Gifting Yourself: The Perfect Jewelry Buying Guide

Posted on the 11 February 2016 by Ncrimaldi @MsCareerGirl

I believe that whoever is reading this post is a modern independent woman. Independent in the sense that you do what you want to get what you know that you need. You do not have to wait for somebody to get it for you. It does not matter if it is a car, handbag, or a pair of shoes of a wonderful holiday. You can get it for yourself. Let's talk about buying ourselves the jewelry!

I know Valentine's Day is approaching fast, and, many females are excited about what they are going to get. We are unique. As an independent woman, you can also get excited about what you will get yourself for any day, not just Valentine's. It is for this reason that I present a beautiful and detailed guide to buying yourself a wonderful gem.

Know your style

As you decide on the type of jewelry you need, make sure you know your style. Your style can be determined by several factors. One is your type of job, the second is the intended occasion and third is your wardrobe choice. If you like casual or official wear, find matching accessories.

Girls' earrings make up a woman's choice of jewelry in a big way. There are numerous stores where you can shop for all types and styles of these, but I specially love the ones from UNOde50, a Spanish brand I've just discovered. Your Budget

After your style, the weight of your purse determines the kind of jewel you buy yourself. The reason I go to popular jewelry stores is because they price their products according to quality and material. The risk of buying fake is non-existent. You will find that the more complex a piece of jewelry is, the costlier it is bound to be. Similarly, a gold-plated ring will cost more than a silver-plated one.

In this instance, weigh your purse and go for what satisfied your desire without draining you. Just be sure to spare some gas money for that date you are having tomorrow evening!

Standard or bombshell?

Finally, dear girl, you need to know why or what you are buying the jewelry for. You might be doing it for a special event like a black-tie charity or theater opening. In such cases, go for the bombshell items. This is where color and style apply most. For example, if attending either of the mentioned events, go for a ring with a big gemstone. A gold chain with a diamond pendant also does the trick.

On the standard (basic) aspect, you have the condensed type of jewelry function. In this, we are talking about finding a fine watch or simple earrings that take you through the working week. Whatever your decision, head over to UNOde50 Online Jewelry store and find the perfect gem to quench your need. In my case, I find them quite satisfactory. They stock just any accessories you might need.

There you have it, a summary of the considerations to take as you go about buying jewelry. You will find it quite easy to find the perfect treasure as opposed to blindly going into the store and picking anything. Have fun at it!
