Gift Ideas for Women


Trying to find gift ideas for women can be a pretty traumatic experience for most men and the vast majority will have absolutely no idea at all where to begin.  In the past you can be sure that countless hours have been wasted looking in shop windows and walking around department stores feeling like a fish out of water trying to decide what on earth to buy.  Perfume and ladies jewellery often prove to be popular choices simply because women generally love both and they are also personal items which are usually very well received, if of course you get it right!

One thing that men are very good at is putting off present buying until the last possible moment and when they realize the day before a special occasion that they still haven’t bought anything, they set of in a mad panic and can be seen running around the high street like headless chickens desperately searching for those illusive gift ideas for women.  It’s a well known fact that most of the shoppers out and about late on Christmas Eve are men, but with the dramatic increase of shopping online, that could soon be a thing of the past.  Now you can shop for gift ideas for women Gemstone Jewellery without any of the added stresses that go with shopping on the high street and best still, no screaming kids, no parking problems and everything can be delivered right to your front door.

So having decided on a piece of ladies jewellery, where do you start?  First of all think what type of jewellery she wears and remember there’s nothing worse than being given something that’s really not your taste, so maybe even think about speaking with her mum, sister or best friend to get some sound advice.  So first things first, does she generally wear sterling silver jewellery or does she prefer gold, does she like gemstones and if so, which are her favourites, does she like chunky jewellery or does she prefer something more dainty and having accumulated all of this information, you will then be in a better position to start looking around.

Well it all sounds pretty straight forward so far, but shopping online for ladies jewellery can still be pretty daunting unless you use the right keywords.  Instead of using broad terms such as “gift ideas for women”, “ladies jewellery” or “jewellery online”, be more specific and search for “pendant necklace”, “chunky jewellery”, “Gemstone Rings” or whatever it is that you specifically want to buy and this will make things much easier.  It’s important to bear in mind that sizing may well be an issue so buying silver rings for example, could be tricky unless you know the right size, but having said that, rings with a simple narrow band would probably be okay as you can take an existing ring to be measured and just buy the same size, however if she likes chunky jewellery, it’s worth bearing in mind that chunky rings generally have a wider shank which means they’ll also fit more snugly hence she may well need a slightly larger size than she would ordinarily wear, plus the size of many women’s hands changes depending on their body temperature which makes things even more complicated so keep it simple and avoid chunky rings.

Bracelets can also sometimes be a problem unless you’re really familiar with the size of her wrist, what length will you need? What happens if it’s too tight or too loose?  Again if you’re buying a bracelet with a very simple design, the length can always be adjusted, but if you’re looking at a gemstone bracelet, these can be quite difficult to adjust as some of the gemstones may have to be removed.  So what is the easiest piece of ladies jewellery to buy?  Well we believe a pendant necklace featuring a beautiful gemstone may just be the answer and the fact that we’re the UK’s leading online retailer of gemstone jewellery focusing specifically on gemstone pendants has absolutely nothing to do with it at all, honestly!

Buying a pendant necklace means you haven’t got to worry about sizing as one size fits all, a chain although optional, is not a necessity as most ladies have plenty of chains and if after doing all of your research, you found out that the lady for whom this present is for, likes sterling silver jewellery, colourful semi precious stones and she also likes chunky jewellery, then your prayers have just been answered and whereas before, the thought of having to look for gift ideas for women made your hair stand on end, now whenever the need arises, you can choose from over one thousand unique pendants featuring the largest collection of semi precious stones online and best still, should you need help at any time, you can chat with us live in real time whenever we’re online and another thing, postage is also free!
