Jewelry for Valentines

What could be more romantic than this gift on her special day? Precious jewellery inside a red ribboned box hidden somewhere easy for her to find. Nothing creates a smile and gives a lasting forever style of memory than a new necklace or ring or bracelet to mark this special day on her calendar.

Hundreds of years of tradition are built into most of the designs available and so a bit of history can be discovered in every jewellery gift. Although Valentine's Day is a time for jewellery as nothing is more romantic than putting the sparkle of St. Valentine's eyes unto the fingers or wrists of loved ones, any special day also calls for special jewellery.

Jewellery is precious and is one of the oldest artefacts of civilization. In fact, when you visit archaeological digs, you often see pieces of jewellery. Ancient civilizations already recognized the value of the jewellery. In some cultures, they are doubly more valuable as these are the only ones a woman can carry out of divorce. Not that this is what we wish for. We wish for the jewellery to strengthen the bonds you have.

The gold jewellery in the picture is the symbol of a good life, a beautiful gift for your loved one's birthday.

Choosing Jewelry for Gifts

When you choose jewellery to gift or keep for your own collection, start with basic designs. Both men and women, young or old, wear chains. Get yourself a finely crafted gold chain. You can get one in silver or white gold as you build up your collection. You can wear the chain as is or with a pendant.

Silver chains are also a good addition to your collection. For everyday wear, they are better. But silver needs to be cleaned regularly to maintain its lustre.

Giving your woman a beautiful set of jewellery on a special occasion is a fine gesture. The collection, in time, can become very valuable. We have read of historical accounts of women and their use of jewellery during hard times. In many cases, these are the things women would carry with them and these jewellery have saved their families from hunger and starvation.

Building Up Your Own Jewelry Collection

As you build up your jewellery collection, move from the basic to special jewellery sets. Choose something that goes well with a number of your party outfits so you can wear them several times. Having this set in your collection will give it more value and you can pass this on to your children.

You can have jewellery set in your birthstone. Start with this and build it up as you have the resources. Make sure you have one set in pearls.
