Perfect Gift
Having trouble coming up with the perfect gift for that special woman in your life? Whether for your wife, your girlfriend or your sister, shopping for women can be a challenge. But a gift that never goes unappreciated and is considerably more personal than a gift card is a charming Tiffany
The charms handcrafted Tiffany come in a variety of styles and mediums, though gold and silver are the most popular. They are classified into groups and collections, such as "Love" which consists of hearts and the word love in many variations; "Tiffany locks" that has little heart padlock; and "Travel & Leisure" which includes some of my favorites --- some money and Tiffany blue convertible, a camera and 18k gold with diamonds, a sterling silver Eiffel Tower, and a silver and blue enamel scooter All in all there are nearly three hundred different charms to choose from. Some upscale charms even have moving parts, such as lids that open and close. The charms can also be engraved, either by machine or, for a little more by the hands of a skilled writer, with the recipient's initials, to allow even more customization. Boutique prices range from $ 65 for sterling silver discs based over $ 8,000 for two creations of Jean Schlumberger
If you do a Google search for Tiffany charms, you'll get more than 7 million visits. However, be aware that the vast majority of these sites do not sell genuine Tiffany charms. Tiffany does not have an outlet, or their charms never go on sale, in order to stay away from sites that mention something in those lines. Also watch "Tiffany Style" or "Tiffany inspired" --- again, not the real thing. The safest places to shop are either in a Tiffany store or on their website. Of course, it is tempting when you see the an upscale charms for half the price, but if you want a real charm Tiffany, or if you give one as a gift, do not fall for it
Tiffany charms are certainly on the pricey side, and few of us are able to walk in and impulse buys a bracelet together, but I think the collection slowly over the years is part of the fun . And as your tastes and likes change, so will your bracelet. If you build over a period of 10 years, it will become a bit of memory on your wrist. And economic value to boot
