Struggling to find the perfect gift for a special woman in your life? Whether she’s your partner, mother, daughter, or friend, picking out jewellery that suits her personal style can feel overwhelming—especially if she’s 'hard to buy for' (or if you're style-challenged!).
The good news? Choosing a meaningful and stylish piece of jewellery as a gift doesn’t have to be stressful, especially if you're willing to put in a bit of extra effort.
So I'm here to help you out with some simple steps so you can find the perfect piece that she’ll love and cherish.
By paying some attention and doing some thinking, you'll have a much clearer idea of what to buy for her, whether she's your wife, girlfriend, daughter, sister, or friend.
Once you've got some ideas, be sure to check out our handy Jewellery Gift Guide to help you find just the thing.
Let's dive in and work out how to choose jewellery as a gift for a woman in your life ...
1. Observe her style
The best way to choose a jewellery gift she’ll actually wear is to pay attention to what she already loves. Take note of her everyday outfits and accessories — or if you can (without being creepy!), take a sneak peek at her jewellery collection.
Ask yourself:
- Does she prefer minimalist and subtle jewellery or bold, statement jewellery pieces?
- Is she drawn to silver jewellery or gold jewellery? Or does she mix both?
- Does she love gemstones or stick to metal-only designs?
- Are there colours that she seems to wear often?
- What jewellery does she wear the most: necklaces, earrings, or rings?
- Are there recurring themes or symbols in her jewellery (eg. flowers, hearts, geometric shapes)?
2. Consider her personality
Beyond her wardrobe, think about her lifestyle and personality. A well-chosen jewellery piece can reflect who she is and what she values.
- Does she prefer sentimental gifts? Consider birthstone jewellery or meaningful jewellery.
- Does she like to stand out or is she more reserved?
- Would she appreciate a luxurious piece she wouldn’t buy for herself, like solid gold jewellery?
- Does she love nature and the outdoors? She might adore our Australian Flora Jewellery Range or Bouquet Range: Flower Jewellery.
- Is she someone who dresses up often? If so, a statement necklace or bold cocktail ring could be a great choice.
3. Think about her daily routine
Jewellery is something she might wear often, so it should fit her lifestyle:
- Does she work in a professional setting where elegant, understated jewellery is ideal?
- Does she have small children, making stud earrings or short necklaces more practical than dangly pieces?
- Is she active or frequently on the go? A durable, everyday piece might be best.
- Does she go out often and love glamorous accessories? Choose something eye-catching and dramatic to suit.
4. Ask a friend or family member
If you're feeling stuck, ask someone close to her for advice. A best friend, sister, or daughter might have insights into her taste, current jewellery wishlist, or even her ring size if you’re considering a ring.
By the way, if you are considering a ring as a gift, take a look at our handy guide to How to Measure Your Ring Size.
5. Make it personal
Want to go the extra mile? Choose a piece of jewellery that will hold special meaning for her. Some ideas include:
- A birthstone necklace for a personal touch.
- A piece that reflects an interest or memory (eg. a nature-inspired piece for a gardner or outdoorsy person).
- Jewellery that is created with symbolic meanings or sentiments in mind that will be meaningful to her.
- Consider getting the piece you purchase engraved by a local master engraver or manufacturing jeweller.
6. Add the finishing touches
Of course gifting isn't just about choosing the perfect present. A beautifully presented and wrapped gift shows you put extra thought into it - and, trust me, it will be appreciated.
Here are some gifting tips:
- Simply pair the jewellery with a handwritten note or card.
- Choose gift wrapping that matches her taste — simple and elegant or fun and festive.
- If you’re shopping with us, you can add gift wrapping and a greeting card - you can even add a personal message.
