Jewelry Traditions: Advice on Selecting the RIght Jewelry which will Last for Generations

Traditions speak to the deepest part of us. Part memento, part emotion—traditions are a way to call on the past to help us face and embrace the future.

Therefore, jewelry traditions are doubly powerful because of the beauty and thoughtfulness that goes into a gift of jewelry. Two types of jewelry which traditions are built around are charm bracelets and birthstone jewelry. Regardless of the occasion, charms and birthstones are a beautiful way to give a personal gift which will be enjoyed for years.

Cirque Jewels has a unique selection of both birthstone jewelry and charms.

Birthstones

Gemstones have been associated with certain months of the year as far back as the 1st century. For thousands of years, these precious and semi-precious gemstones are given for good luck and remembrance of the recipient’s birth month.

Cirque Jewels outlines each month’s traditional birthstone here. Once you know your loved one’s birth month, you can easily search for beautiful, hand-crafted pieces of jewelry featuring her birthstone.

A wide variety of regal amethyst stones are the perfect gift for a wife born in February. Or both mother and daughter would celebrate a May birth with Cirque Jewel’s 14K White Gold and Emerald Shoe pendant from the “Little Feet” collection. All the other month’s birthstones—from garnet to topaz—are featured at Cirque Jewels.

Once you have began the tradition of giving a birthstone jewelry piece for her birthdays and other major events, you will always know what to give her next year—another birthday ring, earring, necklace, bracelet or brooch. Whichever piece you choose, you will be giving a colorful gift of love which is both personal and part of a tradition.

Charms

Charms are another gift which is easy to give year after year. First worn in Ancient Egypt, they were worn to ward off evil spirits. Throughout history, charms have been worn for protection, identification, in remembrance and for sentimental reasons.

Cirque Jewels has array of charms and pendants to celebrate all of life’s milestones. The Secret Treasure Two-Tone Diamond Piano charm is ideal for a pianist or any music lover. The top of the piano even opens up to reveal a golden musical note! Or commemorate the birth of a child with a shoe pendant from the Little Feet collection. This simple charm is perfect for both mothers and grandmothers and its appropriate whether your baby is a boy or a girl.

And what’s more personal than a name? The necklaces in the Charmed Life collection feature capital initials accented with diamonds, suspended on 16” chains.

Whatever jewelry tradition you select, jewelry is a personal and intimate gift for a loved one—which issue to be appreciated all the more as the tradition grows. Cirque Jewels’ Silver Jewelry offers a wide selection of birthstone jewelry and charms for the perfect and affordable gift tradition.
