Finding a gift that is even half as beautiful as your wife isn’t easy, but with Christmas season coming quickly, it’s time to figure out what she’s likes.

Jewelry is the perfect gift for the woman in your life, but not every piece is something she’ll love. What’s the solution? How can you buy jewelry that you know she’ll adore?

Take a look at our quick step-by-step Christmas jewelry shopping guide to prepare yourself for this holiday season.

Step #1. Pay Attention to Innuendos

Now is not the time to slack off listening to your wife. When you’re watching TV with her and a jewelry commercial comes on, listen to what she says. Does she oohh and ahhh at a particular item? Make a mental note.

Your wife may even be leaving jewelry catalogues laying around the house, pick them up and see what’s on the page she’s left it open to.

If she doesn’t make things that easy, you could also drop hints of your own asking what colors she loves (you should already know this by the way), and pay attention to jewelry she’s bought for herself in the past. Look for hints in weird places and keep your eyes open.

Step #2. Shop According to Her Personality

Your wife is unique, and her jewelry should be too. Start by writing out key aspects of her personality. Is she a trendsetter? Does she lean more towards the practical side of life? Is she super fun? Does she enjoy romance?

Identify the things you love about her and shop accordingly. For example, if your wife is fun and bubbly, look for colorful, sparkly and vibrant items like our blue topaz drop earrings with sterling metal. Follow this theme and you’re sure to make your wife smile.

Step #3. Don’t Listen to Sales Clerks

The bottom line is sales clerks are simply there to make a commission. They have no problem telling you your wife will love something without even meeting her, so that should say something.

We’re not suggesting that you should ask for advice from sales clerks, but definitely don’t let their judgement cloud your own. You know your wife, so listen to your gut instincts.

Step #4. Buy Her Something She’ll Wear

It’s tempting to buy your wife something truly extravagant and out of this world. However, it’s far more intelligent to buy her something she’ll want to wear every day.

Depending on her personality, she may very well appreciate something she can wear at special events, but the goal is to buy her something she’ll at least wear a handful of times.

Step #5. You Can NEVER Go Wrong with Precious Stones

Precious stones like diamonds, topaz, rubies, and even pearls are always in season. No matter what type of jewelry you buy her, going with precious stones is sure to get you a kiss or two.

Compliment the stones with precious metals like gold, platinum, or silver to really set it off and make her eyes light up.

Make Her Proud with Your Selection

Focus on buying something that represents your love for your wife and don’t go crazy with spending money. Remember, she loves you for who you are. She deserves something beautiful, so do your research, listen to her, and browse as much as you can before you make a decision. You’ll be the best Santa ever if you do!
