Nothing says ‘I love you’ like buying your wife jewelry on her birthday or your anniversary, well besides perhaps actually saying ‘I love you’ to your wife. Few other gifts really show your ever lasting love and devotion like a special necklace, ring, bracelet or ear rings. The unique mystique and timeless beauty of jewelry makes it the perfect gift to celebrate the special occasions in life.

However, as a man, you probably don’t know the first thing about jewelry. Not to fear though, buying jewelry doesn’t have to feel like an impossible quest for perfection. Below are some basic tips to help you pick out the right piece:

Look at your wife’s current jewelry

You can learn a lot about your wife or girlfriends taste in jewelry by sneaking a peek at what she already has. Pay attention to what her favorite is and what she wears the most. You can also get an idea of her ring size and what length she prefers her necklace or earrings to be. Just be sure not to get caught going trough her jewelry box.

What is her style and personality like?

And how does that match her likes in jewelry. If she is a hopeless romantic, then chances are good she would be delighted to get a heartshaped pendant of some sort. If she is classic and traditional, then she’ll love some timeless gold and diamond ear rings. If she is trendy, maybe consider getting something a little more edgy, but it’s better not to buy something to crazy. You can also supplement some jewelry she already has by buying personalized charms that come in all sizes and shapes. Next up, it’s time to ask her friends.

What does her friends and family recommend?

Her female friends and family are very likely to have a good idea about what her taste in jewelry is like. You can get them to show you what she was looking at when she was window shopping. If you know she goes to a particular shop, you can always go by there and ask the sales person what she bought the last time.

Now you are ready to go out and get your wife jewelry. Be sure to buy from a reputed shop whether it’s offline or online.
