The Meaning Of Jewelry

Each piece of jewelry comes with a special message, and at various points of your relationship, you want to make sure that you give the piece that says what you want it to say and not more or less. In fact, depending on the relationship you have with the person you are giving it, too, even if they are not your girlfriend, you have to think about what the jewelry of choice is stating, as in what kind of significance the piece has and what you are communicating when you decide to bestow that piece upon them.

Now, if you are searching for jewelry for your mother or your sister, the rules do not really apply that strictly, it is kind of an open decision on your part when it comes to your relatives, particularly the really close ones. You can get things that hold their birthstones, in forms of necklaces, rings, and or bracelets and earrings. Depending on their preference, you want to make sure you get things that look kind of like what you have seen them wear before, do not go fancy and out of the box with style because chances are they will not even wear it if it is too divergent from their usual style. So, pay attention to their collection and get something that is in that vein. Usually, women prefer earrings or rings or necklaces over the other, so keep that in mind when selecting something for them and you will be sure to find something that they truly love.

If the gift is for your girlfriend, then you really have to take it in consideration of how long you two have been together and exactly how serious the bond is between the two of you. If it is very serious, then you can go ahead and get real jewelry like real gold and real stones, but try to avoid rings unless you want to get engaged. Giving a ring suggests approaching nuptials and unless you want to take that step, then you do not want to give a real ring at this point. Now, if the relationship is new, then you want to avoid real pieces because that will give a strange and kind of too strong message that will not be very effective at this point. Especially if the relationships hits the rocks, you will have just given away some real expensive jewelry and that will not be a very good thing for you.

Instead stick with imitation jewelry, maybe necklaces or earrings, or even some inexpensive lab created stones or false diamonds that have a lot of glister and that might be better than something that is very costly and sends the entire wrong message to the person, particularly if the bond between you is brand new. In fact, if it is very new, you might want to avoid jewelry altogether. Similarly, if you are shopping for a female friend, you might want to avoid jewelry, as it is a romantic thing.
