8. Birdcage Bridal Veil with Rhinestone, Crystal & Lace Floral Clip : perfect for the classic or modern inspired bride. This birdcage veil features fabric floral embellishments with glittering rhinestone, crystal and bead accents for that extra glamorous touch.

Unique and Personalized Colored Engagement Rings

When it comes to engagement rings you can break away from tradition and add a bit of color to your ring. How about an engagement ring that features your birthstone gem in a setting with diamonds? I think this is such a unique and fun way to personalize your engagement ring just for you. What's your birthday gemstone? Mine, believe it or not is January's birthstone of garnet and my birthday happens to actually be tomorrow the 26th :) Garnet is not only a favorite of mine because it's my birthstone, but it's a beautiful, deep red that looks beautiful when set amongst diamonds. By creating an engagement ring with your birthstone surrounded by diamonds, you are creating a personal and one of a kind ring. Below is a sampling of some rings featuring garnet along with the birthstone for September and November {couldn't help it - those are the months my 2 daughters were born in}.

And, of course if you are looking for the perfect anniversary gifts{hint, hint to the guys} you may consider a birthstone necklace or even gemstone earrings.

Show your love this Valentine's Day with the Double Infinity Insignia

This Valentine's Day, Helzberg Diamonds is ready to help you celebrate all types of love, from romantic to unconditional and you can say "I Love You" without the standard holiday heart. The INFINITY X INFINITY jewelry collection is an exclusive line created for Helzberg Diamonds and is inspired by ABC’s hit TV show Revenge. The collection, created by award-winning jewelry designer Udi Behr, emphasizes the double infinity insignia to symbolize infinite love. I can't think of a more perfect way to say "I love you".

Like the mantra of the lead character Emily Thorne's father’s, "I love you infinity times infinity" - the jewelry created with this symbol is the ideal gift solution for Valentine's Day. Think of it as the jewelry to celebrate love but with a modern twist. There are 21 pieces in the INFINITY X INFINITY jewelry collection including earrings, necklaces, rings and bracelets that range in price from $49.99 to $999.99 so you can be sure to find the perfect gift on any budget this Valentine's Day. While this collection was inspired by the tv show Revenge, you can certainly enjoy the Helzberg INFINITY X INFINITY collection whether you're a fan of the show or not, or in my case, have never even watched it.

PS: Even though I am now a lucky owner of the Diamond Pendant in Sterling Silver {which I do have to say is beautiful in person and superbly crafted}, the views expressed in this post are my own.
