Her Birthday

What’s the big deal with birthdays? Well, for one thing, they mark the stages of our lives in a way no other day can do. They’re intensely personal. And they carry with them a whole wealth of family traditions. Their significance also changes subtly as we get older. When you remember her birthday, you remember what makes her unique.

Your Engagement

You’ve chosen the ring, right? Isn’t that enough?

Well, yes. And...no. The ring is all about the proposal. But your engagement will typically last for several months or more – and during that time, you’re getting closer than ever. As you look to the future, and as she’s dealing with the million details of a wedding, give some thought to special jewelry for her to wear on your wedding day. Our Gifts for Brides page has lots of good ideas.

Whatever you select, it should go with the dress, the hair, the veil, and a host of other things. You’re probably way out of your league here, so don’t be afraid to ask for help. An especially nice touch is to ask her mother or best friend to help with your selection. And who knows when you might need them on your side?

Your Anniversary

Hey, remember when you got married? She does. And because every anniversary recalls your wedding day, remembering them isn’t enough. They’re to be celebrated. This is especially true of the milestones: one, five, ten, twenty and the rest. But a special gift when she’s not expecting it – or on an anniversary when she’s not feeling special herself – can make her look at you suddenly with new eyes. And isn’t that what it’s all about?

Check here for a guide to traditional anniversary gifts.

A Baby’s Birth

Few moments will be more meaningful in your life together than the birth of your first child (and your next, and your next, and your - you get the idea). Like you, she’s happy, proud, totally exhausted, and wondering how this will affect everything. While everyone fusses over the baby, it's important that you let her know she’s still your one and only. Your lives are about to change forever but your love never will.

So what do you get for your sweetheart-turned-mother? Turns out moms love to remember their kids, even when they're not with them. So we recomend our Custom Pendants. These pendants feature your kids' names, beautifully engraved and thoughtfully remembered. You might also consider a classic piece of jewelry that will mature just as well as little Tommy.

Mother’s Day

Her life is busier and richer than ever. But when she looks in the mirror, sometimes a mother is all she can find. She needs to know you still see the woman you married. On Mother’s Day in May or any day, really, a gift of fine jewelry celebrates everything she is and what she means to you all.

Speaking of which: what have you done for your mom lately? Better cruise on over to our Gifts for Mom selection.

Valentine’s Day

Okay, so it can be corny and commercial. Moreover, why should we limit romance to one day a year? Doesn’t that send exactly the wrong message? Yes, we’ve all heard the objections. But guess what? When all her friends are getting roses, she doesn’t want to brag about how logical you are. Are you man enough to please her, even if you feel a little foolish doing so? Here’s your chance. Items from our Heart Jewelry Collection are especially sweet gifts for her on February 14th, but if she's not into heart jewelry, here are some other options.

Christmas and Hanukkah

This is one of the big ones. There’s something about the days drawing in and the year drawing to a close that puts everyone in a nostalgic mood. And the holidays, like birthdays, are loaded with associations from childhood. You don’t have to spend a lot of money, but this is the time to make your gift truly heartfelt. Fine jewelry can recall private jokes and special times you’ve enjoyed over the year, with a promise of more to come. Engraving the date makes it even more appreciated. Bella True makes a point to keep you updated on our latest styles, so that you won't make the mistake of choosing something far too similar to what you did last year. So take a peek at the New Jewelry Designs section for a gift that's current and timeless this holiday season.

Graduation

She’s earned more than a degree; she’s earned some recognition from you. Show her your pride with a gift to mark the occasion. You might start by taking a peek at our Gifts for Grads section. She’ll especially appreciate a gift of fine jewelry appropriate to the new world she’s gained entrance to – whether it’s her first real job or the opportunity to sit for the bar. Celebrating life's achievements reminds her you’re with her as she moves on from here - and, make no mistake, that's huge.
