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.
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.
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.
The quickest way to determine her sizes is to friends and family. Another option is to measure the pieces in her jewelry box. If none of those options work, consider taking some of her jewelry pieces to the jewelry store so they can size them for you.
Other than important occasions like anniversaries, the price tag isn't as important as some may think. It's the thought (and the preparation) that counts for most women. If you're still dating, a good general rule to follow is that the value of the gift should be based on how long you've been together. If you spend too much things can get awkward. If you spend too little you look cheap.
To begin, jump online. Learn the basics of jewelry. Learn about metals and gems. Understand how to determine the quality of jewelry. Be aware of prices. You're out to make an important, thoughtful purchase. Find a number of retailers nearby. Do your homework.
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.
Remember why you've gone through all this. The gift should help express some emotion to your woman. To maximize the impact, consider exactly how to give it to her. Should it be a romantic setting? Or should it be an unexpected surprise? Don't be afraid to be original. Do this part right and she'll remember it for a long, long time. - 16459
