Pandora Yellow Enamel Flower Jewelry

Girlfriends are pretty neat … they provide a comfy, naturally scented pillow, occasionally pick up your socks, and are much nicer to hug than the guys from your footy team! If your girlfriend has a birthday this May, you either have a mercurial, sociable, lively and active Gemini (May 21-31), or a solid, dependable and very artistic Taurus girl (May 1-20). We’ve got some great picks for either end of the May mistress spectrum – read on for both Gemini and Taurean gift ideas.

Pandora Lime Cubic Zirconia and Green Pearl Earrings

Aquamarine Yellow Gold Ring

8.5mm Canary Yellow Pearl Earrings

Blue Sapphire Stud Earrings

The warmth, life and activity that the sun creates is a natural parallel for Gemini girls, who are sociable and never still themselves … so it makes sense that yellow is their signature colour.

We love the unabashedly bright, happy yellow of the Pandora enamel flowers range, which has products in every jewellery types. For Gemini’s whose incessant energy means they are always out on the town, choose something like the yellow flower drop earrings pictured at top middle – Geminis who are more into physical activity and sports will appreciate jewellery that is more streamlined and less likely to catch. The yellow enamel flower ring, or the stud earrings, will suit them beautifully.

Taurean girls are solid, earthy creatures – no pretenses, low-maintenance, and always responsible – everything you could want in a girlfriend, you should agree! You should really, really agree – especially if she’s reading with you .

Copper is one of the earthiest of all elements and metals, and the Fossil rose gold tone watch at right brings the personality of the metal to life beautifully. The watch is actually hard wearing stainless steel in a rose gold tone, and the beautiful rich warmth of that rose colour is coupled with a mother of pearl dial – an unexpected and artistic choice. The watch comes with a two year manufacturer’s warranty, and is 50m water resistant.

If you have a Taurean girlfriend, the Fossil range is well worth exploring – Taureans are down to earth gals, and a Fossil is about as down to earth as it is possible to be! The Fossil retro wood watch at right is a great example, satisfying not only a Taurean’s love of unpretentiousness, but their artistic flair as well with the silver swirls on the links. It is suitable for accidental splashes, and comes with a two year manufacturer’s warranty.

The signature color for Taurus, surprisingly, is green … not brown! This comes from the fact that they are a sort of Earth Mother sign, taking responsibility and caring for everybody and because they are fertile ladies. Not just in the literal sense, either! Don’t panic .

The Pandora lime cubic zirconia and green pearl earrings are perfect for them, with their unexpected, artistic combination of materials and shapes. They have hook style fittings but are quite compact (only 3cm long), so are suitable for everyday wear.

The aquamarine yellow gold ring at right has two Gemini-’owned’ features. Aquamarines are a signature stone for the twins of the zodiac (if you ever feel like your girlfriend has multiple personalities, it is neatly explained by her star sign ), as is yellow, for the gold of the ring. The aquamarine is a .42ct, 5mm specimen, and is a fantastic and very unusual round cut … looking like a crystal ball that your mysterious Gemini will tell your future with! The ring is quite easy to re-size, so if you love the squeal and surprise factor of birthday gifts, you can quite easily order it in a standard size and have the ring re-sized locally.

The yellow pearl earrings at right are another gorgeous product that is unabashedly, completely Gemini. Bright, sunny, and outgoing – and the earrings aren’t bad either! Pearls above 8mm size become rarer and rarer – so these sweet canary yellow specimens are extremely well priced. They are freshwater pearls, and if your girlfriend loves them enough, she can wear these stud earrings day in and day out.

The blue sapphire earrings make for a gorgeous deep sky background for the sunny pearls – and that’s Taurus all over! The stable background for limelight stealing suns ;-D ! Sapphire is also a signature stone for Taurus, and she’ll love the simplicity of these dainty 2.5mm gemstone earrings. For natural blue sapphires, the most prized of all the sapphire varieties, these are extremely reasonably priced too.
