They say all that glitters isn't gold - meaning

Real gold is a great way to say 'I love you' and 'I care.' This gorgeous material shimmers in the sunlight. It's liquid light. It's classy, sophisticated and edgy all at once. Gold jewelry is a great gift during any season - but especially on birthdays, holidays and special romantic days such as Valentine's Day.

Diamonds might be forever, but gold says you care. It says you thought beyond the typical gift of diamond earrings or a pearl necklace - that you really put the time into your gift. And isn't that what every woman wants? A boyfriend or a husband who will buy her something that actually fits her? Something that he has to think about? Gold is that something. If you're looking to add some sparkle to your relationship, look no further than gold.

Gold Textured Unisex Concave Ring

This beautifully textured ring is a statement piece even though it's relatively small. When it comes to jewelry purchases, people tend to overlook rings in favor of larger pieces such as necklaces and bracelets. While earrings are small too, they tend to get purchased over rings. Perhaps it's because people think rings are too hard to size, too hard to pick out - but the truth is, a ring is a great gift. It's the perfect way to add a little pizzazz to your outfit without going overboard with earrings and necklaces. Rings instantly amp up your outfit, and this gold texturized one does double duty, thanks to its oversized shape and glistening, glittering texture. This ring will catch the sunlight and have everyone doing a double take - and that's what she wants.

14 Karat Gold Guardian Angel Ring

For your next big day, why not show a little love with your ring purchase? Sure, an angel is cheesy, but it gets your point across. You and she are one another's guardian angels. On your wedding day, you pledged to stay together for richer or poorer, till death do you part. If there's a more angelic relationship than that, we don't know about it. She guards you, and you take care of her. Give her this ring, and it'll be a constant reminder of how you are the wind beneath her wings. Sure, it's a little corny - but that doesn't mean she won't like it. She might laugh and giggle when she receives it, she might push it back and tell you it's 'too much,' but secretly, she'll love the gesture. She'll love that you were in touch with your feelings, that you were vulnerable enough to express that kind of love for her. What could be better?

14 Karat Gold Snake Charmer Ring

It might not be a heart, and it might not be diamonds - but, let's face it, your girlfriend is too cool for that stuff anyway. Getting her something she might actually dare to wear in public - that's the greatest gift you could give her! The amount of women who have to fake excitement when they open gifts from their significant others is higher than men would like to think, so if you can hit it out of the park and buy her something she loves, you've gone above and beyond.

As you can see, it's hard to go wrong with gold. If you're looking for a gift that will blow your special someone away, forget the diamonds. Dismiss the pearls. Go for the gold - literally! This sparkling, shimmering, all natural material is about as good as it gets. Your girl will thank you for getting her something out of the ordinary, and when your girlfriend is happy, you're happy.
