Rings Gift Guide

WHY GIVE A RING?

Fashion rings are the ultimate expression of a wearer's personality. There are so many styles available, and a rainbow of gemstones to choose from, that you can easily find a ring that will perfectly express the wearer's style and individuality. Of course, bridal rings are the ultimate expression of everlasting love and commitment, and anniversary rings symbolize that the two of you would marry all over again.

BUYING TIPS FOR FASHION RINGS

• Know her ring size ahead of time.
• Consider what she already owns – What are her favorite gemstones? What type of metal does she prefer (white or yellow gold, sterling silver, platinum)? What kind of jewelry does she already wear? Take note of the style she likes. Is there anything she doesn't have that she could use? For example, a matching ring to go with a cherished set of earrings would make an ideal gift.

BODY TYPE CONSIDERATIONS

• If she has long, slender hands and fingers, wider rings will look especially good on her.
• Larger jewelry stones and styles always look better on bigger hands.
• For short fingers and small hands, thinner rings and more petite styling works best. In terms of gem shapes, marquise, pear and other cuts that elongate the hand would be a good choice.

SKIN AND HAIR TYPE CONSIDERATIONS

• Blue gemstone rings (such as sapphire) work particularly well with blonde hair.
• Green gemstone rings (such as emerald) work particularly well with red hair.
• "Warm" colors like yellow gold, pearls, ammolites and sparkling gems like diamonds, work especially well with darker skin and hair.
• White gold, sterling silver and platinum work well with lighter/fair skin tones, as do pink, red and purple gemstones.
