She’s your other half — the one who’s been there through better or worse, sickness and health, milestones and sleepless nights. What better way to celebrate your love with jewelry? Helzberg Diamonds is here to help you commemorate birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and other special occasions in the life that you share.
Here’s a rundown on how to select exquisite jewelry gifts for your wife, whether she’s been your spouse for two months, two years or two decades.
timeless elegance: how to choose jewelry for your wife
At the heart of every gift for your spouse is the thoughtfulness behind it. In addition to the love that you share, she also often carries much of the load in the home and at work. That could mean running errands, driving carpool or getting kids to after-school activities, tending to laundry, dishes and other household tasks, getting in exercise, checking off those to-do lists at work or at school and much, much more, depending on the stage of life she’s in.
The essence of thoughtful gifting lies in finding jewelry for your wife that will carry her through special occasions — and all the monotony of the every day, too. Here are a few tips to spark some inspiration when adding to her jewelry collection, whether you’re surprising her with a spontaneous necklace surprise, or you’re commemorating the birth of a child with a birthstone ring.
- Understand her style. If she prefers no-frills outfits and minimal jewelry, you may choose a simple gold chain or a pair of solitaire studs. Is she all about everyday glam with bold makeup looks, trendy designer bags and boutique clothing? Take a “more is more” approach and look toward flashier pieces — a statement ring or sparkling hoop earrings. If timelessness is more her vibe, choose practical jewelry she’ll wear for decades — a classic watch, diamond earrings or a tennis bracelet.
- Consider your budget. Any jewelry gift that comes from the heart is a winner. For more than 100 years, Helzberg Diamonds has been on a mission to spread love to everyone. That’s why we offer unmatched quality and jewelry at attainable price points. A gift under $300, $600 or $1,000 is meaningful and exquisite.
- Determine your occasion. Any day is a special occasion when you’ve met the love of your life. Understanding the occasion may help guide you to specific jewelry styles. For instance, if you’re giving her a “push present” upon the impending birth of a child, you may want to incorporate your new baby’s birthstone into the jewelry. Does she want an upgrade in stone size for her wedding ring? That would make a great surprise anniversary gift for your wife. Or, if you want a “just because” gift, you might want to choose something modern and trendy, like a pair of hoop earrings or an astrology-inspired necklace.
celebrating anniversary milestones
Remember when you first became a couple? Maybe it was after a high school homecoming dance, on a college trip during spring break or after matching online and going out to dinner in your early 30s. The timeline of your relationship may not have been linear, but you have plenty of notable dates to celebrate throughout your relationship history with your spouse.
- Gift your wife a dating anniversary surprise. After all, that’s how your “forever” began in the first place. Mark the passage of time with an elegant watch, or select birthstone jewelry to coordinate with the month you started dating — a pair of opal earrings to commemorate your October dating anniversary, for example.
- Add unmatched sparkle to her stack by wrapping up an anniversary band as a 10-year anniversary gift that complements her engagement and wedding rings.
- Upgrade her original engagement ring stone with a higher-carat diamond or something that matches her personality.
sparkling love on Valentine’s Day
She’s already captivated your heart, but the February holiday is another great opportunity to express your affection — no heart-shaped box of mediocre chocolates required. Get her what she really wants on February 14: jewelry that will melt her heart instead.
- Select a heart-shaped pendant featuring 21 moissanite gems for unrivaled brilliance and sparkle.
- Engrave a yellow gold, heart-shaped locket with her initials. Bonus points if you add a small photo inside.
- Appeal to her fun-loving side with a Barbie-pink sapphire tennis necklace with heart-shaped stones.
- Reemphasize your eternal commitment with a sterling silver bracelet featuring a diamond and infinity heart.
- Remind her what a stud you are with I Am Loved heart-shaped earrings that weave together sterling silver, rose gold and diamond accents.
birthday vibes
She’s about to take another spin around the sun. Fortunately, no matter her age, jewelry gifts for your wife are always a winning birthday proposition.
- Wrap up a birthstone gift. An emerald and white sapphire ring adds a vintage touch to a May birthday. If she was born in December, she’ll love a blue topaz or tanzanite bracelet. A classic pearl necklace is befitting of any wife with a June birthday.
- What’s her sign? Whether she occasionally reads a horoscope or she’s really into astrology, consider a whimsical birthday gift for your wife that incorporates her zodiac sign. Select a diamond-accented sterling silver and yellow gold disc pendant containing the Aquarius, Aries, Capricorn or Pisces symbol that coincides with her birthday.
holiday magic
There’s no time like the frenetic pace of the holidays to show her how much you appreciate her. Whether you’re shopping for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Easter or just because, you can’t go wrong with classic staples.
- Like the twinkling lights of a holiday tree, multifaceted diamond studs, a diamond pendant or a tennis bracelet are always in style. These heirloom pieces can be handed down through the generations.
- Engrave a piece of jewelry she already has with a special date or message.
- Customize a necklace or bracelet with a beloved pet’s name, children’s names or the date of your anniversary.
- Give her a ring featuring the birthstone of each of her children or grandchildren.
- Select custom charms to add to a bracelet each year. Over time, she’ll have a collection of meaningful reminders.
The best gift for your wife is the reminder that she is loved. Let Helzberg Diamonds help you celebrate all the stages, occasions and milestones in your marriage with jewelry gifts for your wife year-round or just because.
