By LLM Reporters   |  

It is often said that the way to a woman’s heart is with diamonds, and a beautiful piece of jewellery is a gift that will tick all the right boxes when it comes to birthdays, Christmas and anniversaries.

Bestowing the gift of jewellery is one of the most classic yet most appreciated gestures that a man make for a woman. Choosing the right piece, however, can prove tricky – especially when the receiver has complex or specific tastes – and with a range of stones, metals and styles to choose from, heading to the jeweller to pick something out can often feel like an overwhelming task.

Thankfully, there is one sure fire way to ensure you get it right, and that is with engraving. Engraved jewellry is a great way to give any gift a more personal feel – and will do all the talking for a simple and understated piece of jewellery.

Here are our top tips on choosing the right piece of jewellery for the lady in your life, as well as how to ace the engraving for a gift that is guaranteed to impress.

Let’s start from the basics

First of all, it is essential to evaluate the person you are buying for to work out what type of jewellery would suit them best. Try to understand what types of jewellery she usually wears to ensure that you’re on the right track – after all, there’s nothing worse than splurging on an expensive piece of jewellery only for it to end up locked in a drawer for years, unworn.

If you’re buying for someone who doesn’t usually wear earrings, then earrings would be a risky choice. So, if she is someone who likes necklaces or bracelets, then opt for one of those instead.

And, if you’re choosing a gift for a woman you have only been seeing for a short time, then it is wise to avoid rings – these are seen as very personal gifts, and ones that are symbolic of commitment – so wait until the time is right before surprising her with one, and select another type of jewel instead.

Amongst the most versatile engraved jewelry choices to give to a woman – and a wonderful gift for any occasion – are bracelets, and whether discreet or incredibly worked, they are a gift appreciated at any age. Better yet, they are suitable no matter the person’s relationship to you, working perfectly for everyone from girlfriends to mothers, sisters to aunts and friends.

A bracelet is a gift that speaks of gratitude and is rich in meaning that varies depending on the type of bracelet chosen. There are numerous bracelet models on the market for you to choose from.

Simple gold or silver bangles, engraved with the person’ initials, make for a great choice that would suit almost anyone, and is one of those classic cases where less is, indeed, more.

For the woman who shies away from ostentatious jewellery, a long bracelet featuring a steel or leather cord can make for an understated option, without too many frills. On the contrary, a bracelet embellished with zircons or precious stones would be the perfect choice for an elegant person; the choices are truly endless.

If you’re looking for a romantic gift, then take a look at the rather stunning Magic Moon website, where you can find multiple choice featuring a range of message choices that will be just perfect for your love story. You can even design your own bracelet online, opting for a personal message made up of your own word, for a truly meaningful gift that will stand the test of time.

Finding the right gift can take time, but with a little patience and thought, that special gift is in reach. An engraved bracelet is a meaningful piece that she will keep with her forever, and the time and effort you put into finding it will, to her, prove priceless.
