How to buy jewelry this Mother’s Day

The recent explosion of online retail, social media trends and booming creativity has made gift shopping a painful and confusing process filled with self-doubt and second-guessing. How do I buy? What do I buy? Will she like it? What if it turns out to be fake? What if it’s cheaper elsewhere? Although we cannot accompany you on every one of your shopping excursions, we can help you pick out the right piece this Mother’s Day.

What Are The Different Types of Jewelry Out there?

– Diamonds: La crème de la crème and upper crust of all jewelry. As they say, a diamond is forever and everyone, including your mother knows it. But you do have to make sure what you’re buying isn’t fake. So make sure you’re buying from a trusted or authenticated source. Every piece bought from TrueFacet comes verified and authenticated.
– Gold: Expensive and trendy, gold has been around since the dawn of day – white or yellow, 14k or 18k?
– Pearls: From Audrey Hepburn to Monarchy, pearls make an evergreen classic statement. Pearls are appropriate for women of all ages and can come in a range of prices.

What Sort of Piece Do I Buy Her?

– Watches: Time is money. Buy her a watch that she can wear everyday, all day, at work, at home or at night. Steel, white gold, yellow gold, leather strap, diamond encrusted…today each watch is a fashion statement on its own!
– Bracelets: Individual style statements that can be mixed and matched. Bracelets are available in a range of materials, sizes and styles.
– Pendants and necklaces: Chosen correctly, the right necklace or pendant can actually complete a look. Around the neck, dangling over the collar, there as many necklace styles as clothing options. Pick the one that you see her wearing the most.
– Earrings: Popular choices for Moms because you don’t have to worry about sizes. Studs, hoops, long dangly pieces – pick the style that most suits her!

Things to Remember

– Take her taste into consideration. Is there anything she needs or anything she’s been talking about recently? At the end of the day, all Mothers are women. Women are always dropping hints.
