It would be pleasing to parents if their baby is gifted with personalized gifts. This way, they could see the uniqueness of the gift since no one else has this same item. Only their beloved baby is given this personalized gift, hence, they would cherish it and be thankful for the giver. 

To make the gift for babies more appealing, try an innovation with trendy styles or accents. For instance, the trend is for silver chains. Accent your gift item with silver chains that has baby themes dangling from it. Although your materials are store-bought, you still have the freedom to assemble it and make your own design for the personalized gifts for babies. If you’re a beginner at this, start with these two simple trendy gifts.

Silver-chained Booties

Materials:

Pair of booties, silver chain necklace, needle, silver thread, baby-themed dangles (can be taken from a little girl’s fashion bracelet), and long-noosed pliers

Directions:

1. Make your own two-layered attachment of the chain around the upper part of the bootie. Measurement will depend on how you design the upper chain attachment, whether looped or straight.

2. Decide on the design of the upper chain attachment. Let the lower part loose. 

3. Once you have decided on the attachment design of the upper chain, sew it permanently on the booties. Use a small needle and silver thread. Make sure you have secured the chain firmly.

4. Using a long-noosed pliers, remove the dangles from a store-bought girl’s fashion bracelet. Attach these on the loose lower chain. Make sure it is attached securely and that the dangles have a proper distance from each other.

These trendy silver-chained can be paired with a bonnet using the same design.

Silver-chained Bonnet

Materials:

Bonnet and the same materials as the booties

1. Use the same design for the chain that you used in the booties. Just make the design or loops bigger.

2. Attach the chain at least one and a half inches away from the rim of the bonnet. Sew it safely and securely.

3. Attach the dangles, taking note of the distance between each dangle. It should not be too close to each other.

These are just two of the trendy personalized gifts for babies you can easily do at home. It is not messy and your attachment design and dangles will make this gift stand out. The important thing to keep in mind when making or choosing a baby gift is to see if it is safe or appropriate for their age.

When you are at the jewelry store picking the perfect engagement ring, there are four things to keep in mind to stay under your budget and still get the ring of her dreams. As a jeweler with 20 years of experience, I have become somewhat of a diamond expert. Keep in mind the carat weight, color, clarity, and cut when purchasing a diamond engagement ring.

The first thing to remember is the carat weight of the diamond. Carat weight is a unit of measure equal to about a small paper clip, or.2 grams. The value of two diamonds of equal weight can vary widely based upon the other 3 points, color, clarity, and cut.

Color of the diamond is the next thing to keep in mind when buying an engagement ring. Diamonds are valued by how close they are to colorlessness. The amount of impurities in the diamond affect how yellow or brow it appears. The rating scale goes from D, colorless, and increases in color presence to the letter Z.

Clarity of the diamond is the 3rd point to remember when buying an engagement ring. Clarity refers to the amount of inclusions or blemishes the diamond has. Think of them as birthmarks on the stone. The less birthmarks there are, the more rare, and therefore more expensive. Ratings go from FL, flawless, to I3 with plenty of birthmarks visible to the naked eye.

Cut is the final facet used in determining a diamonds value. The cut will determine the amount of light reflected by the diamond. If the cut is too shallow or too deep, the light will be directed away from the viewer and the diamond will appear dull. Bottom line, the cut determines the amount the diamond sparkles. Cut is graded from Excellent to poor.
