There are many occasions in a woman’s life where jewelry is the perfect gift to be given. Anniversaries, birthdays, and after giving birth (the growing-in-popularity trend of “push presents”) are all great times to get her something nice to add to her jewelry box. Which piece you choose will depend on her personality and tastes in jewelry, but here are some ideas to start you off.

Anniversary gifts 

Your wedding anniversary is the perfect time for a jewelry gift. There are both traditional and modern yearly anniversary gift themes. As per modern gift themes, the 10th anniversary is the time to get diamond jewelry. The 12th anniversary is pearls, while the 14th-anniversary gift is gold. What’s more, each year also has an associated gemstone or metal type. You can check out all the traditional and modern gift themes, as well as the gemstone by year, here.

As for what to get that will be meaningful, many go for the symbolism associated with an eternity band. An eternity band has diamonds circling the circumference of the ring, and symbolize an infinite life together. Similar in concept is the eternity bracelet, aka the tennis bracelet.

Push Presents 

These are given after birth to commemorate her hard work during pregnancy (and especially labor, hence the name!) Here are some ideas: 

Birthstone jewelry: Birthstones are a very popular way to represent your child(ren) in a simple yet elegant way. Go for a ring, necklace, bracelet or even earrings that include your baby’s birthstone. To make it even more special, choose a piece that includes your and your partner’s birthstones, too. 

January: Garnet

February: Amethyst

March: Aquamarine 

April: Diamond

May: Emerald

June: Pearl

July: Ruby

August: Peridot

September: Sapphire

October: Opal

November: Citrine

December: Tanzanite

Baby’s initial pendant or ring: A subtle yet classy push present to commemorate the birth of your baby is putting his or her first initial as a pendant or on a ring. You can go sleek and simple with a thin golden initial in cursive, or bold and beautiful with a diamond-lined initial.

Birthday presents

Birthdays are another occasion where you pretty much can’t go wrong with jewelry. Birthstone jewelry is again appropriate here, of course. 

An eternity ring can be made with larger diamonds, or smaller diamonds which can be worn stacked several at a time. A diamonds forever necklace is a timeless piece that can be worn daily or on special occasions.  

If you want to go big, opt for a pendant with pave diamonds surrounding a bigger central diamond or other gemstone. Bracelets studded with pave diamonds are beautiful. Diamond stud earrings are another popular choice, as every woman should own at least one pair!
