- Now you're asking this? Jewelry is always a good present and only you know what she has and/or would wear.

    - what did you get her for the first one? if a birthstone thing, then get one with only the second's birthstone now, i think.

      - You might look at www.judithbright.com; great jewelry using stones...not necessarily all the birth stones, but her stuff is handcrafted and very unique. She recently held a trunk shown at Henri Bendel.

- I got Cartier earrings for one and a Tiffany's diamond wedding band for the second. My answer is jewelry is the best present but no birthstone stuff. Just the straight up good stuff.
