No one knows you like your best
friend. From that crazy party you went to in college to what you really think
about your boss, your shared history and secrets bind you together. With inside
jokes, late night gossip sessions and a shared sense of style, no one gets you
like your best gal pal. Such as unique friendship deserves a special gift.
When selecting a gift for your best
friend, keep her unique style in mind. The closest of friends usually share
aspects of their fashion sense. Look for pieces that let her embrace her
favorite looks and coordinate well with her closet. Not able to define her
style? Think back to what she was wearing on your last girl’s night, what you
hauled into the fitting room on your latest shopping trip and which pieces of your
she comments on.
For a really fantastic gift for your
best friend, show her how much you care by splurging on something she wouldn’t
buy herself. No matter which type of jewelry you choose, look for high-quality
pieces that are luxurious and impressive.
Friendship
necklaces
There’s no better way to showcase
your friendship than a classic friendship necklace set. The set contains two
chains, each holding half of a heart charm with a phrase, such as “best
friends” split across them. Each of you wears one of your necklace, proclaiming
that the two are half of a whole. A long held tradition of schoolgirl
friendships, versions with high-quality metals and upscale styling, such as the Nashelle Besties Identity Necklace are chic
enough for even the most chic of friends.
Inspirational bracelets
Ruby jewelry
The bright red stones are said to
symbolize friendship, love and an open heart. Rubies have also been long
believed to prevent and soothe quarrels between friends. Beyond symbolism, ruby
jewelry is a beautiful addition to any wardrobe and is more versatile that you
might expect. Look for pieces that blend timeless beauty with of-the-moment
trends. A pair of beautiful drop earrings, such as the Jemma Sands Ruby Double Drop Earrings, should do the trick.
Lapis jewelry
Like rubies, this deep blue stone
symbolizes friendship and truth. It is said that the stone allows the wearer to
be their true, authentic self and also encourages happiness and harmony in
relationships. On a more fashionable note, the rich hue is powerful, luxurious
and commands attention. The Janna Conner Round Lapis Earrings are perfect for casualwear while the A.V. Max Gold Spike Lapis Bib Necklace is a trendy statement that cannot be missed.
Everyday earrings
Every lovely lady needs a pair of
practical but beautiful everyday earrings. While high-fashion long earrings,
sparkling chandeliers and statement earrings get plenty of attention, there is
nothing that defines classic elegance like a petite pair of stud earrings. They
will instantly become the pair she reaches for day after day and she will love
that you were able to find something that speaks to both her fashionable and
practical sides. Look for pair of yellow or white gold studs, according to her
skin tone and taste. The Melinda Maria Hunter Gold White CZ Pave Studs feature just enough sparkle to be fun and tasteful while the Crystal Streets CZ Star Stud Earrings are a fun twist on classic style.
Hamsa jewelry
Sometimes called “hand of Fatima” or
“peaceful hand,” the hamsa symbol is rooted in both Middle Eastern and Jewish
cultures. The hand-shaped amulet, with three fingers pointing down and the
thumb and pinky curved outwards, is believed to protect against evil. It is
also thought to being good luck, abundance, health and happiness, all of which
are things best friends want for one another. Though the symbol dates back
centuries, it is currently a popular motif in jewelry. The Twig Gold Hamsa Heart Necklace is a
dainty piece that won’t break the bank while the J Weber Silver and Swarovski Peaceful Hand Pendant is a beautiful way to show off the style.
Evil eye jewelry
Similar to hamsa jewelry, evil eye
pieces are believed to protect against evil spirits and negative energy. With a
history that goes back to Sumeria and Middle Eastern cultures, evil eye jewelry
is also thought to bring good luck and prosperity. Though they may be accented
with a variety of colors, evil eye pieces often feature blue hues as it
symbolizes water to wash away negativity and bring growth. The Seraphina CZ Evil Eye Hoop Earrings put a modern spin on the look, while
the Blue Bijoux Gold and Crystal Evil Eye Ring is a bit more obvious.
Statement jewelry
No one understands her fashion sense
like her best friend. Indulge her by picking up a piece from her favorite
trend. While classic pieces that will stand the test of time have their place,
sometimes a girl just ones a fun, trendy, loud accent. Whether she’s into the
nautical look, boho or sparling crystals, take notice of what’s on her wish
list and what styles she is currently experimenting with and grab a piece.
