Not only does it look great, but it also goes well with any outfit and she’ll remember you every time she sees it.

Charm Bracelet

Charm bracelets are great gifts for your daughter since they can be used to symbolize the turning points in life. What makes them so special is that they preserve not just one but many memories and have a sentimental touch to them. Choose a simple bracelet in a metal color she would love and add a charm or two to it, leaving the rest of it empty for her to add her own charms later on.

Lockets

Lockets have cycled in and out of fashion over the last hundred years or so. There’s something nostalgic and beautiful about them, which will always keep bringing them back into the limelight. Consider a stylish locket that doubles as a regular pendant but can hold a special memento tucked away within its safe enclosure. Blue Nile offer beautiful engravable options, to add personalization.

Points to Consider

Before you go ahead and buy a jewelry gift for your daughter, put some thought into choosing something you’re sure she would love. Here are a few points to consider:

  • Her favorite metals – Consider the type of metal she likes to wear. Some people love silver-hued metals whereas others prefer the warm color of gold. If she suffers from metal allergies, choose a piece that’s hypoallergenic and safe enough for her to wear.
  • Her style – The piece should match her style and be something that she can wear any time. Is she into larger statement pieces or more simple and minimalist jewelry? Does she usually go for classic, dressy jewelry or is she more into boho or hippie style pieces? Considering her taste will help you find a piece that will be practical and something she would actually wear.
  • Her favorite type of jewelry – Think about the types of jewelry she normally wears. If your daughter isn’t someone who normally wears rings, you might want to get her gorgeous pair of earrings or a bracelet instead. Alternatively, give her something she doesn’t already have. She just might love it!

Wrapping Up

Buying jewelry for your daughter can be overwhelming since you want to get her something she would definitely love and wear and you don’t want to disappoint. However, don’t forget that she loves you and will always value your gift. Don’t make the mistake of buying a piece of jewelry if you’re not entirely satisfied with it. Instead, take your time and check out several different options before you make your decision.
