Stunning Purple Iolite, Diamond and Pearl Necklace

If there was ever an area of your life where failure was not an option, it is not when you are on Mission: Impossible … not when you are organizing the takeover of a billion-dollar company … and not when you are ten points down with only five minutes to go in that crucial game … it is actually when you are looking for the perfect Christmas gift for your wife! Just because you are married doesn’t mean all that lovey-dovey stuff has to go out the window … and go on, don’t you enjoy it just as much as she does? Really?!! Here we have some marriage-saving suggestions for the perfect Christmas present for your wife this year – for when failure is not an option!

The first and most important decision you’ll have to make with regard to Christmas gifts for your wife is what sort to buy. Yes, I know, that can mean a hundred things, and is not particularly helpful … yet! What you need to decide is whether you’ll be looking at earrings, pendants and necklaces, bracelets or watches. Think about which of your wife’s beautiful, wonderful, gorgeous features (;-) ) you want to highlight. Pendants and necklaces draw attention to a plunging decolletage, while earrings highlight stunning eyes and hair, and bracelets are perfect for graceful arms and wrists … while watches are great for the girl who is always running fashionably late! Think about the sorts of jewelry your wife already wears before you decide, and whether she changes her earrings every day, whether her work would make a bracelet possible, and whether she has any daily favorites already.

If it is a necklace or pendant that you have decided on, you can check out the range of handy gift suggestions for wives, click on the Style tab, and check the boxes for Pendants and Necklaces for an easy way to narrow the search. If you prefer, you can see the entire range of women’s pendants here. Jaw-dropping decolletages will benefit from necklaces with a long drop, like the purple iolite, diamond and pearl one pictured at the beginning of the article. The two natural iolites in the necklace have a gorgeous, individual purple-blue color, with one pear cut gem and one emerald cut one. Four brilliant cut white diamonds set off the iolites, , and 12mm, 5mm and 3mm cultured fresh water pearls set at intervals throughout the necklace also make for a stunning and individual choice. These are all set on 14 carat white gold, and make for a gorgeous luxury Christmas pressie.

If she is a little more streamlined in her look, try something like this purple pearl necklace. With all the color of the iolite pendant, but a much sleeker look, it has unique purple pearls set on a sterling silver necklace. White fresh water pearls provide a little color-relief, and contrast, and green crystals make this the perfect gift for green-eyed lasses. The purple pearls are a lovely dark color, and it is likely that she hasn’t seen anything like them before … surprise her this Chrissy!

If you know that your wife, like many women, will be entranced with the uniqueness of different colored pearls, but is not as keen on the multitude of colors in the pearl necklace above, the Pandora champagne pearl necklace with flower is a great option. The champagne pearl sits alongside a genuine white diamond, with both of them set on beautiful quality 14 carat yellow gold. The pendant drop section is a dainty 2cm long, and the necklace itself is comfortably sized at 45cm long. This pendant also has some beautiful matching Pandora jewelry elsewhere in the range, including the champagne pearl earrings and the gold flower with diamond dangle charm for Pandora bracelets shown… but of course, Pandora Bracelets are a whole ‘nother story!

If it is your wife’s eyes and beautiful face that you feel deserve the most attention of her bodily features (!), then earrings will be your gift of choice. If you want to make this Christmas something for her to remember, try a gorgeous dress pair of earrings like the sapphire drop ones shown. They feature eight natural sapphires, with a massive combined gemstone weight of 1.3 carats. The gems are set on white gold, an 18 carat base, and are made for pierced ears, with post and butterfly fittings. Despite the appearance in the photo, these earrings are actually quite daintily sized, at only 2cm long, and make for a great accent for deep blue, soulful eyes!

If your wife is the type to leave earrings in for weeks at a time, or one of those women who prefer a more streamlined look for her ears, the diamond cluster stud earrings shown will be an excellent option for her. The perfect way to add sparkle to eyes from green to brown to blue, and anything in between, they feature a total of seventeen H color brilliant cut white diamonds, with a combined weight of .46 carats. That should be enough to impress her, but not give her a headache! The diamonds are set on white gold, so are suitable for all skin types, and are for pierced ears.

If it your wife’s slender graceful wrists and arms you’d like to highlight (or her endearing habit of talking with her hands!), then you’ll be looking at a bracelet for her Christmas gift. A truly luxurious and special bracelet, the Royal Doulton Devotion jade and diamond bracelet shown is a white gold filigree design, perfect for an old-world or vintage look that is equally popular with younger and young-at-heart ladies. It is inlaid with blue jade, which some say is a lucky charm and a protection against evil spirits. There is also a total of 66 brilliant cut white diamonds, that are H colour, Pi clarity (excellent quality, for the layman :-) ).

If the sleekness and happy jingle of a bangle is more her thing, the diamond bangle from Hot Diamonds pictured at right is a wonderful option, and more budget friendly than many others. It is made of sterling silver, but the bracelet has been rhodium plated so that even if she is sensitive to this metal, she can wear it without irritation or tarnishing. It features a total of ten sparkling, brilliant cut white diamonds, and is a dainty 2.44 inches in diameter. This will fit most women’s wrists, and is small enough so that she need not worry about it accidentally slipping off when she is wildly gesticulating to (or at) you! The flow design matches beautifully with other pieces in the Hot Diamonds Go with the Flow collection.

And for ladies with a more casual style, Inori makes some wonderful unisex bangle with colored enamel inlays, like the autumn leaf one shown. It is made of stainless steel, with orange epoxy resin inlays as well as cubic zirconias, to give autumn that clear sparkle that is one of its best qualities! This is 5.5 cm in diameter, and suitable for both men and women … good to know when you are looking for something to spruce up one of your own outfits!

But if you haven’t seen something you know your wife will fall in love with as immediately as she did with you, don’t worry! There are hundreds more products, both in the Gift Ideas for Wives section, and the shop in general. Choose the Shop by Type tab in the left hand menu, once you’ve decided on the solution to the pendant / necklace / bracelet / earring conundrum, and if you need any further pointers, just click on the Live Help link to the right of screen in the store area.

    my husband definitely has to read this article! thanks for posting a lot of gorgeous gift ideas for women! i know gifts are meant to be a surprise but then a couple of hints would definitely help our men decide what to give us, right? after all, it’s still up to him what he wants to give us – we’re just making some suggestions! :)

    I agree! There is nothing worse than seeing somebody trying to hide disappointment because they got a gift that they really didn’t need or want … and sometimes don’t like. There’s no need for it, and we appreciate the gift just as much no matter who picked it. Even broad hints are okay, and still leave room for surprise ..
