A gift of fine jewelry for Valentine’s Day remains a great way to show your love

THIS YEAR, JEWELRY-GIFTS FOR “VALENTINE’S DAY” REMAIN THE ULTIMATE SYMBOL OF WHAT LOVE SHOULD BE—PRECIOUS AND ETERNAL. AMANDA GIZZI, WITH “JEWELERS OF AMERICA”, SAYS THAT FINDING THE RIGHT GIFT IS EASIER THAN YOU THINK… “JEWELRY THAT HAS A SWEET SENTIMENT—LIKE HEART-SHAPED JEWELRY—CAN KEEP IT CASUAL, BUT VERY PERSONAL. EARRINGS WITH COLORED GEMSTONES ARE PERFECT FOR THOSE WHO TRULY LOVE COLOR—WHILE DIAMOND-EARRINGS CAN BE WORN WITH VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING. FINALLY, NECKLACES AND PENDANTS IN GOLD, SILVER, OR PLATINUM CAN STAND ALONE—OR PAIR BEAUTIFULLY WITH AN EXISTING NECKLACE, FOR AN ON-TREND, LAYERED LOOK.” ANY OTHER GOOD TIPS? “BE SURE TO SHOP WITH A REPUTABLE JEWELER—LIKE SOMEONE WHO’S A MEMBER OF ‘JEWELERS OF AMERICA’. THEY UPHOLD THE HIGHEST ETHICAL STANDARDS—AND WILL HELP YOU FIND THE PERFECT PIECE FOR YOUR LOVED-ONE, AND YOUR BUDGET.” FOR A LIST OF PROFESSIONAL JEWELERS NEAR YOU, VISIT “JEWELERS”-DOT-ORG; THAT’S “JEWELERS”-DOT-ORG.
