The birthstones of the twelve months

Birthstones have accompanied people for centuries as personal lucky charms. They make jewelry a particularly meaningful gift, for example for a birthday or birth.

Examples of this are: Gold Heart Cuff Bracelet in Stainless Steel and Silver Circle Hoop Earrings in Stainless Steel. You can find more gift ideas in the Jewelry Gift Ideas category.

What do you get for which budget

What should you pay attention to when giving jewelry as a gift?

Except for rings, size is not an issue. And with the ring it applies: Those who do not know it for sure should not guess, but choose something else.

The person's existing jewelry reveals the metal color. Almost everyone wears predominantly gold or silver tones, and those who orient themselves by that are significantly more likely to be right than with their own taste.

Between 25 and 50 euros is the usual range for a jewelry gift outside of close relationships. Beyond that, it quickly becomes a statement that not every relationship should bear.

Two matching pieces appear more thoughtful than a single more expensive piece and usually bring the order over the threshold for free shipping.

Those who combine several pieces pay less per piece: 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 % from two, three, four or five pieces. Free shipping from 59 euros. Two matching pieces result in more wearing options than a single one.

What price is realistic for stainless steel pieces?

The price of stainless steel pieces is composed of material, manufacturing effort and brand markup, and you only notice the first two points when wearing. For stainless steel pieces under ten euros, the processing is usually the item where savings were made. The honest measure is the frequency of wear, everything else is calculation.

How do you recognize quality in stainless steel pieces?

There are three test points that reliably distinguish between solid and cheap in stainless steel pieces. Mobility without wobbling is the goal: Pieces should be easy to move, but have no play. Everything else, from the polish to the packaging, says little about durability.

What care do stainless steel pieces really need?

For stainless steel pieces, care is worth it above all in the places you don't see. Silver polishing cloths belong to silver, not to coated stainless steel, as they wear off the coating. Those who wear several pieces in rotation additionally distribute the stress.

When does wearing damage the stainless steel pieces?

Those who wear stainless steel pieces daily should know three situations in which the risk increases significantly. The most tension is created when putting on and taking off sweaters, more than during any athletic activity. The rule of thumb is: water yes, tension no.

What wrong purchases can be avoided with stainless steel pieces?

There are three points where wrong decisions are regularly made with stainless steel pieces. Often the person's existing jewelry is ignored, so the new piece doesn't match anything already there. A quick look in your own jewelry box answers most of these questions by itself.

How do you wear stainless steel pieces without it looking overloaded?

A harmonious look is created through gradation, not through as many pieces as possible. One striking piece is enough, everything else remains simple and only supports it. Those who stick to a color family can expand it anytime later.
