Buying Jewellery For Women A Guide To Choosing A Perfect Gift
Most women desire jewellery but often do not buy it for themselves as it is a luxury item. Giving the right jewellery as a gift can allow you to demonstrate how well you know the lady you are giving it to. It symbolises strength and longevity so it is a good gift to give to an important lady in your life, whether that is your girlfriend, wife, sister, mother or a friend. Choosing the right item can be a daunting prospect; this guide is here to try to help you to choose the perfect gift whatever their style.
Research
The first thing to consider is what she already wears. Most women will have a few items of jewellery that they love. Use these as a guide when you buy your gift.
The things to look out for are:
·The colour and type of metal she prefers. Silver, gold and white gold are the most common.
·What type of jewellery she wears. Does she have her ears pierced? If so note if her earrings are studs or drops. How about bracelets or necklaces? Try and think about the size and shapes of the items and the length of the chain of her necklaces.
·The colours that she wears. Look at both her jewellery and the colours of her clothes. If you wish to buy jewellery with coloured stones it is normally best to try to coordinate it with what she already wears. Red; start with garnet or ruby. Blue; try topaz or sapphire. Green; peridot or emerald. Yellow; citrine. Purple; amethyst. If you are unsure about colours then perhaps stick to jewellery that does not have a stone or go with diamonds or clear cubic zirconia which go with just about everything.
If you are still unsure try talking to friends and family. They are likely to be able to advise you about her preferences.
My top tips for buying the perfect gift
·Play fairly safe! If you are not 100% sure about what to choose, you should probably buy something that fits in with the research you've done.
·You could go for something that matches another item in her collection. For example if she has an amber pendant, try to find earrings to match.
·Alternatively find out her birthstone. If you need to know her birthstone you can find various birthstone jewellery here. Choosing birthstone jewellery is a lovely way to personalise a present.
·With jewellery choose quality over quantity every time.
·If possible buy real not imitation stones.
·Precious metals such as silver or gold are better than cheaper alternatives like copper. Not least because base metals such as copper could turn her green!

What would be the perfect gift to give to my GF on Valentine's Day?
Were both 14 and I would like to know what a great Valentine's Day gift would be to get her. Any suggestions or advice that I should know? Please help me and tell me what the perfect gift would be to get her. Thanks and Happy Valentine's Day!!
Answer
I would do something for her in school, and if you want to go out after school, then you guys can pick a place. I am a girl, who is a teen, so i can help. haha (:
First things first, you should ask her to be your valentine. Whether you get down on one knee and ask her at her locker, or send her a sweet e-mail or text message. I think its best to ask her in person, cause you get to see her reaction and all. The only advice with this would be to be really sweet with asking her to be your valentine, but be more modest about the card. You dont want to seem too lovey-dovey and emotional, cause that will totally make her shy away.(or not, i dont know her personality)
Give her a single rose. That would be really sweet. You cant go wrong with a card, unless you totally spill your guts out about how much you love her. You can do it, but go easy. By the way, NEVER tell a girl you love her unless you are COMPLETELY sure you do. If you really do, tell her it on Valentine's Day. But your only 14, and most likely relationships aren't this serious. If you cant get a rose, or a card, maybe you could get her a necklace, ring or bracelet. But dont be going to the the jewelers and pick out a 100 dollar necklace. That would be too much, obviously. lol. Another thing you could do is decorate her locker before she gets to it. Thats really cool, because it is totally unexpected. Girls LOVE surprises, or at least i do. lol. So the "decorate-the-locker" thing is totally cool, caring, and playful at the same time. It also wont put her on the spot some other Valentine's Day gifts would. Whatever you decide to do, I'm sure she'll love it! Good Luck and Happy Valentine's Day! (:
