Happy Stories From our customers

Many men are at a loss when it comes to buying a gift for their wives (no shocker, right?). This can often be a source of dissension since wives generally expect something personal and meaningful (again, no shocker).

Enter the anniversary ring, stage right!

Packed with meaning and romance, anniversary rings are an ideal gift. And for obvious reason: think of how she reacted when she saw the engagement ring you bought her. An anniversary ring signifies love and honor. An anniversary ring says “I would propose to you again today if I could.”

Our advice (which we can happily help you with in person or over the phone): choose an anniversary ring that pairs nicely with the wedding and engagement rings. Generally, women with simpler wedding bands like the added sparkly “oomph” of an anniversary band with a little more embellishment. Eternity bands are also a popular choice.

While some women will wear anniversary bands alongside their engagement and wedding rings, others wear their new anniversary band on the third finger of their right hand instead of their left. Others choose to wear the anniversary ring in place of their wedding or engagement rings.

Bottom line: don’t purchase any old gift for an anniversary. Make it count. This also provides you more leeway for future anniversaries if you just buy flowers and chocolate!

Award ceremonies are full of surprises. And for a rather non-surprising reason, if you think about it. Actors are creative types and like to flaunt non-traditional or trend-bending looks. It helps them stand out among a sea of other look-at-me’s on the red carpet.

Stand-out stars at this year’s Emmys included Jane Fonda (who is almost 80!) wearing an amazing necklace…backward!

According to InStyle:

And that necklace—she had to turn around for viewers to get the full effect because she wore it backwards. That’s right, the jewels—70+ carats of diamonds and 82 carats of emeralds—draped down her back right where the dress opened. According to Gismondi 1754 [the designer], the piece was indeed originally designed to be worn in the front, but “minor adjustments enabled the piece to cascade down the back as envisioned by stylist Tanya Gill.”

The takeaway: take some chances with your jewelry! Because aren’t we all stars on the red carpet of life anyway?

A friend of mine recently attended an Indian wedding. She decided she wanted to wear culture-specific jewelry (even though it wasn’t required). Afterwards she joked that it wasn’t that easy to keep in place, especially the Maang tikka which is worn on the head. 

Interestingly (after the fact, unfortunately) she found this video and shared it with me. Its fun to wear different types of jewelry but as always, consider the practical element so you can have a good time while wearing it!
