Apples of Gold offers free FedEx shipping for all purchases and ships many of our items in 24-48 hours, enabling you to rest easy after picking the perfect present – despite your procrastinating ways.

Romantic Red

Valentine’s Day isn’t the only occasion suitable for red gemstone jewelry. Women with January birthdays as well as feisty, take-on-the-world ladies born under fire signs (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) will love the rich red of garnets.

We love the emerald cut garnet and diamond white gold ring (picture at top) for romantic gifting. The three garnets are set prominently on the ring flanked by four small diamonds to give the ring a pretty sparkle. This ring is just beautiful and looks quite substantial, yet comes with a surprisingly bargain price tag.

Another great romantic red choice is the garnet heart clover pendant. Four heart-shaped garnets merge in the center of the 14k white gold setting. If you feel lucky in love with your honey, this necklace pendant can express exactly how you feel.

Wrapped Up In Love

The love knot is a stylish symbol of love that isn’t as obvious as the heart, but is just as meaningful. One of our favorite classic pieces is the 14k yellow gold love knot earrings. The design is beautiful and timeless, and the under-$100 price point is undeniably alluring for the gift giver.

Personalized Last-Minute Love

For the ultimate last-minute jewelry gift that looks lovingly planned in advance, give our personalized gold heart pendant. Though each pendant is personalized and individually finished, we ship it out within 48 hours – perfect for last-minute gift slackers. The gold pendant can be engraved with her name and personalized with one of twelve different gemstones. Choose a gemstone that corresponds with her birthday or her favorite color. You can even upgrade your gift by picking a diamond as the pendant’s stone. It’s a gift so pretty and personalized, she’ll never in a million years believe it was a last-minute pick.

Personalized Handwritten Wedding Bands

Anyone can buy a ring or wedding band, but adding a personalized touch can create a memory that can never be forgotten or lost.  Personalized jewelry dates back to the 14th century when people would engrave personal messages on lockets and ID bracelets in France.  Today, the tradition is just as special as stories of lovers lost and vigilant soldiers carried engraved jewelry for years, each leading them to their true loves.

Personalized wedding bands are a unique commitment and Apples of Gold has added an additional choice to the beloved jewelry tradition, Apples of Gold Personalized Handwritten Wedding Bands.  You can now personalize your wedding band with your own handwriting in three simple steps. First create a handwriting inscription as an image file (.tif, .jpeg, or .gif), secondly order a personalized handwritten wedding band, and lastly email your handwriting image with your order.

The beauty and significance of the handwritten inscriptions cannot be denied and can be engraved into a 14K yellow gold, 14K white gold, or 14K rose gold wedding band. Each Personalized Wedding Band is available in ring sizes ranging from 5mm – 8mm and includes a comfort fit and domed profile.  Your handwriting is smoothly and elegantly engraved into a high quality wedding band flowing with the natural curves of the ring either on the outside or inside of the wedding band.

Begin your new life, or renew an old commitment, with the personalization and emotion of a Personalized Handwritten Wedding Band by Apples of Gold.

Personalized Pieces for Holiday Shopping

With the holidays just around the corner, it’s time to start shopping for the perfect gift for your loved ones. Instead of battling Black Friday crowds at the mall, pour yourself a hot cup of cocoa, sit down at the computer and take your holiday shopping online. To make your shopping even easier, we have located the perfect personalized jewelry gift for the moms, grandmas, fashionistas, and dog lovers on your list.

For Moms and Grandmas:

Nothing is more important to moms and grandmas than their children, and they love any excuse to talk about their kids and show them off. Consider getting them a personalized gold necklace with the birthstones and names of their children. It’s a gift she can cherish forever, and wearing it will always remind her of her family.

Another great option that’s more subtle is a personalized birthstone ring pendant. Each pendant ring is encrusted with a child’s birthstone, and the necklace allows the wearer to add as many rings as she would like. This is also a great holiday gift for new moms; give her the necklace with the newborn baby’s birthstone ring pendant, and each time she gives birth to a new baby you can gift her the new child’s birthstone ring to add to her necklace. It’s a beautiful and thoughtful gift that she’s sure to treasure.

For the Fashionista in Your Life:

Hammered gold is a trend-forward look this season, and the hammered effect looks especially great on gold rings. Starlets and trendsetters alike have been spotted wearing the rings, which are so versatile they can be used to accessorize any outfit. One can wear them on the most mundane jeans and t-shirt days and even on special nights out with a little black cocktail dress.

Take the gift one step further by getting the inside of the ring engraved with a special phrase, date, quote, or line from a love poem. The words you choose will be her special secret hidden on the inside of the ring.

For the Dog Lover:

We all know someone who dotes on their dog more than their children – or even someone who treats their dogs like children. Get your favorite dog lover a 14k delicate white gold paw print pendant with gemstone of choice and their dog’s name engraved. Either pick a gemstone from the month of their dog’s birth, or choose a simple diamond to adorn the pendant. Dog lovers will cherish wearing their dog’s name close to their heart at all times.
