Jewelry For Every Budget (NAPSA)—Thisholiday season, the focus will be on meaningful gifts. Presenting a small box of jewelry can make it a memorable holiday and it doesn’t have to break your budget. Here are someideas: Give Back—Consider gifts that benefit charities. There’s a wide range available, from a beeshaped pendant by Alex Woo to help honeybees, to a Rembrandt Charms breast cancer awareness charm bracelet. Sterling Silver—Sterling silver is increasingly incorporated into fine jewelry. The fresh look is oxidized or blackened sterlingsilver. Mixing it with polished silver or yellow gold can blend the best of both worlds. Bracelets—Bracelets are back, especially cuffs and bangles. Look for textured sterling silver and gold cuffs. Bangles can be worn in multiples so you can give one now and another for the next occasion. Sentimental Talismans— Personalized jewelry gifts are sentimental and meaningful. Consider jewelry styles with inscriptions, symbols of hope and freedom, and “evil eyes” that become protective amulets for the wearer. Keys—A key can represent the key to your heart, the key to your future, the key tolife, the key to independence and so on. at 8 % * j uv Rhonda Faber Green Key jewelry may be topping wish lists this season.
