Gift giving is just one of the love languages you can use to show your love to your partner. The monetary value of your gift usually doesn’t matter because it’s the “thought that counts” when you have something you want to give to someone else. That’s not to say that couples should avoid giving jewelery as gifts.
In fact, when a man gives jewelery – of good quality – to his girlfriend, it usually signifies a serious change in the relationship and shows that he is committed and quite possibly in it for the sweet long term. If you take a look into the sparkling gifts your partner gave you, it gives you insight into the depth of his feelings for you.
He Doesn’t Skimp on Quality
When a man is truly devoted to you, he’s not going to skimp on quality. He won’t buy you costume jewelry but will invest in something that will last—like how he feels about your relationship. The gift doesn’t have to be very expensive to prove the extent of his devotion to you.
He also had to put a lot of thought into choosing such a gift for you, which is sure to express how much he knows and understands you inside and out. Besides the quality, the fact that it is carefully selected adds more value to the gift and makes you happy.
He Uses the Meaning behind Gemstones
Gemstones come in different sizes and colors and also differ in meaning. Choosing the right one can make your jewelery gift even more meaningful especially if you find the meaning behind the precious stone. The easiest route to go may be for your partner choose your birthstone.
I think a bit of spontaneity can be as good as choosing a sapphire because it brings it to your eyes and not just because this stone is said to symbolize loyalty as well as sincerity. Nature lovers might like green colored stones like emerald or jade. If your partner chooses the fiery stone garnet, it is said to symbolize love, passion as well as loyalty.
He Knows What Type You Are
Part of what makes the gift of jewelery special is when it is personalized to suit your wishes. If your significant other knows that you prefer earrings, then he or she knows to get you a pair instead of giving you a charm bracelet or necklace.
He’ll probably choose a design he knows you’ll like or something that reminds him of you. Some actually allow their partners to choose the jewelery they like, but I think that would ruin the surprise.
You can help your loved one by giving directions and browsing sites like David Yuriman so he can figure out what type you like and make it easier to choose something that suits you.
Jewelry Works Two Ways
Just because you’re a woman doesn’t mean you can’t give your man some jewelry. There is no double standard in gifting jewelry. You can tag a necklace or a ring but for the latter, you can get more creative like this geek-inspired ring for Batman fans. Bey may have sung about “Single Ladies” and how men should wear a ring on them if they are into it, why not be different and propose with this unique ring? If your future husband is a huge fan of the caped crusader then he won’t be able to say no.
If you or your partner isn’t quite ready for marriage, then you can compromise and settle for the next best thing – sealing your bond with a promise ring. If you are finally ready to embark on the next stage of your relationship, you can then replace your ring with a new promise when you say your vows with a wedding ring.
