Beautiful Ruby Necklaces

Six months ago, my younger sister married her best friend in a beautiful, church ceremony. I was one of the four bridesmaids in her wedding. The bridesmaid dresses were short and black. The shoulders and backs of the dresses were made out of black lace. Because my sister’s color scheme was red and black, she decided to purchase all of her bridesmaids a gorgeous, ruby necklace to wear with their black dresses. These sterling silver necklaces contained ruby beads and crosses made out of white topaz stones. On this blog, I hope you will discover the best kinds of ruby jewelry items to buy the bridesmaids in your upcoming wedding. Enjoy!

Time To Start Planning For The Holidays: Four Jewelry Gifts With Lots Of Meaning

by Luis Cabrera

It's already time to start thinking about holiday gifts—especially if you plan on putting something sparkly and expensive under the tree for that special someone. If you're short on ideas, consider one of these four ideas.

1.) Stackable rings.

You're probably familiar with the song "The Twelve Days Of Christmas," which mentions five golden rings as one of the gifts received. You can play off that theme by buying five stackable rings to deliver the message that the recipient is your true love. Because the rings are meant to be thin and somewhat delicate looking individually, stackable rings can be highly affordable, especially if you opt for a mix of silver and gold and skip the gemstones.

2.) Heirloom stones.

The holidays are a great time to pull out that old piece of jewelry that's been sitting in someone's jewelry box for the last few decades and have the stones reset into something more modern. If you feel like it's time to bring your beloved into the family, talk to your jeweler about having the stones reset into a custom piece. You may even be able to reduce the cost of the piece further by reusing the gold from the original setting.

3.) Platinum pieces.

Platinum is an expensive choice because it is one of the rarest metals on earth—however, its white luster will never tarnish and stays the same throughout the years. This makes it the perfect piece for symbolic jewelry—particularly engagement rings and wedding bands. Its density also makes it perfect for a piece that is intended to be worn daily because it won't wear thin over time, unlike gold or silver. Platinum stands for purity, rarity, and strength—and its unchanging nature makes it a perfect for a symbol of true love.

4.) Snowflakes.

One of the most iconic symbols of the season is the snowflake, so why not give the person you love a piece of jewelry that's shaped like a snowflake? Talk to your jeweler about the price level that you're comfortable with before you start shopping—snowflake jewelry comes in styles that range from unadorned silver to white gold with sapphires and diamonds on the points. The message behind snowflake jewelry is clear: you think that your beloved is really one of a kind, someone who could never be duplicated by another.

Finding the right piece of jewelry for your favorite person this holiday season isn't hard, but it can take a little pre-planning if you're on a budget or looking for something special. Many jewelry stores are already starting their holiday layaway programs, which can help you avoid having to struggle to pay for the ideal piece at the last minute. If you plan on tucking something really special in your beloved's stocking or under the tree, check out your local jewelry store, such as Feagans Jewelry Inc, today.
