Jewelry Gifts For Christmas? Perfect. And Perfectly Dangerous.

When your heart overflows with love and affection

, give a jewelry gift at Christmas. When the Christmas bonus practically burst out of the envelope, give a jewelry gift. When you want the ideal stuffer at the stockings toe, give a jewelry gift. When all else fails, give a jewelry gift at Christmas.

A thoughtful gift of jewelry always makes a strong statement. At Christmas, well-chosen jewelry can dazzle, delight, and overwhelm. However, a jewelry gift also can number among Santas most dangerous delights, because well-intentioned but uniformed elves can deliver exactly the wrong message if they fail to choose with exquisite care, caution, and taste.

Know what you are giving and what it means.

In the 1920s, South African diamond merchants coined the now ubiquitous phrase Diamonds are Forever. The phrase caught-on and stuck; the phrase now dictates the meaning of a diamond gift. Are you ready to commit to some kind of forever? With your wife, your children, and your mother, diamonds make a perfect gift, because you intend a lifelong relationship, and you hope this Christmas gift may become a family heirloom. For those special giftables, choose an affectionate and reasonably expensive diamond. With a girl you have known only six weeks, exercise considerably more restraint. Try a solitaire pendant, for example.

Buying jewelry for your daughters, start with the basics. Showing your love and affection and choosing wisely for everyday wear, go with the Tiffany sterling silver heart. Every girl ought to get the Tiffany bracelet from her daddy, because it says volumes about your bond, and your daughter can wear the bracelet every day with everything. If she already has the bracelet, you may want to consider the matching necklace. If your daughter has both the Tiffany collectibles, move on to birthstone jewelry, remaining careful and cautious about styles and prices. Be aware, for example, that well-chosen sapphires and rubies will cost more than diamonds. You seldom will fail with earrings and bracelets, because a girl never can have too many of them.

While buying jewelry for colleagues and loyal co-workers, play safe and wise. Select a brand-name watch, making sure the salesperson installs a brand new battery and correctly, precisely sets the time. Always go with the professional gift-wrapping; and never settle for the cute little gift bag which screams lame!

Respect the receivers tastes and values.

If you give earrings for pierced ears and your intended recipient has no piercings, you have logged an epic failure. You see the danger. Exercise similar caution about your choice of precious metals: Many Latinas, Native Americans, and African women refuse to wear gold, because it signifies colonialists greed. High-grade sterling silver or good platinum safely substitutes. When in doubt, go with platinumthe safest and sturdiest among the earths rare elements.

If you feel at all unsure about your Christmas gift of jewelry, do not settle for just a gift card. If you feel inclined to give a gift card, you might as well give the penny jar and a Hallmark card. Instead, bravely confess your desire and your uncertainty, setting the stage for the two of you selecting just the right stones in just the right setting.
