Happy Homes – July Birthday Gifts for Husbands
If you’re anything like me, you think the world of your husband! They may be completely different to us (messy, unable to understand why we can’t remember street directions, occasionally grumbly), but it is the differences that make it all work, day to day. There is one area where men and women are mostly the same, though – jewelry is an excellent birthday gift for both of us. We look at how to celebrate your differences while realizing you similarities … through the beauty of men’s jewelry gifts!
There are two types of men in July (yes, there are many more than two types in the world!). Those born on or before the 22nd are emotionally driven, protective, shy yet strong and more conservative Cancerians. Leo rules from the 23rd onwards, making guys more passionate, energetic, sociable, dramatic and colorful in general. The Mystery men’s diamond bracelet at the beginning of the article is perfect for Cancer men, with its subtle, more conservative look. The signature color for Cancer is white, and while silver is almost, but not quite the same, the genuine diamond included in the piece is s sparkling 0.02 white stone. The bracelet is 22cm long, but if he prefers to wear his bracelets snugger (and Cancer guys are often snugglier than most!), links can easily be removed.
Leo men, on the other hand, look for pieces that will sparkle on the dance floor, and flash as he gestures to his mates at the pub. The rose gold tone stainless steel bracelet at right is perfect, with its big, bold styling and dramatically unusual combination of rose gold and black rubber. The stainless steel base (with PVD coating for color) makes this an especially tough item, suitable to withstand the tests of energetic Leo husbands! It is 21cm long, and includes free shipping.
For Cancerian husbands, though, the easiest place to start is the Hot Diamonds collection. The subtle shimmer of diamonds on silver suits their shyer, slightly more conservative personality beautifully, as do the genuine white diamonds the dot every piece. He’ll love pendants, that allow him to hide his jewelry under his clothes if need be, or show them off when he feels like it. The bracelet at right is named Spotlight, but is quite similar in style to the Mystery bracelet shown above. These would make a lovely set of gifts, either for a birthday or a birthday-Christmas combination.
Leo guys are one of the most colorful signs in the zodiac, but unfortunately there are not many pieces to help express that side of their personality available in men’s jewelry. Opals are one of the few flashes of true color you’ll find – and this gorgeous opal ring incorporates them beautifully. The opal inlay is set in a 7mm wide band, made of 18ct white gold for suitability with all skin types. The ring is a wonderfully weighty 12.3g. Unfortunately, you may have to spoil the surprise for this one – opal inlay rings are difficult to resize, so you’ll need his size measured accurately by a jeweller.
It is not only color the defines Leo men, but movement and drama. While your husband’s energy may exhaust you at times, it is the perfect match for this Fossil watch! The watch never needs the battery replaced, it is charged by the movement of his arms. A series of gears continually move as he moves, and a cutaway in the dial lets you actually see what is happening inside the watch. The band is stainless steel, in your choice of sizes, and the face is carbon fiber. The watch also ocmes with a 2 year manufacturer’s warranty from Fossil.
Cancer and Leo men are often seen to be as different as night and day – and nowhere is this more evident than in their choices of birthday watch! The white tone dial of this Citizen Eco-Drive watch incorporates Cancer’s signature color beautifully, as well as representing the simplicity and lovely workmanship of the entire piece. The watch is water resistant for splashes, has a date function as well as time, has a non-reflective crystal face and incorporates Citizen’s famous Eco-Drive technology. Eco-Drive works by absorbing sunlight or artificial light, and storing it in a solar cell to power the watch for up to 5 years, even in the dark!
Cancer men are likely to be a little conservative not only in the styles they prefer, but the types of jewelry they wear. If you have an office bound Cancer husband, you most likely know the morning rush to find two matching cufflinks! Help solve the problem with these Hot Diamonds silver cufflinks, made of the trademark sterling silver, each with three genuine white diamonds set in the face. They have a gorgeous smooth curve, and are otherwise unadorned – just how he likes it!
Rochet recently brought out a limited edition MotoGP series of jewelry, and this suspension pendant is the perfect choice from it for Leo guys! Your husband lives for thrills and drama, and there is nowhere better to get them (for a guy!) than the racetrack. Give him his kicks every morning with this stainless steel and PVD coated piece. The pendant is a masculine 4cm long, and features free shipping across Australia. If you and your husband like its style, there are plenty of other MotoGP pieces in the men’s gift ideas section to be found.
