Knowing your girlfriend’s style is the first step to finding the perfect jewelry piece for her.  Below we have listed a few common styles that will help you decipher where your girl falls and which pieces would work best with her.

What’s Her Style?

Tomboy

Tomboy style is for the effortlessly cool girlfriend. The one that steals your v-necks wears them out and still manages to look like a rockstar.  She wears graphic tees to concerts and distressed shirts to work.  She frequently shops at the boy’s section and always goes for a size bigger.  If this sounds like your girl, she needs a jewelry piece that will flow with her effortlessly hip appeal, such as a gorgeous minimal necklace.

Romantic

Maybe she’s a hopeless romantic who unveils her love for love with her flirty appeal.  You often find her in ruffles, florals, hearts, lace, and pinkish hues. Her hair is usually in loose gorgeous waves that twirl about when she’s walking. When you look at her, you think of a romance novel. Floral themed jewelry, like a stunning floral diamond ring, would be the perfect fit for her.

Chic

The chic girlfriend is always fashionable.  You can find her in the latest trends, at up and coming stores, and continuously updating her look like it’s her job.  Chic is synonymous with stylish and cool.  Thus, everything she wears looks structured and put together.  Her outfits are always tailored, and her accessories hip.  If this sounds like her, keep her in trend with these gorgeous ear cuffs.

Classic

The girl that possesses a classic style makes sure comfort is key.  She keeps it simple and true to herself.  You won’t see her in funky spiky wedges, but find her in ballet-flats.  She often wears wide-legged trousers and ironed button-down blouses.  Her outfits are structured, sharp, and graceful. Elegant and classic jewelry would speak to her the most.  She would adore these classic diamond studs!


What’s the Occasion?

Here’s a simple but crucial question, what’s the occasion? Jewelry is always the right way to go in gift-giving or to show how much you love your leading lady. Yet, it can sometimes give off the wrong message if not executed in tune with the occasion.

Birthdays & Anniversaries:  These are milestones in a relationship, and girlfriends do look forward to the gifts they receive.  This is where knowing her taste is of the utmost importance.  If you’ve noticed that she stays in trend, get her a pair of princess cut diamond studs.  If she likes a more classic look, stick to classic round cut diamond stud earrings. Depending on how long you’ve been together, you can upgrade the size of the carrot.

“Just Because”: This gift of jewels will already be sweet because it is merely expressing how much you care. Keep it fun and go with bangles, a funky necklace, or some extra fragrant earrings.

Maybe it’s Christmas? Emeralds and rubies are gorgeous gemstones and stay with the theme of Christmas.

Thoughtfulness Counts

Whatever affordable jewelry you decide to go with, make sure it comes with careful consideration.  What will make this piece perfect, aside from the flawless fix of jewels, is the way you present your gift to your girlfriend. If it is clear that you did your homework and tried to find a special gift, success is yours, and so is she. Doing so says that you invested your time and effort in finding her this gift. It also shows how well you know her, or that you tried to accommodate to her taste, and that can make all the difference!
