Unbelievable its not mine.....: Valentine's gems

So we've all heard the theory that Valentine's day was created such that merchants can have an excuse to sell more of their products to the hordes of lovers out there. And if you are a romantic, you wouldn't care about what the conspiracy theory is, you would go ahead and find a sweet gift for your partner/spouse/gf/bf.

I was telling my little brother lately that it's so easy to buy gifts for a woman. With few exceptions, women are happy to receive bags, clothes, shoes, beauty items, chocolates, and who can forget, jewelry.

Big earrings help frame a girl's face. Long earrings elongates a girl's face and work best when her neck is long (obviously, because of the length). Be careful not to pair long narrow faces with overly long earrings. Choose something modern with roots in nature for chic environment-loving urbanites.

For a girl with personality, give a gift of color. My dear friend A. H. loves green, a very earthy color to wear. Blue is soothing. Yellow is forward-looking and optimistic. Red is hot. Gold is glamorous. Orange is funky and stand-out-ish. Well you get the point. Plus, stones are important. Think about the energy of the person you are giving the gem to.

Well, if you want your gift to get tons of attention from others when your girl wears it, chose something that has an interesting twist, such as asymmetry in an otherwise simple piece.
