‘Classical’ might sound like a bit of a hard-to-pin-down term when it comes to jewelry. Certainly it can’t mean ‘belonging to the Classical Era (the first few hundred years after the birth of Christ!)’. Yet once you understand it, classical jewelry is easy to spot and sift through. This type of jewelry often incorporates only one gemstone, which takes center stage. The stone is usually one of the traditional precious stones, like emeralds, rubies, sapphires or diamonds. Yellow gold is a favorite in classical jewelry, as is pearl and mother of pearl. Pieces can be large or small, but they are almost always streamlined, in a regular symmetrical shape. The piece at the beginning is a great example – the Pandora diamond matrix huggie earrings are symmetrical, with diamonds, a traditional gemstone, set in yellow gold.

Get the perfect classical piece of jewelry for your friend or loved one by using their zodiac sign as a guide. Scorpio men and women are born on or before the 22nd of November, and are passionate, intense and mysterious people. A birthday on or after the makes your friend a Sagittarius – these ladies and gentlemen are freedom loving, extroverted and adventurous. The beautiful 1 carat blue diamond earrings pictured at right will be a fantastic present for a Sagittarian lady. These classical women like their freedom, and the post and butterfly fitting along with the stud design means the earrings don’t hamper free movement, and can even be worn without being taken off for bed if that is her desire! They are actuallyset in white gold, rather than the more usual classical yellow gold, but we are sure she’ll forgive you that once she sees this beautiful gift!

A similar sot of gift for your classical Scorpio lass are these heart cut garnet earrings. The deep red color will be a winner with passionate, intense Scorpios, and garnets are actually an older type of stone, most popular in the early part of last century. The garnets are quite large for an earring stone, at 6mm wide, and they are set on 9 carat white gold. These gorgeous and striking earrings are also priced extremely reasonably – you’ll be able to take her out to dinner to show them off and still stay within budget!

Another winner for Sagittarians is the pearl flower drop necklace pictured. It features a single freshwater pearl in the middle, with a unique flower design. Classical Sagittarians will love the pearl, while the creative side of these women delights in having a piece of jewelry unlike any other! It is shorter than usual, to allow her to show off the gorgeous pearl better, and the main section of the necklace is made of sterling silver – another classical material.

Passionate, classical Scorpios will love the Citizen watch pictured, with its warm yellow gold base and mother of pearl face. Citizen are definitely one of the more classical watch manufacturers onsite, and this watch combines traditional style with modern technology (where you can’t see it!). It doesn’t need batteries, only some exposure to light and movement to charge the watch with Eco-Drive technology. It is water resistant to 100m, although you would never know it by the styling, and it is actually available at a special price due to our arrangement with Citizen.

We also know that classicism is not a quality confined only to females – although they wear it so well! If you are searching for a gift for a classical Scorpio male this November, you can use the gemstone tab of the product finder in the Gift Ideas for Men section to refine your results to mother of pearl items – and find beautiful classical pieces like these mother of pearl cufflinks. The general warmth of this jewelry relates well to the Scorpio personality, and the classical yellow gold and mother of pearl make them a timeless gift.

Freedom loving classical Sagittarian men are not likely to be tied down to an office or desk job, however! The stainless steel chain pictured has that smooth elegance that is required to call something a classical item. It is 45cm long, so will not sway around too much on his neck, as he is moving from one adventure to the next. You could adorn it with a pendant like one of those pictured below it, or just leave it as is for a simple, timeless look.
