Jewelry makes the perfect gift for special occasions, symbolizing commitment, love and thoughtfulness. The smart shopper will take that sentiment one step further and look for jewelry that’s not only dazzling, but practical as well. That’s why jewelry watches make the quintessential gift for anniversaries, birthdays or holidays. It might not always be easy to find the right style since there are so many options, so asking beforehand or just browsing through the mall together might offer some valuable clues to ensure the best match.

The first question you should ask yourself when looking for jewelry watches is, “What am I willing to spend?” This will also determine where you should shop. Sometimes the best tactic is develop a price range, then pick a store and before you even begin browsing for styles, ask a sales associate what they have in your price range. Nothing is more disappointing than finding the ideal watch, only to find it’s thousands of dollars beyond what you had intended to spend! Or, if you’d prefer, find the perfect watch and if the price is too high, ask the associate what they have in a similar style for a lower price.

There are some brands that specialize in reasonably priced jewelry watches. For example, Seiko, Fossil, and Guess offer some elegant choices in the $100 or less range. Macy’s Department Store shoppers can often find watches on sale, priced down by as much as $100! Also, they frequently run sales that include a bonus gift, such as a diamond accent pendant for only $49 with your watch purchase. The great thing about Macy’s is that their warranties are amazing! For instance, you could buy a women’s Fossil bracelet watch with a sparkling Swarvoski crystal and stainless steel band, a diamond marker and Mother of Perl inlay for $57 and you’ll receive an 11 year warranty! In the next price bracket, Kay’s and Zales Jewelers has a really nice selection of Seiko, Citizen and Bulova men’s jewelry watches with diamond accents for under $200.

For the big spenders, Tiffany and Company has become a symbol of high taste. When women see the box, they know something extraordinary is inside. Starting at $1,000 and going all the way up to $54,000 for an 18-karat white gold and diamond piece, these jewelry watches are designed to impress. Zales carries men’s and women’s Movado watches in the $2,000 - $5,000 range. If you’re looking for the extreme in high-end jewelry watches, you will have to visit New York City or Toronto to find an authorized Rolex dealer in North America. Of course, Omega, Tag Heuer, Gucci and Breitling watches may be easier to find at your local jeweler with some styles available in the low thousands.

Picking out jewelry watches requires thoughtfulness, impeccable taste and time. This is a gift that should last quite a while, if carefully selected. After ensuring the warranty and repair services are fair, you can sleep easier knowing that this will be a gift your loved one will never forget!
