Many women are fascinated by jewelry and while the majority of fashion relies on basic styles – plastic, glass and other imitation pieces – National Jewel Day on March 13 focuses on the good stuff.

National Jewel Day is a great opportunity to go to a jewelry store and invest in a genuine gem or add to your collection of a specific jewel. Perhaps you want to find something with your birthstone (http://diamondsrock.com/birth-months-birthstones/) or something that matches a favorite outfit. It is also the day that some jewelers release newer pieces.

If you are serious about buying some serious jewelry for yourself, a significant other or perhaps your mother, be prepared to invest a lot of money. If you’re not ready for that, maybe you would be better off simply visiting the jewelry store and taking a picture of the prettiest piece you can find.

Another way to celebrate is share that picture or one you already have with #JewelDay on social media.
