How To Land The Jewels You Want For The Holidays - Forbes Posted: 29 Nov 2018 12:00 AM PST ![]() It's that time of year when all my women friends tell me secretly what jewelry they want their husbands, boyfriends or significant others to purchase for them. I am supposed to discreetly pass this information along and somehow nonchalantly, offer them my 'expert' advice. This usually works with my friends and relatives (read: brothers and nephews) but I also have developed some handy tips for you to score the gifts you most want this holiday season. -Take Him Shopping You only have a few weeks left, so it is time to take your men on an outing to your favorite jewelry store where the sales associates might have 'their' brand of beer on hand and the latest sports scores. Said sales associates should be clued in on the pieces you crave- and will have them secretly ready for you to try on. This all has to be a fast maneuver. Men know why they are being dragged into a store with gemstones galore. They might be relieved by the insight this little journey has provided and the knowledge that purchasing you something you love and will wear is only a phone call and credit card number away. -Enlist a friend Ever since I began writing about jewelry almost 20 years ago, my friends and faithful readers have asked for my help with not only holiday but year-round gifts. I suggest you do something similar and enlist a friend that knows your taste and style when it comes to jewelry for this holiday season. Guys are attracted to bling, become intimated the minute they walk into a jewelry store and often select pieces that shine brighter than a Christmas tree when you might want just a little sparkle or color around your face. They will appreciate a mutual friend that they trust coming to their rescue and giving them tips about what you prefer. Some suggestions might be a pair of linear or swinging chandelier earrings. Your men will never think to get these by themselves. They will opt for safe when you want a dose of timely yet timeless style. Which brings me to the next step.

They will consider them weapons when they go to try and kiss your neck. Forget about brooches and pearls –they will remind them of their grannies, not the hip modern and independent woman that they see in you. It's better to buy those items yourself and perhaps have photos on your iPhone of different looks in jewelry that they will feel more comfortable buying. That doesn't mean they have to be boring. You can find new cuts in diamond stud earrings and other staples s with a new vibe—like the pull style bracelets that act as contemporary updates on tennis bracelets.

If you are hankering for a new piece of jewelry set with your favorite gemstone, you will need to train their eye. Guys tend to relate to denim, therefore it will be easier to get them to relate to different hues of blues than say orange sapphire. They also understand reds, so if you are a ruby or rhodalite garnet girl you might also be in luck, But if you desire a color that's a bit off of their radar, it's helpful to train their eye by wearing those colors in a scarf or more blatantly, a sexy camisole. It's all for the cause of landing the jewel you are crushing on.

The less subtle the better. Jewelry with messages and sayings or mottos and symbols that speak to their emotions are pieces men will definitely understand. And they might be eternally grateful for your less than subtle nudge in this direction.

Yes, that means no stackables or eternity bands. Generally, rings are just not in men's jewelry vocabulary unless they are planning to pop the question or already married. Friends or friendly jewelers who suggest rings to guys who are not ready to seal the deal will cause them to break out into a cold sweat and might send them fleeing to Best Buy for new-fangled technological gadget instead.

Find one that is large enough for them to feel like they are purchasing you a pendant for your finger. And, they might even feel all proud and courageous that they have taken this leap of faith. Signets are also a great idea if you are married. They can be engraved with any message you want.
