10 Tips for better jewelry gift buying; A guide to help you through the maze of gift-giving decisions so you don’t get lost on the way

These gems have life in them:  their colors speak, say what words fail of.  ~ George Eliot-about Opal

“There is in them a softer fire than the ruby, there is the brilliant purple of the amethyst, and the sea green of the emerald - all shining together in incredible union.  Some by their splendor rival the colors of the painters, others the flame of burning sulfur or of fire quickened by oil.”  ~ Pliny, about the opal

Tip 1.   Girls love to have something that other girls don’t have

Tip 2.  Keep her personality in mind. Does she like pretty little things like small necklaces or rings? Or does she like big pendants and rings?

Tip 3.  Is she a ‘modern’ type of girl, keeping up with fashions, or does she like more traditional old fashioned clothing. This is a good clue to her jewelry preferences.

Tip 4. Personalize your gift. But keep in mind that it’s best to buy a bracelet or a large pendant for this because there’s only a certain amount of stuff you can write on a ring. maybe just simple her name.

Tip 5. Buy her MATCHING jewelry. Girls love to match pendants with earrings and rings.  

Tip 6. If you’ve got the dough, don’t bother with any other gift. Jewelry is the safest bet BUT…..

Tip 8.  Many gifts fade in time but jewelry is a nice heirloom that you can keep in the family to remember you long after you are gone.
