Ross-Simons Jewelers Holiday 2013 Gift Guide

CRANSTON, R.I. - Nov. 12, 2013 - PRLog -- Truth be told, holiday shopping is not always a joyous experience. In fact, the challenge of finding the “perfect” gift can be daunting for even the best of shoppers. This season, let Ross-Simons be your guide. The new holiday collection (http://www.ross-simons.com/1/all/christmas,gifts/navigate.jsp) features an amazing selection of jewelry and gifts at phenomenal price points. Gorgeous diamonds in stunning settings. Vibrant colored gemstones. Fabulous statement pieces. Monogrammed collectibles and updated gold and silver. Best of all: each and every item reflects Ross-Simons’ legendary value pricing.

“Our holiday gift guide showcases exciting new designs and trends,” explains Darrell Ross, President/CEO of Ross-Simons. “Shopping online, through our catalogs or in our stores is easy and enjoyable. Moreover, we’re offering truly spectacular items at prices well below retail. Now that’s a combination hard to resist.”

The “A” List

Good as Gold:  The appeal of gold (http://www.ross-simons.com/jewelry/all/christmas,sc152,sp...) jewelry knows no bounds. Indulge in timeless classics as well as bold contemporary pieces. For many women, the understated gold bangle bracelet is the ultimate holiday gift. Choose from an 18K Italian gold wide bangle, a 14K yellow gold slim curb link style or a gold woven Byzantine bracelet. The sizes and finish can be tailored to the recipient’s personal style. Gold hoop earrings, worn day in and day out, are perfect with jeans, career wear or elegant evening attire. And let’s not forget the allure of heart shaped gold pendants. Girls of all ages cherish these keepsake pieces.

Pearls of Wisdom: Elegant pearl (http://www.ross-simons.com/jewelry/all/christmas,sc154,sp...) jewelry is undergoing a revival. For a gift guaranteed to please, choose a cultured pearl torsade necklace (http://www.ross-simons.com/jewelry/necklaces/christmas,sc...) with clusters of freshwater pearls. This piece is the ideal complement to the little black dress or cashmere sweater. Pearl and diamonds earrings, hanging pearl pendants and stand-alone pearl rings take the concept of accessorizing with pearls to a whole new level.

Diamond Dreams: There’s a reason why diamonds (http://www.ross-simons.com/jewelry/all/christmas,sc155,special-collection/navigate.jsp) are often considered the most popular gift. After all, who can resist the brilliant sparkle of the world’s most precious gem? Whether it’s an elegant pair of diamond drop earrings or a stunning diamond ring, diamonds possess that “wow” factor so essential to gift-giving. Other shining examples: a diamond tennis necklace, a spectacular 5 carat diamond dome ring, a pair of diamond hoop earrings. Apparently dreams do come true.

Make it Personal: Monogrammed (http://www.ross-simons.com/jewelry/all/monogram/navigate.jsp) jewelry and accessories reflect planning and forethought, thereby making the gift much more special. In terms of jewelry, consider monogrammed silver and gold pendants and ID bracelets. Personalized baby cups grace a child’s room for years to come – a decorative memento that commemorates a very special day. For men, the monogrammed money clip or cuff-links combine fashion and function.

Genuine Gemstones:  Gemstone (http://www.ross-simons.com/jewelry/all/christmas,sc153,special-collection/navigate.jsp) jewels are adored by fashion lovers the world over. The huge cocktail ring, an absolute show-stopper, is breathtaking with such stones as blue topaz, aquamarine, citrine, amethyst and morganite, to name just a few. Keep in mind looks can be deceiving: five carat gemstone rings are surprisingly affordable; many are priced under $200! Dazzling gemstone drop earrings will be the only accessory needed for holiday parties this year – stunning with the off-the-shoulder dress that is so prevalent on the Red Carpet. What’s new: three stone garnet drop earrings, blue topaz and diamond drops and green amethyst linear drop earrings. While gemstone necklaces add a dose of old world glamour, make no mistake: they are the very essence of modern dressing.

Most Popular:  A smart shopper knows the value of customer ratings (http://www.ross-simons.com/jewelry/all/toprated/navigate.jsp). In reality, giving a gift that has received high marks can be a tremendous help to shoppers. Browse Ross-Simons’ top rated jewelry and gifts to discover what others have to say.

Home for the Holidays: Christmas ornaments (http://www.ross-simons.com/collectibles/christmas-ornaments/christmas/navigate.jsp) are a wonderful way to commemorate the year. Some of the most sought-after collectables: the 2013 Swarovski Crystal Annual Crystal Star, the 2013 Waterford Annual Crystal Pierced Snowflake and the 2013 Reed and Barton Annual Silverplate Holly Bell. For holiday entertaining (http://www.ross-simons.com/home/all/christmas,special-collection/navigate.jsp), display mouth-watering foods on enamel infused with crushed mother of pearl. Choose from trays, stands and bowls in vivid colors like raspberry, hydrangea, peony and buttercream. Clearly, it’s all in the presentation.
