It’s fun to give jewelry — one of the season’s hot holiday gifts — but not if it puts you in the red. Sure you want to shoot for the stars, but throwing caution to the wind isn’t always so friendly to the wallet.
For those who have to reign in the budget just a bit, jewelry purchases can still top your list of beautiful picks in holiday gifts, provided you follow these suggestions for making the most of your money.
Explore alternative metals. While gold and platinum are certainly favorites, there are other choices if you have champagne taste but not the budget. For the look of gold without a high price tag, think about gold-plated jewelry. And always consider sterling silver, a versatile and affordable metal that can be crafted into looks for dressing up...or down.Think whimsy. If you don’t know what sort of jewelry to give that special person in your life, than you can’t go wrong with a whimsical artistic piece. Jewelry doesn’t have to be uber-expensive to make a statement and be noticed. Consider interesting pieces that will spark conversation.
Now that it’s time to celebrate, what better way to express festivity than with which earrings, pendants and pins?
