Mother’s Day Gifting

Let’s face it: Being a mom is a pretty tough job. Think of everything that you’ve put her through over the years. First, the late-night feedings and never-ending conveyor belt of diapers. Then, the tantrums, spills and relentless whys. Let’s just not mention the teenage years. Through it all, she’s been there for you, guiding, teaching and helping you become the person you are today. What does she receive every year as thanks for this all-consuming job that she’s had? A $5 greeting card and maybe, if she’s lucky, a phone call. Don’t you think she deserves a bit more?

It’s not that she just deserves more, though. It’s that she deserves something good! That being said, we present some good and bad gift ideas for Mother’s Day.

Here are a few options to stay away from if you’re looking to impress, not distress, your mother:

• Home goods. This includes vacuums, kitchen items, clothing irons or anything else that might remind her of the household work that she has to deal with on a daily basis. This is her day to relax, unwind and forget about all of those chores. If your mom is a coffee fanatic and you get her a nice espresso machine, you can make an exception. For the most part, stay away from the entire category!
• Electronics. Unless your mother is a passionate technophile, stay away from electronics. It’s supposed to be a day of warmth and caring. A new TV just doesn’t fit the bill.
• The same gift you got her last year. Show some initiative! I’m sure she didn’t give you the same gift card every year on your birthday growing up. Make it personal and thoughtful.

So now that you know what not to get, the elephant in the room is what do you get her? Whatever it is, tailor it to your mother’s interests and likes. Being thoughtful and considerate is the most important part, so if you get that right, she’ll enjoy whatever she receives. Here are some of our suggestions to get you on the right track:

• A spa day. Your mom deserves at least one day of being pampered each year. This is the perfect opportunity to ensure that it happens.
• Flowers. This is a classic Mother’s Day gift for a reason. A beautiful bouquet of your mom’s favorite flowers is sure to bring a smile to her face. Pair it with this exquisite crystal vase from Hamilton Jewelers to really up the wow factor.
• Jewelry. We here at Hamilton Jewelers have got you covered, no matter what type of pieces your mother enjoys. Here is a collection of our best gifting ideas for the special day. Whether she’s into necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings, watches or specialized decorative pieces, we have a plethora of fantastic options that will have her feeling loved and appreciated.

So please show your mom some gratitude this Mother’s Day. Show her thanks for all of the skinned knees she’s tended to, the hurt feelings she’s helped repair and the countless hours she’s spent helping you grow into an independent adult. She deserves more than one day. She certainly deserves more than a card.

How to Spice Up Your Wardrobe With the Pantone Colors of Summer 2018

With Meadowlark Yellow and Ultra Violet leading the color trends for 2018, according to the Pantone Color Institute, we have seen an interesting resurgence of yellow and blue/purple this year on the runways and on the wrists.

Each season, we strive to introduce the emerging colors so watch lovers — especially those who have watches with interchangeable strap systems — can be on the mark when they spice up their timepieces and clothing.

With summer not too far off, though, we are struggling because the season’s colors are — frankly — all across the board. Black remains part of the palette, used mostly as an accent color, and white is almost a staple (no surprises there). As for the hues of the season, they range from taupes, tans and dusty olives, to the bolder and more vibrant Blueberry, Poppy Red and Jolly Green. Festive shades of purple, yellow and blue also play an important role, as do the muted pale versions of the bolder siblings, with Pastel Yellow, Baby Blue and Florida Keys teal making a strong appearance.

When it comes to how this translates into your wardrobe, our best advice is to add a little color — any color — to spice up your days and nights. If you own a white strapped watch, put it on. Similarly, if you are one of those who own today’s great blue, green or brown dial colors — don’t be afraid to wear it. Don’t think you have to wear a blue suit with a blue dial watch. Mix it up a bit and try that blue watch with a brown suit — or vice versa. This summer is going to be all about sporting contrasting colors.

You Have the Perfect Ring, Now What?

Your fiancé gave you the perfect engagement ring, and now you have your matching wedding band for a beautiful, enduring expression of your love. It sparkles like your personality, and looks flawless on your finger.

Now, it’s time to complete your bridal appearance with the trifecta: a stunning pair of earrings, an attractive necklace and an accessory. Here are a few fantastic options that will help you feel and look your best on the most wonderful day of your life.

Earrings

Your earrings will frame your face, so they are the best place to start – especially if you choose to wear your hair up. There are many different choices of earrings that can fit whatever look you have chosen to go with.

• Those wanting a retro look fit for the ’70s should check out these 18k gold and mother-of-pearl diamond drop earrings.
• True to their name, these 18k rose gold and diamond statement earrings will make a bold statement. Wear them to emphasize your romantic side on your special day.
• If you are still looking for “something blue,” look no further than these 14k gold and blue topaz drop earrings. Whether you boast bold blue eyes or blue is one of your wedding colors, these earrings will blend right in – while standing out.
• These Celestial 18k white gold and diamond stud earrings present a classy, traditional look that easily complements your engagement ring and wedding band. Their simple style paired with their bold diamond clusters will adorn you without distracting from your face.

Necklace

Now that your ears are taken care of, you should think about what type of neck adornment works well with your earrings. Although especially important for those going with a strapless dress, every bride could use a beautiful necklace. As you examine options, visualize yourself walking down the aisle and wearing your favorite piece.

Five diamonds means five times more hushed whispers exclaiming “How magnificent!” with this exquisite 18k gold necklace. Each diamond in the necklace is joined to the next with platinum rings; the laser technology used to join the diamonds means that there is minimal metal backing, allowing the full vibrancy and brilliance of the diamonds to shine.

Shine like the heavens with Hamilton’s Celestial 18k gold and diamond necklace. It features over 2 carats of diamonds spread extravagantly across the neckline, with five large gems taking center stage. This necklace pairs well with a semi-sweetheart or off-shoulder neck, and is designed to match the Celestial earrings listed above.

Other accessories

Earrings and necklaces are two of the most important “non-ring” pieces that you will be wearing, but that does not mean you cannot accessorize further if you feel the need. We recommend utilizing bracelets to put the finishing touch on a mesmerizing bridal look. Whether you prefer the more ornate style of this arabesque cuff bracelet, the classic style of this gold loop bangle bracelet or the contemporary glamour of this gold and diamond bracelet, we are sure that you can find something that ties everything together perfectly.

Now you have a good starting point for creating a bridal ensemble that is as lovely as you are. It all comes down to your personal preference, but if you all of your pieces fit together well, you can create a look that’s truly special.
