Whether you are buying for your mom, sisters, grandmother, or best friend, a well-chosen piece of jewelry can go a long way to showing them just how much they mean to you. Yet, there is so much jewelry out there it can be confusing and tricky to choose just the right piece. Unless you follow the suggestions below that is!
Types
First of all, if you are going to find a piece of jewelry for the lady in your life that she will love you need to consider the different types on offer. The most popular are necklaces, rings, bracelets, and earrings. Although you can also count watches as a type of jewelry.
Then you have the more niche items such as belly rings and chains, anklets, and other body jewelry. Of course, you will know best whether the recipient would prefer something like this or an item from the more classic selection above.
The only thing to be aware of here is that rings can have additional meaning in terms of romance or promise, so you may wish to stay away from these if that is not our intention.
Style
The next factor to consider is the style of jewelry to choose. Typical options are minimalist, contemporary, and more traditional pieces that have classic or vintage style settings. Usually, the best way to work out the style that will suit the lady in your life best is to look at the jewelry and clothes she already wears and match your choice to that.
Metal
The metal that the jewelry is made from is also an important factor, both in terms of style and comfort. This is because many people only wear a particular type of metal jewelry such as silver, or gold.
Additionally, jewelry made from genuine precious metals is better for those that have allergies, which could irritate them if they wore things like nickel.
Stones
Many jewelry items inculcate stones as part of the design and decoration and knowing a little about these can be very helpful when making your choice. For example, many precious and semi-precious stones are used in jewelry such as emeralds, diamonds, rubies, turquoise, and tourmaline.
Probably the most popular stone is diamonds, and the price of a piece of jewelry that contains it is usually based on the quality of the stone. Indeed, the highest quality diamonds are known as Flawless (FL) and Internally Flawless (IF).
However, vvs diamonds are often a much better choice. The reason is that they have inclusions that are barely noticeable to the naked eye, something that means they look like flawless diamonds but are usually much less expensive.
Price
Finally don’t be filled with the thought that you have to spend a fortune on a jewelry gift for the lady in your life. I would argue that getting the style, and other factors right is much more important because it shows how well you know them, and guarantees that they will want to wear the piece you buy.
Final Thoughts
The good news is that there are plenty of fabulous and inexpensive pieces around, and once you know what you are looking for it will only make finding them that much easier.
