Have you ever had trouble buying a gift for that special person?
It's very common to think we know what our loved one wants and then find out, too late, that the item we bought isn't even something they like. This rarely makes anyone feel good.
If the gift recipient doesn't use or wear the gift you bought, it's also a waste of good money. And these days, who can afford to waste their hard-earned money? Not many of us, that's for sure.
So what can you do to ensure you purchase the right piece of jewelry for your loved one?
We've created 5 helpful tips to help you wisely purchase jewelry gifts that your special someone will be thrilled to own!
Tips for buying jewelry for her:
First, listen to what she says. It's unusual for a woman to keep quiet about the things she likes and enjoys. Pay attention to what she talks about. Whether she's telling you what her friends are wearing that she thinks is cute or if it's an online or TV ad she's seen, if you listen to her, she'll tell you what she wants. And if she doesn't tell you or you can't seem to remember what she mentioned, ask her close friends. They usually know what their loved one likes and wants.
- Look what she wears and what makes her eyes light up!
Don't buy clothes that you think will look good on him or that you want him to wear; instead, look at what he wears frequently. This is a sign that he likes you. When you're out together, what styles does he look at or mention that he likes when he sees them on someone else? See how he reacts to things and take notes!

To acquire something with personal or sentimental meaning .
Jewelry is personal. You get that. But sometimes, it's even more sentimental when the meaning behind it is symbolic and relevant to your relationship, like experiences you've shared or special moments in your life. Think colored gemstone charms of your children's birthstones or possibly a heart pendant symbolizing the vacation you took together on your first Valentine's Day, or even something she collects, like butterflies, flowers, or stars.
If you stick to something you know is one of her favorites or a sentimental item of hers, you'll be way ahead of the game and win all the way to the checkout!
Tips for buying jewelry:
If men think it's hard to buy jewelry for women, they should be women trying to buy jewelry for a man!
There's no end to all the cool men's jewelry collections out there today, but how do you know if what you're buying is something he'll not only want to wear but look good in, too?
And let's face it, the man in your life might not be too thrilled about the idea of going jewelry shopping, even if he does want some jewelry!
And not only does he want to look as good as you want him to look, he also wants to make sure you like what he's wearing.
Here are some tips to help you buy the right jewelry for your man and dress him up a little so you can make him feel as confident and special as he makes you feel.
- Take note of their lifestyle.
Is he the super casual type who only wears a simple sports watch and maybe a chain or two if he goes out on the town and otherwise doesn't wear jewelry at work or at home? Or does he like bling? Does he love to make ice when he leaves the house? Maybe your man is the more subtle type, preferring not to be too flashy but still wanting to have a bit of a modern style.
Take note and buy accordingly. Don't buy anything with jewelry if it's super casual. And likewise, if your man prefers a little ice, don't buy a ring without jewelry!
Just like men, women need to listen too. Listen and look. Use your ears and eyes. What does he say he likes? Is what he says he likes the same as what you wear or is it the opposite? And if he says he likes jewelry but doesn't own any, offer to take him shopping and ask him about the styles you see when you're out together. Getting his opinion will let you know what he's comfortable wearing.
Let's say your guy is very tall and has the body type of a football linebacker, then the jewelry you buy him should be sizable and not too "dainty." And a shorter man will need jewelry that isn't too big. This can be hard to determine, so as we mentioned before, ask him what he prefers. It's surprising what men will tell you when you ask them.
Another general rule when buying jewelry for men is to buy items that he wants to wear and feel comfortable in, not items that you would like to see him in. It is just as important for a man to feel comfortable in the jewelry he wears as it is for women.
