The leaves are turning colors, there’s a nip in the air. This must mean it’s football season. Oh yes, and wedding season too! Which also means there will be anniversaries to remember, which then means you need a gift! No sweat – Scott’s has you covered! Here’s a roundup of the best jewelry anniversary gifts for her that will make you look like a hero!

You can’t go wrong with a diamond anniversary band

Anniversary bands in yellow, white and rose gold.

Remember when you slipped that wedding band onto her finger? So much emotion and celebration wrapped up in a symbol.

I’m going to let you guys in on a little secret: she loves that band – AND SHE WANTS ANOTHER ONE!

Some ladies want a matching ring to snug up on the other side of her engagement ring, especially if she’s the all-about-balance type. A diamond anniversary band, made exactly like her existing wedding band, would get you the same response as that original wedding ring!

But, some woman love contrast, so a diamond band, maybe in another color of gold or platinum, or even with a different shape, would be a great gift.

Diamond studs from her stud

Classic earrings with lab grown diamonds.

Here’s the thing, anniversaries (and birthdays) that end in 0 or 5 are kind of a big deal. A new vacuum cleaner just isn’t going to do it. You need the big guns – a classic pair of diamond stud earrings.

And now that lab grown diamonds are “a thing”, you won’t need to take out a second mortgage to impress her! Gorgeous lab grown diamonds, simply set in 14k white gold, are 30-50% less than mined diamonds, AND they are eco-friendly.

A bracelet with a story: The power of custom charm bracelets

There’s something special about a bracelet. Women love them because they can SEE them all.day.long. And a bracelet with a story – that’s even better!

One anniversary, Scott gave me a 14k gold charm bracelet, already filled with charms that represented our life together. Like a clarinet (because we sat next to each other in 7th grade band), and a Phantom of the Opera mask, for our first Broadway play. It’s one of my most favorite pieces of jewelry, ever.

The 14k charm bracelet tells the story of our life together.

What about a custom bracelet engraved with the coordinates of the place you first met? Super romantic!

A special pendant

Since sometimes we can all be pains in the neck, a special pendant can help balance it all out!

Hearts and crosses have always been popular, but how about something different – like a pendant with a moon and a star? Women love this – trust me! Perhaps a pendant with the gemstone of your anniversary month, or even one with all of the birthstones of your family.

A custom family necklace with birthstones of everyone would be a great anniversary gift!

Also popular are monogram necklaces. Either her own initials, or even just the initial of your last name. Something simple enough to wear everyday.

A custom initial necklace, with a diamond or even a birthstone, would make her day!

And you can’t go wrong with a diamond solitaire pendant. This will always be in style!

A wedding ring makeover

A wedding ring makeover makes a fabulous anniversary gift.

If you’ve been married for a while, it may be time to makeover that wedding ring.

Since she wears it every day, over time, it does wear out! Something as simple as a Spa Day for her ring, where the stones are tightened, the ring is deep cleaned, polished and rhodium plated (if necessary) can bring that baby back to it’s original glory!

But maybe that ring is … dated. Or maybe you want to upgrade her original center diamond with something bigger, now that you’re not 25 anymore and actually have a job A wedding ring makeover is super fun, and if you reuse those diamonds, it’s also very affordable! This may be the perfect time to add diamonds to her ring that she’s inherited from family too. Scott’s has made it very easy to restyle your wedding ring with advanced visualization technology and 3D printers.

Scott and I are getting ready for a weekend away. We’ll (hopefully) see the sun, eat great food, and peruse booths filled with beautiful, custom JEWELRY!

I know, rough life.

But, as many of you already know, business trips aren’t as glamorous as they sound. Sure, the location is wonderful. Heck, just seeing grass instead of snow and ice is a plus in January! But when Scott and I go to jewelry trade shows, We Work.

Which brings up the age-old dilemma: What kinds of jewelry should you pack (and how to pack it), for a business trip? Scott’s Custom Jewelers has you covered.

The right accessories can help you create more outfits with fewer clothes. And let’s face it, woman live in mix-and-match black. So your jewelry choices can help you personalize your look and take up next to no space in your luggage.

Here’s some of my fail-safe tips on jewelry choices for business travel.

• Skip the fussy pieces. Stiff collars-style necklaces can get damaged in your suitcases. Same with ornate bib necklaces. They tend to tangle. Instead, go for a few statement pendants that can morph from a casual vibe when worn with a leather cord, to OH WOW! when worn on a fancier chain.

• Next, grab some studs. And I mean the jewelry kind! Stud earrings are a great way to make an outfit look finished but not fussy, which is exactly what you wear to meetings. I love to bring pearl studs in the summer, because they look amazing against tan skin. But of course, diamonds go with everything!

• Don’t forget your dangle earrings! I usually pack a few fun, funky pieces in sterling silver. If the business trip includes cocktail hours, a sparkly pair of hoops is also a must.

• A sure fire way to change up an outfit is an armful of bracelets. Pile them on, and your little black dress is complete. Wear just a single bracelet for meetings so the clacking isn’t distracting. And here’s the great thing about jewelry fashion:  You can mix your costume jewelry with your “real” bracelets. The more the merrier!

• What about rings? In addition to my amazing custom wedding ring  (thank you hubby), I always pack a few others. For sure, I take my sterling silver hammered ring. It’s looks great for casual affairs. And colored gemstone rings can be just the pop of color that brings your outfits together.

• Now – how to pack it all up. I don’t use a fancy shmancy travel jewelry case. Yes, that’s a Crown Royal bag. No judgment. Instead, I use small baggies (I’ll give you some – ask me next time you’re in the store) and pack them up individually. The bags protect the jewelry from scratches. For extra protection, I stick the Crown Royal bag in my shoe.

I always say, the right jewelry can make your outfit. And they always fit!

I mean, not many people can pull off wearing studded dog collars to work. Although at Scott’s Custom Jewelers, we can be a little more daring!

But at last week’s Grammy Awards, there were plenty of jewelry hits that just about everyone can wear.

The Choker Is Back

Jennifer Hudson looked stunning in a diamond choker.

Take the choker, for example. It’s back, and this delicate jewelry style looks amazing, especially with asymmetrical necklines.

Remember those thin seed pearl necklaces from the 80s? The ones sitting at the bottom of your jewelry box?

Restringing them into a simple choker is a great way to recycle your jewelry and stay in style this spring.

Try Vintage-Style Jewelry

Speaking of recycling, the Grammy Awards featured a lot of fabulous vintage-style jewelry.

Try wearing Grandma’s rings, sized to fit your index or middle finger. It’s a simple way to make a meaningful piece feel fresh, stylish, and wearable again.

Pair Big Rings With Thin Bracelets

A large citrine and diamond ring looks balanced with a thin sparkle bracelet.

Big rings and thin bracelets look especially good together. This combination can be both casual and dressy.

Scott’s Custom Jewelers’ thin sparkle bracelets are a perfect complement to any style ring.

Stack Multiple Rings

Ariana Grande wore her grandmother’s jewelry to the show.

Another trend spotted at the Grammy Awards was multiple rings on each hand, as well as stacking rings.

This year, it’s all about the fingers — not the bass.

Scott’s Custom Jewelers’ blue and pink sapphire square-shaped stacking rings, along with a diamond band, look amazing together or alone.

Go Bold With Black and White Jewelry

Colored gemstones are always popular, but black and white combinations stole the show.

Whether it was black diamonds or onyx, the bold look was very polished.

Translating that look for everyday wear is easy.

Kat Graham rocked her black and white diamond earrings, showing how stylish and wearable this trend can be.

Make Award Show Jewelry Work for Everyday Style

Sterling silver and a black-and-white crystal pendant can look dressy for dinner.

Or, change out the chain for a black cord, and you’re rocking your yoga pants at the grocery store.

No judgment.

A cubic zirconium pendant also adds a lot of bang for the buck.

Revamp Your Jewelry Box in Columbus, Ohio

This year, dressing like the stars is more of a fashion hit than ever before!

Stop into our Columbus, Ohio location and let us revamp your jewelry box.

The 2017 Oscars were memorable for many things, but let’s focus on the fun part – JEWELRY!

Since most of us don’t get to rock the red carpet on a regular basis (but I’m seriously jealous of the tour bus customers), the real question is: how do we pull off great jewelry style for a trip to the grocery store?

Easy. I’ve taken a few Oscar looks and modified them with custom jewelry from our store, Scott’s Custom Jewelers in Dublin, Ohio.

Let’s start with the ears. Long dangle style earrings were certainly a hit. Big and bold (and probably heavy too). But you can also get this big look at a lower price with fabulous diamond glimmer earrings.

Available in many styles, in white, yellow and even rose gold, these beauties are full of sparkle AND lightweight. We call them “cell phone worthy”.  Plus, they won’t break the bank with prices starting at $199 in sterling silver.

Another cool earring style big at the Oscar’s were ear climbers.

Funky earrings look awesome all on their own – no other jewelry needed. Pair them with jeans and Ts to immediately bring your stock up.

Our fun sterling silver and diamond simulate earrings give you all the glam without a home equity loan. With many different options, you’re sure to find a pair that will set you apart.

Now on to necks. Big necklaces were, well big at the Oscars.

Oscar necklaces are typically unique – but you can also get that look with a statement piece from Scott’s Custom Jewelers. The key is to find something that goes with your style. Curvy necklaces with unusual gemstones. Bold pops of color. Anything that doesn’t look like everyone else. And even better if you use pieces you already own, you get style plus a story!

Statement necklaces don’t have to be pricey. Take this pearl necklace. Cool enough to be noticed, but casual enough for yoga pants.

Even small diamonds can make a big impact. By sandblasting the white gold, the diamonds really stand out.

It’s easy to stand out like a star with unique jewelry!
