Say “No” To Generic Retirement Gifts

We’ve created several pieces this month that will be retirement gifts for some special folks. We really love creating these type of pieces because each one is very different. Personalized jewelry is a a great idea for creating a very personal and very unique retirement gift.

You won’t find a “Retirement Gift” category on SorellaJewelry.com because we don’t sell canned “Congratulations On Your Retirement” generic items. Each one of our pieces could be suitable as a retirement gift and could be personalized with a meaningful – and not generic – message.

For one customer we created a Vertical Monogram Pendant for a friend who was retiring from teaching. Instead of her initials, the “monogram” was the initials of the school she worked at for thirty years. And on the back were the dates of that service.

For another customer we created a round Chinese symbol Pendant with the translation for “Fly.” It was to be a retirement gift for her husband and represented their excitement for the non-work years ahead.

But I think my favorite gift is a diamond-rimmed Monogram Pendant that a husband ordered for his wife. He was the one retiring but he wanted to thank his wife for all she put up with throughout his career. Now, THAT is sweet.

So, if you have a special retirement coming up, don’t settle for generic and trite. Create a truly meaningful piece of one-of-a-kind jewelry for your very special retiree.

The Key Pendant Collection

Antique keys are one hot trend in jewelry today and Sorella is delivering our own unique twist on this style.

The first piece in our new Key collection is the Script Monogram Pendant, an elegant and very classic design that holds your monogram in flowing script lettering. So trendy, yet still so classic. A wonderful gift this holiday season.

Keep an eye out for new upcoming additions to the collection:  The Snowflake Monogram Key Pendant, which, like a snowflake, holds a unique design for each monogram. The Petite Key Pendants, oh-so-petite and hold a single initial.

Jewelry: A Cure For Headaches

Ninette from Iowa sent us this photo of herself wearing the custom Chinese Symbol pendant we created for her that had her family’s Japanese crest on it. It has very special meaning for her.

Sterling Silver is Sizzling

White metals are definitely hot right now and sterling silver is especially sizzling. The appeal is its shiny, sparkling white color and it’s affordability.  More and more fine jewelers are creating spectacular jewelry in sterling silver.

While we offer almost all of our pieces in the range of metals from sterling silver, to 10k, 14k, and 18k gold, palladium, and platinum, we’ve been surprised at how much personalized sterling silver jewelry we  sell. Certainly affordability plays a big role, but what we hear again and again from our customers is “I just like sterling silver.” So, we’ve listened and will be adding more pieces in silver to our collection.

When you’re shopping for silver jewelry, one thing to always ensure is that you’re buying “sterling silver,” the finest of silver alloys. Not all silver jewelry is sterling. Sterling silver (also known as .925 silver) contains 92.5% by weight of silver and 7.5% by weight of other metals, usually copper.
