The most important element in choosing a birthday gift is thoughtfulness. You want to find jewelry that is meaningful and suits your loved one's style. There's plenty to choose from, so we'll help you get started and share ideas to inspire you. An impressive birthday gift for that special someone is certainly within reach.

How to Get Gift Ideas

Jewelry shopping can feel like an intimidating experience for anyone, and you may not know where to begin. If you prepare ahead of time and have an idea of what you're looking for, you'll discover that jewelry shopping is much easier than you thought.

You'll want to start by thinking about your loved one's style. Once you know the type of jewelry they prefer, you can use that information to give you ideas and guide your decisions.

One of the easiest and quickest ways to determine a loved one's jewelry style is to observe the type of jewelry they already wear. Take notice of the jewelry your significant other wears every day, look at pictures of them or peek through their jewelry box. Keep your eyes open for the following details and take note of what you find:

• Type of metal: What type of metal does your loved one prefer? Do they mostly own gold, silver or rose gold jewelry? If you're not sure, consider their skin tone to help you pick a metal. Silver or white gold looks brilliant against fair skin, and yellow gold is a gorgeous choice for darker skin tones. Rose gold is flexible and works with any skin tone.
• Colored gemstones or diamonds: Does your loved one own a lot of diamond jewelry, or do they prefer colored gemstones? Maybe you'll notice they wear their favorite color often, which can help you choose their birthday gift.
• Bold or subtle: Every personality has a unique style preference. Maybe your girlfriend loves to pair bright, bold statement necklaces with her work outfits, or maybe she often wears a simple bangle bracelet for an elegant, timeless look. You'll find a large range of possibilities for all tastes.
• Type of jewelry: Some individuals only wear certain types of jewelry. For example, maybe your significant other only wears earrings and never wears bracelets. Take notice of the type of jewelry you see them wearing every day. Do they wear necklaces, bracelets, earrings or rings? If they wear a mix, you'll have plenty of options for a gift.

Birthday Jewelry for Her

If you're looking for birthday jewelry for your girlfriend, you are on the right path. Jewelry is a romantic gift that is sure to become a prized possession for your girlfriend. It also sends the message that you take the relationship seriously. Jewelry will turn your girlfriend's birthday into an occasion she won't forget. Here are winning birthday jewelry ideas for the lady you love in your life.

1. Personalized Necklace

A personalized piece of jewelry makes a memorable birthday gift. You might choose a versatile and timeless initial pendant in her favorite metal and add your initial to increase the romance. Or, you can give her a custom engraved pendant she can wear every day with any outfit.

If you opt for engraved jewelry, include a loving, personal message. Maybe there's a song lyric that has always reminded you of your girlfriend for example, or maybe she has a favorite quote that's meaningful to her. Search for something significant to her, and get it engraved on a pendant, bracelet or ring – whichever type of jewelry she prefers. If you're struggling to find the right words to express your love, consider transferring a special image to a pendant instead.

2. Elegant Pendant

If your girlfriend likes to wear simple, delicate jewelry, consider getting her an elegant pendant necklace for her birthday. You might choose a basic design like a dainty heart pendant necklace or a gentle pearl and diamond necklace. You can also consider a symbol pendant to convey a particular message such as:

• Horseshoe: Give your girlfriend years of good luck with a horseshoe pendant.
• Key: Choose a key pendant to represent the key to your heart.
• Butterfly: A butterfly pendant symbolizes beauty, elegance and joy.
• Infinity symbol: The infinity symbol shows your love is here to stay.
• Anchor: Give your girlfriend an anchor pendant to show your love is strong or to symbolize hope.

3. Charm Bracelet

One way to celebrate your girlfriend's unique personality, talents and interests on her birthday is to give her a charm bracelet. Show her you appreciate everything about her with thoughtfully selected charms.

For example, you might get her an elegant PANDORA bangle to hold the charms. If your girlfriend loves animals, surprise her with an adorable PANDORA Mouse and Balloon dangle charm, or if she enjoys curling up with a book, get her the PANDORA Love Reading charm. You can add a new charm each birthday to celebrate her growth as a person and the woman you love.

4. Birthstone Jewelry

Birthstone jewelry is a popular choice for a birthday gift and can look beautiful with any style. You can choose birthstone stud earrings or a radiant birthstone pendant necklace. If your girlfriend likes to wear rings, make her heart expand with joy with a birthstone ring especially for her.

The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) lists gemstones and corresponding months to help you choose the right birthstone:

• January:Garnet is a dark red gemstone that's said to evoke a sense of calm.

5. Relationship Memento

If you're still not sure what type of jewelry to get your girlfriend for her birthday, you can't go wrong with a piece of sentimental jewelry that represents your love for her and the relationship you share. Her birthday is the perfect time to express your commitment if you're ready to take the relationship to the next level. You might present her a promise ring, and promise to love her for many more birthdays. Or, you could give her a locket containing a meaningful photo of the two of you together.

Another idea is to get a pendant, ring or bracelet engraved with a significant message or date, like the date you first kissed or went on a trip together.

Birthday Jewelry for Him

Women who are looking for a birthday gift for their boyfriend shouldn't shy away from jewelry. Meaningful, attractive jewelry can be a stylish addition to your boyfriend's look. It can also be a powerful symbol of your love.

Choosing jewelry for a man might feel trickier than going to the store and picking up a piece of cute jewelry for yourself. However, with a few basics in mind, you can find a birthday jewelry gift to melt your boyfriend's heart that he'll also feel comfortable wearing.

Just remember KISS – Keep it Simple and Subtle. Look for functional, traditional pieces and avoid flashy, ornate jewelry. Men often favor earthy, casual jewelry made of natural materials like wood and fibers, or metals such as gold and silver. You can make jewelry personal with an engraving. It's most important to ask yourself what you can see your boyfriend wearing. You know best what he likes and will want to wear.

Keeping the above tips in mind, here are some birthday jewelry ideas for the special man in your life:

• Watch: A watch can add sophistication to any wardrobe and is a functional piece of jewelry a man can feel comfortable wearing. If your boyfriend wears rings or other jewelry, match the watch metal to the metal he already wears, or choose a simple, attractive leather band.
• Tie bar: A tie bar is part of a classic style. It clips to a tie and should be positioned between the third and fourth button of the shirt. It's also a functional accessory because it keeps the tie fastened to the shirt. If your boyfriend wears dress shirts and ties regularly, he'll appreciate this thoughtful gift. You can increase its sentimental value with an engraving on the back of the bar.
• Cuff links: Cuff links add a classy touch to a dress shirt and can help your boyfriend hold the cuffs in place. Choose metal cuff links for a formal look or a lighthearted design your boyfriend can wear during a regular workday. You might choose cuff links engraved with his initials or a special date.
• Engraved ring: A ring is a personal gift that sends a message of love and commitment. You might get your boyfriend a simple band or a timeless onyx ring engraved with a loving message.

If you decide to shop for birthday jewelry for your boyfriend, first observe his style and the type of jewelry you've seen him wear. If you feel stuck, an experienced jeweler can help you find the right jewelry based on your boyfriend's personality and style.
