Buying jewelry for the woman you love is a challenge at best. Here are the questions to ask: What are my choices? What does she want? What size? How much should I spend? These are all good questions.
Choices - There are enough jewelry choices to make your hair stand on end. They include rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings and categories within categories of each. Then there is yellow gold (how many karats?), white gold, two tone, platinum, silver. What about gems? Make a note - when considering gems, real is always better than fake. A small authentic gem is always preferable to a large fake one. Don't believe me? Ask a woman.
What does she want? If this gift will be a surprise, then you certainly can't ask her. Why not ask her sister or her mother or her friends? Women do talk to each other about jewelry so tap into the network. They may have the information you need or they may know where you can find it. If it's a secret operation, be sure to tell the ladies involved.
The quickest way to determine her sizes is to friends and family. Another option is to measure the pieces in her jewelry box. If none of those options work, consider taking some of her jewelry pieces to the jewelry store so they can size them for you.
To figure out how much to spend, look at the occasion from her point of view. A first anniversary is very important. The 5th, 10th, 25th, 30th, are also important occasions. On these milestones, consider a nice piece of jewelry that conveys the importance of the occasion.
To begin, jump online. Learn the basics of jewelry. Learn about metals and gems. Understand how to determine the quality of jewelry. Be aware of prices. You're out to make an important, thoughtful purchase. Find a number of retailers nearby. Do your homework.
It's important to choose the right gift, but don't mortgage the house to get it. Whether you buy online or from a local store, understand the return/refund policy. It may not be needed after the prep you've done, but it's better to be safe. Finally, buy from an established company. You'll know they'll be there for you later on.
How should you present the gift? Will it be in a romantic setting? How about as an unexpected surprise? You want her to remember it for a long time, so be original. - 16747
