Give Her Birthstone Silver Jewelry She’ll Love

Are you looking for a foolproof way to choose just the right silver jewelry for a special lady in your life? Silver makes the perfect setting for each of the monthly birthstones, but if you want a little more hint about exactly what kind of silver birthstone jewelry your particular diva will love, check out these suggestions based on the characteristics of the month in which she was born.

January

January girls may seem frosty, but that’s just a façade that hides their simmering inner passion. They’re strong, loyal friends who believe in tradition. Your January girl will love classic styles with a long history, so look for silver bracelets, such as tennis bracelets inset with cabochon garnets, or silver pendants engraved with Victorian filigree.

February

February girls may seem delicate and sensitive, but they have spiritual strength that will carry them through anything. Their birthstone, amethyst, imparts clear thinking and insight, and encourages spirituality. Give her a pair of silver earrings with amethyst crystals dangling from slim silver chains. They’ll appeal to her New Age style and her sense of beauty.

March

March ladies have an affinity for water and strong emotions, and aquamarines fit them perfectly. With a color ranging from icy blue to deep, rich turquoise, aquamarines sparkle against a silver background. Just like their birthstone, March girls have a strong sense of individuality, so appeal to it with handmade silver jewelry. You’ll find some stunning silver pendants inset with aquamarines that capture the light and reflect it like the ocean.

April

Lucky April girls get to rock diamonds as their birthstone. They’re fun-loving and youthful, no matter their chronological age, so look for something kicky and unusual to please your April girl. Consider a pair of silver barrettes shaped like butterflies inset with pave diamonds to commemorate the beginning of spring.

May

Women born in May are earthy and real, sensual and practical all at once. It’s no surprise that their emerald birthstone is one of the toughest and most beautiful stones known to man, nor that it’s associated with Venus, the goddess of love and is known as the healers’ stone. Flatter the earthy May beauty in your life with silver rings, especially a silver Claddagh ring inset with an emerald heart to reflect her love of the earth and her loyalty to living things.

June

 June girls have a choice of three birthstones – and one of them comes in a variety of colors. No surprise there for anyone who knows a Gemini June girl with her changeable nature. While pearls are elegant and beautiful in silver jewelry, and moonstones appeal to the June lady’s mysterious side, the birthstone that will really appeal to most June-born women is the alexandrite, with its changeable nature. Look for silver bracelets inset with alexandrite that changes color from green to pink or purple in sunlight.

Choosing Silver Jewelry For Casual Wear

Silver jewelry can perfectly accessorize nearly any outfit you can put together, from a casual afternoon with friends to the most formal of occasions. You’ll find lots of advice on choosing jewelry to wear for weddings, parties and more formal occasions. Choosing the right silver jewelry to accent your casual style is just as easy if you remember a few simple rules of thumb about accessorizing with jewelry.

Silver Rings Go With Anything

You can wear silver rings with anything, but most fashion stylists will tell you to keep it simple for casual or office wear. Don’t overdo it. Only wear one ring per finger – with the exception of your wedding band and engagement ring, of course – and only wear rings on one finger per hand for office and most casual wear.

Which Earrings Should You Wear?

Silver earrings come in all sorts of styles, from simple silver studs to gorgeous shoulder-dusting silver chains with crystals and gems. When choosing earrings to wear, consider your face shape, the length and style of your hair, and the outfit that you’re wearing. Shoulder dusters look best with bare shoulders and long, loose hair. If you’re wearing your hair upswept or if your hair is short, choose studs, button earrings or short dangles. Keep your earrings in proportion to your face, neck and head – long earrings can add length to a round face, for example, but avoid them if you have a short neck.

Beautiful Wrists Should Wear Silver Bracelets

From charm bracelets to simple silver chains and bangles, silver bracelets have always been popular accessories for casual wear. Tennis bracelets, either plain or channel inset with your birthstone or favorite gems, are the perfect accent for any casual, sporty outfit and look wonderful on bare arms or short sleeves. Funk-ify your jeans and a peasant blouse with engraved silver bracelets, bangles and charm bracelets that jingle with every movement. Just remember that if you’re dressing for the office, one bracelet is enough. If it jingles when you move your arms, it’s too much for the office.

Silver Pendants and Chokers

Choosing necklaces, pendants and neckwear is easy if you pay attention to the collar of your dress or shirt. If you’re wearing a high neck or a collar that’s close to your throat, choose silver chains that are just long enough to place the pendant at the center of your collarbone. With a scoop neck or V-neck, choose silver necklaces that rest against your skin at least half an inch above the collar.

Silver jewelry is elegant, playful, flirtatious, simple, classic or fun – or all of the above. Choosing the right style and shape of silver jewelry to wear with your outfit is an easy art to learn, and it’s so worth learning.
