10 Common mistakes when you buying jewellery

Choosing a jewellery for her or for him can be a difficult thing to do. The problem takes on alarming proportions if the jewellery is bought as a surprise gift. The recipient cannot be involved in the selection process, which means that everything has to be done on their own. Even after thoroughly researching a person's taste preferences, it's difficult to hit the target and choose exactly the ring or bracelet that will please them 100%. We have decided to protect you from slip-ups and have collected the ten most common mistakes made by consumers when choosing jewellery.

 

Make sure to try it on

 

Jewellery should always be tried on before purchase. A piece of jewellery may look great on a velvet backing, but that doesn't mean it will shine on the customer in the same way. Every girl has her own face type, ear shape and neck length. For example, round cheeks are more suitable for long earrings. They will also help to visually slightly elongate the short neck. Small ears will adorn absolutely any earrings, and for the big better to choose a modest brace.

 

 

How to guess the ring size

 

   If the customer doesn't know   the         size   of the ring, they often   just take the   jewellery at   random. Asking the   girlfriend   directly and spoiling the   surprise  is impossible, so what   can   be  done? There are several   options   for   solving this problem.   You can     discreetly  take a photo   of her hand     and show the   picture to the consultant   at the   jewellery shop. This will   increase  your chances of   success, but a mistake is not completely ruled out. You can go on   a gamble and try to take the measurement with a string while the girl is sound asleep. If she suddenly wakes up right in the middle of measuring, pretend to be a "random passer-by", yank her hand away and throw the string away saying, "You have something stuck to your sleeve. There's a third option. You can go to all lengths and stealthily take her ring from the jewellery box, measure it up and put the jewellery back where it belongs. However, if you get caught red-handed in the process, you can't fake i 

 

 

• Jewellers claim that the most common ring size for ladies is 16-16.5. When you buy a piece of jewellery at random, it's best to get a larger one with a margin. If the ring sticks out, it won't look as embarrassing when it's not on the finger at all. 

 

 

Style is the answer

You may be able to guess the size and choose the perfect item of jewellery that suits the woman perfectly, but she may simply not like it. For example, you might give a platinum ring with a large emerald, but the recipient doesn't like the green colour and generally prefers rings with a small array of stones. To avoid getting into a jam, you need to study thoroughly the girl's tastes or buy jewellery from basic collections. There is another option. You can blindfold the girl and take her straight to the shop, where she can choose exactly what she likes or order the perfect jewellery. The surprise effect is guaranteed

 

 

Does fashion has own rules ?

Most of the men make the serious mistake of choosing jewellery as a gift for a girlfriend - they do not consider fashion trends and buy jewellery that is considered to be old-fashioned. The person receiving the gift may be happy to receive it, but he or she is not going to wear it. If you do not know what is in fashion today, try to find out about current trends on the global web or ask your jeweller.
