Jewelry is a beautiful accessory that not only complements an outfit but also says something about the person wearing it. We all have different tastes, and our taste on jewelry is often different too. And that can make it difficult when it comes to shopping for it as a gift. Here are some tips on picking out jewelry as a gift.

 

 

Look At What They Currently Wear

Most people wear jewelry to some degree, and you may be able to get an idea of what they like just by seeing what they wear on a daily basis. Play detective and if you get the opportunity to look at their jewelry stand when you’re with them, then make a mental note of everything. Look at what they wear on a daily basis and what they might post on social media. There is plenty of opportunities to find examples of when they have previously worn something on a night out, and there will be plenty of photos online or that you may have on your phone or camera of times where they’ve worn jewelry. 

Once you have an idea of what they currently wear, it’s time to figure out their exact wrist size; you do not want to end up buying an expensive piece for your loved one, only for it not to fit them. Knowing their wrist size will make it effortless to shop, especially if you are shopping for kids.

One of the best ways to know the size of a person’s wrist is using an online bracelet size chart. This is relatively easy as all you will have to do is read through the simple instructions and follow any physical steps needed. If not, you can take their current jewelry and use it as a size reference while shopping.

If the gift is not a surprise, you can take your loved one shopping with you for them to pick exactly what they want. There is no written rule on how to shop for jewelry. All you have to do is figure out what they like by observing them, know their exact size, and you will be good to go!

 

Go In-Store For A Visual Experience

When shopping for jewelry, it’s something that’s worth seeing in the flesh, rather than online. After all, you don’t want to get an experience from bayam, so it’s better to go to an actual store to see and try on the jewelry. If you can, you can try and subtly do this with the person you’re intending to gift. However, it might be better taking someone who has a similar arm or finger size if it’s a bracelet or ring that you’re getting. You don’t get the same customer service experience online as you do in-store. They also may have advice on what to pick based on what information you give them. When shopping online you’re merely going off what you have thought about. There’s no one there to help or guide you unless there’s a virtual shop assistant available. It’s just not going to be the same though, so always shop in-store.

 

Their Fashion Style

Their sense of fashion style will be an indicator of what they like. If they have quite a colorful wardrobe, then they may like the same when it comes to their accessories. Some people have a preference when it comes to color or patterns, and so it’s worth having a little look at their daily wardrobe and what features the most in terms of style and color. There’s chunky jewelry, jewelry that’s more subtle or pieces that are glamorous. The person you’re gifting it to will certainly have a dress style and that will help.

 

Play It Safe

If all else fails, it’s a good idea to play it safe. Try not to go too experimental and get something simple. Shop around online and consult the jewelry store’s blog if they have one for advice on first time shopping for a friend or loved one.

A piece of jewelry always goes down well anyway, so you’re certainly going to get a positive reaction.
