Buying jewelry is not an easy task, it’s not something that everyone shares the same opinions about. Some people prefer the fold, some silver and some don’t even like jewelry. If you are looking to buy your significant other a personal gift like this one, there are a few things you should think of beforehand!
Look at what they already have
The best way to choose the right gift for your partner is to see what they already like. If they are big on jewelry, you can easily go through their favorite pieces and possibly see a theme – if they prefer rings over necklaces, if they like flashy jewelry or something ,or worn to earth. But if they are not big on jewelry and only have a few pieces, it’s good to go with something lowkey, a timeless classic like a silver bracelet. If you decide on buying a ring for them, it’s a good idea to measure it in order to buy the right size!
Choose the material
Probably one of the most important things when choosing jewelry, the right kind of material is essential. Some people prefer one over the other because of complexion or other things, it’s smart to have a discussion about preferences beforehand so that you’ll get what they want. Choosing the right material is a big deal, there is a big difference if you are choosing platinum or white gold, it might seem similar but there is a big difference. If your partner doesn’t have a preference when it comes to materials, it can be a bit easier to choose – but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t think things through!
Quality is key
There are different types of jewelry, it all depends on how much you are willing to spend. But your priority shouldn’t be based around looks, you should care about the quality as well. The last thing you want is for the jewelry to break off or to leave stains – most fake rings, or costume jewelry, in general, leave a nasty stain on the skin after a couple of hours, so this is definitely something to think about!
Handmade options
There are lots of people who specialize in making handmade and custom jewelry. This is perfect if you want to get your partner something symbolic and unique, You can even incorporate special gemstone beads of your liking into the design. Each gemstone is associated with specific qualities and meanings, making it a thoughtful choice when designing a personalized piece of jewelry. Gemstones are all the rage now, and they always look nice regardless if your partner wants to wear it every day or during special occasions. You can easily find lots of talented individuals who can easily turn your vision into reality.
Have a budget
Jewelry can vary in size – and most importantly price. Some can be cheap and some expensive- it’s up to you to figure out how much you are willing to spend. Jewelry, especially gold is a great investment! Also, is it a one-year anniversary, a birthday, or just a thoughtful gift – planning is key. You want to have an exact amount of money you’ll spend and don’t even stress about other things – if the quality is great, you have nothing to worry about. Spending a bit more right away can actually save you time and money, the chosen jewelry won’t break so easily.
Its okay to make a mistake
If you just started dating someone and don’t know them a lot, and their jewelry preferences, it’s completely fine to make a mistake. After all, you can return it and get something your partner would prefer. Jewelry is subjective, whilst there are lots of classic and timeless pieces, some people have peculiar taste! So don’t panic, choose something you find pretty and hope that your partner will agree.
Ask them
whilst you can always steal their rings and get copies of their jewelry, there is still a chance you’d get the wrong thing. That’s a good idea to ask your partner – especially if you are ready to invest a bit more money. Take them with you, if you are going to a physical store – there your partner can freely choose and try on all the jewelry they like. There is no shame in asking, especially if you want to get it right. So if you want to surprise your significant other, make sure to take them to a jewelry shop and make them choose the prettiest piece!
At the end of the day, it’s hard to say what your partner will like the gift or not, as jewelry is extremely subjective and what the majority of people might deem pretty, someone else wouldn’t. So if you know your significant other well, and if you put in the thoughts, you’ll come up with something good eventually!
