As we all know, jewelry can run on the pricey side of gift-giving! Here at Bidz.com we believe everyone is entitled to beautiful jewelry and accessories, no matter what their budget. We feature gorgeous pieces in our online auctions from fashion jewelry to watches to diamond engagement rings!

The reasons and occasions to gift jewelry are endless. You can give your soul mate a ring to say “marry me!” or some beautiful earrings to say “I love you.” Jewelry also makes an easy and lovely birthday gift to a friend. I recently received a lovely necklace and earring set from my parents-in-law and I consider that to be a wonderful gift!

In my opinion, the right question is “Why not bid?!” You can only save when you shop for jewelry at Bidz.com, so check out what we have to offer today. With new auctions starting every 5 seconds, you’ll surely find what you’re looking for.

That’s right. Recent jewelry news is that Nicole Richie, daughter of singer Lionel Richie, new mother of one and sometimes friend of Paris Hilton will be introducing her new jewelry line in Fall 2008.

Yes, it seems every star and starlette today has chosen the multiple-lines-of-income way of life. Having connections can make you a singer, a writer, an actor/actress and apparently even a designer of jewelry, clothing and whatever else you might fancy.

Richie’s plans include a jewelry line of 50 pieces (to begin with, of course). The line will consist of fashion jewelry, but certainly won’t be priced for the faint hearted! Richie’s pieces will be available at high-end boutiques like Kitson and Fred Segal, but keep your eyes on Bidz.com in the future for your chance to own a Richie original at a fraction of that boutique price!

We all have certain friends and loved ones who are easy to shop for. These people just seem to appreciate any gift! At the same time, we all know those people who are difficult to give gifts to. It’s not that they don’t appreciate the effort; perhaps they already have everything! Or maybe they never talk about anything they want, leaving you empty-handed when it comes to gift ideas.

Luckily you can always turn to jewelry. You can choose from fine jewelry and fashion jewelry, endless styles, multiple metals and many gems in any price range. Here are three reasons to choose jewelry as your top gift-giving choice:

1. Jewelry is an easy gift to give. With so much to choose from, it’s easy to find something for anyone.
2. Jewelry is an easy gift to appreciate. The receivers of your gifts will appreciate the effort and thought behind the purchase.
3. Jewelry offers plenty of options to choose from for men, women and children. You’ll never run out of options to choose from!

Remember Titanic? Not the ship itself—I’m talking about the Hollywood motion picture extravaganza featuring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as “Jack and Rose.” The Silver Screen’s dream couple and the movie that swept the 1997 Oscars.

A big part of that movie focused on a necklace Winslet wore in her infamous nude scene: the Heart of the Ocean, a fictional piece of jewelry based on the real-life Hope Diamond (which had nothing to do with the Titanic, just to clarify). This necklace was comprised of a massive heart-shaped blue diamond, hence the name.

This lovely cubic zirconia necklace resembles the beloved Heart of the Ocean. The cobalt blue checkerboard cut heart is 7.75 carats in weight. It hangs on a 17-inch sterling silver chain and measures 22mm x 15mm.

This piece is valued at $89.00 retail. Don’t miss your chance to bid and take this fine piece of fashion jewelry home today!
