Finding the Perfect Anniversary Gift

With regard to anniversary gifts, one of the most popular options, especially for husbands, is purchasing diamond jewelry. This is because, as the saying goes, “diamonds are a girl’s best friend.” Therefore, buying your wife diamond jewelry for your wedding anniversary is one of the safest and most reliable bets for an anniversary gift.

However, buying your wife diamond jewelry does not only involve going to a jewelry store or shopping online. This is because there are a number of things you should consider when buying wedding anniversary gifts, such as diamonds, to ensure that you are getting good quality. In addition, the high cost of diamonds requires that you take the necessary steps to make sure that you are getting good value for your money. There is much more meaning to that diamond, gold or gemstone piece than its cost or how much it sparkles.

When going to your jeweler or shopping online, keep in mind your wife’s preferences. Does she like white gold, yellow gold, platinum, or silver? If she’s small, it’s important to purchase something that will complement her beauty, not overwhelm it. Unless you know her jewelry style very well, play it safe. Go for elegant over flashy. Many jewelers will create custom anniversary gifts and pieces that are as unique as this special occasion.

Things to Look For When Shopping

Make sure and check the four C’s: cut, color, clarity, and carat; when purchasing your anniversary bands. These are a great addition to already existing wedding bands. They are actually called value factors. Perhaps a little known fact that these four basic characteristics apply to diamonds and colored gemstones. And it’s no wonder the bridal business remains crucial, given the correlation between marital status and the most expensive jewelry owned. While nearly 38 percent of single consumers said their most expensive item costs under $250, more than half of married respondents owned jewelry worth $1,000 or more.

What You Shop For

  • Convenience is a big factor in terms of where consumers shop for jewelry.
  • Cost is another key consideration, especially for jewelry consumers with less discretionary income.
  • Finding jewelry that works with her wardrobe is also crucial which include designer, trendy and traditional pieces.
  • Accessorize! Many women like to wear jewelry to accessorize outfits. In terms of what they like, many say that they are usually inspired by jewelry that they see while flipping through women’s magazines such as Bride or Oprah.

Make it Memorable

Even as many women consider jewelry a great fashion accessory, there is still a strong link between the pieces of jewelry they own and the story behind each one. Some feeling about anniversary is sentimental value, emotional value, and the beauty and style of the jewelry. Your celebration should be something out-of-the ordinary that makes a statement about what she means to you and what you mean to each other. Big or small, there are endless romantic ways to recognize the years you have shared, and plan to share, with your wife. Give your love something that beauty can’t even compare to. White Flash’s anniversary ring series will take her breath away.

Whether it’s a diamond anniversary band that reflects your love and respect or a diamond anniversary ring that proclaims none of your feelings have changed, find the perfect anniversary jewelry from WhiteFlash.

One of the many perks to being a celeb is that you get free stuff! Over the weekend, I popped in at the Teen Choice “Mattel Celebrity Retreat,” where various companies, from Neutrogena to Southpole Clothing, were offering up their goods to stars making an appearance at the Teen Choice Awards, which airs tonight on Fox at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT.

While the celebs definitely enjoyed loading up on freebies (who wouldn’t?), they also took time out to do some good for charity. Chris Brown, LL Cool J, Drake Bell and David Cook, autographed the hood of a 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI, which is the company’s newest eco-friendly car. The Jetta will eventually be auctioned off with all the proceeds going to City of Hope, a leading research and treatment center for cancer, diabetes, and other life-threatening diseases.

Many stars (The Jonas Brothers, Jordin Sparks, David Archuleta, and Brenda Song to name a few) also signed new TI-NSpire graphing calculators, which will be donated to City of Hope to provide inspiration to children in hospitals — and to help them with their math homework! All of these celb’s also recieved jewelry by Whiteflash from their AWEAR collection which donates 25% of all proceeds to help those effected by blood diamonds in South Africa.
