Just Ask Leslie: Jewelry Tips

Dear Leslie,
What’s a good gift for my 60 year old mother in law?

When a woman gets to a certain age, she looks best in jewelry with a little gravitas and oomph. Also considering the family dynamics that might be involved, you want to get something impressive, but not over the top.

The yellow gold and ruby earrings shown above might just be the perfect thing. The vivid red of rubies are perfectly festive for the holiday season, and will brighten up the rest of the year as well. The stylish asymmetrical design adds a slightly modern touch telling her you know she’s still with the times. At only $150 you can impress without breaking the bank.
