A classic, simple pair of pearl earrings is always appropriate, whether for dressing up or casual wear.   Why not treat yourself to a new pair, or buy someone a pair as a gift?  Ann’s Majorica pearls are man-made, so they won’t chip or fade.  Made with natural “ingredients,” they look real, without the cultured pearl price tag.   (Most of ours are under $100.)   Made with sterling silver or vermeille, Ann’s pearls come in a variety of shapes and colors, from round to baroque.    Need a graduation gift?  These would be a hit!  Come try some on:

Here are charms for the bride’s bracelet as well as the grad’s.  What?  She doesn’t have a charm bracelet?  Hurry in to Ann’s and get her one!

Do you need a graduation gift?  

Leather travel pieces not only look great, they wear well and get better with age.  Smaller, personal pieces work hard to keep you organized.  Embossed leather has a western feel and comes in colors like red, tan, black and chocolate.   Rolling briefs hold all your office needs while on the road, and cosmetic bags are made to fit over the handle of the smaller rolling suitcase.  Or choose a duffel for weekend travel…what grad wouldn’t love one of these as a graduation gift? 

Update January 2012:  These items are sold out and no longer in stock at Ann’s.
