Jewellery can be an amazing gift for a loved one on a special occasion like their anniversary or birthday. Choosing a piece can be as easy as a breeze. However, shopping for someone else’s jewellery can be challenging, especially regarding their taste or preferences. Will they love what you choose, and will they wear it? Here are five tips for buying jewellery for a loved one. 

  • Find out what they like

Before you purchase jewellery for your loved one, there are a few things you need to know or consider. Your gift might not be well received if you choose what you like and ignore the fact that this person has a unique taste. Do they prefer bracelets or necklaces? Is it good to buy handpieces if they work with their hands a lot? Do they prefer gold or diamonds? What is their ring size? You can ask them indirectly or ask their best friend. The information you gather will help you choose the right gift for them. 

  • Know the materials

Precious metals, stones, or gems come in different grades and prices. They include silver, gold, and other metals. Gold’s purity is measured in carats, while silver is measured in millesimal fineness. For instance, 24 karats are pure gold with no additional metal. When it comes to diamonds, there is a grading system to determine their value. It would also help to educate yourself with the diamond prices guide to plan your budget. 

  • Choose classic pieces

If you want to keep your gift a secret, you can skip asking questions and choose a classic piece. This choice will make a meaningful gift. An example is birthstone jewellery, a special birthday gift because it stays relevant. If you are getting jewellery for your partner, a locket with a picture of you together will be a heartwarming gift. 

  • Aim for quality

Before considering the price, you need to take certain precautions to ensure that you are getting quality pieces. You will need to ask for recommendations from friends and family. A person who has purchased from the same jeweler is likely to be sincere with their reviews. You can garner more customer reviews from social media as well. Ask your jeweller about the stone or metal and their certifications. When shopping, take a second person as a backup or second opinion. 

  • Know your budget

How much are you willing to spend on your loved one’s gift? For instance, if your budget is small for 24-carat gold, you can opt for sterling silver. When it comes to diamonds, for instance, what you buy is what you get. If you want high-grade diamonds, your budget must be sufficient to get that quality. Ensure that you have enough money before you consider buying such a gift.

Buying jewellery as a gift is one of the ways to make a loved one feel extra special, but shopping for one can be daunting. Use these tips to make your shopping experience super easy.
