DON'T FORGET YOUR ANNIVERSARY OR HIS/HER BIRTHDAY........EVER!!!
Gifts (for women) do NOT come with power cords...especially for any romantic occassion!
Before you shop for jewelry, notice some things about her. What color are her eyes? (I'm amazed at how many guys don't know this!) Are her hands long, short, thick, slender? Does she have pierced ears?
Look in her closet. What styles does she wear now and what colors does she like to wear the most? (You don't need to know what to do with this information, but it helps us know how to help you.)
Look in her jewelry box and on her hands and neck. What does she already have AND* wear. Notice the color of the metal too.
*She may have things in the jewelry box she never wears, which may mean either she doesn't like it or it needs repaired and/or sized, so ask questions. DON'T ASSUME ANYTHING!
Remember that jewelry doesn't need a special occassion. She will love it even more if you give it out of the blue.

Here's a real concept for you! Ask her what she likes!
She'll tell you. ( and ladies, DON'T BE SUBTLE. We guys don't usually get subtleties. "Buy this for me or die" works for us, especially followed by a kiss or something! Saying, "I like this," doesn't register for us men. I like Ferraris but I will probably never buy one!)
HINT #9
Sometimes the presentation is just as important as the gift. For romantic ideas, do an internent search under "romance" or see us for a bunch of ideas. This can be for engagement ideas or birthdays or anniversaries.

The final way to relax with this is to remember that we want you both to be happy too. If you really doesn't like it, GET OVER IT and come back in. We'll make you both happy. After all, it's in our best interest to keep you happy too!
HINT #11
Receiving a piece of jewelry from a man (at least the right man!) is a very special event for a woman. Do not take away from that by trying to negotiate a better price in front of her. In a sense, that cheapens the experience for her.
Apparently, we all need help in finding gifts for the opposite sex.
THIS PAGE IS FOR US!
Use these hints and modify them to fit your significant other.
The point of this is to have fun with it.

FOR MEN
FOR WOMEN
One of the things that is vital for men is to be respected. Think about that when you are telling him what you want from him.
The item on the left is not true for men...unless you're wanting to be romantic! Then it still holds true.
Pay attention to the jewelry his friends wear. He may say he doesn't like something when you're shopping together, but men really do pay attention to what their friends have. This means that if his friends wear some jewelry, he is more apt to as well.
If you're shopping for him, don't assume that just because he has said he won't wear a ring (or any other jewelry), he won't. If you give it to him, he'll wear it!
Men don't pick up on hints. So, DON'T HINT! Tell him what you like.
If he asks you what your opinion is, tell him. Just like you with him, he is free to disagree, but he is serious in asking.
Men are typically uncomfortable in a jewelry store or dress shop. Don't press that and for heaven's sake don't make fun of that...not if you ever want us to invest in jewelry or clothing for you again. He's already uncomfortable so help him with it.
We said it to the men and we'll tell you. Jewelry doesn't need a special occassion. He'll love it even more if you give it to him out of the blue.
Men need appreciation too. Remember that it's not the size of the gem or the price of the item that counts, it's the fact that he actually took the time to buy you something that he thought you would really like. Show that to him.
