Besides determining face shape where we discussed in the last blog, selecting a thoughtful earring gift also involves considering the occasion and her dressing styles. Now considering each question:
What’s the occasion?
What are you celebrating? The perfect gift matches the sentiment of the occasion you’re buying it for. Let her know that it’s something you put thought and attention into.
Her Birthday: Birthdays are a special and personal day, and earrings should reflect that. A pair that incorporates her birthstone or her initials can make for a thoughtful personal touch. If not, something that compliments her personal style is a good way to go.
Your Anniversary: An anniversary present should celebrate the intimate connection the two of you have built. Romantic symbols such as hearts, infinity signs, or roses will communicate this message.
Christmas and Holidays: Holidays like Christmas are an opportunity to show your partner how much you care. Get her something special but most importantly sentimental. Really consider her interests and what she would most want to receive.
What’s Her Style?
You want your gift to be thoughtful and special, and ideally this means that she will actually wear the jewelry you give her. Each woman has a unique style that is specific to them and them alone. Your goal is to find earrings that will fit seamlessly into her wardrobe.
What are her outfits like?
Each person dresses differently for different occasions. You wouldn’t wear the same thing to the grocery store that you would to a party. Pick an occasion then imagine her typical outfit in that occasion.
Are you looking for something she would wear in casual, every-day attire?
Think about what earrings she typically wears with her day to day outfits. Most people prefer something simple and minimal, something that won’t be a hassle, but you know your woman better than us. If she likes extravagant, bold colors, match that.
Are you thinking of something more special?
For special events like parties, something eye-catching would be natural. However, for more formal occasions like a black tie event, it’s better to keep it classy with pieces like studs or perhaps small hoops.
Is She a Minimalist or a Maximalist?
Most people tend to fall into one of these broad categories of minimalism or maximalism. Minimalists tend to prefer simple and sleek jewelry designs while maximalists prefer the bold and eccentric.
Observe which of these categories her current earrings fall into and try to match it when conducting your search.
