As the old adage says, ‘diamonds are a girl’s best friend.’
Is it really true that women will only be happy with diamonds? Are there other alternatives that are sure to please that new significant other? In fact, there are.
Men shouldn’t feel confined to the jewelry case of diamonds when it comes time to choose that initial gift. Women will be happy receiving any piece of jewelry as long as it represents his understanding of her personality. For example, if a woman’s favorite color is red, ruby jewelry is different and demonstrates that the man listens and picks up on her likes and dislikes. An important note about this is that men should not worry about birthstone; a woman can wear ruby jewelry even if she wasn’t born in July.
You should also not feel obligated to get the typical gift of earrings or a bracelet. Watches are a popular statement piece in fashion right now and can also make a great gift. It can be worn with almost anything, depending on its degree of fanciness. Citizen brand watches, for example, are reminiscent of Michael Kors watches in their design and the size of the face. They also cost less but look super expensive, which is always a bonus.
So for all of the men out there getting nervous about buying that “perfect” gift, there is nothing to be afraid of. Women surprisingly are not impossible to please and would be happy with a gift of jewelry of any kind, as long as it is thoughtful and personal.
