ALT-2 Christmas 2007 Jewelry Gift Ideas for Teen Girls
Jewelry is always a fail-safe gift for teen girls - nearly all of them wear it, and even if they don't they'll always appreciate it. But you need to tailor the gift to their age group, rather than just buying them any old thing - the more specific and fashionable it is, the more they'll enjoy it and you'll feel better for getting it.
1) Charm braceletsCharm bracelets are something a girl will cherish into her womanhood. They can be as personal or as open as you want them to be, and also there is a rather large price range to suit your needs. You can get a simple bracelet with plastic charms for a cuter look, or perhaps go for a silver link chain with silver/gold/glass charms for something the girl will cherish forever. It's also a great talking point and something that can then be passed down through generations and become an heirloom.
2) Big, bulky jewelryOnce glance at any fashion magazine this season will show that big jewellery is still in fashion. A teen girl will love to receive anything that's in fashion, and its a trend that tends to stay in vogue for a long time so it won't be something that's confined to the jewellery box a week after Xmas. You can either make it colourful or elegant and again, there's a range of prices.
3) Personalised or elegant pieceLike a charm bracelet, an elegant or personalised item like an initial or a silver/gold piece is something that will cost more but will last longer and the teen girl can wear at special events, or whenever she likes! It says something personal and it shows you care.
4) Handmade pieceNothing shows effort like a handmade bracelet or necklace. If you know the girl's favourite colours or wardrobe you can make a one of a kind piece that none of her friends will have. This idea is also great for the independent, non-high fashion following girl you know!
Obviously jewelry is a very personal thing so you need to know the girl quite well, or know what other jewelry she wears to get a good idea of what she'll like. A personal item is always a safe bet as it's fairly neutral and you can get some good quality pieces for good prices. And if you're not sure, pick up any fashion magazine and see what the stars are wearing. Unless the girl's ultra-independent she'll love it. And if she is, make her something original!
