Never fear: we can help you find perfect gifts for your wife, girlfriend, daughter, mother or friend with our 6 step gift giving guide. Also take a look at our guide to selecting timeless jewellery gifts for her.
Let's dive in ...
1. WHAT DOES SHE WEAR?
If possible (and without being creepy, of course) try to sneak a look at her jewellery collection when she's not around to see what she has in her stash. This is a great way to get an idea of what she likes to wear.
Ask yourself some questions about what you see:
Are her jewellery pieces generally small and subtle? Or larger and intended to be eye-catching?
Does she prefer silver jewellery or gold jewellery? Or a mixture?
Do you see her wearing coloured jewellery or just plain metal jewellery pieces?
If her jewellery is colourful, is there a dominant colour or type?
Is there a colour or type of gemstone jewellery she favours?
Does she have a preferred design theme, for example: flowers, geometric designs, minimalist forms, hearts or flourishes?
Do you think she has a preference for wearing a particular type of jewellery: necklaces, earrings or rings?
What specific styles of jewellery does she favour: dangle earrings or stud earrings, chain necklaces or necklaces with pendants, simple stacking rings or bigger cocktail rings?
2. WHAT TYPE OF PERSON IS SHE?
You'll also find it helpful just to think about the type of person she is when you're choosing a gift:
Is she unlikely to buy anything special for herself? Can you make up for this?
Is she outgoing and enjoys attention, or the opposite?
Is she sentimental and does she like sentimental gifts, such as birthstone jewellery or other meaningful jewellery pieces?
Does she like dressing up to go out?
Would she enjoy a piece of bolder statement jewellery to wear for special occasions?
3. WHAT DOES SHE DO?
Another thing to consider is what activities your gift recipient does day-to-day:
Does she work in a job where she needs to look smart or more casual?
Is she able to wear jewellery day-in, day-out, or only when going out socially?
How often does she go out? Special occasions only or more regularly?
Does she have small children which might make regularly wearing long necklaces or dangly earrings difficult?
Are there any special occasions coming up which she's likely to dress up for?
Does she like to wear everyday jewellery and could do with more variety in her wardrobe basics?
4. PHONE A FRIEND
It's a really great idea to ask one of her friends or close family members what they think she might like:
Has she mentioned any particular items she's been thinking about getting lately?
What do they think about any gifts you currently have in mind?
Do they have any clues as to her preferred types of jewellery, ring size, colours, etc.?
5. GOT SOME IDEAS: NOW WHAT?
Hopefully answering some of these questions has given you a good starting point to figure out what you'd like to get for your gift recipient.

6. FINISHING TOUCHES
Once you've chosen the perfect gift, don't forget those finishing touches that really do make a difference.
Get a gift card to go with the gift and write a heartfelt message on it. Sometimes a meaningful gift card can be the best part of receiving a present from someone special.
Also don't forget gift wrapping. Unwrapping a gift is a ritual that people love and it shows you've gone to extra effort to treat them. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, but do put a little bit of work into make your gift that bit more special and exciting.
