If there is no other time of the year that you tell her that you love her (although we sincerely hope that isn’t the case!), her birthday should be the special time. Speaking better than words can are gestures - like choosing one of the gorgeous love-themed pieces of jewelry that are available on site. The sparkling heart diamond pendant pictured at the beginning of the article is very distinctive, made to sit above the top line of the chain, unlike many other pendants, and with the diamonds placed in an ‘invisible’ setting, creating a compact cave of intense light and sparkle. It is made in 18 carat white gold, and is actually sold as a stand-alone item. This means that you can pick and choose the chain that you give with it - you can see how well yellow gold works as a backdrop, and rose gold can be equally effective - or you can tone it down with a white gold backdrop.

Continuing that terribly, deliciously mushy love theme (!), but with a little more color, is the pink topaz and amethyst pendant shown. The beautiful cascade-style piece is set on yellow gold, with seventeen pink topazes and purple amethysts. Despite the lush abundance of gemstones in the pendant, it is actually very reasonably priced - don’t be scared away, it is not only for the Trumps among you!

If you are looking for squeals, shrieks, jumping up and down and butterfly kisses for you, then the hearts necklace made with sterling silver and rose gold should be your ticket! With two sterling silver hearts, one rose gold heart and a diamond heart (because they are forever!), this gorgeous piece will soon become a favorite - just try getting it off her so you can go to bed! The bottom heart has 26 white diamonds, brilliant cut and with excellent clarity. This is also surprisingly priced, and there is no need to spend extra on a chain - there is one included with the pendant.

However, if hearts are a little young and girlish for her taste, pearls should provide a suitably sophisticated adornment for her! There is a great range of pearl jewelry in the Gift Ideas for Girlfriends section, including one that his Purpleness, Prince would have been ecstatic about, featuring ‘diamonds and pearls’ in a filigree design. The Pandora earrings are made from sterling silver, and feature 2 x .02 carat genuine diamonds set in a yellow gold setting. The filigree design is feminine yet fashionable, and one of the best things about this is that there is a whole range of matching jewelry available. You can have ready made presents for the next few years, with rings, pendants, different styles of earrings, and Pandora charm bracelet beads all available with the same gorgeous design. The pendant and ring are shown below the drop earrings.

If you are looking for something as an addition to the main event - perhaps you are going out for dinner and a night away, or to a show … lucky her! If this is the case, Tatty Teddy make an affordable range of very sweet gifts for girlfriends. like the bracelet pictured at right. This piece has a modern, simple yet very clever linking system that allows her to easily put it on without help (there is no excuse for not wearing it every day, now!). The piece pictured has a gorgeous synthetic ruby inset into a sterling silver base. Tatty Teddy has been a favorite of girls, both small and big, all over the world for many years. A great choice for fans of teh greeting cards and stuffed toys.

For something utterly different, why not try the Pandora earrings pictured - one thing they do better than any other jewelry brand is incorporate non-standard gems to great effect. These earrings have jade (considered a lucky stone), and turquoise pearl giving the stunning white pearl down the bottom a lovely seascape of color above. These are also quite affordable.

Or if you just aren’t sure what she’ll like, the birthstone for October is always a fairly safe bet. Opal is the usual October stone, and these opal earrings feature six stunning light, multi-colored opals on 14 carat white gold. They are actually quite delicate, at only 2cm long, so are even good for those women who worry about the security of their ears with long earrings.
