ooooooooo. Look what I found! Aren’t they absolutely stunning? They are citrine gemstone earrings– ever hear of citrine? I never heard of such a gem, so I looked it up:

Many people have come to know and love this stone under the name gold topaz, or Madeira or Spanish topaz, although in actual fact it has very little in common with the higher-quality gemstone topaz …the citrine is a member of the large quartz family, a family which, with its multitude of colours and very various structures, offers gemstone lovers almost everything their hearts desire in terms of adornment and decoration, from absolutely clear rock crystal to black onyx. And it does so at prices which are by no means unaffordable.

The earrings are at Gemz N Gold, a premier jewelry store based in California. If you’re looking for the perfect gift to knock your lady’s socks off, believe me– you’ll find it at Gemz N Gold. I found myself oohing and aahing. I think I’ll have to slip a few hints to certain members of the family. ;)

And don’t worry! Your purchases won’t break the bank! The prices at Gemz N Gold are very affordable. The citrine gemstone earrings I like are $85, not too bad! And there are a wide variety of prices on the most beautiful sets (rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, so much beautiful shiny stuff!). I spotted these green peridot earrings– guess how much these are? Would you believe they are on sale for under $40?

Gentlemen, you really can’t go wrong with a unique piece of jewelry for your special lady. Gemz N Gold has some really one-of-a-kind pieces. Every piece is made in the U.S.A. and Gemz N Gold offers all kind of shipping plans (including overnight, for you procrastinators). Check out their website at GemzNGold.com, or call their California store at (213) 624-8812.

OH. MY. GOSH. I was just browsing watches at a website (TheWatchery.com) and my jaw droppped open when my eyes saw this honking baby.

THAT, ladies and gents, is a real watch! Isn’t that the most gorgeous hunk of timepiece you’ve ever seen?! When I am rich, I’m going to get me one of those pretty pink luxury watches. My eyes are stinging just from looking at so much.

TheWatchery.com has more that gold-plated, diamond-studded watches. They have watches for the average folks, too! I’ve tried paying for those WalMart cheapos, and all I can say is… you get what you pay for. :-p Needless to say, those cheapo watches are being repaired more than they are being worn. If you’re going to get a watch, why not spend a little more and get something reliable? Keep in mind that a beautiful watch makes a great gift, too! Watches can so fun and so stylish. TheWatchery has a really cute selection of Ebel watches– including a funky one with large numbers (love it!) and a Mickey Mouse watch! The selection is huge and very, very impressive. The discounts look great and every watch is guaranteed 100% authentic. There’s a special giveaway going on right now too– get a free watch with certain selected watches! Save money, get a timepiece, and look like a million bucks. Sounds good.

Mother’s Day is coming! Have I got a perfect gift idea for you! Pearl jewelry! What could possibly be more feminine and more matronly than pearls? I don’t think there is anything!

I adore pearls. More than any other kind of jewelry, I think that pearl jewelry is most beautiful. It’s milky luminescence and soft curves are so feminine and so romantic. I disagree with the proverb that “a diamond is a girl’s best friend.” I think not! It’s definitely the pearl that is most beloved, in my most humble opinion. And pearls are precious because they are crafted by a living thing (oyster). It takes a long, long time for that little oyster to create enough spit around that grain of sand to form a lovely sphere of silky, glowing calcium carbonite! But once he’s done, he’s got a gorgeous, precious pearl! Since we moms love things that take a long time and that take a lot of work, pearls are precious. And since we revel over discounts and sales, check out ThePearlOutlet.com for discount– genuine– pearls. The selection is stunning and the prices are even more stunning. These pearl earrings are $59. That’s a bargain! I bought pearl earrings fifteen years ago at a major retailer and they cost $100. So $59 is a terrific price.

Also, oysters are something you can EAT so we women love the pearl even more! what could be more perfect than a seafood platter and pearl earrings? And how about the natural multicolor pearls, all strung in a lovely necklace. Oooo lala! Those are so expensive, but to a woman, it is the gift of her life. Pearls are just so beautiful.

Need a gift for Mother’s Day? Your anniversary? Boxing Day? Tax Freedom Day? We women don’t care what day it is. Red Lobster and ThePearlOutlet.com. What could be better??
