How To Choose The Right Jewelry Gift For A Woman
Giving a gift of jewelry is always appreciated by those who love such trinkets.
When giving such a gift though, it helps to know what the intended recipient really enjoys.
If such a person is never seen without her signature strand of fine pearls, giving her a $1.
99 pearl necklace you got at the local discount outlet-on sale-is probably not a good idea (unless you are a young child, in which case the thought alone will be appreciated greatly).
The thoughtful gift is always the most appreciated.
For the woman in this illustration, let's say that signature strand of pearls is always her necklace of choice but she wears all manner of funky bracelets, from large to small and cheap-o to extravagant.
Bingo-one affordable bracelet, comin' up.
For most women, when someone takes the time to notice what she wears or collects and then seeks to add to that, she knows some time and thought about her is involved.
We all want to be told we are appreciated, beautiful, amazing creatures, whether we be man or woman, so that attention is flattering.
The appropriate piece of jewelry hits that chord on several levels.
Note the use of the word 'appropriate'; take care to be sure the gift is not too much or too little-consider the expectations of the recipient.
In the movies the rich guy who wants to beautiful woman with the heart of gold always has his extravagant gift pushed back at him with the woman saying: "I really can't accept that.
" Oh come on...
really? How often does that happen in real life? Unless there are some sticky strings attached to that gift (such as: I give you expensive gifts, you give me sex), most of the time the expensive gift will be accepted joyfully.
The times when an extravagant gift will be refused are when there is some underlying motive that the recipient picks up.
Many people give gifts with strings attached and a spiritual/metaphysical person who understands that will refuse all gifts from such people, no matter how extravagant they are.
Some things are just not worth the price that would have to be paid.
Other than that though, finding the perfect gift for a woman is fairly easy if she likes jewelry.
If the gift is from friend to friend, it helps to have a previously agreed spending limit so embarrassment can be avoided.
Otherwise every time the person who had the lower-priced gift looks at the higher-priced one, there will be a twinge of guilt; that is no gift.
If the gift is for someone you don't know very well, ask someone who does know them (if possible) or go with something very classic and ambiguous--nothing romantic, sexual, extravagant, too funky, or the like-keep it simple.
Rings are too personal and necklaces can be also.
Earrings and bracelets are usually pretty safe to give (check for pierced ears before buying earrings) as are hair clips, scarf clips, brooches and sunglasses.
There are so many choices out there in the jewelry world that you should be able to find something that would be appropriate fairly easily.
Make it something fun for you too; something that brings a smile to both of you every time you see it.
