Learn His/Her Taste in Jewelry
It’s obviously important to know the style of jewelry your significant other prefers. Does he/she like gold, silver, rose gold, or platinum? What does he/she compliment when they see it worn by someone else? What is their favorite color? What jewelry does he/she wear the most already? Paying attention to all these little clues will help you choose something that your significant other will love.
If you’re getting a diamond ring, you obviously have to worry about choosing a beautiful diamond, including choosing a shape (princess? round? marquis?) that she’s always dreamed of. If you’re considering other gemstones, of course it’s important to choose one your significant other likes and will enjoy wearing. Some tips include choosing a color that will look good with your significant other’s hair color, eye color, and/or skin tone. You may also consider choosing a stone that may hold some significance, such as a birthstone.
Lastly, knowing your significant other’s general sense of style & fashion is important. Is he/she trendy or conservative, a nature-lover or a city-dweller? Bold or refined? Answering these questions can help you to determine the designers you should consider & the style of the jewelry you purchase.
Read Up On The 4 C’s of Diamond Grading
Anyone shopping for a diamond must go to school on the 4 C’s of diamond grading, which stand for carat, clarity, color and cut. By knowing the 4 C’s of diamond grading, you can be sure about whether or not you’re choosing a quality diamond and getting a good value on its price.
Knowing the 4 C’s of diamond grading can also help you to know if you’re spending a lot of money on a good quality diamond ring or spending money on something subpar.
Don’t Fall for Flashy Sales!
Sure, receiving a large percentage off a piece of jewelry for Valentine’s Day may seem like a good deal – but remember to consider the reasons why the jewelry is on sale to begin with.
The particular piece may be overstock and therefore less desirable, it could be an outdated style, or be of low quality or flawed in some other way. Be an educated buyer and do your due diligence to avoid sales on jewelry that may not be the quality you desire or that your significant other deserves.
Also, don’t be afraid to shop around to get an idea of different available options. You may find a ring more suited for your significant other’s tastes, or you may find a similar ring for less elsewhere. And remember that jewelers have access to far more pieces than what are available on display in their showrooms. Don’t see something that grabs you? Ask! A jeweler has access to a large amount of jewelry that they can get on-site within a matter of days.
