21 Reasons Why Jewellery Items Are The Best Gift Choice

21 Reasons Why Jewellery Items Are The Best Gift Choice... Ever Ever!

Here are the Top 21 reasons why Jewellery truely is the best gift choice, for almost any event. I have taken into account other gifts such as books, clothes, bags, make-up and perfumes and household items such as picture frames, vases etc. The only other gift to top jewellery is surprise holidays... Oh yes pleeeease!

So the pros for the above list of gifts is the fact that they can be lovely and enduring, obviously the choice is endless and they are all appreciated by the individual recieving the gift, especially if you know their choices and preferences. However most of these items you will eventually throw away, as they grow old and tatty, or you have grown out of them. Clothes go in and out of fashion, beauty products are also prone to going off and having a limited shelf life. Perfumes - what smells good on your mate might not smell so great on you, and most of us go through phases where we like a fragrance for a while and then find something else we prefer. Books, picture frames and household items are the kind of gifts you give to someone if you don't know then too well, a kind of last option gift or a less personal item.

So here goes 21 reasons why jewellery is the best gift option:

1. There are millions of styles and colours. You will never lack choice when purchasing diamond jewellery, designer watches, unique gemstone jewellery, luxury engagement rings or any other type of jewellery.
2. Long life - no shelf life - Jewellery if looked after well, cared for, cleaned regularly and stored in appropriate jewellery storage such as jewellery boxes or jewellery rolls will not go off or loose its lustre and shine.
3. Jewellery can be passed on to loved ones, even inexpensive jewellery is appreciated and can be worn and adored by a completely new crowd of jewellery admirers. Expensive jewellery naturally become heirlooms and retain or increase value over time.
4. Gold, diamonds and platinum, for example retain and even increase in value over time. Recently the cost of silver is increasing considerably making most jewellery worth purchasing.
5. Jewellery can be purchased at any budget range from a few £ for small charms to hundreds of thousands for unique gemstones and individual one-off peices.
6. There are numerous variations, in other words, jewellery is not just 1 million different types of necklace. Jewellery is anything that adorns the body, ranging from anklets for the ankles to tikka's for the head.
7. Children are given silver jewellery when they are young to bring cool and comfort to them. In India this metal is linked with the cooling healing properties of the moon.
8. The gemstones used in jewellery are believed to have healing, restorative and prosperity producing effects. This is particularly true in the Hindu culture where gemstones are worn to improve the chances of finding a partner, business and financial abundance and spiritual growth.
9. You can personalise items for the person you are buying it for in terms of items, i.e. ring or watch or pendant. 
10. You can personalise jewellery in terms of first letter of names, birthstones and zodiac jewellery.
11. You can personalise jewellery in terms of the event or celebration that is being honoured, for example what you would give on Valentine's Day would be different for a birthday and different for Mother's Day, but the individual would be the same.
12. Jewellery is traditionally associated with prosperity, joy and pleasure. 
13. Jewellery is used in ancient cultures during happy occassions, and this tradition still exists for example in weddings and the giving of wedding rings and engagement rings.
14. There are numerous materials that can be used for jewellery, creating a multitude of options and choices, for even the most discerning jewellery lover.
15. Jewellery is often used as a reminder of our faith, Crosses, Oms and Buddha and new age jewellery for example, allowing us to show that we have a spiritual hertiage in an understated yet obvious manner.
16. Jewellery is used to improve concentration, meditation and spiritual depth through prayer beads and malas. 
17. Jewellery is not just for women, men and children also enjoy jewellery.
18. You can build on a jewellery collection, or start building an impressive diamond jewellery collection that can be passed on to your loved ones.
19. If you are on hard times jewellery can be sold to help you out. This is the original thinking behind giving daughters lots of jewellery as part of their dowry in older cultures. Should a financial issue arise their would always be a manner in which jewellery could be sold or held until finances improve.
20. Jewellery is always appreciated as you are seen to have gone for that little something more and if you have selected well, according to the likes and dislikes of the person you have brought the gift for, the effort you have put in will be applauded. 
21. And finally bling is bling and all that sparkles, sparkles and who does not like a bit of sparkle.
