How to Pick out Jewelry

Image credit


I am a big jewelry girl. I feel like it adds so much to an outfit and can totally change a look. There are so many different types of jewelry. It can sometimes be difficult to pick out what is the right fit for you.


Choosing the correct type of jewelry for a gift can be a highly personal experience. Regardless of whether you need to buy a necklace, engagement or wedding ring, or a pair of earrings, you want to be confident that the piece you purchase is precisely what they will love and is their style.


Jewelry can hold a lot of meaning, and different types of jewelry and gems can have different meanings depending on the reason it is gifted. So, where do you start when it comes to finding the right piece?


Look At Their Existing Items

The best place to start is to simply look at the type of jewelry they already own and wear regularly. This will allow you to see what to avoid as they already have it and what colors and styles they tend to lean more towards.


It could be that they prefer white gold or silver to yellow gold jewelry, or that they like large, eye-catching designs not understand simplistic pieces that blend into their outfits. Or they might prefer to wear earrings over rings, meaning you can avoid buying them rings as they won't be as included to wear them.


You can give yourself a head start by paying attention to their current style.


Set your Price Range

Giving yourself a budget to stick to can help you to narrow down your choice. This will automatically eliminate many styles and designs from your options and give you an idea of what you can realistically afford.


If you have a higher budget, then you can opt for custom designs and Find the best diamonds. In contrast, if you need to be more conservative with your spending, you can opt for commercial designs that don't come with as high a price.


What Will The Jewelery Represent?

It goes without saying that buying a ring for your mother will require different considerations than a ring you want to use to propose to your partner. The meaning behind the gift should be driving your choice. What this ring will signify and what it should be saying can allow you to tailor your choice and look for suitable options. Whether it is a gift to say well done for graduating college or confirming your commitment to a person, what it represents needs to be considered in the purchase decision.


Know The Materials

You need to know the type of materials you will be purchasing for your items. This includes the metal used and the type of gems in the piece, too. Doing your research not only into the kind of jewelry your loved one prefers but what you are actually paying for can allow you to make a more informed choice.

If you are purchasing an engagement ring, you should be looking at the different types of gems for engagement rings, looking at the 4 C's of diamonds if you want a diamond ring, which are Cut, Clarity, Colour, and Carat to help you ascertain what you can afford and know exactly what you are paying for. The more you know about jewelry, gems, and metals, the easier it will be to make the right purchase and know exactly what you are buying.
