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?
How do you find out her size? Your first and best option is to ask her friends and family. A good backup is to look at the pieces in her jewelry box and measure any rings, necklaces, and bracelets she owns. If all else fails, take one or more of her pieces into a jewelry store for sizing. You should make notes for later on.
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.
Shopping doesn't come naturally to many guys. We often avoid it. There's a saying: women shop, men buy. But you'll have to do at a little shopping this time to find the right gift. If you've done your homework, you'll be fine. Visit several jewelry stores and compare value and quality, not just price. Buy from an established company.
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. - 17944
