Valentine's Day Gift Guide from Ross-Simons Jewelers

Online, January 15, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Women love Valentine's Day. They love the romance, the attention and, let's face it, the gifts. So why not give women what they really want? Jewelry is always a smart choice. With the new Valentine's Day Gift Guide from Ross-Simons, finding the perfect present is easier than ever. The collection features an amazing assortment of gorgeous diamond, gold, silver, gemstone, pearl and estate jewelry. Best of all: the price points are incredibly affordable.

"We have put together a very special collection for Valentine's Day," notes Darrell Ross, president/CEO of Ross-Simons. "This is the day to show that special someone how much you care. Clearly, jewelry remains the perfect present in my book." Ross added, "The secret to successful gift-giving is to find memorable items that capture the personality of the gift recipient. And if you can get an amazing bargain in the process, that's an added bonus."

Love Makes the World Go Round
Diamond Dreams: The brilliant allure of diamonds is irresistible. The diamond necklace is often considered to be the quintessential gift. Go for stunning simplicity with a diamond solitaire pendant or opt for casual elegance with a diamond station necklace. Bow motifs add a touch of whimsy. Choose a diamond bow bangle bracelet, gemstone bow earrings or a diamond bow ring for a dose of old-world glamour. This year's gift guide also features some extraordinary diamond creations: a 7.40 carat multi-row cuff bracelet in 18kt white gold and a 5.85 carat round diamond bracelet are among the spectacular offerings. A girl can dream, after all.

Follow Your Heart: Heart jewelry is a truly romantic gift. The options range from tasteful gold and silver heart pendants to delicate heart charm bracelets to huge heart cocktail rings. Heart earrings never seem to go out of style: look for gemstone heart studs, diamond drop earrings or classic yellow heart-shape gold hoops. And let's not forget the heart charm bracelet - a welcome gift for girls of any age. Monogrammed charms, all the rage for spring, take the art of personalization to a whole new level.

Forever Yours: What better time to celebrate a life together than on the most romantic day of the year? Today there are so many beautiful engagement and wedding rings. Some of the most engaging: diamond solitaire rings in a variety of settings, diamond cluster rings and gemstone engagement rings. For the big day, say "I do" with breathtaking eternity rings; match the engagement ring or choose a different design. Sometimes, opposites do attract. Try cubic zirconia for a dazzling ring that only looks expensive: a 3.8 carat CZ wide-band ring can be found for under $100!

Seeing Red: Red, pink and purple are popular colors for Valentine's Day. And this spring these vivid hues are high on the fashion radar. Look for such vibrant gemstones as pink topaz, ruby, garnet, amethyst, pink topaz, morganite, tourmaline and rhodolite. The colorful stones create modern jewelry that is absolutely stunning. A few stylish choices: oversized morganite and diamond rings, pink topaz and diamond drop earrings, pink tourmaline and diamond pendants. Mosaic gemstone jewelry, one of the newest trends in jewelry today, is also one of the prettiest. These pieces are a virtual kaleidoscope of stones, colors and shapes.

Pearls of Wisdom: Pearls are a thoroughly modern accessory. Whether one wears pearls alone, pearls with diamonds or clusters of pearls, pearl jewelry pulls together an entire outfit. What's back in style: cultured pearl multi-strand necklaces, cultured pearl bracelets with gold clasps and pearl and diamond earrings. Classic, but definitely not simple.
