\"Cubic<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI have no idea what she\u2019d like.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think she\u2019d even wear it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat if it sends the wrong message?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no idea what the difference is between \u2018good\u2019 and \u2018bad\u2019 jewelry.\u201d<\/p>\n

These statements all have one thing in common: they\u2019re just excuses. Little problems we men either invent or exasperate to avoid buying the women in our lives what they really want for the holidays: jewelry. No matter what kind of person your special women is, how old she is, how long you\u2019ve been together, what your relationship is like or how long it\u2019s been going, you can bet that she would love to get some new jewelry from you this holiday.<\/p>\n

But buying jewelry can be hard \u2013 it doesn\u2019t come as naturally to most men as, say, buying a new TV or car parts. We have to dig in a little and figure this thing out, but don\u2019t worry, together we can wrap our heads around it. Good thing too, because even if you\u2019re not ready to give her that<\/em> piece of jewelry or if you already did decades ago, there are still lots of other great pieces of jewelry you can give her for the holidays.<\/p>\n

So, guys, let\u2019s put our heads together and get through this. And ladies, don\u2019t be shy about accidentally<\/em> leaving this blog open on your man\u2019s computer or subtly <\/em>posting it on Facebook for him to see.<\/p>\n

Give Her the Basics<\/strong><\/p>\n

As men, we often don\u2019t know what the heck we\u2019re looking at with jewelry, so we tend to try to just buy the flashiest thing we can afford. It\u2019s a strategy that works well for us in other buying situations, right? Not a car expert? Buy the biggest\/safest\/fastest one you can afford. Done. But jewelry is different. Women want something they can wear regularly. Diamond hoops, rolling bracelets, personal charms on long chains are good options here.<\/p>\n

Plan Ahead<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s already mid-December, so it\u2019s too late for you get this one right this year, but next year will arrive before you know it! The holidays are never as far away as they seem, and they have a habit of suddenly arriving. If you\u2019re like me, you like to wait. Here\u2019s a great tip: don\u2019t be like me. If you\u2019re out shopping somewhere in June and she sees a piece of jewelry she says she likes or even just seems to be spending a lot of time looking at, don\u2019t wait. Buy it and stash it for next holiday season.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Ignore the Classics<\/strong><\/p>\n

A classic sports car never goes out of style, right? Neither does a truly timeless piece of jewelry. Pieces with classic designs are going to look elegant no matter what year it is. If you\u2019re stuck on the difference between \u201ctimeless\u201d and just plain old, man up and ask the jeweler, or\u2026<\/p>\n

Bring a Female Friend Shopping<\/strong><\/p>\n

All women love jewelry, and most women love shopping, so it stands to reason that most of them love shopping for jewelry, right? Ask a female friend or relative to go jewelry shopping with you to get a woman\u2019s perspective on what you should buy for your special someone. This way you\u2019ll get expert advice from someone other than the jeweler, who has a vested interest in you buying what he\/she is selling.<\/p>\n

Choose the Right Type<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re thinking about earrings, you\u2019re probably on the right track, as simple diamond studs or high-quality cubic zirconia earrings<\/a> fit perfectly into every woman\u2019s wardrobe, no matter what day of the week is or what her style is like. Does she already have studs? Get her a set of diamond drops.<\/p>\n

Want something closer to the heart? Necklaces make great gifts. Check to see if she\u2019s missing any of the essentials: diamond pendants with her name or a meaningful word, charms with significant themes like a cross, Star of David, heart, her initial or four-leaf clover.<\/p>\n

Want something that\u2019s going to be completely visible to her and everyone else all day? A bangle with one or more diamonds is a great addition if she\u2019s the type to wear a stack of bracelets on her arm. Alternatively, diamond tennis bracelets are evergreen favorites. But if you really want to go all out with something fancy \u2013 keep in mind that she won\u2019t be wearing it every day, just on special occasions \u2013 then consider an elaborate filigree cuff.<\/p>\n

Finally, of course, you could get her a ring. If you\u2019re not already engaged or married, however, you need to be careful here. Consider something that\u2019s a bit on the trendy, fun side like a diamond or cubic zirconia ring accented by colored gemstones. Right-hand rings with floral designs (if she\u2019s the fancy type) or square-cut stones in bezel settings (if she prefers an understated look) are also great choices that she can wear almost every day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
