I've been dating my girlfriend for about 6 months I already a couple gifts picked out.

I think I've gotten it narrowed down to earrings but I don't know what would be appropiate at this stage. Garnet is her birthstone, that might be my safest bet but not original enough because I think she has enough garnet jewerly. Her favorite color is green but I don't know if she likes emeralds that might be to risky. Diamonds might be to much and I only want to spend around 200 which would be about 1/8thct? Pearls, are those for old ladies? We are in our early 20's. Platinum.. too bland? Do people inscribe earrings?

Sorry if this has been posted up already, I am asking more specific questions then I saw in the other posts.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I'm thinking about getting my girlfriend pearls for valentine's day. preferably a set: necklace, earrings, bracelet. but i haven't made up my mind yet. i think she likes pearls, but i asked her about a month ago and she somehow knew i was considering getting her some for v-day so she just said she didn't want me to spend too much money on her. she's a farm girl, and she doesn't have much jewelry. what she has is what i bought for her, and she wears it all the time. she doesn't dress up much, just for Sunday church and stuff, but i'd like her to have several jewelry options when she does. also, i heard pearl is june's birthstone, and she was born in june. i'm also planning on getting her some chocolates, roses, and a stuffed animal because that is all she asked for.

My only concern about pearls is that i heard some girls talking somehow, i don't remember if it was real life or a tv show, and they said pearls are for old people. is this true or do young women like pearls too?

thanks in advance for your answers. i REALLY appreciate it.
We're both just under 20, money is not an issue, and i've already got her some diamonds so i was looking for something different

Most cultured pearl earrings are tiny, attractive, and definitely quite expensive. If you're planning to add cultured pearl earrings to your jewelry collection, here are several tips which can help you buy the ideal pair for you and preserve its beauty for a long time.

Where to Buy Cultured Pearl Earrings

Cultured pearl earrings are sold online and in land-based stores. There are pros and cons to buying cultured pearl earrings either online or in person.

Online Jewelry Shopping Sites Prices vary greatly when it comes to cultured pearl earrings sold on online jewelry shopping sites, but once again your biggest problem is making sure that it reaches you safely and free of damage.

Live Auctions Cultured pearl earrings sold in live auctions are usually incredibly rare, beautiful, and definitely expensive.

Land-Based Jewelry Stores Cultured pearl earrings sold in land-based jewelry stores generally have the greatest selection to offer but they tend to be more expensively priced as well.

Wholesale Jewelry Markets It might take you a long time before you can find one, but when you do, you can certainly take advantage of exceptionally low rates as long as you're willing to buy cultured pearl earrings wholesale.

How to Buy Cultured Pearl Earrings

The first question you have to ask yourself is whether you wish for freshwater or saltwater cultured pearl earrings. Then determine if it's important to you as well to know where the pearls have been harvested. Lastly, base your decision on its luster, texture, shape, and overall appearance. Once you've made a selection, consult with the jewelry seller and see if you can get a discount.

How to Care for Your Cultured Pearl Earrings

Cultured pearl earrings are usually small in size so it's terribly easy to lose them. As such, make sure that you place them back on their original or usual casing immediately after you take them off.

If you're going to apply make up, perfume, skincare or any hair cosmetic product, it's best that you do so before putting on your cultured pearl earrings. Cultured pearl earrings are especially vulnerable to damage from toxic chemicals, chemicals which are found in abundance in the items specified above.

Although cultured pearl earrings are better off than pearl necklaces and bracelets because the ears don't sweat as much as arms and the neck do, there's still every possibility that your cultured pearl earrings will suffer from discoloration due to extreme exposure to the natural acidity of your skin. For that matter, it's important that you don't wear your cultured pearl earrings in exceptionally hot or humid places.

Also, wipe your ears in the rest room after a few hours to prevent it from affecting your cultured pearl earrings.

On cleaning your cultured pearl earrings, never use any jewel cleaner or cleaning solution that contains strong chemicals because these can once again affect the appearance of your jewelry. Steam cleaning is neither an advisable cleaning method for pearl jewelry regardless of whether it's cultured or synthetic.

Only use jewelry cleaners exclusively manufactured for pearl jewelry cleaning and apply it with the use of any soft fabric. You can use it slightly damp with water if you wish. Be very gentle when brushing and polishing your cultured pearl earrings as a vigorous rubbing can not only cause it to lose its color and luster but may cause it to tear apart as well.

Once you're done cleaning your cultured pearl earrings, let them dry off completely before keeping them away. Do not use a hair blower to facilitate the drying process.

Always keep your cultured pearl earrings away from other jewelries because its texture is not as tough as other gems like diamonds, opals, or crystals. It's also better to place them inside jewelry pouches instead of jewelry boxes.

Cultured pearl earrings can last several lifetimes if you take special care for it. Clean your cultured pearl earrings regularly, and take care of them well so that you can give them as a gift to your children or even grandchildren and start a new family tradition.

Pearls are lustrous. They reflect soft, diffused light back to your skin which is very flattering. Wearing a pair of pearl earrings can make you look luminous. Especially if you have good skin, or are skillful with makeup.

Flat features look sharper with angular earrings. The sharp lines of the earrings make your features look sharper.

A too angular face looks softer with round earrings. Circles and ovals incorporated into the earring design gives the features a softer look.

By wearing earrings, a woman can look more beautiful, instantly

Gemstone jewelry makes for the perfect versatile jewelry because it has the potential to be worn with a lot of different outfits and other jewelry.

Pearl and silver jewelry is also highly recommended.

If you own a simple, straight threaded necklace made out of gemstone beads, you can easily team it up with different earrings. Sometimes, when the occasion calls for it, you can turn it in to a nice gemstone beads bracelet. This is a very common trick used by many women to make their jewelry do more than just one thing.

You will need a good jeweler to do this for you but once it is done, you will have two pieces of jewelry in one.

For pieces such as these, it is a good idea to go for nice and brightly colored gemstones so that they suit your outfit on any occasion. Uniformly colored gems will also suit any material that they are set in to. You can choose from various gems such as blue sapphires, jades, red garnets, zirconium, quartz, ruby and many more such gems and gemstone beads to set in to your jewelry.

Choosing to have your jewelry customized so that they are more versatile does make a lot of sense. But if you are wise in your choice, you can choose simple gemstone jewelry that is very versatile in nature. You can wear most gemstones with a wide variety of dresses and they will look equally gorgeous every time you wear them.
