Buying jewelry for the woman you love is a challenge at best. Here are the questions to ask: What are my choices? What does she want? What size? How much should I spend? These are all good questions.
You have choices of the type of jewelry, rings, necklaces, bracelets, etc. Then you have choices of metals, yellow gold, white gold, platinum, silver and more. And then there are the gems. Make a mental note - real gems are always better than fake gems. Even a small authentic gem is preferable to a large fake gem. If you have any doubts, ask a woman.
What does she want? If this gift will be a surprise, then you certainly can't ask her. Why not ask her sister or her mother or her friends? Women do talk to each other about jewelry so tap into the network. They may have the information you need or they may know where you can find it. If it's a secret operation, be sure to tell the ladies involved.
What size should you buy? Your options are limited here. First, ask her family & friends. If that doesn't work, measure any rings, necklaces, and in her jewelry box. As a last resort, sneak one or more of the pieces into a jewelry store so they can size it for you. Make notes for later on.
To determine how much to spend, consider the occasion from her point of view. The more meaningful the occasion to her, the more you can spend. That means every anniversary is important! Her first Mother's Day is very important, although you really don't need to go crazy. How about a charm bracelet or a ring with the baby's birthstone? You do have the birthstone list, right?
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. - 16459
