No matter the occasion, a jewelry gift for your wife is a gesture that will serve you major bonus points.
Most women love to feel spoiled by their spouses–and jewelry is a timeless way to make your wife feel pampered.
While it can be overwhelming to choose the right gift amongst seemingly unlimited options, a little know-how will make it easier.
Here, we break down how to choose the perfect gift for your wife while pulling back the curtain on some of the best jewelry gifts women love.
Best Jewelry Gifts for Your Wife
One look at the jewelry market and it’s not hard to notice the countless pieces with 5-figure price tags. A walk down Rodeo Drive or a stroll through any Tiffany & Co. store can confirm this.
However, it’s possible to find quality pieces without going into debt for jewelry gifts your wife will love.
No, you won’t find any Walmart mentions here–and you’ll still need to shell out at least a few hundred dollars per piece for lasting quality. Read on to learn more about how to select budget-friendly quality jewelry.
How to Choose a Jewelry Gift for Your Wife
To find the ideal gift for your girl, there are a few key aspects you’ll need to consider. Don’t buy anything before analyzing the factors listed below.
- Her aesthetic. While many women enjoy similar accessories, nuances matter. For example, some girls prefer bold statement pieces over minimalist classics (and vice versa). Observing her aesthetic and the jewelry your woman has picked out for herself and wears regularly will clue you in as to what kind of jewelry she prefers.
- Metal preferences. Take a look at whether she wears gold, silver, or a combination of the two. Getting her a silver necklace when all of her other jewelry is gold might make it more challenging to pair with other accessories. Stick to the metal preference you see her wear most often.
- Longevity. There’s a reason you won’t find cheap outlets here when it comes to jewelry. Quality matters not only because of appearance but also because of how many uses you get out of each piece. The longevity of jewelry largely depends on how it’s made, how durable its materials are and the quality of those materials. Well-made pieces can even become family heirlooms.
- Versatility. To optimize your gift, stick with pieces that can match with many outfits. Sure, it’s fun to gift a flashy turquoise statement necklace, but it might stay stuck in her jewelry box if it doesn’t match anything she normally wears. Factor each piece’s versatility into your decision process to ensure the jewelry not only gets worn–but gets worn often.
It’s worth noting that the type of jewelry your wife wears will also play a part in which gift she’ll likely wear the most. If she’s more of a necklace girl than she is an earring girl, opt for a necklace to make your gift a hit.
