Jewelry Style For Women Over 50

BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

We all know women who, throughout their lives, exude confidence and a wonderful personal style. Turning 50, 55, 65 or older for that matter should not compromise our personal style. In fact, these years are often a time when a woman’s style is at its best.

According to Esther Fortunoff, president of Fortunoff Fine Jewelry (Westbury) and Fortunoff.com, “Once a woman turns 55, she is often comfortable in her own skin. She knows what looks best on her and rarely succumbs to the latest trends unless it complements her personal style. We recognize that making a style statement can be achieved without excess. That is very true of jewelry where one piece can be the focal point of your look.”

Ethiopian Opal with Pink Tourmaline, 14 K gold can elevate an everyday look

At Fortunoff Fine Jewelry, there are many pieces that are ideal for women over 50. Each projects a distinctive style, whether up-to-the-minute, Boho, active, tailored or laid back. Take, for example, the Ethiopian Opal Pendant in 14K Yellow Gold (CLP20033Y4). This simple contemporary piece can elevate an everyday look. For women whose style leans more toward the minimal, there are great pieces like the Alice Pendant in sterling silver with 18K rose gold plating (SPD20116SS). This design reflects the graceful geometric trend which was on display in many of the designers’ fall fashion shows.

Bracelets are another way for women over 50 to project their personal style.

Looking for a beautiful, graceful way to adorn your wrist and project a polished, on-trend style? Look no further than a Wavy Wire Cuff Bracelet in Sterling Silver (SBG20004SS). Others prefer a flexible bracelet to wear everyday like a Two Tone Open Link Bracelet in 14K Gold

Two-Tone Open Link Bracelet is a flexible bracelet ideal for everyday (GBA2000T4).

Rings are also a great way to project your own personal style regardless of your age. A beautiful gemstone ring, perhaps in your birthstone, tells the world you are proud of your birth date and not afraid to show it.

“Rings with a single unique gemstone such as a pink or purple sapphire or aquamarine send a message that this woman has distinctive taste,” said Ms. Fortunoff. “And, there is absolutely no reason why a woman over 50 can’t stack rings of slightly different styles,” added Fortunoff. Often, rings are emblematic of life events such as engagements, weddings and anniversaries and as such, hold special meaning.

When it comes to earrings, select a

over 50 should also feel no reserve in wearing a great pair of hoops – whether a classic hoop in yellow gold, a large skinny hoop with diamonds set in white gold (DER20049W4), or a pair of small huggy hoops. On-the-ear and stud styles are back in style and a woman can never have too many earrings. They are often her most noticed jewelry statement.

there are counselors and supervisors and other kids. This is just you and your grandchild. Make sure you have notarized authorization from the parents allowing you to act in loco parentis.

This is a big responsibility. You have to be certain for yourself that you are ready to take on the job of being with them all day and all night. You can’t go your separate ways at the end of the day. If you thought being a parent is stressful, just wait until you are the only adult to watch after them. Being solely responsible is a really big thing when you are far from home.

grandparents say, it’s bringing up a child again, this time free and clear; and at the end of the day you and the grandchild go separate ways.

Unless, that is, you decide that you want to take your grandchildren on vacation, just you and them, no parents allowed.

Speaking of parents, it is essential to involve their parents even before you broach the subject with the grandchild. They have to be willing to put them in your charge and out of their supervision for some time.

Once you’ve decided on a destination you have to be willing to let them make most of the decisions about what they want to do once they arrive.

We have found that our grandchildren wanted to do the things that make a destination famous so we did them all even if we had done them before or they were a bit pricey. So with the Paris trip, we made sure to take a night trip on the Seine, viewing the Eiffel Tower sparking with lights. And what child should go to Venice and not take a gondola ride, no matter the price.

Be prepared for a meltdown and that isn’t just on their part. It can happen to you, too. Everyone needs some down time but such a vacation may offer little of that. It is helpful when there are two grandparents so one can take some time off. Your grandchild may also want time off, perhaps sleeping in late or not visiting that museum that you think is absolutely essential. Remember, it’s their trip.

One unexpected reason for unhappiness came as a surprise to us. By the end of a week they were homesick.

Anyone Can Make Mistakes With Estate Matters—You Don’t Have To

A will, also called a testament, is the starting point. Wills are generally seen as the umbrella document that drives the rest of an individual’s estate process. A will generally accomplishes the following: • It details how you want to leave your property to specific people or

Adulthood brings certain financial responsibilities like the building of budgets, bank accounts and proper insurance. It’s surprising how few consider a proper estate plan part of that essential mix.

In fact, a recent ABCNews poll found that only about 50 percent of Americans have created a will and significantly fewer have created the supporting estate documents like a living will or a power of attorney.

Preparing now for the end of your life or for illness may not sound like fun, but it is necessary. Having a plan for the future can help bring you peace and even put you on the road to stronger financial security. It can also help those you care most about.

We’ve all heard cautionary tales about relatives or friends who did not have a will, and family members who were left with difficult but avoidable situations.

So, how do you start an estate plan?

It has a lot to do with carefully drawn documents, but it’s the planning

institutions after you die.

• If you have minor children, it allows you to name a guardian to care for them after you die or become incapacitated. It also indicates who will manage your kids’ assets, including what you leave them.

• It lets you name your executor, the trusted person who will carry out all your wishes in the will.

If you die without a valid will, your state’s court system may get involved in distributing your assets depending on intestacy laws on the books.

A living will, also known as an advance directive, allows you to define how you want to be medically treated under specific situations, including irreversible injury or terminal illness.

Depending on your state laws, living wills allow you to express your exact wishes about feeding, breathing assistance and other life-sustaining procedures, in addition to how you want them carried out at certain decision points in your care. A living will may also provide information on pain or infection medications you either

Stop Paying Full Price, Ask for Your Discount

BY RACHEL HIRSCHHEIMER

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

When it comes to a senior discount, you don’t actually have to be a “senior” to qualify for one. In fact, the biggest misconception with the word “senior” in senior discount is that you have to be above the age of 65 to make a purchase for less money. However, signing up for an AARP membership for just $16 a year, starting at the age of 50, can oftentimes put you in the mix for a senior discount too.

Restaurants, department stores, transportation companies, movie theaters and even hairdressers don’t always have to be paid for in full.

Asking for your senior discount at any of the places listed below can save you thousands of dollars a year.

Don’t want to spend a lot of money eating out? Head to these places where discounts are given to people over the age of 54.

Powers of attorney are legal documents that allow you to name a specific person to take care of your money or healthcare wishes if you are incapacitated. It is particularly wise to seek professional counsel from a qualified trust and estate attorney in writing these documents.

The person you designate as healthcare power of attorney will be speaking with doctors and executing your wishes on various forms of treatment; your financial power of attorney will be in charge of paying your bills and depending on the range of responsibilities you outline for that person, handling your investment and business affairs.

Both are extremely important jobs that should be carried out by people you trust, and that’s why they need to be people in the know. Make

their preparation part of your estate planning so they know how to step in and carry out the assignments you’ve given them efficiently.

Bottom line: Estate planning is the final, responsible step in all good financial planning. While it may be unpleasant to do, it is essential in taking care of family and loved ones, and provides you with support after you’re gone.
