When "I'm Sorry" Isn’t Enough
Okay, let’s make one thing clear. No gift makes up for our crappy behavior. If we can’t say we’re sorry and mean it, we don’t deserve her.
Still, chances are that at some point, we’re gonna go over the line. And the more seriously she takes the relationship, the more our screw-up is going to hurt.
Whether it’s a playful acknowledgment of a minor offense or a serious attempt to win her back after a huge fight, a token of your affection can show her that the apology was sincere, and that you heart’s in the right place. Lucky for you, we're cheap therapy. In addition to our recommended Gifts for Women, we've got great ideas for just this kind of situation. So - how much trouble did you make for yourself? Is it more a Contemporary Jewelry screwup, or one of a Couture Jewelry nature?
I goofed.
You’ve been working late and neglected to call. You forgot something you promised to do. Something you said hurt her feelings. There’s no permanent damage, but you still feel bad.
This is the best kind of trouble to be in, obviously. A gift isn’t even necessary, because “I’m sorry” says it all. But a small token carries the impact of a grand gesture. Heart Jewelry shows you care; simple earrings can say, “I’m listening.”
I’m a jerk.
You had your first real fight. You insulted her friends. You paid too much attention to an old girlfriend. Whatever it was, she’s wondering what she saw in you.
Here a gift might be a really good idea – after she’s cooled off a little. Tell her it won’t happen again and that you want to make things right. A Contemporary Bracelet can say you hope the relationship is still intact.

I’m out in the cold.
Even you know the fight was your fault – and it wasn’t the first time. You said some things you regret, and she may have, too. But most of the blame is yours, and the room has a definite icy edge.
This time, you better back up that apology with something that shows you’re serious. Time to put it in writing: make sure the present is wrapped, include a sincere note, and be specific. A piece of jewelry in a gemstone that matches the color of her eyes says this is the last time it will happen. In fact, it might be a great time for us to introduce you to the cool blues of our Madelena or Patricia collections.

I’m right on the edge.
You didn’t know how good you had it, and now it’s almost gone. Whatever it was you did, you go cold with shame just thinking about it. And suddenly you realize just how important she is to you.
Now you need more than an apology: you need a plan. Pick your moment carefully, and rehearse your words to make sure they’re right. Tell her, too, how you’d like to make it up to her. And back it up with a grand romantic gesture. A South Sea Pearl Necklace says how precious she is; a ruby cradled in a Tahitian Pearl Pendant is a sign she holds your heart – though you admit you haven’t shown it. If she lets you fasten the chain around her neck, you’ve got a chance.

I’m history.
Dude – even we’re not sure she should put up with your crap anymore. Her friends have heard all the details, and the locks have been changed. Face it, you might be on your own.
If it comes to this point, you have to win her trust all over again. What you’re asking her to do is begin a different relationship – because you’ve changed. Let her know you recognize a last chance when you see it. This is the moment not only for a special gift but for a heartfelt event to mark the occasion. Take her far away from the scene of the crime, and give her a promise ring with one or more colored gemstones. Heck, desperate times might call for MANY colored gemstones, like our Multi Gemstone Ring . Should you make sure you know her favorite color? Oh, yes.
