Looking for a gift for your wife or long time girlfriend? For many people, particularly men, choosing a gift for a woman they love can be a complicated and long process – enough to sometimes take the joy out of choosing the gift itself.

If you’re here it means you’re thinking about a gift. If you’re thinking about jewelry you are in the right track, it is almost always a great choice.

Now it’s a matter of deciding what type of jewelry you want. Choosing the right necklace, the right earrings or the right bracelet can also be a bit confusing.

Not to worry! Here are some tips to help you surprise your loved one with a beautiful piece that will be right for her.

Let’s think about her hair color

Hair color can be a good way of choosing the right earring or necklace. To keep it simple, does she have light or dark hair color?

If you’re looking for something for a woman with dark hair a good choice would be to work with contrast, light colored materials are always a good choice.

Earrings with fresh water pearls, opals, shells and moonstones are easy to work with dark hair. No matter if her hair is up or down.

Blue moon stone & fresh water pearl earrings are a good choice for those with dark hair.

Pearl Earrings are also good with dark haired women.

If she is blond (or any light color) a good option would be to go with silver earrings paired with dark stones. Many men tend to go with gold earrings as a safe choice, but I would not recommend that for most blond women. Earrings with too much gold tend to disappear once her hair is down. You can also choose the color of the stones from her eyes, more on that at the bottom of the blog.

For example, the two earrings below will help contrast the jewelry with her blond hair. It will not only make the earrings look better, it will help her hair look better too.

Green Amethyst and Prehnite earrings for light hair will help contrast.

Black cut glass earrings, also a good option for blond hair. It’s simple and timeless.

Let’s think about face shapes.

When thinking about earrings, the face shape is important. Depends on where you look you will find 4-6 face shapes. It can be a little overwhelming so lets focus on two of the most common ones: round and long faces

Here is a simple guide to round faces:

Round and Long face shapes

For the most part, women with long faces should aim for bulky shapes and not long shapes. I find round earrings to be a great match with round faces – like the ones below. Round earrings help create a soft but elegant frame with a good balance.

If you’ve read this far you should know which one you should pick depending on her hair color, do you? 🙂

Round shapes are good for long faces.

Round earrings with pearls are an elegant choice.

Let’s think about the color of her eyes.

Eye colors are also key. Remember how we were looking for contrast with hair? With eyes is almost the opposite: matching the color of the jewelry to her eyes creates a classic look. There are many ways of creating a good look, but matching her eye color is a reliable and good approach.

If she has blue eyes, go with a necklace or earrings featuring stones like chalcedony, blue topaz, aquamarine, blue sapphires, etc. For green eyes you can search for peridot, green quartz, green amethyst. Ladies with dark eyes are in luck, just like the “little black dress” that supposedly matches everything, dark eyes are a good match for most colors.

In other words, matching eye color and jewelry make a women look beautiful.

If you want to a different approach, birthstones are also a good option.  I will write about birthstones in near future.

If she likes a edgy style or bigger jewelry, something like this one would be a great accent of her fashion.

Our wedding went very well. It was incredibly beautiful, full of love and such a big surprise wedding. Jose’s mother wanted to surprise us with this wedding and she and her family prepared everything, so we didn’t know what’s our wedding like until that moment. It was the best gift I’ve ever received in my entire life. I wished this moment never ends that night.
I came from a small family, so I was always admired by a big family like this.
Family is the best gift.

Thanks to Piaspia and Rafa for hosting with the gorgeous house and fantastic cooking. Thanks to Denis for fabulous singing “Señora Señora”. We were all very impressed by your amazing voice. Thanks for the impressive speech Manuel. Thanks to wonderful Pamela for photos. Thanks to my lovely bridesmaids, Mayuko, Tassie and handsome best men, Juan Calros, Alberto. Thanks to Shelley, Tassie, Rainbow and blushing boutique for my unforgettable wedding dress. I remember you sew my dressuntil few hours before my flight on my last day in Canada. Thanks to Carlos, Griselda, Andres and Debbie and sweet kids. Thanks to Hosoi family for coming with us to Miami from Japan. Everything was beyond my imagination. Special thanks to our fabulous mother Carmencita. 

Our wedding ceremony in Miami is in a week.
It’s going to be a small beautiful house wedding with our family members.
It’s going to be our first big family meeting.

I made flower clowns for my flower girl and myself, boutonnieres for my gloom and our best men, corsages for mothers and my bridesmaids, a ring pillow, and a welcome board. I also made jewelry pieces. Can’t wait.

I took my friends to a candle design studio in Daikanyama to make handmade candles.

We wanted to do something new to celebrate on my friend’s birthday.

We chose colours, aroma and put those materials in a glass as we like.  It was very relaxing and healing. The feeling we felt while making it was similar to a feeling of seeing little fire in a candle. It’s a beautiful experience and how nice to have a one of the kind candle.

Our instructor shared her story that she started candle making as her hobby, then she fell in love with it and changed her career. It’s always nice to take up new hobby because we never know where we get an chance to change your life.

Here is the website of the studio.
