What to Get Your Wife for Christmas? Put a Ring On It! (For the Second Time)

by Erin Flynn

I’m not sure whether it’s the old time Christmas classics, the cheesy ABC Family movies starring 1999 TGIF stars, or endless holiday jewelry commercials, but it’s around this time of the year that I start fantasizing about a new piece of jewelry. There are many 20 somethings, like myself, who have a husband that’s pulled a Beyonce and already “put a ring on it”.

While I love and appreciate the rock on my left hand there comes a point in a relationship (for example 2 ½ years of marriage) where jewelry starts to look appealing once again. It doesn’t have to be in a Tiffany blue box or even diamonds, but a fashion worthy item with enough glitter to catch Santa’s eye or at least your family’s while scooping the mashed potatoes.

Beyonce might sing to the single ladies, but here’s a tip for the married ones…it’s called Clara Kasavina. Their rings are all under $225 along with being handmade in New York. They are sparkly enough to wear out on New Years Eve but subtle enough to piece with a chambray shirt & pair of jeans. So give him a reason (in other words, a detailed list…seriously, here’s the link) to put a ring on it the second time around!
