Yellow Diamonds

Yellow diamonds are pretty safe, not as safe as white diamonds, however. These are a very popular colored diamond. If you are between yellow diamonds and a colored stone, like rubies and sapphires, choose yellow.

Birthstones

Its appropriate to gift a younger girl or a mother birthstone jewelry. Birthstone jewelry tends to be much more inexpensive, so it is a good starter piece for a young girl.  As for mothers, its become a popular gift to incorporate all of her children’s birthstones into one piece. For example, if she has three children, there will be three stones in each of the child’s birthstone.

Style

Now that you’ve decided the stone or gem that you want. It’s time to decide what piece of jewelry you want to buy.

For a younger girl, earrings are a good choice if she has pierced ears. If not, a ring or necklace are both good.

For the other ladies, you should decide what would fit her lifestyle. If she is a business woman, a diamond ring is appropriate. Women who are doctors, nurses, or medical professionals who often wear gloves, earring or necklaces may be better. A ring can easily tear a glove. If your lady is active in sports, earrings could be better than a necklace, because necklaces can easily be pulled off. For child care workers, stud earrings are a great option because little children often pull on necklaces and dangling earrings.

When you are ready to buy jewelry, think about her fashion. Is she dressy? Super casual? What is her lifestyle? Business or a women always in gloves and scrubs? Let her lifestyle and fashion guide you.
