Give the Gift of Gold Jewelery to the One You Love

For all of us, special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries and the holidays are times to celebrate our love for one another. There is no substitution for love, so if you are looking for a meaningful gift to give to the special person in your life, you cannot go wrong with the gift of gold jewelery.

Traditional gifts such as flowers, chocolate or clothing are of course thoughtful, but when you choose gold jewelry, you are giving a gift that lasts a lifetime and one that shows how deeply you care. The sparkling appearance of a new bracelet, ring or necklace made of gold causes the heart to skip a beat and brings a smile to the lips. Gold jewelery can be worn every day as a constant reminder of the love you share with one another.

Fine, gold jewelery is something that is so precious that pieces are often passed on to other family members from generation to generation. Gold never goes out of style and it only improves with age. One of the nicest things about gold jewelery is the fact that it is affordable. No matter how much money you have available to spend on gold, you can select from varying weights which are measured in carats. The most expensive type of gold is 24 carat gold as it is pure gold with no additives. 18 carat gold is probably the most popular for gold jewelry as it is a mix of 75 percent gold and 25 percent silver or copper.

You can easily find gold jewelery at both local shopping centers and online. If you are on a budget, be sure to ask to see both the 14 and 18 carat gold pieces as these are the most affordable while still maintaining a large percentage of gold. Anything under 14 carats is considered to be 'cheap' gold. Stick with the slighter higher grades to ensure longevity and unwavering beauty.

There is no shortage concerning the types of jewelery that is made from gold. You can choose from lovely heart pendants with meaningful inscriptions engraved on the surface, or you can go with a stylish, delicate ankle bracelet made with several strands of fine, gold chain links.

Hoop earrings are one type of earring that never goes out of style. A big pair of dangling hoops are sure to please the woman who has a great sense of style as hoops can be worn when dressing casual and they are also ideal for more formal events.
