7 Tips for Buying Jewellery for Your Significant Other

Did you know that 58% of women love to receive jewellery as a gift? But, that being said, buying jewellery for your spouse or partner can be challenging, mainly because jewellery is a relatively personal thing for people to buy and wear. Everyone has their own individual style, and that’s before you consider buying the right size jewellery for another person. It can be difficult to buy jewellery as a gift, but there are some things you can do to make it easier. Here are seven tips for buying jewellery for your significant other:

1. Pay close attention to their personal style

When buying jewellery for your significant other, it’s important that you pay close attention to what their individual style is. This ensures that you’re selecting jewellery pieces that will seamlessly blend into their existing jewellery collection. Additionally, you can take a look at their jewellery box to get an idea of the jewellery they prefer. It will provide you with some insight into the colour of metal they like, ring sizes, bracelet styles, necklace pendants and more. When looking at your partner or spouse’s existing jewellery collection, ask yourself the following questions:

• Do they prefer gold, silver, rose gold or a mixture of metals?
• Are they into bold or minimalist pieces?
• Do they seem to wear more rings, earrings, necklaces or bracelets?
• Are there pieces of jewellery in their collection that adorn diamonds and gemstones?
• Is their birthstone a prominent presence in their jewellery collection?

2. Consider the occasion

Why are you buying your significant other a new piece of jewellery? Is it a “push” present? Are you buying it for their birthday? Is it a Christmas present? Have they achieved one of their goals? Is it a “thank you” gift? While it might not seem like the occasion matters, it will determine certain things, like whether to have it engraved and what with, and whether to have their birthstone adorned on it, and so on. 

Personalisation can elevate a piece of jewellery into one that oozes sentimentality and meaning that can be passed down through the generations. Here at Little Star Jewellery, we can engrave jewellery free of charge when you buy jewellery suitable for engraving from us. With this in mind, here are just a few reasons to gift your partner or spouse a piece of jewellery:

• Birthdays
• Anniversaries
• “Push” presents
• Milestones
• Romantic gestures
• Celebration of a new job
• Engagement
• Marriage 

3. Know what size to buy

It’s important, when buying jewellery for someone else, that you know what size they take. This is the case for most jewellery pieces, including necklaces, bracelets, rings and bangles. Earrings are slightly different because, unless they’re huge hoops or long drop earrings, they’re pretty much a one-size-fits-all piece. 

This is what makes earrings such a simple yet effective gift for a significant other. You’ll be able to find out what size your spouse or partner takes by looking at their existing jewellery collection, or by enlisting the help of their friends and family. If you’re unsure, however, you could opt for adjustable jewellery pieces with flexible sizing options, for good measure.

4. Consider personalisation 

We’ve briefly touched on the idea of customisation in the form of engraving, but this is a great way of making your jewellery gift stand out from the crowd. It makes even the smallest piece of jewellery, gifted for any occasion, unforgettable and sentimental. This allows for a unique, one-of-a-kind piece of jewellery that you have clearly put a lot of thought into, giving it meaning in the process.

5. Set a budget & stick to it 

When buying jewellery for someone special, regardless of the occasion, it can be easy to pick out pieces that suit their taste and style without considering the price tag. You need to make sure that you’re searching for items that come within your price range and try not to deviate from that. 

Here at Little Star Jewellery, we have an extensive range of jewellery for both men and women, all of which has been made with incredible craftsmanship and to the highest possible quality and standards. Take a look at our stunning collections of jewellery for women and jewellery for men.

6. Always choose quality over quantity

If you’re looking for the perfect gift for your significant other, then the best thing would be to choose a quality piece of jewellery. This ensures that the jewellery you choose will stand the test of time and remain in the family for generations to come. Jewellery doesn’t have to be super flashy or incredibly expensive to be impressive. 

But quality jewellery is paramount, and that’s what you’d get from us here at Little Star Jewellery. Choose authentic silver, gold and rose gold metals, including plated jewellery and pay close attention to the craftsmanship and workmanship of the piece itself. A quality piece of jewellery will have lasting value both financially and sentimentally.

7. Think about the wearability of the piece you’re choosing

When buying jewellery for your significant other, think about what you want the piece to mean and where it should be worn. Do you want your spouse or partner to wear it every day, or do you want it to be worn for special occasions? Another thing you need to think about in terms of wearability is the lifestyle of your spouse or partner. Do they go to the gym a lot? Do they like swimming? Are they primarily in the office or at home? 

All of the above will dictate the type of jewellery you buy them. If they go to the gym or go swimming a lot, then you want to steer clear of jewellery containing stones. But you also need to make sure the jewellery can be easily cleaned and won’t discolour when coming into contact with sweat. Consider where the jewellery will be worn. This is also where buying quality jewellery will pay dividends.
