Black Marvella Pandora Inspirations Bracelet

If you are buying for one of those young fandangled hooligan girls or boys that likes the new style of jewelry this October (;-) ), you might be wondering where the heck to start in our huge collection! Being modern or contemporary is such a subjective thing … sometimes it even entails being classical and traditional, as the cycles of fashion move from innovative to ‘vintage’, and back again. As you scroll through pages of necklaces, bracelets, charms and earrings, they can all start to look a bit the same. We thought we’d do you a favor this month, and let you know what’s hot right now in both men’s and women’s jewelry for October birthdays!

Rochet Men’s Black, Steel and Techno Gold Bracelet

You will be looking at the ‘modern’ styles of jewelry for birthday gifts … but in truth, that really only narrows your options by about 50%, and you’re still looking at thousands of different product possibilities. A great way to narrow the field even further is by using your loved one’s starsign as a surprisingly accurate gauge of jewelry taste. Librans are born form the 1st to the 23rd of October, and the traditional Libran personality is a balanced, graceful one that really appreciates the finer things in life … meaning gold, silver and diamonds! Scorpio takes up the rest of the month from the 24th onwards, and people born under Scorpio are usually said to be intense, private and very emotional people, fiercely loyal, who have a tendency towards mysticism. The signature color for Libra is pink but for Scorpio it is a dark, intensely dramatic black – which is why we picked the Black Marvella Pandora Inspirations bracelet at the beginning of the article for modern Scorpio gals. She’ll love the modern eclecticism of the bracelet, which chooses to mix a variety of textures, materials and patterns in a non-symmetrical, but still balanced way. Individualism is another trait of modern women, and your Scorpio gal will be able to build on the bracelet however she likes! With two spacers, two gems charms, a 14ct gold stripe charm and the five Murano glass pieces, this is one of our more complete pieces.

The personalizability and eclectic nature of the Pandora Inspirations bracelets are a lovely modern choice for Libran girls too – we chose the Love Swirls bracelet at right for the balance and femininity of it, which complements the Libran personality perfectly! With a graceful vertical flow to the design of the charms, the perfect symmetry and the unified theme of the bracelet, Libran girls will love it. The charms come on a sterling silver base bracelet, but if you like you can switch it for a 14ct gold version, which will suit your finery-loving Libran. Keep it on the sterling silver, though, and it is one of our more cost-effective Pandora Inspirations bracelets.

Georgini is a bran that really sums up the modern look, and is especially suited to younger girls. The funky black cubic zirconia ring at right is a stunning, powerful piece – perfect for Scorpios, as it is made in their signature color. The entire ring is made out of cubic zirconia, and the face of it measures 20mm from top to bottom. Stunning! This one ships for free, but we only have one finger size left in stock … so be quick!

We mentioned that Librans love to surround themselves with all of the best quality, finest things … this ‘Hearts in Love’ pendant is a great way to help her do that! It is the little details that give this subtly styled pendant a modern twist – things like the way the top heart attaches to the chain, and the asymmetrical grace of the two very differently shaped hearts. The bottom heat is encrusted with 21 brilliant cut diamonds, for an amazing sparkle factor, while the entire pendant is made of 9ct white gold, for good affordability. It is a daintily sized 20mm from top to bottom, and you are not paying for a chain in the price of the pendant. She can pop it on one of her existing favorites, and combat chain-clog while saving some money!

If your private Scorpio lady wants a modern look, without clogging it up with ‘unnecessary’ jewelry (if there is such a thing ), the Citizen Swarovski crystal watch at right is the answer. The clean, straight lines of the piece are quintessentially modern, and the black strap and mother of pearl face combine to make a mystical, powerful feel for the watch. This watch is one of Citizen’s Eco-Drive pieces, meaning that you are also giving the gift of never again having to change a watch battery. Eco-Drive is a solar-cell technology that is powerful and efficient enough to keep the watch going for up to five years in the dark … and then just needs a little light to get it going again! The watch is splash resistant, and comes with a huge 5 year manufacturer’s warranty.

If you are looking for modern birthday gifts, chances are that you are looking for members of the modern generation (makes sense!). Even if you aren’t searching for gifts for your own child, the Gift Ideas for Daughters and Gift Ideas for Sons section have some awesome youth-oriented, contemporary jewelry choices. The pink pearl earrings at right are from the Gift Ideas for Daughters category, and are perfect for Libras, with their graceful sway and slim modern lines. They include two petite 7-7.5mm pink freshwater pearls, and although they have a stylish, elegant look, they are extremely affordable!

Even though as a gender, they are much maligned for being ’soooo 1990!’, there are actually just about as many contemporary, cutting edge guys as there are girls out there. For the older, office bound ones, the black cubic zirconia cufflinks at right are a perfect modern choice. Geometrical lines coming to a sparkling point create a powerful and modern statement … perfect for Scorpio guys. The black enamel feature is set on stainless steel, one of the jewelry bases more favored by modern stylists. The links are only 1.5cm long, and help create a polished appearance without looking stuffy and old-school.

Rochet is one of our contemporary fashion brands on site, and they’ve created a great piece for modern Librans with this stainless steel, black rubber and techno gold bracelet. The balance of the bracelet is great, and the use of modern materials and different colors really makes it a fun piece of jewelry. It measures 22cm long, and while it is certainly one of the bigger-investment pieces in the men’s jewelry range, it will never be wasted on a Libran! Those sociable souls will find every excuse to wear it out and dress it up.
