Making an Impression: Choosing the Perfect Gift for the Lady in Your Life

The truth is that most women are very difficult to shop for. Not that it’s her fault, but women tend to have a style of their own which can be a challenge when you are faced with having to select a birthday present, a Mother’s Day gift, or something special for Christmas. You could always go with a generic gift card to a restaurant or a clothing store, but somehow that is lacking in the area of a special, well thought out gift. No matter how old we are we will always want to impress mom or our wives with something that stands out. Forget clothing as the ideal gift, it will go out of style and really doesn’t give the true message you are trying to relay. Every birthday or holiday is an opportunity to thank her for all she does and show her how special she truly is. This year, buy her something that she will use and appreciate.

 

For the women in your life, since most have more than one that they love and appreciate, jewelry is always the way to go. That should be easy enough, right? Walk into any jewelry store and you will be bombarded with hundreds of lovely and appropriate options for your wife or mother. From bracelets to rings, pendants to watches, the decision becomes no easier than prior to walking into the store. As you browse the vast selection, know that there is one piece of jewelry that is both elegant and timeless: gold hoop earrings. While this is something that we would normally consider for someone who we know has their ears pierced, ask about the selection of gold hoop clip on earrings. Here are some reasons to consider gold clip on earrings for your next gift.


























1. Gold hoop earrings are classy. Just as she is, these earrings are the picture of class. Simple yet elegant, she will treasure them every time she wears them. Their timeless design means they will not go out of style next season. Something too trendy is bound to go out of style quickly, and may just not be right for everyone. This is the perfect gift for anyone, as they are also available as clip on gold earrings. This is bound to become her favorite piece of jewelry, first because it came from you, and second because it is a style loved by all women. Show her that you know her so well and choose a piece that embodies her class.

2. Earrings are an affordable option. Contrary to what you might think, 14k gold clip on earrings will not break the bank. They are a truly affordable gift, and she will get her use out of them. This is much better than spending the money on a sweater that she might wear once and then sits in a closet, forgotten. When you consider what you spend on other things that she will never use, put your cash towards something that she will love.

3. Gold clip earrings are both practical yet special. Nothing is more versatile than gold hoop earrings. Choose a simple design for everyday use, or a more detailed and intricate design for something even more special. You will find that she is going to wear the earrings regularly, if not daily. If gold is not her preference, look for white gold clip on earrings, which are becoming more and more popular. The ability to wear them comfortably every day makes them practical. The thought that you put into the gift makes them extra special.

Don’t be restrained by the detail of pierced ears or not. There is something for everyone, and the best gift idea for that special lady this year are gold hoop earrings. A staple for every jewelry collection, select a style and type that is right for your lady. Whether you select regular or clip on earrings, know that she will love the thoughtfulness of your gift. Knowing her style select from gold or white gold to make them the perfect pair for your mom or wife. No one wants to buy a gift that will be put in a drawer or closet forgotten. Your special lady will wear her gold clip on earrings with pride.

Getting To Know Your Personal Jewelry Style

We all have our own personal likes and preferences. What we choose to wear regularly makes up our personal style. We carefully select our clothes, shoes, bags and jewelry, showing the world who we are. All of these things make a statement, it’s just a matter of figuring out what statement we want to make about ourselves. No doubt some things can be considered over the top, especially if you work in a professional environment. But don’t worry ladies, one of the easiest and most attractive ways to make a statement is with our jewelry.

 

The type of jewelry we choose says a lot about us. When we choose to, or are required to wear a more conservative outfit it may end up feeling stifling and boring. The solution is to dress it up with just the right jewelry to make it exciting. Here are some points to consider when you are selecting your jewelry tomorrow morning.

1. Go bold or go home! Think about trying a piece that is considered a statement piece. A larger or bolder piece stands out against your otherwise conservative outfit and gives you the punch you might be looking for. Look for a colorful necklace or bracelet that might look out of place, but in reality compliments the rest of your outfit. This doesn’t mean choose three bold accessories. Remember, there is such a thing as too much. A number of bold pieces will become overwhelming and distracting, so settle for one beautiful statement piece that you can wear in style.

2. Incorporate gemstones. While gold, silver, and white gold jewelry is beautiful, adding a splash of color with gemstones is always a good idea. You can really coordinate them with any outfit, and the color creates a bright spot in any look. Choose single pieces or wear a set of gemstone jewelry to include the necklace, earrings, bracelet, and ring. You can also wear gemstone jewelry alongside of other pieces to create a richer look. Never shy away from color, instead embrace the gemstones that you love or even represent your birth month. This is a great way to tell someone something about yourself without advertising it too loudly.

3. Go with the classics. If your style is more subtle and classic, then you want to stick to the classic pieces that are timeless. Diamonds and gold are literally every girl’s best friends. Depending on your personal preferences you can chose gold or white gold, and the pieces will be just as beautiful. The easiest pieces to coordinate are earrings, and every woman should own diamond earrings and gold hoop earrings. They are versatile and work for everyone, every style, and every outfit. They are always appropriate and easy to wear. You might say, “This isn’t an option for me because I never had my ears pierced.” If this is you then you would be wrong. There is a large selection of 14k gold clip on earrings at JewelBasket that will fit your needs. Perfect for anyone who has never pierced their ears but still wants to look stylish, the gold hoop clip on earrings are easy to wear and stay where you put them. No worries about losing them or feeling discomfort. Choose from a variety of styles that will look and feel like pierced earrings, and will give you the stylish look that you have always wanted. Gold clip earrings are not created equal, so make sure that you purchase a quality set that will last you a lifetime.


There are many ways to express your style, and these are just a few. Get to know your own look and personality and compliment it with jewelry pieces. Are you bold and fun? Do you enjoy pops of color that hints at your personality? Or are you a woman of classic and timeless taste? You might find that on different days you are all of these women. Choose jewelry pieces that will fit your style on all of these occasions. There might be events that call for different pieces, and you want to be prepared for everything. For every day and versatility make sure to invest in a good pair of diamond earrings and gold hoops, for pierced and non-pierced ears. You will find yourself wearing these most often since they go with everything. Finally, the ladies that haven’t pierced their ears no longer have to settle for anything less than gorgeous. You will find that it is well worth the investment.
