I’m thinking maybe a ring or set of earrings. Budget is 50-100 USD. Shipping to Japan or EU, either works (we are in both in the near future).
How should I start? I’m so lost.
If it helps her style is halfway between elegant and hippy (witchy) and she gives off autumn vibes (wears dark greens and maroons a lot, paired with light skin, often wears turtlenecks and dark colours).
I just don’t have a clue what websites to look at, what is considered good or bad etc.
I would start with what she currently wears and try to find something with similar styles and metals.
Yes, metals do matter, some metal coatings don’t work with some people and will cause them problems.
Seconding everything here, but emphasizing point 2. Some folks have metal allergies or sensitivities - nickel is a common one, for example.
Surgical steel is usually safe, but still best to confirm she doesn’t have any particular sensitivities.
This.
Jewelry gifts are not a time to get wacky. She has made very purposeful choices of what counts as every day wear thus far. If you want to get her something that could be every day wear, take note of the current stuff.
