Beyond the Egg Carton Caterpillar - Personalized Birthday Gifts for August!
If you are a parent, you will understand the value in macaroni pencil holders, egg carton caterpillars and scribbled pictures - they were something that somebody spent time putting together, just for you. Made presents are lovely … but we do move on from the egg carton and macaroni stage fairly quickly! Today we are looking at how to bring that same personal touch to something much more involved than you can make yourself from scratch - jewelry. We have plenty of personalizable jewelry options in store - we pick out the best of the bunch for August birthdays.
We’ll start with some of the most unusual and highly personalizable items in store - our custom made titanium rings. Just about every aspect of these rings is personalizable - not just the ring size! Choose your band width, band shape, type of polish, type of polish for other sections of the ring, whether you want bands of color, whether you want to include gemstones, what type, number, setting and layout you want them in … it sounds exhausting but is extremely liberating, not being tied to one person’s idea of perfection! Titanium rings are suitable gifts for both women and men, and the example designs shown at the top are quite unisex.
Next, we’ll move on to some products that don’t instantly appear personalizable - but really give you enormous freedom to sway it your way. The heavy diamond set silver bangle at right is by Hot Diamonds - and what makes it personal to your friend or loved one will be the engraved message that you can have put in there! In fact, in this product there is just about enough space for an essay (although do remember that engraving costs extra
). The bracelet itself is 19mm wide and made of solid sterling silver, featuring one brilliant cut white diamonds along with the Hot Diamonds logo engraved on one edge. Free shipping makes it an even more attractive buy!
The Tatty Teddy range of products has been a favorite of girls and young women everywhere, and we love the bracelet at right (sized to fit either adults or children), as a basis for your own personal message. The piece is especially suited to younger children, with a sweet dangle heart pendant, soft silver look and affordable pricing. The back of the Teddy link offers space to tell your little (or big!) girl exactly what you think of her.
Pandora has always been known for amazing personalization in their range of charm bracelets and necklaces, and they’ve been very busy thinking of ways to bring that flexibility to the rest of the range! One of their most recent additions is the Mix n Match earring collection, featuring sleek, cool gems like the pearl earrings attachments at right. The idea is that you purchase one or more sets of earrings hooks - some of these have small decorations on the ends, but many are fairly plain. You can then buy different attachments for the hooks, which both helps keep the cost of your earrings down, as well as helping personalize your jewelry collection and make what you have more versatile. For example, the pearl earring attachments shown are less than AU$50 … a bargain for the Pandora brand!
Anklets are another jewelry item that has recently had the Pandora touch of personalization. You can buy any of around 18 different anklets in the range, with about ten different charms and several different lengths. Eighteen products may not provide much opportunity for personalization - but when you add the entire range of bracelet and necklace charms to the possibilities, your lady friend need never wear the same anklet again! The one pictured is a 25cm silver anklet with adjustable length clasp, featuring a white freshwater pearl as decoration. These are incredibly cost effective, and you can change the pearl for different Pandora charms starting from just AU$30.
And of course, we couldn’t finish the article without seeing exactly what those alternate beads might be! For those that like a little color and passion in their lives, the red enamel hearts charm is shown. This is one of 24 different enamel charms (and on of hundreds of different beads altogether!), and features Pandora’s signature oxidized sterling silver base as well as two different tones of red enamel.
Alternatively, you could go for something cooler and slicker, like the white mother of pearl hearts charm at right. No less loving, but much less conspicuous, the mother of pearl inlays have a polished sterling silver base and an attractive price tag! Remember that all Pandora jewelry ships for free, but can only be delivered within Australia.
We have a couple of other variants of charm bracelet on site also, each very affordable and highly personalizable. Hot Diamonds ‘Charmed Life’ collection is more like the traditional charm bracelets of old, each charm with a lobster clasp and a sleek, shining look. Nomination bracelets, pictured below the Hot Diamonds charms, are the Italian version of the charm bracelet. They feature a clever linking system that allows you to choose your own bracelet elements, but have a much more streamlined look that is suitable for men and women, work and play.
There is a huge number of gifts on site that you can bend, stretch, color, choose and fit to just how your loved one will like them!
