Guys Like Cool Stuff Too

Friday, November 27th, 2009

It tends to be forgotten, mainly due to taking the risk of sounding feminine, that men like to wear jewellery to accessorise just as much as women do. This is the first thing to keep in mind when your guy’s next birthday comes up, or there is a special occasion and you want to give him a special time piece.

Men have moved forward from the time when they just wore a bland-looking, functional watch that tells the time. Just as much as men now like designer clothes, they want one or more designer watches. The market of course caters brilliantly to this, and all the top clothes designers now also sport watch ranges. This makes getting the perfect gift so much easier for the ladies.

What to look for

If you really want to surprise your guy with a watch that he will absolutely like and wear, you have to know him well. Who is his favourite designer and what type of watches does he normally go for? Next comes your guy’s personality; gents watches have to match the personalities of the wearer or your gift will lie forgotten in a drawer. Bear in mind how modest or outgoing he is, in particular.

Come to ROX and browse the different designer categories, and you will find what you are looking for.  Once you have a shortlist of possibilities, you must think about where and how he is going to use that watch. Is he sporty or has a physical job, or is he a boardroom type of man?  Once you have these criteria in place, you will find the perfect gents watches amongst all the great offerings we have and your guy will get the perfect gift.

So What If Watches Keep Time?

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Women once had to cope with small watch faces and tiny straps that oozed modesty, or a scaled-down version of a man’s watch. This was due to a lack of market in watches, particularly women’s ones that were all about functionality. Now, like many other things, watches are a statement of fashion, and this tradition has therefore been broken.

Women’s watches today are bold, colourful and they make a huge statement. The fact that they tell the time is a fraction of the reason for their purchase in modern times. Women today revel in the sheer magnitude of choice they have when they choose a time piece. Today, women’s watches are accessories and pieces of jewellery that are highly sought-after.

Bold, elegant or glitzy?

Ladies watches have become a top accessory; you simply don’t feel completely dressed with the perfect time piece on your arm that matches your look, your outfit and your mood. At ROX we fully understand the need for women to have a watch for each occasion and cater to that with offerings from all the top designers.

Elegant gold and diamond ladies watches round off an outfit on a special evening out, or an intricate worked silver and steel watch makes your look extra smart. Women like bold and big watches that come in a myriad of shapes; rectangle and oval and curving around the wrist. The bottom line is that when you want to complete your wardrobe you need that perfect watch that tells the world who you are.

Flash That Diamond On Your Right Hand

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Isn’t tradition a funny thing; for centuries women allowed convention to tell them what to wear, how to wear it and when to wear it. This is very much so when it comes to diamond rings. As a woman you wore a diamond engagement or wedding ring on the ring finger of your left hand.

It showed that you are committed in a relationship or marriage. Today the tables are totally turned, and women go out and buy their diamond rings for themselves. It is no longer a strange sight to see a woman sporting a gorgeous ring created with fine diamonds and precious metals on her right hand. It has in fact become a complete fashion trend and women are making a huge, positive statement that breaks the constraints of tradition with right hand diamond rings.

Rings for all women

So, does this mean that only strong-willed, independent and unmarried women wear right hand diamond engagement rings? Absolutely not. You could be married, in a relationship, free as a bird and young or mature; every woman can wear a right hand ring with diamonds. You do not even have to be making a feminist statement or telling the world that you are strong and independent.

The majority of women simply wear right hand diamond rings because you can get stunning designs and styles. Men should take notice of this as well as you have a super gift opportunity here for women you in your life that you cherish.

A diamond ring for the right hand shows caring; it can have nothing to do with a relationship. Guys, a diamond ring or cluster rings for the right hand will be equally appreciated by a mother, sister or good friend to mark a special occasion.

Eye-Catching Murano Glass

Friday, November 20th, 2009

You have probably seen others wearing it and admired it, but you might not know that the jewellery you like so much is Murano glass. Well, it is making a firm place in fashion circles for itself again and for many it has become one of those must-have items that people simply have to add to their collection.

The interesting thing is that Murano glass is not new at all; in fact, Rome was using it as early as the 9th Century in their jewellery making processes, and over time Muslim and Asian styles have influenced these incredibly eye-catching jewellery creations.

Originally Murano glass jewels come from the island with the same name, which is just north of Venice. The great news of course is that you don’t have to travel to the island to get your own. All you have to do is come to ROX and you will find several designers offering these striking pieces of diamond jewellery.

Complete your wardrobe

What makes these striking pieces of art so versatile is that each piece is created in vibrant colour that will add passion and vibe to even the dullest wardrobe. Another great perk is that you can wear these creations with any type of outfit.

You simply have to match the design and colours to what you are going to wear, and this can be anything from you trusty jeans to a swirly evening gown. Murano glass jewellery simply never looks out of place, no matter what you are wearing. You are also not only bound to rings or one type of metal; you can have pendants, chain necklaces and rings and in both gold and silver, whatever suits you best. Visit us today to see our stunning range of diamond jewellery.

Completely Individual, Completely You

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

The old song goes about diamonds being a girl’s best friends; that can easily be said about all types of jewellery. The rules and etiquette of wearing different types of bracelets, earrings, rings and watches have all been booted out of the door.

The discerning woman of today wants her jewels to be as individual as she is. She will no longer be bound by convention and what type of trinkets and charms she can or cannot wear. She is no longer interested whether white gold goes with smart casual or yellow gold goes with that little black dress.

Women have rebelled against what convention has set out for them when it comes to what jewellery they should wear, at what times of day or night this or that piece is more suitable. There shouldn’t be rules regarding what looks good – diamonds are such an investment that you want to showcase them as much as is possible.

Claim your look

Whether you love to shop for diamond jewellery by brand name and have a specific designer that you prefer, or you shop by metal or type of design, it really does not matter. At ROX we cater to every woman’s specific needs when it comes to diamond jewellery. Whether you want subtle, elegant, and bold or one specific top designer, we have it all.

The new season’s trends in jewels are to be bold and to layer it, instead of being subdued. So whatever you prefer, mix and match styles and designs to your heart’s delight, there are no more rules about what goes with what. You take whatever pieces of jewels you like best and team them up and make it your own individual style.

Breaking Away From Tradition

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Tradition surrounds so much of what we do these days, despite the fact that we live in a modern world that thrives on contemporary living. Tradition comes into romance because it holds sentimental value, as well as family value for us. It makes occasions that bit more special.

Sometimes it is well worth breaking away from tradition in order to build on your own personal experience and the experience of the woman you love. Diamond rings are just such a case, as they offer you the chance to give the woman you love a beautiful and lasting symbol of your love that suites her to a tee. The best part is that you can find gorgeous and unique diamond rings for any lady right here at ROX, your one stop diamond shop for all the sparkle that you need.

Getting what she really wants

Not every girl dreams of big, chunky solitaire diamond rings that overpowers her hand. Sometimes she dreams of showing off a beautiful diamond band or a centre diamond framed by side diamonds. Maybe she dreams of a unique ring, unlike those her girlfriends are wearing, something that showcases her own, personal style. Perhaps she just wants you to pop the question with diamond engagement rings that are truly from the bottom of your heart.

Tradition is important in many ways, but it is also meant to be set aside in many others. Break away from traditional diamond engagement rings and give her something really special when you pop that all-important question to the woman of your dreams.

Diamonds offer timeless elegance

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

If there is one thing that diamond rings and jewellery offer you that no other jewellery can: it’s absolute timeless elegance. Rubies, sapphires, emeralds, garnets and all the other precious and semi-precious stones may come and go in and out of fashion. Diamonds, however, are here to stay and they transcend all fashion styles, occasions and trends, and you can find the best diamond rings and jewellery right here; with us at ROX.

Diamonds are forever

The saying ‘diamonds are forever’ was coined for a reason. Diamonds simply glitter and sparkle in that irresistible way, a way that other gems just have not managed to master. There are few things on earth that can damage diamond, so they do just about last forever. Diamonds in any jewellery simply embody romance and love, be it engagement rings, watches, eternity rings or any other diamond jewellery.

They make the perfect gifts between couples that want gifts of everlasting love – with items such as classic diamond engagement rings. At the same time, they also exude elegance, sophistication and class. Diamond rings and jewellery offer the wearer endless versatility as you can pair them up with both causal and formal wear and for literally any occasion, from a wedding to a baptism.

There are just so many reasons to choose diamonds over any other type of gem; they are simply the smarter choice when it comes to investing money in top quality jewellery. Invest in beautiful, timeless diamonds today for the family heirloom jewellery for tomorrow’s generations. Even better yet, invest in top designer branded rings and diamond jewellery for the timeless collectors pieces of tomorrow.

Watch Out!

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

Watches can sometimes be seen as plainly functional pieces of jewellery for both men and women, although women often indulge in timepieces that are a little more eye-catching. However, time is of the essence in everyone’s day and men’s watches are coming into their own in recent years. As they say, there is a time for everything and at Rox there are mens watches for every time and occasion.

Changing style

When you look at a watch, it is first and foremost a functional item. Secondly, it is a piece of jewellery and as such performs a role in your daily look – whether you think about it or not. What does your watch say about you?  The sheer variety available in men’s watches these days offers you the chance to kit yourself out with a watch to suit every look from formal to casual, sporting and even a bit quirky.

Long gone are the days of wearing a single watch for every scene of your life from home to work and play afterwards.  With a modest collection of stylish gents watches, you can keep time perfectly in tune with each and every outfit, occasion and mood. Branded watches from top designers are also available for those discerning men out there who simply know style when they see it and always want to look their best.

Contemporary, classic, genuine leather, precious metal, you name it and we stock it just for you and your time keeping enjoyment. Watches have never been so popular, so much fun or so much of a fashion statement before, especially not for men. Go ahead; indulge your superior sense of style with designer watches.

Make A Statement With Your Diamond Jewellery

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

Forget about subtle diamond jewellery that others could only admire when they were standing face to face with you. Trends in what women are choosing to adorn their bodies with have changed; shouldn’t your collection of jewels and gems reflect the modern trends?  Many people these days prefer bigger and bolder statements, whether this be with large cluster rings, bracelets, watches or anything else sparkly.

Chunky costume jewellery has taken the working world by storm, but what if you want a little more oomph? Well, then you will find exactly what you want here at ROX. We stock a wide variety of the world’s most stunning branded diamond jewellery to suit your tastes.

Bigger is better

Choosing striking, yet tasteful, diamond jewellery for your individual style can be rather challenging. The trick is to choose pieces that you are comfortable with; ones that you will actually want to wear. Investing money in something that is simply going to gather dust is a no-no. You also need to make sure that the piece of diamond jewellery you choose will not overpower your hand, arm or any other part of your body you choose to wear it on.  Whether it is a diamond necklace, a ring or any other piece – it must reflect you and your personality to really help you shine.

It should complement your personal style, taste, your body, outfit and your mood. One more aspect to beware of when choosing bold diamond jewellery is that it is a piece you really connect with. It would be such a pity to fall in love with, purchase and wear a gorgeous piece of jewellery only to be disappointed that it doesn’t match many of your favourite outfits – but fortunately, uncoloured or white diamonds pretty much go with anything!
