5 TIPS TO FIND THE PERFECT GIFT
WRITTEN BY: KATIE JENISON
Between the holidays and the upcoming Valentine’s Day, it is definitely jewelry buying season!
While jewelry makes a great gift this time of year, it’s perfect for other occasions, too.
From anniversaries to birthdays, a beautiful piece of jewelry is a wonderful way
to show her you care. Here are five tips to help you do just that.
1. BE PREPARED
When buying jewelry for a woman,
it’s important to have an idea of what
she does and does not like. Helpful
things to know include what kind
of stones and metal she prefers, as
well as if there’s a specific shape of
stone she likes. With just a little basic
information, picking out jewelry will
be that much easier.
To avoid ruining the surprise by
asking her questions, there are a
couple options to determine her
preferences. First, take a peek at
the jewelry she already has. What
does she wear the most? Is there an
overall style she seems to like? Next,
ask those close to her what she likes.
If you’re still struggling to figure out
what she likes, go with a classicdiamonds!

2. BUY MATCHING ITEMS
Purchasing jewelry from a collection
is a great way to create a theme
and will provide several options
the next time you buy her jewelry.
Most collections include a necklace,
earrings, ring, and bracelets. Or,
if she’s the type to mix and match
consider purchasing a piece that
complements her existing jewelry.
3. PERSONALIZE IT
One way to add a special touch to
your selection is to make it personal.
Choose a piece showcasing her
birthstone or get her a charm bracelet
featuring items significant to your
relationship. Take it one step further
and have a message engraved on it.
Personalized touches to her jewelry
will make the gift even more unique.
