What NOT to give as your first Jewelry Gift (Don't be that guy!)
January 12, 2011 Jewelry 2 comments
So Single Guys, when is the right time to give jewelry as a gift? Is it after one month of dating, six months, or is it one year?
The right gift to give depends on two things: The current stage of your relationship and the special someone in question. If you've been together for a short time (from the first date to three months), forget the jewelry. Although most women like shiny and sparkly things, giving jewelry too early, especially diamonds might give her the wrong impression. Try flowers, sweets, take her to the theater, or to that Special Exhibit at the Art Museum (without whining and complaining).
When you're ready to give the gift of jewelry, I will tell this, it's never a good idea to give a girl a Ring as a gift. If she gets it too early it will freak her out and if you been together for a long time, she expecting the real deal (We've all seen it in the movies and on TV, she gets a small box, she gets excited and then disappointed. Don't be that guy!) So if your relationship is still in its early stage, the wrong gift may give the wrong impression. If you've been together for a long time and you aren't ready to propose marriage, don't confuse things with a Ring, even with a Gemstone Ring. I've seen those get misinterpreted. So tread lightly with the gift of Rings...
This is very important, so I will repeat again: Definitely, DEFINITELY do not buy a diamond ring if you aren't proposing.
What I can suggest are bracelets, necklaces, pendants, and earrings. Women love earrings, they love accessorizing for the occasion. Can't go wrong with a nice pair of earrings (just make sure her ears are pierced.)
As for you Married Men: Go ahead and get your wife a nice ring, she'll love the attention.
