Jewellery gifts – how to choose the right jewellery

Intro

If you’re reading this blog, you probably already know ‘who’ you’re planning to buy jewellery for. Girlfriend, partner, wife, friend, mother or grandmother – no matter who they are, understanding what they’re like as a person and their lifestyle really helps when choosing the perfect jewellery gift. 

Here’s how to find the jewellery piece that will match her personality and make her smile.

What’s her personal style?

Does she like jewellery that’s bright and sparkly, or does she prefer an understated look? Chunky or delicate jewellery is a personal style choice too. And people almost always have a preference for the types of metals or stones they will wear. Does she prefer silver, gold or rose gold? Or maybe she likes a modern gleam with bright rhodium or contemporary white gold. (Ambien) You may already know what jewellery styles the person you are buying for likes, but it’s a great idea to observe more closely. 

What’s her lifestyle? 

Consider her job or the activities she does in her free time. If she loves the outdoors, you might choose 100% waterproof jewellery that has a design or pendant shape that represents nature or an animal. Thinking about lifestyle is a practical consideration too. A mum with young children might appreciate a well-made bracelet or attractive ring, rather than a necklace or dangly earrings, which might get in the way when tending to a baby or toddler.

Quick tip: size matters. If you’re buying a bracelet or ring, you’ll need to get the sizing right. If the gift is a surprise, you may have to be sneaky and check the size of a ring or bracelet they already own. The length of a necklace chain is important too, you can notice whether they like short or long necklace length.

What’s the occasion?

Anniversaries, graduation, leaving home, Mother’s Day – these are all great occasions for jewellery gifts. If it’s a birthday present, her birthstone or sign of the Zodiac pendant is a good gift idea. The occasions when she’ll wear the jewellery later are important too! Some women love rings and earrings for everyday wear, others want jewellery for when they’re dressing up to go out. Think about whether the jewellery gift you’re buying will be a special piece, or something she will love wearing any day of the week. 

What do you want to say? 

There’s a message behind any gift – and jewellery is deeply meaningful. As a gift, jewellery carries both sentimental and monetary value. Expensive jewellery, especially as a romantic gift, tells her you’re serious about the relationship. Whatever amount you spend, the best jewellery gifts always say something personal. Is there a shared memory the piece could capture, or is the jewellery personalised in some way to represent the individual story of the person you are giving it to? 

Have fun choosing your gift

When you’re thinking about what matches someone’s personality and lifestyle, choosing jewellery as a gift can be lots of fun. It also makes life easier that jewellery can be purchased online and beautifully packaged to send.
