This week: How to pick the right jewelry for your lady.
I'M CLUELESS WHEN IT COMES TO SHOPPING FOR JEWELRY. DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS IF I FEEL LIKE GETTING SOME FOR A GIRL?
We get it: Jewelry can be scary. It's pretty, sparkly and usually in a hue of the rainbow you wouldn't dare go near. But one thing is true: Ladies LOVE jewelry! Women of all ages and personalities appreciate a little bling to their daily look. And jewelry, more than other gifts, carries a heavy sentimental value. So, if you want your girl to wear something and think of you, go with jewelry! The only things that makes buying jewelry slightly complicated, fellas, are that it can be pricey and very specific to one's personality, style, and wardrobe.
To make buying jewelry for that special someone easy (and yes, fun) follow our helpful tips and tricks on how to buy jewelry and exactly what to get her based off on her personality ... all under $100.
Before you head to the store, think of the following factors:
1) Keep It Simple - Especially if it's your "first rodeo," get something simple that she could wear with lots of different outfits.
2) Is She a Gold or Silver Girl? - This can usually be determined by her watch and any piece of jewelry she wears on a frequent basis.
3) Check Her Out - Scope out her daily wardrobe. Take note if she wears a lot of color, only wears black, or already has 10 bracelets on her wrist.
4) Keep Your Ears Open - She could already be dropping hints of something she wants, therefore making your job that much easier, and the gift that much more meaningful.
All right, now that you know the basics, and you're ready to make the purchase, here are 10 pieces under $100 that are sure to wow your girlfriend:
