How to choose jewellery when buyibg a gift

Giving jewellery as a gift never goes unnoticed no matter what time of the year or special occasion; Christmas, Valentine's Day, wedding anniversary, etc. When it is a sign of commitment, the choice of a piece of jewellery is a  grand gesture.  It is also possible that our gift is simply a fashion accessoryoffered to a friend . Either way, we have some tips to help you make the right choice. 

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 style faster and is more fragile than jewelry made with precious metals. For an older woman, pearl or gemstone earrings are classics and always appeal. 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 long earrings that help elongate their face. If, on the other hand, the face is long, earrings near the lobe are suggested. Before choosing the earrings, make sure that the person has pierced ears.

Necklaces and pendants

There's nothing like a necklace or pendant to complete an evening outfit and show off a beautiful neck. Who doesn't remember that scene in the movie "Pretty Woman" when Richard Gere slips a beautiful pearl necklace around Julia Roberts neck? No need to be fancy, a necklace or pendant can be given to your mother, sister as well as to your niece. There are countless gift ideas to choose from, depending on your budget, and the person's physiognomy. For example, it is better to give a long pendant to a tall person and avoid large jewellery for someone with a  delicate stature. A necklace should end halfway between the chin and the top of the breasts. For those with large breasts, make sure the pendant does not land in an uncomfortable area. Now you need to find themes and shapes that reflect their personality. And why not find a pendant with her birthstone?

Bracelets

Very fashionable, charm bracelets can be transformed or added on to over time and provide a multitude of gift ideas for years to come. Bracelets can be found in many different materials, shapes and colors. Have a meaningful inscription engraved on the inside of the bracelet for a gift that will never be forgotten. Yellow gold bracelets are not only beautiful to look at but also a good investment. To determine the size of the bracelet, wrap the wrist in string, measure and add 1 cm for maximum comfort. For a pearl bracelet, you need to add 2 cm.

Let's ring it on!

Giving a ring as a gift is not an ordinary gesture. The person who receives it must occupy a very important place in your heart. If it is to ask the big question, refer to this text to help guide you. But in addition to the traditional engagement ring, a ring can be worn on any finger, even on the thumb. First of all, you must respect the person's style. Notice what color metal they like wearing, do they like precious or semi-precious stones? Then there is the shape of their fingers. A  person who has short fingers, the thin rings fit much better. For women with biger hands and fingers, you can certainly dare to go big! To measure a finger, wrap it with a string and measure the length precisely with a ruler. The safest way is to use a ring sizer that you can order for free through our online shop.

Wedding gift

What a great idea to give your spouse a piece of jewellery to celebrate your wedding anniversary. Instead of a conventional piece of jewellery, opt for a small medallion made to measure by jewellers. Have it laser engraved on the back to eternalise this great moment of love. Use precious metals and stones that symbolise the number of years you've been married. Cufflinks are always very useful for men and certainly of great sentimental value.

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 pendants are safe choices for little girls. Add a diamond or pearl for a magical touch. Small gold chains are great for little boys. Go for gold since silver jewelry tarnishes faster.
