Before you choose

How do I choose jewelry as a gift?

Begin with what she already wears: metal color, jewelry type, scale, and how often she wears it. Earrings and simple necklaces are often easier to choose than rings when size is unknown.

What jewelry is easiest to buy when I do not know her style?

Look for approachable everyday pieces such as small earrings or simple pendant necklaces, then compare them with jewelry she already owns.

What should I consider for sensitive ears?

Review the base metal, plating, post material, and any available nickel information. Individual reactions vary, so no material can guarantee the same result for every wearer.

What is the difference between gold-plated, gold-filled, and solid gold?

The terms describe different constructions and amounts of gold. Use the materials comparison guides and each product page to confirm what you are buying.

How do I find the right necklace length or ring size?

Use the necklace-length and ring-size guides before ordering. When gifting a ring, confirm sizing whenever possible instead of relying on a visual guess.
