How does jewelry make you feel, do you enjoy buying jewelry for yourself? I enjoy giving jewelry as a gift and think that jewelry can represent both femininity and masculinity even though in this post I focus only on the feminine aspects of jewelry, diamonds, pearls, gold, and silver know no gender when it comes to gifting.
