Step 1: Find Her Style Vibe

Minimalist: slim tennis chain, tiny pendant, delicate bracelet
Classic: yellow-gold tones, rope chains, simple tennis bracelet
Trend-Forward: iced Cuban links, layered chains, bold pendants
Sporty/Street: white-gold finishes, chunkier links, anklets

Step 2: Pick the Metal Color

Yellow Gold — warm, classic, and rich; pairs with nude/earth tones
White Gold — crisp, modern, and easy to match with silver watches
Rose Gold — soft, romantic, and universally flattering

Tip: peek at her current jewelry or watch—match that color first.

Step 3: Choose the Piece

Step 4: Select the Right Length

Necklaces:

40–45 cm (16–18"): sits higher; perfect for slim chains and pendants
50 cm (20"): the universal sweet spot; great solo or layered
55–60 cm (22–24"): relaxed drop; nice over tees and dresses

Pro layer: 45 cm (18") tennis under 50–55 cm (20–22") pendant for depth without going wider.

Step 5: Get the Size Right (Wrists & Ankles)

Bracelets (measure snug wrist and add 1–1.5 cm):

Small: 16–17.5 cm
Medium: 18–19 cm
Large: 19.5–21 cm

Anklets: most wear 22–25 cm; add 0.5–1 cm if she likes a looser fit.

Step 6: Choose Your Stones

Premium CZ: brilliant sparkle + best value; perfect for daily rotation
Moissanite (upgrade): high fire, tester-friendly brilliance (aspirational)
Diamonds: luxury tier; status piece for milestone birthdays

All options look amazing—pick based on budget and how often she'll wear it.
