When you need to buy a gift for someone important to you, jewelry is always a good choice.
But shopping for jewelry can be intimidating. There are so many options and styles…it’s hard to pick the perfect gift for that special someone.
The gift you choose in the end should be a personal reflection of his or her taste. Or you can venture outside the box with something a little unexpected. Either way, when you give someone jewelry, you’re giving them a sentimental gift that lasts a lifetime!
Here are our best tips on how to make sure you choose the perfect gift this holiday season.
Cover the Basics
The very first thing you need to do is nail down the basics of jewelry buying.
Choose a Color
If you’re looking for something with a gemstone or diamond, you need to narrow down the color. Stones and diamonds come in more colors than just clear, so take a moment to decide what color you want to stick with. If you’re stuck, you can never go wrong with a birthstone!
Decide on a Metal
Now for the metal. If your gift recipient is fond of timeless, classic styles, gold jewelry may be the way to go. Or, if you are looking for something trendier, seek out rose gold. If you’re not sure, choose silver.
Set a Budget
Before you start shopping, set a budget for your gift purchase. It’s helpful to know your cost limit up front.
Start Shopping
Once you’ve covered the basics, it’s time to start shopping! Depending on what type of jewelry you want to buy, there are some things to consider.
Earrings
The first thing you need to do if you’re considering earrings is decide on small, large or dangling types. Try to take notice of what your gift recipient already wears. If you are unsure, seek out a trendy and fun look that will compliment many different styles.

Bracelets
From bangles, to charms, to cuffs - there are many different options to choose from and something for everyone’s taste! When choosing a bracelet, think first about size. You don't want the piece to overwhelm the wearers' arm. Then, ask if you want this piece to be able to be worn different ways.

Necklaces also come in different styles, such as chains, strands and pendants. Think about what your special someone usually likes to wear to point you in the right direction.
