Tips for Choosing a Piece of Fine Jewelry for Her

Fine jewelry is one of the best gifts that you can give to your loved one. It’s pretty, permanent, and personal.

There are so many different options, types, and styles out there that choosing the perfect piece is easier said than done. Most importantly, you’ll want to make sure that the jewelry you end up buying will be loved by your recipient.

If you’re at a loss for where to start, here’s a foolproof guide that will help you choose the perfect jewelry gift for the special person in your life.

Consider her preference. 

Choose jewelry that is a reflection of her personal style, and something that she would consider buying for herself. Pay attention to the clothes and jewelry she already wears. Is she the type to wear bold and maximalist pieces that make a statement? Or does she prefer subtlety and wearing understated, minimalist jewelry?

Is she into the latest trends, or does she prefer classic and timeless pieces? Does this person wear a lot of neutral outfits, or does she like having a pop of color? If it’s the latter, what are her favorite colors? What is her skin tone, and does she have a precious metal preference? Does she have an active lifestyle, and does she work a lot with her hands? 

Asking yourself these questions will save you lots of time and will increase your chances of getting the perfect gift. If you notice that she favors statement pieces, that means she loves taking risks and standing out with her fashion choices. She’ll probably love a necklace with an eye-catching design and lots of color. If she frequently wears her diamond stud earrings and pearl necklaces, then she will probably like a simple cuff bracelet gift.

Do some detective work. 

If you’ve already asked the questions above and still don’t have any idea on what jewelry to get, some light detective work may be in order. You can accompany her while shopping to a jewelry store and closely observe what gets her attention. You can stalk what Instagram jewelry brands she follows, or ask her friends and family for advice. Just make sure they can keep a secret!

Set a budget.

Having a set budget in mind helps to quickly narrow down the list. The occasion of the gift will also guide how much you’re planning to spend. If it’s a milestone such as birthdays and anniversaries, these are the times when you may want to go big with your gift. In these cases, you could consider splurging for a piece that will be treasured for a lifetime. 

Of course, you don’t always have to make a big statement with your gift. If you’re looking for a gift without a special occasion in mind, then choose something she can enjoy and wear every day.

Decide what jewelry to get.

Browsing through a store’s entire collection can get overwhelming quickly, and may even lead to analysis paralysis and decision fatigue. Decide if you’re going to get her a ring, necklace, bracelet, or a pair of earrings.

Pick out the type of jewelry and then stick to it in order to have a more pleasurable shopping experience. A Swiss luxury watch is a great gift for a practical person, while birthstone jewelry is always a solid choice for a birthday gift.

Establish what you want to convey. 

Fine jewelry is a great gift to give in a romantic relationship. Knowing how to pick the right engagement ring will show your love and devotion, while buying her a diamond tennis bracelet or a pair of gold, dangly earrings will show your intent to pursue the relationship for the long term.

If it’s too early in the relationship, you can gift that special someone with a cuff bangle or a paperclip necklace to avoid any misunderstandings. You can then reserve that luxury piece once you’ve established that you’re in it for the long run.

It’s also a great gift to show a friend you care. You can show them how much you appreciate their presence in your life with a charm bracelet or a pair of stud earrings. 

Add a personal touch.

You can choose her birthstone, or have the jewelry engraved with her initials or a special date. Adding small details like these will make a big impact on your gift. 

If you’re still having trouble finding the perfect gift, you can request for a custom-made jewelry. Zadok Jewelers offers bespoke jewelry service that allows you to design and create fine jewelry from scratch.
