With Christmas just around the corner, it's time to start thinking about jewelry that symbolizes a holiday that is cherished by many. If you're in the market for a specific theme, you may be pleasantly surprised with what you find in terms of sterling silver designs. Whether you plan to wear it yourself or give the gift of jewelry to someone else, a holiday theme is sure to be a welcome addition to any woman's wardrobe.

When you think of Christmas, you may immediately think of snow and the beauty of snowflakes trickling down from the sky on Christmas morning. For this reason, snowflakes are a very popular motif in terms of jewelry. From charm bracelets to earrings and even pendants, these sentimental designs will remind the wearer and everyone who sees her just how beautiful a white Christmas can be. With your attention now turned to snow, a snowman is the next likely image to appear in your mind. After all, you cannot have one without the other and this makes the snowman a very popular theme in Christmas jewelry. When set in sterling silver, you will get a presence that's easily seen and enjoyed. In addition, the price will be easy on your budget when compared to other precious metals.

Unlike snowflake or snowman jewelry, which can be worn all throughout winter and is not necessarily holiday specific, certain types of jewelry are designed to be worn exclusively for the holidays. Among the designs known to represent Christmas include a holiday stocking, the image of Santa Claus, a reindeer, a wreath and a Christmas tree. Any of these designs will instantly add a festive touch to your wardrobe and will let others know that you are ready for the upcoming holiday, and you're ready for it in style.

As the winter months approach, it may become more difficult to find specific jewelry in stock as many retailers often sell out early. Immediately following Thanksgiving, many people's attention turn toward Christmas and shopping for gifts. If you find yourself in a situation where your favorite jewelry is out of stock or perhaps on backorder, you may be able to consider an alternate choice that will be easier to find while still allowing you to be festive. The image of an angel is very popular in holiday jewelry, and can be worn throughout the year as a reminder that the wearer is never alone.

A star, which many people use to adorn the top of their holiday tree, is a popular theme that will be well received during the holidays and can also be enjoyed throughout the year. When you wear star jewelry in November or December, many will instantly associate your intended meaning with that of the holidays. After the Christmas season has passed, you can still enjoy the star motif as a popular statement in fashion and one that promises to remain a classic for years to come.
