Boys use smartphones to check time and men use watches. This is just one of those marketing statements that watch manufacturers have been using to promote their products. Well, actually it is true because it is very rare to find a man using his phone …
Although beauty is in the eye of the beholder when it comes to jewelry, one thing is for sure, most of us love to give and receive a gift that sparkles.
You only have to browse a collection like the one you can view online at Gesner for example, to appreciate just how many stunningly diverse and attractive pieces are just waiting to be given to someone special in your life.
Never Be Afraid to Ask
Let’s be honest, the idea of trying to find exactly the right piece of jewelry that you want to give as a special gift, can strike an element of fear into even the most discerning shopper.
Following a gender stereotype for just a moment, it is more often the men who might end up making a buying mistake, simply because they were too afraid or wouldn’t consider asking for some help in choosing.
It often pays to ask for a bit of advice on what type of jewelry might be appropriate to buy, depending on the circumstance you are buying for and based on a brief description of what your gift recipient tends to like best, such as silver or gold.
If you are viewing items online, this is not a problem, and you might even find it easier to browse at your leisure.
All you have to do is pay attention and note what sort of clothes and jewelry they tend to wear most often, then try to find something that matches or at least complements their existing style choices.
Deciding What Kind of Jewelry to Buy
There are many different types of jewelry available, so it would help narrow your choices by deciding what kind of jewelry they might want.
Earrings are a very popular choice and this practical and elegant accessory can often prove to be a winning option if you are looking for something that is almost certainly going to be well received.
Rings are also an enduringly popular option and depending on the occasion, might be what you should be concentrating on looking for. A ring can often be given with a clear intention in mind, such as a symbol of love or the status of your relationship. If you are buying jewelry for a specific occasion or purpose, then a ring will often fulfill your needs.
A bracelet can work out to be an excellent fashion accessory for many occasions, so it is another choice that might work well when deciding what to buy. Try to buy a bracelet that is about 10mm longer than the circumference of the wrist of who you are buying for, so that it should fit them perfectly when they receive their gift.
Personal Preference
Some people have an allergic reaction to certain types of metal, with silver often being the one metal that can cause a problem if they have sensitive skin.
Do bear this in mind when choosing your jewelry, and also take the time to think about what type of jewelry they seem to prefer and then aim to try and find a piece that meets this criteria and is in your chosen budget range.

Urban and fashion jewelry is one of the hottest trends for jewelry in 2016 and it will be even bigger next year. Women every where are flocking towards this style of fashion jewelry because they can get some really unique looking pieces, stay on-trend, make a statement with their accessories and it’s affordable.
Let me introduce you to the urban fashion jewelry company called ONYX XOXO. When you shop this trendy jewelry store you’ll find beautiful body chains, ear cuffs, bracelets, necklaces, arm cuffs, chokers, charm bracelets, earrings, wrist bands and more! You’ll find jewelry in all kinds of different styles, something for everyone! Looking for a custom-made piece? They can do that too!
First up, the pretty “Hooked Bracelet Plated in 14kt Gold” is trendy but I definitely can see it turning it a classic or signature piece of jewelry. You can have the charm suspended on a 14kt gold plated chain or onto a leather bracelet cord. The one that we received is leather and I much prefer that look myself.
The bracelet also has a little extender and I believe it will fit up to a 7 1/2″ wrist or smaller. My daughter wears a 6 1/2″ and my mom a 7 1/4″ and it fit both of them just fine. You can wear this piece casually or dress it up for a night out on the town.
To coordinate with the bracelet is this very pretty fringe & tassel style necklace with a c-ring clasp. The “hook” pendant is in the center of four dangling tassel chains which really add some interest to the piece and helps it to stand out when you are wearing it.
One of the cool things about the necklace is that it’s adjustable due to the type of chain it’s made with. You can shorten it up for a more daytime look or wear it long & dangling for an evening look. Fringe & tassels are one of the hottest trends going in jewelry and accessories right now and you can totally get that look with this necklace.
Each piece can be worn on their own, but personally, I love them together. Check out my mom who is 67 years old who is modeling them above! They look fantastic on her…any age can wear them!
You can find these two pieces of jewelry along with hundreds of other designs when you shop at ONYX XOXO.
