The Ultimate Jewelry Gift Guide for the Holidays 2018 for Men and Women
LISA
In my experience, there's nothing as sentimental as a jewelry gift. Why is that? Well, quality, precious jewelry lasts forever. A woman cherishes the REAL jewelry she hoards away in her jewelry treasure box, and when she wears it, she remembers EXACTLY when and where she received it. Even the daughters and granddaughters end up knowing the story. Whether it's for Christmas, Hannukah, or a birthday, a beautiful piece of jewelry speaks volumes.
Do you want to gift something special this holiday season? For that jaw dropping response from the people whose hearts are the biggest gift you could ever have in your life, consider something from the following lists. The items below are all made to order, which makes them EXTRA special. I've selected my very favorite made to order jewelry items that continue to be beautiful and stylish year after year. I categorized it by the type of recipient and gave a couple of price categories.
Let your love shine this holiday season as you give a gift that speaks day after day, and year after year, about the love that you hold dear.
Gifts for the Special Women in Your Life
I'll start with a specially curated collection of jewelry gifts for women. From wives to sisters and daughters, every single woman you love is sure to treasure a gift dripping in gems and precious metals. Keep in mind that you can mix and match these items for the different important women in your life, however, this should give you a great starting point.
Jewelry Gifts for Your Wife
The most precious of jewelry gifts is given to the woman that has dedicated her life to the man she loves. Through sickness and health, good times and bad, she's willing to give him her all. Tell her how much she means to you with a glittering talisman of your love and chivalry, that she can proudly wear and pass down to future generations.My Top Choice:
