The Ross-Simons Jewelers Holiday Gift Guide
Gifts at Every Conceivable Price Point From under $100 to the Ultimate in Luxury Jewels
Online, December 7, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Remember when holiday shopping was fun and exciting? This season Ross-Simons is putting the joy back into gift-giving with a tremendous assortment of jewelry and gifts at truly phenomenal price points. Choose from breathtaking diamonds, colorful gemstones, one-of-a-kind estate jewels, classic gold and silver jewelry and well-known designer jewelry. The best news of all: the values are up to 75% below regular retail prices. Now that's a holiday dream come true.
'Tis the Season to Genuinely Sparkle
"We are so pleased to offer our customers such an extensive selection of gifts this year," states Darrell Ross, the President and CEO of Ross-Simons. "Every day we feature an online 'super deal' that represents an amazing value. Our goal is to make holiday shopping a truly enjoyable experience. After all, there is nothing quite like finding that incredible bargain."
This year jewelry trends run the gamut from big and bold to sparkling and colorful. Diamonds are back in the spotlight. What looks modern: diamonds paired with white gold; wide diamond knot rings (mixed with sterling silver, rose gold or all diamonds); black diamond necklaces. In terms of earrings, long linear styles make an instant fashion statement. Try a mix of diamonds, gemstones and pearls. Playing dress-up has never been so easy.
Keep in mind high style doesn't necessarily mean high prices. In fact, there are so many options under $100: dangling emerald earrings in sterling silver; blue topaz stud earrings, freshwater pearl necklaces, tassel earrings and sets of five gold tone bangle bracelets are just a few great gift ideas. Stocking stuffers shimmer and shine; consider Swarovski crystal pens in brilliant jewel tones, floral pendants or silver bracelet charms. It's fun to think outside the stocking.
Colored gemstones are one of the most exciting jewelry trends this holiday season. Anything purple is sure to be a hit; huge amethyst cocktail rings are all the rage. Indulge in brilliantly colored "over the rainbow" stones: aquamarine stones, garnets, sapphires, rubies and emeralds. And let's not forget the timeless appeal of the classics. Cultured pearls necklaces, elegant gold bracelets and diamond hoop earrings just never go out of style.
Estate jewelry is soaring in popularity. You can find extremely beautiful and unique items, rich in detailing and designed with superb craftsmanship. For the consummate bargain lover, it's hard to resist the lure of vintage jewelry. Gold, diamonds, pearls, watches and semi precious gems - these are investment pieces that will only increase over time.

Home for the Holidays
Whether you're in decorating mode or searching for the ultimate hostess gift, holiday home decor has its own special glow. Ornaments are always a welcome present; crystal stars and snowflakes set the mood. Gold crystal goblets, boxed wine accessories and a vintage beverage dispenser show your creative side. Hand-blown bowls from Italy are fabulous ways to say "thank you." They come in beautiful shades of red, purple and green, each adorned with flecks of silver sparkles.
What's A Guy to Do
It's a fact: most women love to shop. Men, not so much. As a result, gift-giving can often be a bit overwhelming for the men in your life. Here are five tips for finding that perfect present:
Go for the sparkle; diamonds really are forever
When in doubt, rely on the classics: cultured peal necklace, gold bangle bracelet or diamond studs
Bigger is better; huge cocktail rings or long dangling earrings are the "in" fashion trends
One is never enough. Add to her collection with a bangle bracelet, a diamond eternity ring, delicate chain necklace.
Consider a gift card; what could be easier?
