Before You Buy

We’re sure you would have seen something that you think she’ll love and that suits your budget as well in our list of top 21 romantic jewelry pieces. But before you buy, here are some considerations to make sure that your purchase is perfect:

What style of jewelry does she like?

Most girls, regardless of style, will always appreciate a classy, meaningful gift. If you aren’t quite sure about her style, err on the side of caution by picking a subtle piece that she is sure to be comfortable wearing.

Get inspiration from jewelry you’ve seen her wear in the past. Does she like loud, colorful pieces, bold or minimalist designs? Think about her style to help you pick the right piece for her.

What about the type of jewelry?

When we say type, we mean bracelets, earrings, necklaces, pendants and so on. You get the idea. Some girls are earring junkies, while others may prefer necklaces or just rings.

Some may have no preference. Take your cue from the jewelry she normally wears. For example, if she doesn’t have pierced ears, chances are she doesn’t like earrings all that much. What use is it then to give her a pair of earrings as a gift? That’ll just look like you hadn’t given much thought to the gift.

Color or no?

How to stack your bracelet

Should you choose a colorful piece or stay monochrome? Again, this depends on her personality and style. If choosing a gemstone, think about whether she has worn jewelry with that color before. Think about what her favorite color is. But just because she likes a color doesn’t mean she’ll necessarily like to wear jewelry in that color or that it’ll look good on her.

Does she have allergies to metal?

Some people are sensitive to certain metals and can have skin reactions. Metals such as zinc and nickel are two common allergens.

Now, just because your chosen piece is made of silver or gold doesn’t mean that it is hypoallergenic. Almost all metals used in jewelry are alloys, meaning that they’re made out of the precious metal (such as gold or silver) combined with other metals (such as nickel or copper).

This is done for various reasons such as to strengthen the pure metal and make it more durable as well as to enhance color. Check with the vendor about the metals in the piece and whether it has the potential of causing allergies. Always choose a hypoallergenic piece as this is safer for the skin.

Does she like gemstones?

Some women don’t like gemstones while others love them to bits. I know a person who absolutely hates the idea of wearing stones because she finds it stupid. Granted, this person is highly philosophical and has an opinion about everything.

But just to be safe, snoop around and check with your girl how she feels before you buy jewelry with gemstones. Who knows, she may have very specific preferences about the stones she wears. On the other hand, she may love anything that comes from you. In which case, she’s a keeper!

Finding the right size

When it comes to bracelets, necklaces and earrings, size isn’t much of an issue. Most necklaces and bracelets have adjustable lengths. With earrings, just check whether her ears are pierced. If her ears aren’t pierced, you might want to get her clip-on earrings or something different altogether.

Rings are the most difficult to buy because the sizes are fairly specific. It’s like trying to buy shoes for someone else. You have to make sure that you’ve got the right size or its not going to fit on the finger you bought it for. One way to check is to measure a ring that she normally wears and find out her size that way.

Wrapping Up

All this might sound complicated, but it isn’t really. At the end of the day, if you choose a piece of jewelry that you think she will like and put a lot of thought into it, chances are she’s going to love it. Because it will be a well-chosen well-thought-out gift.
