Buying jewelry a woman can be challenging. When it's done right, it's a romantic, meaningful and even magical gesture. It can also be daunting, even intimidating process. But a little knowledge, planning, and preparation can go a long way towards making you hero of the story.
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.
To figure out what she wants, listen when she talks about jewelry. Some women like to drop hints. Think about her personality and lifestyle. If she's conservative, she might like simple, classic jewelry. Does she enjoy handmade or artisan items? Consider something unique and handcrafted made with fine materials. Does she line frills and lace? You get the idea. Do any of these styles show up in her jewelry box?
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.
Bring yourself up to speed before you're ready to purchase anything. Do your homework online. The knowledge you gain will help make the shopping experience a lot more comfortable. The goal is to make a thoughtful, personal purchase. You certainly don't need a piece of jewelry that turns her finger green. The bottom line is: Learn about jewelry quality. It will save you some grief in the long term.
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
