Buying Jewelry for Him and for Her

Jewelry for Him

Buying a piece of jewelry for him is not as tricky as it might seem. Even the man who disdains accessorizing will be pleased with a thoughtfully-picked piece of jewelry. Here are five suggestions for when you are considering buying jewelry for him:
1. A timepiece: Every man needs a reliable timepiece. You have three different options to work with:

A casual wristwatch: A watch that complements casual, everyday wear is a must-have. Casual watches are priced for all different budgets. A good casual watch is sturdy, water-resistant, with a vinyl, casual leather or faux-leather band. Digital models are the cheapest and have the shortest life-span. You can also choose from quartz or mechanical models. Active men will appreciate a sports watch while an outdoorsy man will appreciate a watch with a compass and barometers.

A dress watch: Men with office jobs need a watch that complements their suits. There are no specific characteristics of a dress watch; it is simply a watch that is elegant, simple, reliable, and functional.

A pocket watch: A classic gift for the sophisticated man! Pocket watches were once a sign of affluence. Now, they are a rare but classy alternative to the basic wristwatch

2. Cuff links: Cuff links are a must-have for any formal male attire. They polish a look and exude class and sophistication. Choose cuff links according to the style and color of his attire. Remember that there are casual styles of cuff links and more elegant selections for high-end suits and tuxedoes.
3. Tie pins and bars: Tie pins and tie bars are simple accessories just for men. They run from simple to extravagant complete with gemstones. An engraved tie bar makes a perfect gift.
4. A ring: Men's rings are chunky and almost industrially made, but there is incredible versatility behind the style and meaning of men's rings. A class ring or a military ring is always a wanted gift. Other right-handed rings include plain steel bands, gold-plated rings with a single gemstone, or celtic rings that identify his heritage. Rings can also have religious meaning, engraved with Hebrew, Christian symbols, or mystical symbols.
5. Necklace: Necklaces are for casual wear. A trendy, urban style calls for chains. Some men appreciate a gold cross or other religious necklaces. The easy-going guy will love a braided necklace, a hemp necklace, or a knitted cord necklace. Summer styles call for masculine beaded necklaces.
Jewelry for Her


When buying for her, remember that jewelry always makes a perfect gift. When buying for a woman, you need to take into consideration her personality, her style of dress, and her wants. With a little bit of forethought and attention, buying her the perfect piece of jewelry will be a fairly effortless process. The key is to assess what you already know and do a little bit of research to find out what you don't know. Here are some guidelines to help you:
1. Unless you're proposing, don't buy her a ring (unless it is a 5 carat diamond ring!). If you're already married, consider a birthstone ring or a mother's ring.
2. What does she have all ready? There are classic pieces every woman should have in her jewelry wardrobe. A quality pair of pearl or diamond stud earrings is a classic and romantic gift. A simple pendant on a chain is an essential as is a quality wristwatch. However, no woman needs two of any basic piece; just knowing what she needs is what makes the gift especially thoughtful and sentimental.
3. Assess her personal style. If she wears bohemian shirts with worn-in jeans, consider a long, funky beaded necklace or a color bracelet. Turquoise, amber, cat's eye, copper, and wood are great accents for natural, down-to-earth women. Modern, contemporary designs are perfect for the working girl. If she is always on top of the latest fashion trends, check out the latest jewelry fashions. A little bit of research into what celebrities are wearing will give you insight into how to get a chic and fashionable piece when buying jewelry for her.
4. Go sentimental. Nothing will make her gush like a personalized piece of jewelry. Charm bracelets are all the rage and have the benefit of being a basis for future gifts. An engraved pendant will be cherished. If you are especially daring, have an artisan customize a piece: choose stones or gems that remind you of her eyes, choose a charm that symbolizes something meaningful from your past together, or give her a heart-shaped necklace to express your love and devotion.
5. If you have time in advance, pay attention to what she desires. Casually walk by the jewelry store and see what she is drawn to. Play it cool and she will be thrilled and surprised when you present her with exactly what she wants.
