Top 10 Tips from King Jewelers for Cost-Effective Shopping this Holiday Season
As the holidays approach, here are King Jeweler's Top 10 Tips for finding Great Gifts for either him or her while sticking to a strict budget...
1) This holiday season, stretch your dollar with luxury jewelry designers that offer fine silver collections. Leading designers such as Leslie Greene, Judith Ripka, and Pianegonda feature everyday fashion creations that focus not only on the diva but also what’s inside her designer wallet. These couture designs will surely be the talk of any day or night outing while not breaking the bank.
2) In the world of luxury Swiss timepieces, the greatest bang for your buck will always be with the true timepiece manufacturers of the industry. Essentially, only a handful of watch brands actually design, manufacture, and assemble their own in-house watch movements. Many of these brands even manufacture, assemble, and then sell finished watch movements to other watch brands. Today, historical manufactures such as Jaeger-LeCoultre, Girard-Perregaux, Piaget, Chopard LUC, Rolex, and Bovet are able to control the production of a watch from start to finish, thus controlling prices and manufacturing pipelines, not to mention eliminating third party mark-ups.
3) When searching for luxury jewelry at affordable prices this holiday season, try to avoid overpriced designer brands and seek out great private label designs from leading couture jewelers. This holiday season, King Jewelers of Aventura, FL and Nashville, TN offers exceptional private label designs that concentrate on this season’s hottest styles at exceptional values. Eliminate the extra markups for brand advertising and name recognition, King Jeweler’s private label collections such as the Celestial Orbs offer jewelry aficionados high fashion designs at realistic, everyday prices.
4) One of the best ways to cash in this holiday is to remake an old piece of jewelry with a custom design that will give you a new, hip and modern design that you‘ll actually want to wear every day. Dig deep into your jewelry chest and rediscover something you haven’t worn in years or a piece that you inherited from grandma. If you already own the precious gemstones and have metal to put towards a recreation, then custom jewelry designs can be an extremely cost-effective purchase with results far beyond expectations.
5) As the global markets slow down around the world, keep an eye out for heavily discounted clearance sales on leading designer jewelry. Traditionally hosted at major department stores, several independent jewelers will be offering great deals on top designs this Thanksgiving to kick-off the holiday season. King Jewelers of Aventura, FL and Nashville, TN will host in-store holiday sales where clearance sales will be available for John Hardy, Nanis, Philip Stein Teslar, and Hermes, just to name a few. The week long holiday sale will also mark the soft grand opening of King Jeweler’s Nashville which will be located at 4121 Hillsboro Road in Green Hills, TN.
6) Remember: The luxury gift giving experience never needs to be compromised. Sometimes it’s not what you give but how you present it. We’re not saying to settle for an ugly gift that will enjoy the back of the closet, far from it, rather we suggest exploring incredible gifts that appear much more expensive than they actually cost and are reinforced by impressive packaging. This is the gift giving experience, an initial impression of anticipation followed by the satisfaction of an amazing gift for him or her. We recommend jewelry brands such as Bulgari, Pianegonda, Gucci, Judith Ripka, and Rebecca for good value on exquisite jewelry designs along with an elegant package.
7) As the popularity of the watch category grows year by year, this holiday you can discover amazing timepieces with luxury watch brands that function on modern day quartz technology while offering some of the best aesthetics in the biz. Brands such as Tissot, Officina del Tempo, Alpina, Montblanc, Anonimo, Ebel, and Tag Heuer concentrate on exceptional watch designs at everyday great values that make ideal gifts for the holidays.
8) And just for men, jewelry designer Scott Kay offers men the ultimate fashion lifestyle with his Just for Men and The Art of Cuff collections for the holidays. Discover both cutting-edge and timeless designs from one of America’s leading jewelry designers. From the skulls and daggers of the Sparta collection to the ultimate details of the Gothic collection, Scott Kay offers men all jewelry styles for the man that has everything yet wants a little extra in his pocket this holiday season.
9) If you’re looking for a good holiday purchase, why not spend your money on a practical luxury gift that really can be of use. Besides great everyday jewelry gifts like diamond studs or an ankle bracelet, accessories from leading brands make excellent gifts that can accommodate any budget and provide the gift giving experience. Whether cuff links, pens, money clips, key chains, or watch winders, accessory gifts from brands such as Bulgari, Chopard, Cartier, Piaget, Montblanc, Jay Strongwater, Harry Winston, Porsche Design, BRM, Kwiat, Orbita, and Wolf Designs, all offer interesting gift ideas for him and her to enjoy everyday.
10) When making a jewelry or gift purchase this holiday season, you should inquire about free gifts with purchase. Many companies such as Breitling, Roger Dubuis, IWC, Chopard, Bell & Ross, Judith Ripka as well as King Jewelers offer great gifts such as bag packs, hats, pens, jewelry cleaners, and mechanical models. Just think, your loved one can enjoy a new Breitling Superavenger timepiece for the holidays while your little cousin can sport a new Breitling back pack at school after the New Year. Gifts with purchase can be an unexpected gift that keeps on giving!
