'Tis the Season to Wow

Go for the Gold: Gold jewelry is the quintessential gift. For example, a yellow gold bracelet is timeless and never goes out of style. This season, fashion icons are favoring both the elegant gold bangle (there really is no limit to how many one can stack) as well as the classic wide interlocking link bracelet. Gold hoop earrings run the gamut from small oval shapes to twisted rope styles to large diamond cut hoops. The gold monogrammed necklace is always a good choice. In fact, personalized jewelry is one of the most enduring gifts of all.

Precious Pearls: Many style experts believe pearls to be the mainstay of a fashionable wardrobe. After all, who can envision the little black dress without an elegant strand of pearls? The single strand pearl necklace is understated, yet makes a strong fashion impact. And the multi-strand pearl necklace, with up to 12 rows of pearls, adds instant chic to any outfit. Pearls and gemstones combined together infuse little bursts of color - as well as a huge dose of style.

Holly Jolly Diamonds: Get into the holiday spirit with dazzling diamonds. A diamond necklace is beloved by all. Choose from bezel-set round diamonds (the settings enhance the outline of the stone, making it seem much larger) to delicate heart and floral designs. Cubic zirconia jewelry provides the allure of diamonds at prices that are almost too good to be true. At Ross-Simons, it's easy to find 2 carat CZ studs in 14kt carat white gold for under $100! These are the ultimate stocking stuffers. Diamond rings sparkle and shine like no other jewels. Some of the best - and the brightest: wide band pave rings, diamond "highway" rings with criss-crossed bands and the diamond eternity ring.

Life's Little Luxuries: Extravagant pieces of jewelry make exceptional gifts. One impressive option: a 3.7 carat oval sapphire ring, surrounded by marquise, baguette and round diamonds. This ring will take her breath away. Remember, bigger is better when it comes to statement bracelets. Another outstanding choice: a large polished 18kt polished gold link bracelet, with one link of glistening diamonds. Or perhaps a 10 carat diamond and white gold tennis bracelet is the way to go. Clearly, these are pieces to have and to hold - forever.

Glittering Gemstones: This holiday season, consider jewels that literally shimmer with color. Gemstones mix bold and bright hues in both traditional and contemporary settings. For instance, the gemstone cocktail ring is a trendy and popular choice among fashion-lovers. Just imagine opening a box with a dazzling 12 carat blue topaz ring inside! Good things do come in small packages. The amethyst, emerald, sapphire, pink topaz and citrine stones all make gorgeous rings that will definitely not go unnoticed. Gemstone earrings are perhaps the easiest way to add glamour to any outfit. Some popular choices: blue topaz and diamond studs, amethyst drop earrings or a pair of emerald and diamond hoops.

Party Time: Dressing up for the holidays captures the magic of the season. Keep in mind that special occasion jewelry can totally transform an outfit. White agate and diamond drop earrings look stunning at just about any gathering, whether a small family affair or a black-tie extravaganza. Oversized geometric rings set the stage for drama. Opt for a diamond bypass ring or a diamond X-shaped ring. Let's not forget that simple can also be spectacular: diamond drop earrings in white gold or silver will steal the show.

Deck the Halls: Holiday entertaining can be as effortless as displaying baked goods on a jewel colored cake stand or placing fresh-cut flowers in a beautiful crystal bowl. It's definitely the little touches that make the difference. Christmas ornaments are one of the most welcome hostess gifts; one can never have too many. Many famous-maker brands offer versions with 2014 engraved on the ornament. Surely these will be placed on the tree every holiday, in celebration of the "most wonderful time of the year."
