Easy to see Big Dial watch



Believe me, your Mom wants to look as hot, I mean, as fashionable as the next girl.  Here are 7 trends in jewelry and gemstone designs that you may want to seriously consider for a Mothers Day Gift this year:

• Big link necklace - check the couture fashion jewelry counter for the most sumptuous selections.
• Lapis lazuli beads in a bracelet or necklace style - the dark night azure gemstone with starry-like pyrite flecks looks very classy in larger millimeter size beads.

• Big dial watch - because face it, bigger watches are easier on the eyes.  Your mom will appreciate this very functional gift.
• Charm bracelets that are designed with bead charms - While the older type of bracelets with dangling charms isn’t going out of style anytime soon, nothing says “new” like a new jewelry style. Check out the selection at your fine jeweler.
• Morganite - view this springy looking pale peach beryl gemstone on your TV shopping channel.  The stone looks impressive in larger carat sizes especially when set in solitaire ring designs.
• Labradorite and Ethiopian Opal gemstone jewelry are also being heavy promoted this year. Both gemstones feature lovely and unusual flashes of light. Your mother may appreciate a gift designed with a relatively rare gemstone.

What About Jewelry Store Mothers Day Gifts?

There’s nothing worse than a dud of a Mothers Day gift that you hate to give because you bought it from a catalog or off TV and it’s too late to return it.  As soon as you opened the package, you were underwhelmed:  The gift looked nothing like you thought it would. 

Problem Solved!  Do gift shopping IN PERSON for important events like weddings, graduations, anniversaries and Mothers Day. Here are some important reasons why:

1. What you see is what you get;
2. You can see the quality and clarity of gemstones before you make a purchase;
3. You can get a clearer idea of the size, shape and proportions of a jewelry item;
4. You can immediately see whether the workmanship of the jewelry meets your standards.
5. Store staff can show you undisplayed merchandise that you may not have thought of before;
6. Store staff can provide educational information about gemstones and precious metals;
7. They can tell you if a jewelry style is age appropriate; and,
8. You can often get better gift wrapping for your bauble.

Sure shopping for jewelry amongst humongous crowds looking for a Mothers Day gift at the mall can seem like a hassle.  But your charm of a  Mom is worth the absolute best of your efforts.

5 Swiss Watch Gift Tips For Mothers Day This Year

Here's my tip sheet for  moderately priced women's Swiss watches.  Any of these watches will make a great gift for your Mom for Mothers Day this year:

1. Swatch Watch – This is the best bet if your Mom has a somewhat quirky personality:  There’s sure to be a matching Swatch style.  Swatch watches feature hot colorful designs, trendy materials and a variety of timepiece functions. Most models are flashy. Some are highly collectible, too! Swatches are priced to sell and start at $50. Beware!  You will reveal some of your own personality if you gift a Swatch. They're available at online stores.
2. Victorinox Swiss Army - This is a brand with classic Swiss styling that's priced in the $400 range. These watches feature a variety of dial colors. They're  sporty-looking timepieces good for night-time use and diving. This watch would also be very useful to a Mom who is a nurse or doctor. They're available online and in catalogs.
3. Wittenauer – Here's more classic Swiss watch styling with a serious business look, some with embellished gemstone dials.  Many Wittanauer watches are available for less than $200. They're available online.
4. Burberry – Burberry watches are my top fashion pick.  Watches from this design house feature the absolute hottest jewelry styles.  They’re great for the Mom who is a serious fashionista. Prices for Burberry watch models start at about $180.  Burberry is available at fine department stores and online.
5. Omega – Ok this is a luxury watch brand with most models selling for $10,000 or more.  But Omega also sells some beautiful timepiece models for about $2,000.  Omega designs feature serious watch styling for  serious women.  Omega is available at Omega Watch stores and fine jewelers. Omega does not authorize any online sales of their products. But Note: These same watchmakers also make the flashy Swatch brand mentioned above!
