Published on December 12, 2023

Are you about to give a ring? Pay attention, because it is very easy to make mistakes. Here are the mistakes you should not commit when choosing a ring ♦

The occasion may be Christmas, or engagement, an anniversary or simply the desire to give a ring. But, attention: despite good intentions, giving a ring is a difficult action. Full of pitfalls. Of traps. And unfortunately, sometimes men make great mistakes: what should have been a moment of happiness turns into a disappointment or, worse, a reason for controversy. In short, attention. Here are the 10 mistakes that you should never commit when you give a ring.

Error number 1: the style. The most feared mistake, both by women and by men, is the choice of a ring that is not in the style of the recipient. Of course, the thought is appreciated, but it is a pity to have spent some money on something that does not please. And this is a mistake that men tend to commit often, because they are not careful observers of what women choose. It is easier to get advice from a jeweler who does understand the style of your partner. The main advice, therefore, is to first carefully observe what kind of jewelry the woman wears to whom she wants to give the ring. In the case, you can take a picture of a jewel worn regularly to show to your jeweler.

Mistake number 2: poor jewelry. At the top of the ladder of things not to do is the cheap bijoux ring, perhaps bought from a street vendor. The ones that are so cheap that it seems fake. Because they are fake, in fact. Those rings are fine up to age 13. Besides, they are not to be given as gifts, not even as a joke. There is nothing worse for a woman to feel devalued with a ring that costs a few euros, even if the idea is that of a gift for fun. There are, however, also bijoux that do not cost a lot, but have a solid and well finished look.

Error number 3: used unsafe. Give a second-hand and ruined ring. Often, to save money, someone accepts the offer of rings that look good but, in reality, are simply cleaned and polished. Stones with scratches, which can only be noticed with a careful examination, small cracks, the metal that has small holes on the surface: these are all signs of a used jewel. And, of course, of little value, unless it is a special piece sold at auction. In that case it must be accompanied by the certified of the auction house that put it up for sale.

Error number 4: inconsistent packaging. The illusion is fatal. Give a small box the size of the container of a classic engagement ring and find inside a jewel that does not correspond to expectations can cause a very strong (negative) emotional reaction. A box covered with satin or velvet, a ribbon that closes it: do not show up with this package if you have not put a ring in it that does not disappoint those who receive it. If the jewel is less noble, its’ ok just a small bag of colored cloth, which is already clear that does not contain an important ring.

Error number 5: wrong size. She opens the little box anxiously, inside there is the ring she has always wanted … But it is too wide. Or too tight. It is a mistake that ruins the atmosphere created by the gift. Moreover, it is not always possible to tighten or enlarge a ring and, often, it also risks ruining the jewel. Better, therefore, carefully take the size of the ring finger before going to the jeweler. The easiest way is to use the circumference of one of the most frequently used rings. Of course, if you do not live in common is not simple …

Error number 6: do not a gift. If your girl or woman expect to receive a gift ring, the worst thing is to keep putting off the moment. Every birthday or romantic dinner can be complicated by different expectations. Do not delay your gift: it could irreparably ruin the relationship.

Error number 7: give a ring too expensive. Women (except exceptions) are not so selfish as not to understand that there is a limit to everything. If your name isn’t Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos, and the bank account gets thinner at the end of each month, avoid fainting by giving away too expensive a ring. The last thing your partner wants is to give up a holiday or a restaurant to make up for the ring shopping. The cost must be proportionate to the spending possibilities. That is, it should not reduce you to the pavement.

Error number 8: expect something in return. Especially that thing. When a man gives a ring he expects to stir up an emotion that translates into an open door to the bedroom. The ring can also arouse passion, but expecting the partner to turn into a mattress tiger is a wrong view. It does not work like this.

Error number 9: to gift away a ring too soon. There are those who quickly conquer a woman and (if they can afford it) immediately goes into jewelry. There are some woman who might feel flattered, but also those who might have the feeling of being bought. Better not to rush the times before giving a ring of value.

Error number 10: a ring with fake stone. It is very difficult to distinguish a true stone from a false one. But the moment may come (perhaps for a simple cleaning, or to widen the circle of the ring) that the jewel ends up in the hands of a jeweler, who notices the trick. Making a ring with a false stone is not a good strategy. Better a small diamond, but certified.

Un buon mix di gioielli è difficile da scegliere

The ten most common mistakes when wearing a jewel. Here’s how to avoid mistakes when wearing a ring, necklace, earrings or bracelet ♦ ︎

The world is full of people who give advice on what needs to be done. This also applies to jewelry. On the other hand, it is rarer that there are those who tell you what not to do. In short, somebody which offers suggestions to avoid the worst mistakes.

But the truth is that it is very easy to go wrong when choosing a jewel to wear. Especially if that day you want to change a little, do something different, surprise who you are about to meet. Here, then, are the mistakes you should not make when choosing a wearable jewel.

1 Don’t mix the styles too much
The mix of very different jewels is fashionable. It adds a young, informal, light-hearted air. Ok, but you have to know how to do it. And, moreover, not all the different jewels among them are fine when they are worn. Each jewel has its own outfit. Before combining an expensive branded gold ring and a bijoux with crystals instead of precious stones, think twice. Moreover, a mix of different jewels can squeak with your dress. A very precious necklace can clash on T-shirt and jeans. Just as a cheap necklace does not suit a signed evening dress.

2 Don’t wear too many jewels
The temptation to exaggerate is the worst enemy to defeat. Wear a jewel because it enhances you, makes you more visible, attracts glances. But if you wear too many of them together you will get the opposite effect. Many jewels can cancel each other out: better to choose a few, but beautiful. Do you want to point out your hands? So better to give up on bracelets that are too demanding, large or colorful if you have a big ring. Do you prefer to note the necklace strategically placed on the neckline? In this case avoid large earrings.

3 No rattling jewels
You probably don’t live in the desert. This is why wearing jewelry that clinks every time you move your foot or arm is not pleasant for those around you: they are forced to hear your noise. It’s irritating. In an office, then, it could also raise a revolt.

4 Coordinate the enamel and ring
Few people think about it, and instead it is fundamental: if you wear a ring with a colored stone, maybe a large one, make sure it is compatible with the color of your nail polish. The only stone that goes well with everything is the colorless diamond, or zircon.

5 A party or office?
Don’t wear a diamond necklace to go to the office, it’s fine for the evening. A pair of sober gold earrings are best suited for a business meeting. A small pin is enough if you are about to attend a funeral … There are jewels for every occasion, but not all occasions are suitable for all jewels.

6 Don’t forget the manicure
You have a beautiful ring, but your fingernails are ruined. It does not work this way. A ring catches the eye on the hands: don’t forget to make them nice and neat. Otherwise, a ring can cause a boomerang effect.

Anelli troppo grandi, mani troppo piccole

7 Don’t confuse proportions
The proportions are those of your body and jewels. Do you have small hands? Be careful not to choose rings that are too large (and heavy). Is your neck not as thin as a swan’s? Then too short necklaces will get a bad look for you. Imposing wrists become even larger with a stiff and thick cuff. But the opposite is also true: jewels that are too small can become invisible, worn by a tall and not thin woman. Pay attention to the relationship with fingers, hands, neck and ears before wearing a jewel.

8 Look at bracelets and sleeves
A bracelet enriches the hands and arms look. But it must be coordinated with the dress. For example, a bracelet may disappear from view when worn with a long and wide-sleeved shirt. In contrast, a shirt with tight cuffs can allow bracelets to be seen. About one bracelet at a time or many together? It depends on the size of the jewelry. Thin bracelets can be worn at the same time, as long as they are of the same style and don’t clink too much.

9 Dirty, scratched and …
Do you wash your hair and wear a clean dress when you go to a party? You must have the same care for your jewelry. It is often forgotten that, like leather and cloth for clothing, jewels also get dirty with use. Epidermal fat, dust or occasional dirt can ruin a jewel’s appearance and, in some cases, pose a threat to the quality of stones and metal. Clean your jewels to avoid fogging, remove silver oxidation and if there are any scratches bring the jewels from a goldsmith to make them shiny and polished again.

10 Be attention to the necklace
We have already talked about it, but it is one of the most common mistakes: it is worth repeating the concept. Necklaces are the most visible jewels, those that immediately attract attention. Precisely for this reason it is good to choose the right jewel. There are two aspects to take into account: your body height, and the type of neckline, if there is one. The rules for choosing the right necklace can be found here.

4 Never bath. The shower or, worse, the pool water, are enemies of your jewelry. Chemicals like detergents and disinfectants may irreparably damage the stones and corrode the metal.

5 Do exercises of memory. It seems incredible, but the number of jewels that are lost is absurdly high. The act of a ring slip off, take off the earrings, a necklace to loose, is often related to transactions that take place at home or at work. Make a habit of storing your jewelry always in the same place, best in a closed box.

6 Beware to the ultrasonic cleaner. A device for cleaning the jewelry that works ultrasonic can be a good idea for anyone who has to regularly keep in order their own bijoux.

8 Remove slow the ring. When you wear a ring on finger, remember to grab the edges of the circle to remove it, and not force the mount on the stone if it is present.

9 Garble necklaces. If you have long necklaces, store them carefully. Better yet, leave them hanging on a hook or in a stand: when a chain is tangled, it is easy fray it when trying to untie the knots. Tip: if this happens, lay the necklace on a plan, do not attempt to untie the knot while it is hanging.
