Gifting a piece of jewellery is a significant step in any relationship, romantic or not. Jewellery is very personal. It is a piece that she would have in her life.
A perfect piece of jewellery for your loved one is a bracelet. It’s not flashy like a necklace. It is a subtle but beautiful way of expressing your admiration for someone.
Buying a genuine diamond or ruby bracelets comes with some factors. You might already know about the 4 C’s for buying jewellery—clarity, colour, cut and carat.
What we will tell you are the factors that you need to consider before gifting a bracelet. This will make your purchase easier and more informative.
Essential factors to consider before gifting a bracelet
Choose the correct style
There are different styles of bracelets in the market. Choosing the right one can be challenging. So, research the different designs available.
We suggest looking at an online store like AG & Sons. You will get to look at many options and choose the one that fits her perfectly.
Women appreciate more if you know their tastes and preferences. And honestly, it isn’t hard to find out. Look at the kind of dresses she wears. What type of jewellery does she like? Does she like traditional diamond jewellery? Or does she prefer something unique, like black diamond rings? If you are unsure, get help from friends and family members.
Get the right size
Rings and bracelets come in sizes. And it is an important factor. For a bracelet, we take the wrist measurement. The wrist measurement is taken below the wrist bone.
Using a measuring tape is ideal. But if that’s not convenient, get any old bangle or bracelet to get the correct measurement. A piece of paper with measurements marked also works most of the time.
However, if you cannot get the size right, we suggest asking her directly. You don’t want to get the wrong size of the jewellery.
Choosing the metal for the bracelet
It is easy to go for conventional gold and diamond bracelets, or platinum and black diamond bracelets. However, you don’t need to stick with conventional. There are a variety of possibilities. There is silver, white gold, platinum, and rose gold.
Moreover, you need to understand the purity levels of these precious metals. Jewellery metals usually come in 9K, 18K, 24K, etc. The purity is higher as the numbers go up.
Your budget will determine how much purity you can buy. But the type of gemstone you are using also becomes a factor. For instance, a sapphire bracelet looks better in silver or white gold.
Similarly, a ruby bracelet looks beautiful with gold.
Type and quality of the gemstones
Most of us think that only diamond bracelets look elegant. Regardless of the gemstone that you choose, you need to know what the 4C’s are.
If you are looking to gift something special, put your attention into the colour, clarity, cut and carats of the stones. Most bracelets don’t have huge statement stones. They are generally small cuts spread set in the paving or channel setting of the bracelet.
You might not be able to see the clarity and colour properly as the stones are small. But don’t worry, most well-reputed stores will have certificates and hallmarks for the gemstones.
