The 2015 Holiday Gift Guide from Ross-Simons Jewelers

    CRANSTON, RI, November 13, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- What do women want? For holiday gifts, jewelry ranks high on the list. Perhaps it's because jewelry never goes out of style, it doesn't wear out and there's no such thing as having too much. That said, Ross-Simons, one of the country's leading jewelry retailers, is debuting its 2015 Holiday Gift Guide.

"This year we have put together an absolutely fabulous assortment of holiday jewelry and gifts," states Darrell Ross, President/CEO of Ross-Simons. "Our goal is to make holiday shopping as enjoyable as possible. Discover the very latest must-have trends as well as updated classics - all at prices up to 75% below retail. Clearly, the thrill of finding that perfect gift has never been easier!"

The secret to being a smart shopper: browse frequently! Ross-Simons adds new items every single day. And for values almost too good to be true, sign up for the "Daily Deal" emails. These incredible offers make the holidays shine even brighter.

'Tis the Season to Give Jewelry

Gold is the New Black: For understated elegance, gold wins every single time. The new Ross-Simons Gold Collection features gorgeous 18kt gold jewelry from Italy, gleaming 14K polished gold and delicate gold mesh. Timeless shiny gold hoop earrings are beloved by all. As is the gold bangle bracelet. Options include gold brushed geometric, textured gold, gold twist and gold ribbon bangles. Wear alone or stack together. Statement gold necklaces, especially Italian gold byzantine, run the gamut from double links to graduated sizing to longer lengths. There's something about gold that never fails to "wow."

Silver Lining: Sterling silver instantly adds contemporary flair. Think big, think bold. Cuff bracelets are all the rage. Consider the open zigzag cuff, the free-from wave cuff and the polished cuff. Two huge new earring trends that look particularly stylish in sliver: long fringe earrings and polished silver ear climbers. Both make a dramatic impact. The vintage-inspired Italian five-strand sterling silver beaded mesh necklace is soft as silk and so very versatile. Tie like a scarf or wrap like a bracelet - it's a great conversation starter.

The Look of Diamonds: It's been said that diamond jewelry is the ultimate holiday gift. Look for diamond heirloom style cocktail rings, tapered diamond bands, three-tiered cushion rings and pave diamond multi row dome rings. Imagine 600 diamonds in one ring! Cubic zirconia jewelry combines the allure of diamonds with exceptionally affordable prices. A 5 carat CZ ring for under $40? Now that's a bargain. Diamond earrings, such as the popular in-and-out hoops, sparkle day or night. And since the holidays are a time where anything is possible, why not take a look at the astounding 10 Carat Diamond Collection? A girl can dream, after all.

Trending Now: For fashion-lovers the best new jewelry trends include cultured pearl fringe necklaces, front-back earrings, cuff bracelets, multi-row rings and ear crawlers in every conceivable finish. Personalized jewelry is big, even though mini letters are having the most impact. Case in point: mini initial necklaces, in 14K gold or sterling silver, are perfect for women of all ages. Jewelry sets with multiple pieces reinforce the adage that "more is definitely better." Last, but certainly not least, remember that children's jewelry always constitutes a very special gift. Heart lockets, birthstone necklaces and charm bracelets are keepsake items, often passed down from generation to generation.

Past Perfect: One-of-a-kind estate jewelry is in a class all its own. The exquisite workmanship of years gone by is often extraordinary. Estate birthstone pieces such as necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets make very special gifts. Opt for sapphire and diamond drop earrings, amethyst and cultured pearl necklaces, emerald and diamond cocktail rings, a ruby and bangle bracelet and vintage blue topaz rings. Heart jewelry, such as an open heart pendant necklace and the pave diamond heart ring, possess eternal appeal. And let's not forget the iconic bows and ribbons -- a vintage theme that manages to look thoroughly modern.

The Holiday Spirit: Stocking stuffers are a beloved holiday tradition. Sterling silver bead bracelets will surprise and delight. Gold ball stud earrings look festive and expensive, but in reality, some styles sell for under $40. Tree ornaments seem to get more beautiful, such as the Swarovski Crystal 2015 Christmas Star, the 6th edition Ross Simons 2015 Christmas Jewels and the annual Christmas Bells ornament by Reed & Barton.

Party Time: Glitz abounds during the holiday season and party jewelry is one of the easiest ways to create a memorable outfit. Glam it up with confetti necklaces, pearl fringe necklaces and pave diamond earrings. In terms of the classics, some things never, ever go out of style. Wear cultured white, black or pink pearl necklaces, diamond stud earrings, amethyst cocktail rings and gold bangle bracelets time and time again. Not to name drop, but the array of brands in the Designer Jewelry Collection is dazzling! ALOR, Roberto Coin, Swarovski, Mikimoto, Hearts On Fire, Gregg Ruth and Simon G are just few of the famous designers showcased this holiday season. Exceptional quality. Affordable prices. It really is possible to have it all.
