A very popular jewelry gift item this season is pearls. This is such a classic gemstone that has really made a comeback into top fashion trends. There are so many options out there but you really can’t go wrong with any pearl. A great option is a pearl gift set. Choose either a sleek and sophisticated Tahitian pearl or a traditional white Akoya pearl and run with it. You can find some beautiful gift sets that include a single strand necklace and a pair of earrings. If you want to go simple, this is the perfect gift set to choose. There are even some great alternatives to a classic white pearl like lavender or peach.
If you want to step it up a bit this holiday season, add on to the gift set idea. Find the perfect gift set base, like a strand of Tahitian pearls with single stud earrings. Then shop around the same site for a bracelet and ring to match. If you chose a single strand necklace, choose a similar style bracelet. Let’s say you found the perfect strand of peacock colored Tahitian pearls large in size. A great addition to a gift set would be a single strand bracelet with the same color pearls but a little bit smaller in size. Throw in a ring, like a large Tahitian pearl set in an 18 karat gold setting to round out the set. No woman could resist a gasp when she opens a gift box filled with beautiful Tahitian pearls.
Another great choice is the more classic Akoya pearl. It’s very popular right now to layer pearls together for a bold look. A great idea is to shop around online and find the perfect long strand of white, peach or lavender Akoya pearls and buy multiple strands. Pair these strands with a simple drop earring that has one pearl hanging down. A simple look like this is a great addition to any jewelry collection. She can wear both the necklaces and earrings with both business attire or out on the town. Wrap them together in the same gift display box for a sure fire hit.
