It wasn’t until I was well into my thirties that I discovered the joys of amber and the jewelry made from it. As a matter of fact my very first pieces of amber jewelry where a set of amber earrings and ring given to me as a gift from my husband’s mother.

Soon after receiving these gifts and after I had worn them a few times I realized that I was becoming very attached to them and began to value them more than any other earring or necklace in my jewelry box.

I began a collection which now, more than ten years later is going very well and growing every year. I promise myself a present whenever I travel and make sure I buy at least one piece of amber jewelry for every country I visit.

If you are looking for a gift for a young or teenage girl, it is very hard to go wrong with a jewelry box. Girls jewelry boxes make great gifts because girls and teenagers often have a lot of jewelry and they don’t always have somewhere to put it all. If they already have a jewelry box, they may have enough jewelry to put yours to use as well or they may even use it to store other accessories like hair elastic, berets and clips. If you buy a decorative box, it can be put on display just as other ornaments are. There is always a use for a jewelry box and some girls even collect them so don’t worry about buying a girl or teenager something that you think they may already own.

It used to be hard to find a good ring that a man would be proud to put on his finger. Gold and silver jewelry always looked a bit feminine and put most of us men off the idea of ever wearing such jewelry. These days we are a bit luckier because even though we are probably going to be forced into wearing a ring at some point in our lives if we are lucky enough to find a woman who will have us, we can now get a titanium ring which looks much more manly that the things we might have taken in the past.

Not only do titanium rings look the part but they are tougher than nails and if you buy a high quality one it will take all the abuse you can throw at it and still look great a couple of decades down the road.

Some of the most popular types of jewelry these days are hoop earrings. Women have been wearing them everything from evening dresses to casual blue jeans. They are the perfect earring for women with a slender face. The size of hoop really depends on the age of the women, hairstyle and other accessories. Large hoops are really more suitable for younger women. Older women tend to choose smaller and thinner hoops rather than large and chunky varieties some of the under 25 set like to wear. Women with long hair may choose to wear a bit larger hoop earring so that it can be seen slightly out from under their hair. Women with short hair can get away with any size hoop earring. Small hoops are better is the woman is wearing a necklace. If there are no other jewelry accessories then larger hoops might be the way to go.
