and classical. There are no other stones crowding or overlaid on the aquamarines, making the style an innately classical one, but the cut provides a little individuality.

Bracelets are always a good accent for those slender, perfectly formed graceful wrists and forearms that classical women are blessed with! The heart bracelet from Hot Diamonds is a great choice for Capricorn women – these girls love romance, and the more reminders of it the better, as we mentioned! This slimmer model has a more classical look than the alternating, wide link hearts bracelet by the same manufacturer. You’ll notice the amazing luster of the metal, which is due to rhodium plating, to prevent tarnishing and also improve the shine. The links have eight brilliant cut white diamonds, and for that many gems and so much style, it is a bargain!

Our choice for classical Aquarians is the overlap bangle by Hot Diamonds. While the sterling silver and diamond inclusion keep it classical, the overlap provides a bit of uniqueness. It remains quite balanced though, an essential quality for classical girls. This bracelet is also rhodium plated, and will be a favorite for many years to come.

Classical men have certainly not been overlooked though! Our pick for classical Capricorn guys this month goes back again to the Hot Diamonds range, with the superb cufflinks pictured. They are classical to the max, and made from hard wearing stainless steel, with a sparkling diamond insert to make every day at work just a little bit special!

For Aquarian men, we love the heavy stainless steel ID bracelet at right. While bracelets ar certainly not a classical type of men’s jewelry, ID bracelets have been around for a long time. The design is simple and sleek, and the material is hard wearing. You can engrave whatever you like on there … he doesn’t have to announce just his name to the world if he doesn’t want to! The fact that not many men are wearing bracelets will certainly satisfy his rebellious streak, while maintaining classicism in his look.
