Taking your time and putting a lot of thought and consideration into your purchase will ensure you get the perfect jewellery you will be giving her as a gift and earn you some brownie points. Below are some of the mistakes you want to avoid when buying jewellery as a gift, so you can buy the woman you love the perfect gift.
Give Yourself An Education
Whether you are looking for fine jewellery, such as the most unique antique gold engagement rings in Sydney or in any other places around the world, you will want to educate yourself on the finer points of jewellery. If you are considering purchasing gemstone jewellery, you will want to learn about the four Cs, which are as follows:
- Cut – The shape of the gemstone and how many facets it has.
- Clarity – How clear the gem is and if it has any imperfection.
- Colour – The colour of the gemstone and how intense it is.
- Carat – The size and weight of the gem.
There is plenty of information available you can find using the internet that can help educate yourself on what you need to know and consider when buying gemstone jewellery.
Set Yourself A Budget
Many people do not consider the budget carefully and then make a purchase they regret when they find out it is massively overpriced. You will need to avoid impulse buying and set yourself a realistic budget and ensure you stick to it. If you are purchasing vintage or antique jewellery through a private sale, for example, you may be able to negotiate the price of what you want to buy, but this is unlikely from many stores you find on the high street.
Knowing The Correct Size
When you purchase an item of jewellery as a gift for the lady in your life, you will want her to wear it immediately, and to do this, you will need to know the correct size to get. When you are purchasing a ring, they are available in various sizes, so if you want her to wear it as soon as you give it, you will need to know what size her finger is. You can then find a ring you like and that your partner will love, and have it resized before you give it to her. There are shops that offer repair and remodelling of pieces as fragile as antique jewellery.
Know What Your Lady Loves

You will also need to find out what the love of your life likes in jewellery, and you will need to be subtle if you are planning a surprise. You can solicit the help of friends and family who may know precisely what jewellery she likes, and it can help ensure that you get something suitable. However, make sure they can keep a secret; otherwise, they may let the cat out of the bag and spoil your surprise.
