Please make sure you have checked out our guide; “choosing the right category for her taste” as it contains lengthy information about the different types of jewelry available for a gift purchase. In choosing the right category… we talk about some insight on purchasing necklaces, pendants, slides, earrings, bracelets and rings.

Choosing the right style is really about “the look” of jewelry your gift recipient usually wears and matching her taste to your gift purchase.

Some women wear little jewelry. They like jewelry but like to keep in simple and subtle. I would not buy any large, bulky pieces for this person.

Other women might wear a lot of jewelry or bolder, bigger pieces. A dainty or small piece might not fit in with their jewelry style. If price is a problem in this scenario, you might want to consider a single charm to add to a charm bracelet (if she has one) or a pendant to put on a chain she already has.

I’d like to say that age might play a factor, but don’t forget that age can be a state if mind. We have really cool enamel beach jewelry that I can see being “trendy” or liked by a younger group. On the other hand, I can see my mother wearing it in the summer time. So I say personality will dominate age.

There are many adjectives I might use to describe some of the different pieces of jewelry we have. Some that come to mind are: trendy, classic, nautical (of course), sophisticated, playful, casual, bold, dainty, colorful, beautiful, striking etc… When you see a piece that you would like to buy, try to match some of the adjectives to the person or person’s jewelry already owned.
