Jewelry Gifts for College Students

While it is only July many parents are already purchasing things for their kids to take to college.  Rather then send your college student off to campus with all of her/his precious jewelry consider giving them fashion jewelry.   Not only will your son or daughter love the jewelry, they will also enjoy not worrying about it being borrowed by roommates or worse; lost or stolen.  In addition to looking great fashion jewelry is very trendy.  Available in earrings, bracelets, rings, necklaces, watches and body jewelry; fashion jewelry is also easier on the wallet.  And as a parent, you will not get upset when they trade one piece for another with college friends.

College students will love mixing and matching their apparel with fashion accessories that give the same outfit a whole new look.  Necklaces and bracelets tiered together can give a chic young look keeping your kid hip with the college crowd.  For those occasions when a more sophisticated style is called for a single bracelet or necklace is all that will be needed. 

College guys may be too macho to talk about jewelry but we've not found any yet that wouldn't mind having a few watches to wear around campus.  Silicone watches do not just look casual and cool they are also a healthier alternative to leather bands with the reduction of bacteria they hold.  Another trend in men's (guys) jewelry is necklaces.  Necklaces and chains are huge with men from 16 to 80 years.  Cross pendants are a huge hit especially since the movie starring Vin Diesel, "Fast Five" hit the big screen.

Jewelry with bows are everywhere on the fashion scene and ladies of all ages are being seen adorned with fashion accessory pieces accented with bow ties; everything from bracelets, necklaces, earrings and rings.  It's a must have for every college girl.

So while it is still the summer it won't be long before your son or daughter heads off to college and they will appreciate a few extra fashion jewelry pieces to take with them and you will enjoy the piece of mind knowing the family heirloom jewelry is tucked away safe at home.
