How to Buy Jewelry for A Loved One

Gold or silver jewelry make perfect gifts for someone special. Whether it’s intended as a birthday present, an anniversary gift or a special something for the holidays, jewelry items are sure to make your loved one feel special and cared for.

However, you need to take care when shopping for your gifts so that the present reflects its recipient’s unique personality and style as well as the relationship between the two of you. The kind of jewelry you get for your mom, aunt or grandmother should ideally be very different from that for a wife or girlfriend.

First of all, take some time to think about the intended recipient and their jewelry style. Do they wear ornaments often or do they keep them for special occasions? Do they have any favorite pieces that they particularly like?

For example, a chunky silver and turquoise ring will delight someone with a more bohemian style but silver jewelry (In Danish sølv smykker ) is rarely suited for women whose sense of fashion is much more formal. Classic gold jewelry designs will be the perfect choice for the latter.

You can also consider platinum or colored gold jewelry (In Danish guld smykker ) if you would like to give them something out of the ordinary. Finally, consider the recipient’s age. Similarly, what will suit an elderly lady will not suit a young girl. For the latter, a delicate 14 karat gold chain with a simple pearl pendent will be quite perfect.

Another good idea is to get something similar in design to the recipient’s favorite pieces so that they can wear it as a set. For example, if your aunt or grandmother has a favorite brooch that she uses frequently, you can order a pair of earrings or maybe a cocktail ring in a similar pattern so that she will have a matched pair of jewelry items, perfect for formal parties and celebrations.

However, unless you’ll have an opportunity to get the exact measurements, rings are often not the best gifts. Take for example, the recent royal wedding where events were almost marred by the bridegroom’s difficulty in getting the ring onto his bride’s finger when plighting his troth. You do not want to give someone a present only to find that they cannot use it.

Finally, pay attention to the little details. Ask the jeweler to include a certificate of authenticity for the more expensive pieces so that there is no doubt with regard to insurance, repairs, replacements etc.
