A gift of fine jewelry is perfect for any woman.  So when a man wants to please his lady, he needs to head to the jewelry store; not the discount store or the bargain bin, but the fine jewelry store.

The best way to choose a piece of jewelry is to pay attention to what she wears and what she says.  Do not buy her a bracelet if you never see her wearing bracelets, unless she comments she would love a bracelet because she does not have any!  In this case, you have a great idea for a gift.

If you have absolutely no idea what to buy, gold or pearls are really a safe bet.  Choose white gold, rose gold or yellow gold but make sure you get it right! Show a salesperson your lady’s photo and let her guide you what jewelry to buy.

Be sensible.  Buy jewelry in proportion to the woman or she will look ridiculous!  A petite woman can look silly in chunky jewelry and a thin gold chain will be practically invisible on the neckline of a larger or taller lady. 

Rings are special and are best reserved for a committed relationship.  But you need to get the size right.  Too small and she may think you are telling her she needs to lose weight!  Too big and it will be uncomfortable to wear.

Earrings are usually wonderful gift ideas, if she actually likes earrings!  Check whether she wears pierced or clip-on earrings and make sure you buy the right ones.  Why not sneak a peek at her current earring collection when she is not watching?

And when you are ready to buy, remember you can get the best jewelry bargain when you buy online.

Pearl jewelry is some of the most elegant and classic jewelry a woman can own.  It can be dressed up or down and can be equally worn with a crisp white shirt and pair of blue jeans or a sensational evening dress.  In fact, it is possible to transform a casual look into something very special just by adding some pearl jewelry.

And this is what makes pearls an essential jewelry piece for any woman.  A pair of pearl stud earrings is one of the true must-have pieces and with the current trends for different colors of pearls, there really is no reason not to have more than one pair!

If you are looking to buy a first pair of pearl earrings, string of pearls, or indeed any other piece of pearl jewelry, the best advice is to keep it simple.  If you have no idea whether you should buy Tahitian, Akoya or freshwater pearls, go with the most affordable white or cream pearls in the first instance and keep the pair of black Tahitian pearl earrings as something to aspire to.

Freshwater pearls come in a wide range of colors and shapes, according to which mollusc species cultivated them.  It is common for the small nucleus of freshwater pearls to be drilled out during the setting process, which means that freshwater pearls are often pure nacre.  This makes them robust and gives them a wonderful lustre.  With proper care and gentle cleaning, they should last a lifetime and beyond!  Pearls make great heirloom pieces.

What else comes in so many colors and shapes, is wonderful quality and likely to stay stunningly beautiful for a lifetime?  Whether you buy hand made bracelets, chandelier drop earrings or something else, freshwater pearls are a must have accessory!
