Types of Jewelry for Your Wife

There are many special occasions where jewelry can be a great gift. From anniversaries to birthdays, you can’t go wrong with the dazzle of diamond alternative jewelry. While traditional diamond jewelry can be expensive and usually comes with no guarantee, jewelry set with Nexus Diamond™ alternatives is up to 80% less than mined diamond jewelry and comes with a Lifetime Stone Guarantee. This means you can gift your loved one the stunning jewelry she wants, without spending a fortune. You can also be confident that it’s of great quality, and will last a lifetime and beyond. There are many different types of jewelry beyond those that feature diamond alternatives. Birthstone jewelry is also a very popular type of jewelry as it’s personalized for the woman in your life. Along with these dazzling options, other styles like simple gold and fine pearl jewelry are also excellent choices.

While treating your loved one to jewelry doesn’t require a special occasion, it is appropriate for many big moments. It shows just how much you care and that you put a lot of time and effort into choosing the perfect piece for her. If you’re searching for a jewelry gift for a certain celebration, learn the best gifts for the most popular occasions.

Anniversary Jewelry Gifts

An anniversary is an important relationship milestone. Each one should be celebrated with joy and giving a gift that shows how much you care for your significant other is an excellent addition to such a special day.

Diamond Jewelry Alternatives

Diamond jewelry is a symbol of commitment, which is why it makes such a great anniversary gift. You can’t go wrong with a simple pair of diamond alternative earrings or a stunning charm bracelet featuring Nexus Diamond™ alternatives. The sparkle will capture her eye and is sure to communicate everything that’s in your heart.

For the fraction of the cost of traditional diamond jewelry, you can get a stone that’s D color (colorless), IF clarity (Internally flawless), and Ideal Cut for maximum brilliance. That kind of quality is found in only the rarest and most expensive diamonds. Her jewelry will shine for years to come and will never discolor or cloud. We guarantee it. With that kind of reassurance, giving the gift of simulated diamond jewelry is a no brainer.

Gold Jewelry

While sparkly gifts are captivating, some women prefer the simplicity of quality gold jewelry. Whether it’s white gold, yellow gold, or rose gold, each creates a stunning piece as an anniversary gift. Choose a few different gold rings to create a unique precious metal stack she can wear every day or the perfect chain to match her favorite pendant necklace. Either one is sure to surprise her in the best way and help you commemorate your years together.

Birthday Jewelry Gifts

If you’re looking for the perfect birthday gift to purchase for your spouse, look no further. We’re here to make the shopping experience quick and easy.

Pearl Jewelry

The woman in your life is unique and special in her own way, which is why her present should be, too. Pearl jewelry is captivating and can be an everyday adornment.

Birthstone Jewelry

Popular birthday gifts also include jewelry that features your significant other’s birthstone. Each birth month corresponds to a different stone- such as emerald or opal- which features its own distinct stone type and color. Birthstone jewelry is not only beautiful, but it’s also a very personalized gift that’s sure to put a smile on her face. To ensure you get the right stone, here is a list of the corresponding birthstones.

January – Garnet

While garnet comes in many different colors, it’s most commonly seen in the deep red hue it’s named after. The term garnet was derived from the word pomegranate as it resembles the color of the seeds.

February – Amethyst

Amethyst is part of the quartz family and is light purple. It is said to enhance your feeling of power and sense of wellbeing.

March – Aquamarine

The light blue color of aquamarine represents unity. Its name was derived from the word “aqua” as it resembles the reflection of a body of water.

April – Simulated Diamond

Diamonds are said to represent a commitment as they are a symbol of marriage. They are colorless and are of the most stunning stone options available.

 

May – Emerald

Emeralds are extremely durable gemstones that represent growth and healing. Their deep green color makes them the centerpiece of any piece of jewelry.

June – Pearl

Pearls are often seen as a delicate charm. They are said to bring clarity to the mind and are worn for polished looks.

July – Ruby

The deep red hue of rubies is captivating. They are said to represent harmony, although they were worn as a symbol of strength in ancient times.

August – Peridot

Peridot is light green and looks much different than emerald. It can be found in meteorites and an island in the Red Sea and symbolizes purity.

September – Sapphire

Sapphire also comes in different colors, but most commonly is a deep blue hue. It is named after the lotus flower and represents loyalty.

October – Opal

Opal can be an array of colors in the rainbow. It represents hope and is a charming stone for an everyday adornment.

November – Citrine

Known for its bright, golden hue, citrine is known for causing enlightenment and heightened awareness.

December – Turquoise

Turquoise is often blue or green in color. Since it’s on the rarer side, stones are often artificially dyed to resemble the color. Turquoise is said to impart peace on whoever wears it.
