Simple Tips for Men Buying Pearl Jewelry for Women


Lately pearl jewelries seem to be making a come back resulting it to be a must-have jewelry in each woman's wardrobe. Why don’t you surprise her by giving her a piece of pearl jewelry on that special day of yours… anniversary, birthday, you name it.

However, I do understand how hard it is for some men to pick out that perfect piece of jewelry that will make your woman happy. Yeah, they do say that it’s the thought that counts. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t bother trying. So, here are some basic tips for men out there to buy pearl jewelry.

For the quality, there are five factors to remember: nacre, surface, luster, shape and size. A good quality pearl is always thick in nacre (nacre thickness higher than 0.4mm is highly recommended), smooth in surface, high in luster (mirror like luster is best), round in shape and big in size. Shape, size and color on the other hand are up to personal preference.

If you are looking for a strand, you also need to pay attention to its matching. Lay the strand into a straight line. Compare the size, color, surface, shape and luster of each pearl. A good match in these aspects results in a good strand. Also, you can compare a few strands with each other, to find out the best one.

When you are deciding on the style, there are so many aspects to consider, such as color, pearl size and shape, pearl strand or designed pearl necklace, etc.

You should pay attention to the clothes and jewelry she often wears, perhaps by sneakily looking into her jewelry collection could give you some ideas.

Take her to shop around. Take note regarding kind of shops that she prefers or better still the kind of jewelry design that catches her eyes.

So gentlemen, go out there and get her that pearl!
