Cameo Pendant Brooch

If you have ever met a ballerina in person, you’ll understand the meaning of having a classical style … and if you are like me, you well remember the feeling of inadequacy at standing next to such creatures of perfection! Never a hair out of place, clothing that seems to iron itself, and impeccable color schemes just seem to come easily to some. If you are friends (or related to) one of these ethereal creatures, what can you possibly get them that maintains their sleek sophistication, without dragging it down to your level ;-) !! Gilletts has plenty of answers for classical gifts for March birthdays.

Even these immaculately classical men and women have their own personalities – of course! If you are looking for a gift for someone born on or before the 20th of March, they are a spiritual, dreamy, artistic and very individual Piscean. Aries rules on and after the 21st, and these guys and girls are strong, energetic, bold and fiery. We picked the Cameo Pendant brooch at the beginning of the article for classical Pisceans. The older style cameo is revitalized and re-energized in this design. Shell, agate and sardonyx have all been popular bases for the traditional – classical – cameo design, but this one is made of chalcedony. It can be worn either as a brooch, with a pin back, or as a pendant. Your dreamy Piscean girl will love imagining what the lady in the picture was like, and probably will do so for hours on end!

Matched jewelry is an important part of a classical look (see, you’re learning things all the time!), and chalcedony is a beautiful and quite unique stone. Why not extend your gift, or save these Pandora chalcedony hoop earrings for Christmas for your classical Piscean friend. They have a beautiful clean sterling silver look, and at 4cm long the dangle just enough to give your Piscean friend that lovely free-swaying feeling.

Arian girls are fiery, no matter how well deported and presented they are … and one way for them to express that (other than growling and exploding at random … generally not taken very well!) is through fiery, energetically colored gemstones like citrines. The rectangular cut of the citrine earrings at right will suit straightforward Arian girls well, as will the warmth and energy of the stone. The citrines are set on 9ct white gold, and although the gem is quite large, it is a very affordable piece.

The character of something always depends on its context though … and while that might sound a bit deep for a jewelry blog, you’ll understand when you look at the peridot and citrine ring at right. Although it does include the fiery citrine, we’d recommend this for classical Piscean girls. The clean lines of the channel set stones help her maintain her sleek appearance, while the gems themselves are reminiscent of the sun shining upon the grass … you don’t get much more mystical or spiritual than these wonders of nature! The base is 9ct white gold, for good affordability, and the band is a nice middling 4mm wide.

For Arians, citrines are lovely as a stand alone stone, and for a romantic classical gift, you can’t go past the round cut citrine ring at right. You have probably often thought of your Arian girl as a bit of a fireball … so this ring will be a mini-me for her! The stone looks like the sun itself, suspended in the sky … it is a .52ct citrine measuring around 5mm. The band is budget friendly, but versatile and very classical 9ct white gold. The style is quite easy to resize, also, so you can keep this one a surprise until the big day. A rare luxury with rings given as gifts!

Amber has all the benefits of citrine for Arian girls, with its melting, fiery depths, and these earrings incorporate it in a classically clean way. The design is large and bold, to suit Arian sensibilities, but singular and uncluttered. The amber pieces are set on 14ct yellow gold, beautiful quality, and they feature safety clip fittings. These less commonly found fittings are great for on-the-go Arians. The earrings themselves measure 14mm by around 11mm.

Aquamarines are the birthstone for March, and you can’t get much more classical in terms of jewelry than birthstone pieces! They are especially nice for March born Pisceans, as their subtle pale blue is a signature color for this starsign. The heart cut aquamarine earrings at right are a lovely example – the prong setting gives them a clean look, and the yellow gold base brings out more of the color in the aquamarine than a silver or white gold one does. The aquamarines are large 6mm stones, and the 9ct gold base helps keep them well within budget!

We mentioned that matching accessories is an important part of a classical look, and we love the heart cut aquamarine ‘flower’ pendant as a match for the prong set earrings. The stone is only slightly smaller than the earrings’ gems, at 5mm across, and it is set again on 9ct yellow gold. This is a stand alone item, so if she has a favorite chain that she always wears, there is no need for it to go to waste! Versions of both of these products on white gold bases, but otherwise exactly the same, are also available in the aquamarine jewelry section.

And let us not forget that guys can have just as clean and sleek a classical look as girls, also … no matter what reputation the tracksuit wearing, mismatched sock-ed, unkempt haired creatures that most of us know, create for the species! For classical Piscean guys, we love the diamond blue cufflinks at right. Gentle, sleek, and incorporating the most traditional of jewelry materials, they also include Pisces’ signature color, pale blue. They are a compact 2cm across, and their sterling silver base is rhodium plated, for greater shine and to prevent tarnishing.

For male Arian classics, the black onyx cufflinks are dramatic, strongly styled, bold and stunning! They have a unique, but very traditional rounded rectangular shaping, and a 14ct gold base. The onyx pieces are 9mm x 15mm – these stand out wonderfully on gray suits. They are a definite luxury item – but of course, that is what you want for classical men and women.

For the gently classical Pisces male, the arabesque pendant at right combines classical inscriptions into a new format – men’s jewelry. It is made of stainless steel, so is ultra hard wearing, which is adorned with a clear cubic zirconia. The tall attachment piece and cutout will make your willowy Piscean guy seem even more tall and graceful than he is… if that’s possible! Great value, and great style.

If you know you are looking for a classical style gift, but have trouble telling your willowies from your compacts, and your rubies from your pink tourmalines, just keep browsing in the Gifts Ideas for Women and Gift Ideas for Men sections, and when you see something that sticks out to you, run it past our expert filter by simply clicking the Live Help button.
