Gift Buying Top Tips
One of the best ways to buy jewelry she'll love is to by jewelry in the style that she loves. And before you panic that you have no idea how to tell which style she loves, let us make it super easy: generally style can be broken down into three main categories: Classic; Modern and Romantic. So here is how to work out which of these styles suits here best and a suggestion of which jewelry gifts will go best with that style:
Classic
A classic and sophisticated style is very elegant and ladylike - just think Grace Kelly! So if your lady is a classic dresser, her clothes are likely to include tailored jackets and skirts, a little black dress, the timeless white shirt and sharp trousers. The classic look tends to be understated but faultless, always crisp and with a typically neutral or monochrome base of color. With such an enduringly beautiful dress style, she deserves enduringly beautiful and classic jewelry!
For the classic and sophisticated lady, you simply cannot go wrong with buying her a gift of diamonds, especially a pair of diamond stud earrings or a beautiful diamond solitaire pendant. Classic in style and timelessly elegant these will complement her wardrobe perfectly as well as adding some stunning sparkle.
Modern
A girl with a modern and stylish look will dress in a fun, fresh way that always has a nod to contemporary trends in fashion. Jeans and dresses will be her wardrobe staples along with trend led pastels, prints and sport looks. Accessories are a big part of the modern look and beautiful wearable pieces with personality will complement many of her outfits.
When it comes to buying jewelry gifts for a lady with modern style personalized initial pendants are sweet and contemporary and with yellow gold coming back into fashion in a big way, they are also bang on trend. Hoop earrings also work perfectly with almost every modern look at the moment, with their style and sparkle they can add both attitude and glamour to her look. If you want to buy something with a splash of color, natural color gemstone earrings are beautiful gifts which can be used to accessories matching and contrasting clothes making them hugely versatile and fun.
Romantic
Feminine and pretty the romantic style is a real girls girl style, she will love florals, layering, soft knits and pretty detailing. Skirts and trousers which drape will feature heavily in a romantic style dressers wardrobe and there will likely be a good smattering of pastels, if not pink, then in particular, yellow, green and amethyst.
Jewelry which is delicate with pretty detailing makes a thoughtful and beautiful gift for those that have a romantic style. Jewelry which features hearts will tap into her romantic sensibilities as well as working beautifully with her feminine clothes. The beautiful soft luster of pearls, particularly drop pearl earrings or a pretty pearl necklace will work beautifully with many romantic style clothes making them a very wearable as well as a very beautiful gift.
Jewelry is a perfect gift for marking a Special Occasion, enduring and valuable, fine jewelry lends itself particularly well to being a lasting, precious and wearable memory.
If your wife is not a big jewelry wearer, but for your anniversary, especially a significant anniversary, you would like to treat her to a special, symbolic piece of jewelry, an anniversary ring is a great way to go about it. If rings aren't quite her style, we also have a range of beautiful natural gemstone jewelry that are perfect as anniversary gift.
To help make your choice of jewelry a bit easier, each wedding anniversary is marked with a different symbolic precious metal or gemstone and it is very romantic touch to make the jewelry gift chosen for any given Anniversary tie in with the associated gemstone or material.

Understand Her Color Scheme
If you want to by her the perfect jewelry gift, then you have to buy a piece of jewelry that she will really love and not the piece that you love even although recognizing the jewelry you love is probably much easier! To find out what to find the right gift for her is, think about the color of her eyes, her hair, her wardrobe, and the jewelry that she already has in her jewelry collection. Some gemstones, such as pink sapphire, especially if worn as earrings, can look stunning on a blonde but can almost get lost on a brunette who instead might suit blue sapphire or blue topaz better. If she has a jewelry box full of yellow gold jewelry, it is unlikely that she will every wear a white gold piece that you buy her as it wont co-ordinate with any of her existing jewelry. So before you spend your money, do your research, you would if you were buying a TV and she is much more important than that – right?
There is a Set of "Must-Have" Jewelry
There are some pieces of jewelry that all girls MUST have. That doesn't mean all of the pieces must be bought at the same time, but over time, her collection will grow and these key pieces will be the lynchpin. Think of it like the equivalent of the capsule wardrobe, pretty much everyone has black trousers and a white blouse! So what are these must haves?

- Initial Charms: a pretty, personal, go anywhere type of necklace that can add some lighthearted glamour to any outfit, popular since the middle ages, the styles may have changed, but an initial charm pendant is still a winner.
