Never Get The Wrong Piece Of Jewellery Again

Buying
jewellery for someone else can be a real minefield. Get it wrong, and you could be in the
doghouse, especially if you've bought something that really doesn't match her
taste. The jewellery we wear functions
as an extension of our personalities, so by choosing something that's totally
unsuitable you're sending the message that you don't know your giftee well
enough. If you buy something you
girlfriend despises she might just wonder whether you're paying attention!
Paying
attention is the key to getting to know someone's taste. Look at what they're wearing, what they have
in their jewellery collection and also the sorts of things they look at online
or when window shopping. If your giftee
complements someone's jewellery that's a good sign that they like it, so by
noticing all these little hints you can build up a good picture of their taste.
Pay
particular attention to the colours she wears, both in terms of coloured stones
and the metal she prefers. Silver looks
great on practically everyone, while gold can be too much for younger and paler
skin. If you're struggling to determine
what she usually goes for in terms of jewellery colour then you can also look
at her wardrobe. The colours she prefers
on her top half are the same colours that will look good in jewellery, so if
she has a red top she wears all the time, rubies or garnets are good option for
stones. The bonus to this approach is
that she's already got a wardrobe full of clothes that will go with your gift.
Check with
her friends and family for feedback on your choices; they'll have a great idea
of her taste and whether she is likely to appreciate what you've bough,t so
don't be afraid to get some opinions from her nearest and dearest. Doing this also puts you in a good light as
well, because it shows you really care.
If your
intended giftee doesn't wear or own a lot of jewellery it can be very hard to
discern their taste, so keeping it classic is a good bet in this
situation. Pearl stud earrings, classic
plain hoops and birthstone studs are all great examples of classic, thoughtful
jewellery that won't age and will be the basis of her capsule jewellery
collection for many years to come. We
have a wide variety of designs with birthstones, so you'll be sure to find the
perfect gift in our collection. The
Purity collection is a simple, yet elegant claw setting style which can be
dressed up or down, making it a great versatile gift.
The ideal
jewellery gift is something meaningful, and birthstones are a great way to make
something very personal. We have lots of
jewellery with a single colour of stone, plus designs where stones are mixed –
if these mixed stone designs also include the birthstones of you or other
people close to her that's even better.
Charm bracelets are also a lovely way to give a meaningful gift, and you
can add charms as you go, bringing in memories of holidays, achievements to be
proud of and life events that you want to remember.
Ultimately,
the best way to be sure she is going to love your jewellery gift is to ask
her. You don't have to give the game
away completely, you could ask what sort of styles she prefers, but you still
have to interpret that information correctly.
You can even say you're planning to buy her a piece of jewellery and
that you'd like her to give you some direction, or even have her choose it to
ensure it's something she really loves.
Gift vouchers are great for this, but if it's a very special gift and you
want to be able to actually give the item on the day, let her pick it out.
