What jewelry to choose to give as a gift

Giving a piece of jewelry as a gift never goes unnoticed no matter the time of year or the special occasion that presents itself; Christmas, Valentine's Day, Wedding Anniversary, etc. When witnessing a commitment, choosing a piece of jewelry is a gesture that expresses all our affection towards this person. It may also be that our gift is not as deep and that we give a fashion accessory simply to please. Regardless of the intention, several types of jewelry can please a woman. The challenge is to avoid missteps and make the right choice. We have some tips to help you make yours.

Wonder Earrings

Giving earrings as a gift is always a great idea especially for a best friend or sister. If she is young, costume jewelry can still do the trick but be aware that it goes out of fashion more quickly and is more fragile than jewelry made with precious metals. For an older woman, earrings with pearls or precious stones are classics and they are always popular. Choose shapes, stones, colors that you would like to wear yourself. Try to notice what this person likes. If the person has a round face, opt for elongated earrings that help elongate their face. If, on the contrary, the face is long, earrings near the lobe are suggested. Before choosing earrings, make sure the person has pierced ears.

The beauty of the necklace

There's nothing like a necklace or pendant to complete an evening outfit and highlight a beautiful neck. Who doesn't remember this scene from the movie "Pretty Woman" with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere when he slips a beautiful pearl necklace around her neck? Or this famous Heart of the Ocean in the film “Titanic”? A truce to fantasy, a necklace or a pendant can be given to your mother as well as to your beloved and you can go very simply with a chain and a little silver jewel. However, there are countless gift ideas depending on your means and the primary goal is not to go against a person's appearance. For example, it is best to give a long pendant to a tall person and avoid large jewelry to someone whose stature is more delicate. Avoid delicate jewelry for a curvy person and the necklace should always end halfway between the chin and the top of the breasts. For those with larger busts, make sure the pendant doesn't land in an uncomfortable area. Now you have to find themes and shapes that reflect your personality. And why not find a pendant with your birthstone?

The reflection of the bracelet

Choosing a piece of jewelry is a perilous adventure. Giving a bracelet as a gift is all the more daring but the impact will be impactful if you aim to hit the mark. Very fashionable, charm bracelets transform over time and provide a multitude of gift ideas for years to come. Don't forget the ever-popular heart, love and infinity symbols. Reflecting our personality, the bracelet can combine textures, materials and precious metals such as textile, leather, copper, gold and silver. Have a meaningful inscription engraved inside the bracelet for a gift she won't soon forget. Once again, avoid weighing down small wrists with large bracelets, but these are very suitable for larger frames. The latest trend, the polished yellow gold bracelet is not only beautiful to look at but it is also a good investment. To determine the size of the bracelet, wrap a string around your wrist, measure and add 1 cm for maximum comfort. For a pearl bracelet, you need to add 2 cm.

The ring on the finger

Giving a ring as a gift is not a trivial gesture. The person who receives it must occupy a very important place in your heart and the opposite must also be true otherwise there could be a misstep. If it is to make the big request, refer to this text to help you in your choice . But besides the traditional engagement ring, a ring can be worn on any finger, even the thumb. You must first respect the person's style. Notice what jewelry and ring she likes to wear. Is her jewelry box full of yellow or white? Does she wear precious, semi-precious stones or is more interested in silver jewelry? Then there is the shape of his hand. Everything is permitted for a person who has a small hand with large fingers but for those with short fingers, the thin ring does much better. For women with large hands and fingers, we can certainly dare to wear a big ring. To measure a finger, wrap a string around it and measure the length precisely with a ruler. The safest, however, is the ring sizer that you can order via our online store.

Wedding gift

What a good idea to offer your partner a piece of jewelry to celebrate your wedding anniversary . Instead of a conventional piece of jewelry, opt for a small medallion custom-made by jewelers. Have it laser engraved on the back to immortalize this great moment of love. Use precious metals and gemstones that symbolize the number of your married years. Cufflinks are always very useful for men and certainly a safe bet.

Birth gift

Jewelry given at the birth of a child remains precious for life and takes on great sentimental value over the years. Yellow or rose gold earrings and pendant are safe choices for little girls. Add a diamond or pearl to add a magical touch. Little gold chains are a great gift for little boys. Opt for gold since silver jewelry tarnishes more quickly.
