With more than a century in business, Helzberg Diamonds knows a thing or two about relationships and jewelry, whether you’re looking for a promise ring for a longtime partner or you want a sparkly necklace as a Christmas gift.

The Best Gifts For Girlfriend: Jewelry She’ll Love
Shopping might not be your favorite thing, but when you’re looking for girlfriend jewelry, you’ll want to go into it with an idea of what she usually likes. Although chances are, anything you give to her will most likely be a frequent piece in her jewelry rotation. Here are a few tips:
- Is she trendy and into those of-the-moment pieces? Find modern, affordable jewelry she can wear throughout a few seasons. Consider fun, sparkly jewelry gifts with colored gemstones.
- Does she tend to stick to the classics? Simple stud earrings, a thin gold chain or pendant necklace, and a classic watch are all timeless choices that will complement her style.
- She’s unfussy and prefers simplicity above all else. You may see her wearing plenty of neutrals in her wardrobe, and when she does wear jewelry, it’s a single, thin stacking band or gold huggie hoops — uncomplicated looks that capture that “clean girl” aesthetic.
- Does she love getting dressed up for day dates and weekends away? When you think of her, does glam come to mind? Match her sense of luxury and opulence with showstopping pieces, whether it’s a pair of sparkling drop earrings, a stack of diamond bracelets, or a statement necklace. ce.
What To Get My Girlfriend For Christmas?
You want to choose the best gifts to give your girlfriend for Christmas. Any winter holiday calls for warm and cozy ways to celebrate your nearest and dearest.
- The weather outside may be frightful, but Christmas jewelry for your girlfriend is super delightful, particularly when it’s wrapped in a festive box and tucked under a tree or in a stocking. Give your minimalist partner a diamond initial pendant that she can wear alone or layered with other necklaces.
- Get your significant other classic staples she’ll keep in her collection forever. Pearl drop earrings or a pearl necklace is sophisticated, understated and elegant — just like she is.
- She’s been your ride-or-die for what seems like forever. And while you’re on the journey toward marriage, you’re not quite there yet. In the meantime, give her a pair of exquisite lab grown diamond stud earrings that will eventually complement an engagement ring.
- Tis the season to tell her how much she means to you. A promise ring for your girlfriend speaks volumes and emphasizes your commitment to one another.
Best Valentine Gift for Girlfriend: Romantic Jewelry Ideas
You know that awkward moment when you realize Valentine’s Day is just around the corner — but you’ve only been together for three weeks. What do you do in that situation? Hint: You find the best girlfriend gift for Valentine’s Day that’s affordable and doesn’t look like you’re trying too hard or moving too fast. (So, probably not a promise ring.) If, however, you are long past the friend zone, then go ahead and show all the love with jewelry.
- There’s nothing like that feeling of falling in love, whether it’s the first time or the third. Helzberg’s I Am Loved necklace for a girlfriend is well-priced and features an elegant heart accented with a small row of diamonds and our signature smaller rose gold heart.
- Whether she’s a Titanic aficionado (the movie or the legendary ship’s history) or she has a September birthday, surprise her on Valentine’s Day with a luxurious Heart of the Ocean pendant surrounded by sparkling white sapphires. Then plan a movie-watching party, and you’ll be the king of the world (or her heart)!
- Why not use the excuse of St. Valentine to unlock her delight with a heart key-shaped pendant studded with delicate diamonds? Choose a 10K rose gold setting to add a bit of romantic blush to the jewelry.
- Not ready to go the heart route? Try demi-fine jewelry, like some of the modern pieces from our Laure by Aurate collection. The Toi et Moi (or “you and me”) two-stone ring lets your love shine by way of a lab created emerald and white sapphire with a vermeil setting.
What to Get My Girlfriend For Her Birthday?
When you’re looking for the best birthday gifts for a girlfriend, you’ll want to determine a few things. Does she have a milestone birthday coming up? Have you been dating for years, or is your relationship fresh and new? Here are a few ideas in either scenario:
- Still in the infatuation stage of your relationship but need an impactful girlfriend birthday gift? Play it safe with an affordable piece of jewelry under $100, like initial stud earrings or lab created opals.
- Chunky sterling silver tapered hoop earrings will give your girlfriend the Grandmillenial/Nancy Meyers aesthetic she’s going for. Even better, curl up on the couch and have a private showing of “Something’s Gotta Give” to score big points.
- Time for a date! Help her stay on schedule with an affordable watch that combines practicality with profound meaning.
- Sparkling is always in season. If you’ve been together so long you’ve forgotten how many years it’s been (we’re sure she’ll remind you), choose a diamond necklace for your girlfriend that will add a touch of elegance to her style and a sparkle.
- Boxed sets of birthstone jewelry take the guesswork out of selecting complementary pieces.
Best Gift For A 1-Year Anniversary
You’re celebrating one whole year together. Commemorate this major milestone with jewelry gifts that hit all the right notes.
- A diamond bezel paperclip bracelet gives her wrist an elegant adornment.
- Ready to dive in but not quite in that pop-the-question time frame? That’s totally OK! A promise ring for a girlfriend says, “I’m committed to this relationship.”
- A Scout & Lark Cuban link chain necklace will help her style pop off as much as her bubbly personality.
Year-Round Romance With Gifts For A Girlfriend
Sometimes the best girlfriend gifts are those “just because” presents offered when they least expect it, whether she’s had a bad day, she’s passed an important exam or you just want to shower her with a little extra love.
- If it’s the first piece of jewelry for your girlfriend, start simply with a charm. Choose a charm pendant for a necklace with her (or your) initials, or select a charm she can add to a bracelet she already owns.
- Get a stack of bracelets for your girlfriend. Bangle bracelets, for instance, promise all the wow factor for the holidays and beyond.
Even if her love language isn’t gift-giving, it’s always a good idea to make meaningful gestures and show her that you value your relationship. Helzberg can help you choose jewelry for a girlfriend’s birthday, an anniversary, a holiday, or just because.
