The jeweler explained the rules of jewelry donation
The ring and the watch remain popular jewelry gifts, but they have different symbolic connotations and donation rules. All the details are in the Izvestia article.
The symbolism of the rings in the gift
The ring is considered the most significant accessory. Historically, it symbolizes a union, so a gift can be perceived as a hint of serious intentions or a marriage proposal. According to the rules of etiquette, you should not give such jewelry to women with whom you have only business relations.
For loved ones, the ring remains an appropriate gift. As noted by Tatiana Sergeeva, an expert at the Sunlight jewelry store chain, such a gesture will become a sign of special love and care if presented to her mother, sister or grandmother. Girlfriends can also give each other rings without fear, based on an intuitive understanding of each other's taste.
"There are many situations when it is appropriate to give a ring. It will become a sign of special love and care — you can give a ring to your mother, grandmother, or sister without any fear," Sergeeva explained.
Superstitions around watches
Gifts in the form of watches are often accompanied by superstitions. It is believed that they can count down the time until parting or lead to quarrels. To avoid negative connotations, you can use the tradition of "redemption": the recipient gives the donor a small coin, turning the gift into a symbolic purchase.
In a business environment, watches are considered a personal accessory. According to etiquette, it is better to give them only to trusted partners or close colleagues. When choosing a model, it is important to take into account a person's lifestyle — strict classics are suitable for some, sports or high—tech models for others.
"A watch is an accessory that we wear every day. That is why it is important that they reflect the inner world of the owner. Someone chooses strict classics, someone chooses high-tech sports chic, and someone chooses bright models with stones that look like jewelry," Sergeeva added.
Universal jewelry Gifts
Chains, bracelets, and pendants are considered universal options that have no hidden meaning. They are suitable for any degree of intimacy and easily fit into the recipient's wardrobe. When choosing a gift for colleagues or strangers, experts recommend giving preference to laconic models, such as stud earrings or thin silver chains.
An important selection criterion remains the style of the person himself. If he prefers a certain metal, such as white gold or silver, the gift should match this collection. For special occasions, larger items are appropriate: layered bracelets or accent earrings. For anniversaries or birthdays, jewelry with individual overtones, such as engravings, initials, or a talisman stone, will be a good option.
