Why jewelry is the best gift? Recently, I have read an interesting book “Famous Jewelry Collectors”. It narrates about famous women who loved jewelry. And they owned gorgeous jewelry pieces themselves. We may mention one of those legendary women – Paulette Goddard. She used to be a wife of Charly Chaplin once. Then, she got married Erich Maria Remarque, an outstanding writer.
Paulette Godard used to say: “I don’t accept flowers. They are perishable”. She accepted jewelry instead!
The majority of women agree that they prefer to get a jewelry gift. I will try to explain why.
Do you have a pearl necklace belonging to your grandma?
First, jewelry, including my favorite, designer pearl jewelry, lasts for generation. Of course, I mean high quality jewelry made of excellent materials. At the beginning, you will wear it yourself. Then, you will give it to your daughter or your grand-daughter. Or it will stay in your family as heirloom. Jewelry is timeless.
Of course, anything may be given as a gift. However, jewelry has a sentimental value. Because we often associate jewelry with important events in our lives. The latter include anniversaries, weddings, births, graduations… That is why a jewelry gift becomes important. Later on, when you put it one, you will recall this big event. You will think about people whom you met, your emotions….
Often, my clients tell me that they have a pearl necklace belonging to their grandmother (!). That they enjoy wearing it. Often, we need to fix this pearl jewelry. We may change a clasp to make it look contemporary. Or, sometimes, the customer wants it to be re-designed. And, after, she will continue wearing this pearl necklace. Because, for many, a pearl necklace belonging to someone in the family, renders sweet and precious memories. And the woman is proud of wearing this piece of jewelry. As it reminds her about the family and her roots. Definitely, jewelry has a sentimental value.
Actually, jewelry has been one of the most common gifts for centuries. Of course, women and men enjoy adorning themselves. To do this, they put on various jewelry. We know that nice jewelry is not cheap. Thus, generally, people think that jewelry means luxury. On the other hand, would you refuse to be given something luxurious!? I do not think so.
Jewelry gifts and value?
Moreover, we like possessing unique custom pieces. By the way, you may ask a jeweller to create a custom piece of jewelry. It will suit the personality of your loved one. It will deliver a message, and, at the same time, it will be one-of-a-kind.
Here I am speaking about the next advantage of a jewelry gift. You may find a jewelry piece that is unique, one-of-a-kind. Particularly, if a jewelry designer creates this piece of jewelry. People enjoy owning something that no one else has! Because it adds value to your gift.
Don’t forget that, being made of precious gemstones and metals, jewelry has a certain value. And we are willing to have something that has value and authenticity. Particularly, we see this trend today, in our “new reality”. We observe a certain “shift” of an attitude. At present, more and more, people prefer quality over quantity.
In addition, you will certainly wear a piece of jewelry given as a gift. Then, it will become a great fashion accessory. It will finish your look and create a certain image.
And, no doubt, we may wear jewelry at any age. So, do not hesitate to offer a jewelry gift to your mother or to someone who is celebrating her sixtieth, seventieth or even eightieth anniversary! But, choosing a jewelry gift for this lady, first do some homework. You should consider her personality, her lifestyle and her likes and dislikes. Eventually, you will see that she will be happy to receive your jewelry gift. And she will definitely enjoy wearing it!
Have I convinced you that jewelry is the best gift!? In my next posts, I will speak about tips how to choose a nice jewelry gift.
