Jewellery is one of the gifts which you can buy for somebody you love. How to buy jewellery? Follow my advice.

Materials

There are so many different types of jewellery. Necklaces, pendants, medallions, charms, earrings, bracelets, rings, brooches, hairpins, cufflinks, armlets, others.

Jewellery can be done from many materials. The most classic pieces are from precious metals. Commonly used materials are platinum, silver and gold, also white gold, rose gold. Sometimes you can find jewellery made from a stainless steel. Other pieces are from plastic, wood, glass ( fused-glass or enamel), ivory, bones, shells, hemp, leather, clay.

Gemstones

To make a choice of the jewellery more difficult, it may contain one or more gemstones. Sometimes a gemstone can cost much more than a piece of precious metal itself.

You can choose a precious mineral like diamond, ruby, sapphire, emerald or semi-precious once like amethyst, aquamarine, haematite, turquoise, lapis lazuli, tigers-eye, malachite, opal and many, many others.

Instead of gemstones, in the rings can find also different materials like pearls, glass, etc.

See a few examples below.

Jewellery for her

Most women love jewellery. There is nothing bad in having additional beautiful piece. In most cases…

Would you like to buy jewellery for her?

If you want to buy jewellery, you need to be a good observer and know some tricks, to make it right.

First, discover if she actually likes jewellery. Not everyone must love it.

How to know if she likes jewellery?

Does she wear rings? If she wears only a wedding ring and you do not see any other jewellery on her, maybe she just thinks that she should wear it. As a symbol of a married women.

Maybe she just wears only one classic piece from somebody very important in her life and she is not planning to wear any other pieces.

Observe what kind of jewellery she wears. Does she wear earrings? Does she wear necklace? Does she wear bracelet?

Yes, she wears jewellery already!

If she does wear one or more pieces. If you noticed that she likes to change it. Then you can be sure that a jewellery would be a great gift for her.

Does she wear rings? If she wears only a wedding ring, maybe she just thinks that she should. As a symbol of a married women. But maybe she would prefer to not wear anything, because she prefers a comfort.

Does she wear an engagement ring with a wedding ring? Or any additional jewellery? Take a risk. Buy her nice piece of jewellery now! She will wear it. But it would be good to know the current size of the ring.

No, she does not wear jewellery!

Not every women must love jewellery. If you do not see any jewellery on her – probably it is not the best idea to buy her any piece before asking for a reason. But! If she does not wear any jewellery, do not assume immediately that she does not like it! Have a conversation about it.

Maybe she cannot wear it at work. Or maybe she has young children, a lot of washing, cooking and other homework, and she does not want to damage her jewellery. How will you know?

Take her to the opera or to a good restaurant. See what she wears on that special occasion, does she wear any jewellery then?

If you do not have enough time to organise it, check pictures from any occasions, especially birthdays, somebody weddings, Christmas. If you will notice jewellery, you can be sure that she likes to wear it from time to time.

How to choose type of material?

Again. Observe. Some women wear only silver (or platinum), some only gold, some like to wear rose gold. Some do not mind any type. You can also notice if she likes to experiment with jewellery. Maybe she likes other materials as well.

If she wears only one colour of jewellery, you have an answer, what to buy. You can always match it with a colour of her ring, earrings, necklace or any other jewellery she wears.

If you do not know what type of jewellery she would like to receive, again, observe!

Did she buy a phone recently? Was it silver, gold, rose, black or any other colour? Does she have a watch – what colour is it?

See what kind of other clothes she bought recently. Does she have mostly gold, silver or gold accents in her wardrobe? Did she buy shoes with a metallic accent? Or a coat with metallic buttons? Or a new bag with a gold, silver or rose chain? New dress with sparkles? Or maybe sparkly eye-shadows? Match it.

How to buy a ring

Buying a ring can be tricky. You not only have to choose a material and type of a gemstone, but also you need to know a size of the ring.

How to choose a size of the ring?

The easiest way is just taking a ring, which she wears currently. If she would ever leave it.

You can check her other rings and ask her a cheeky question, why she does not wear that old ring anymore. Is it too small? You can suggest going to a goldsmith to change it. You will know the current size of her finger. Maybe she does not like it anymore. Ask, why. Ask, what she likes. It is also very useful information.

You can send her for a female shopping – with your common friend or your sister. Your friend will tell you later what she liked. This may spoil a surprise if your friend or sister will not keep a secret. Or she will guess your plan.

If you do not know size, you can take a risk, buy it and then go to a goldsmith together to change it.

You can also buy her adjustable ring. Yes, they do exist.
