Fathers Day Gifts – Advice from Robert Adair Jewellers

Fathers Day Gifts - Advice from Robert Adair Jewellers

Robert Adair in Ballymena is a Jewellers which stock lots of thoughtful gifts which your father can treasure for the years to come. Stuart at Robert Adair Jewellers shares his favourite alternative fathers day gifts;

  • Get your father’s favourite photograph of the family and invest in a beautiful sterling silver photo frame. A local printer should be able to print you photo at the correct size, or you could even print it at home.
  • A tie clip, money clip, ring or bracelet is a lovely gift to receive. Make is a little more special by adding a personalised message engraved onto it. That sort of extra touch is exactly what you cannot get on the High street and shows that you have put time, and effort into picking the right piece and just the right text. A simple message is perfect and something which your father will have forever.
  • Gift wrapping is something which makes the whole gift giving experience special. Who isn’t intrigued by a small beautifully wrapped package? Don’t just deliver your Fathers Day gift in a plastic bag with the receipt still inside. Take the extra time to present your gift properly. Pick a plain paper in a bold colour and finish with a simple ribbon.

Shopping for Fathers Day gifts should be an enjoyable process. Call in to your local jeweller to see what they have to offer and give the sock and aftershave a break for this year. Invest in a present which will mean as much to your father as he means to you with the help of Stuart Adair’s advice here at Jewellery Latest.

 

In Northern Ireland, Diamonds are one of the most precious gifts that can be given. But how can you be sure that the diamond you are buying is the best that you can get for your money. There are lots of different factors which will make your decision.

1/ Budget – Find a jeweller who offers a wide range of diamonds to chose from. Work out how much you can afford and push them to show you the best quality diamond for that price.

2/ Shape – the shape of a diamond is different from the cut. The cut is a technical term which refers to the diamond’s proportions, symmetry and polish. A good jeweller will help you with the cut of your diamond, but you get to pick the shape which you prefer.

This diagram from wikipedia.org shows a collection of shapes which you can pick from.

3/ Purpose. You should consider what how your diamond is going to be worn. We love the unusual pear cut but if this were to be chosen for an engagement ring you may need to consider a specially made wedding band which will complement the awkward shape. Diamond can be set into rings, bracelets, and necklaces.

Picking the right engagement ring can be a minefield. If your girlfriend has clear ideas about what she likes and you have discussed marriage seriously then take a trip to a jewellers and ask her what type of ring she likes the best.

  • Take note of whether she prefers gold or silver.
  • Does she like clusters of diamonds, or one simple stone.
  • Would she prefer a precious stone rather than a diamond – for example her birthstone.
  • Modern or classic design.

Try to remember what she like the best and then don’t be scared to head into the jeweller for a look by yourself. The staff are there to help you navigate all the different rings and if you have some ideas it will make the progress go smoothly.

Try to smuggle in one of her own rings which will help you to work out what would be the best fit. Or try one of her ring on (secretly) and note which of your finger fits best. Then the jeweller can measure your finger and guess her ring size. Don’t forget that the ring can be resized afterwards to get the fit perfect.

Remember to hang on to the receipt just incase she has her heart set on something else so that you can change it over but we are pretty sure that these tips will help you to get your proposal right first time.

Jewellery Latest know that Valentines Day is a very important date on a jewellers calendar. In 2013 consumers in America spent over $4 Billion on jewellery for a Valentines day gift for their loved one and we guess that this year will be no exception.

Diamonds, gold and silver are the perfect present for a lady on Valentines Day but what about your man? Jewellers have great ranges designed for men which would be the perfect unexpected gift for your husband or boyfriend this year.

Consider getting your man a ring. Avoid anything that looks too like a wedding band and opt for something modern and durable like Titanium. Titanium rings are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, hypo allergenic and really strong. Perfect for any man who works with his hands or loves the outdoors.

If he wouldn’t wear a ring then look out for a gorgeous watch. Men’s watches come in all forms from classic with leather straps, to sports watches. We suggest you go for something classic from a brand like Tissot, which he can wear every day or keep for a special occasion.

Or for the man who has everything consider searching out something a little more unique. A Rolex watch would be the ultimate gift but at a very high price. Did you know that many jewellers offer pre-owned Rolex watches which are sold with the box and certification at a more reasonable price? A Pre-owned Rolex is defiantly worth looking into for you loved one. We at Jewellery Latest are sure that it beats the usual aftershave and sock combination this Valentines Day.
