Aaron
in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, a long time fan of MYNIPPON,
who has been dating a girl for over two years now, has
written to us with his dilemma about selecting an appropriate gift for his sweetheart. He writes, "I want to offer my girlfriend, among other things, a
pair of diamond earrings as a gift to let her know what she
means to me, since I am not yet
ready to propose and buy her
an
engagement ring. But, as you know, the diamond can be of different color
Similarly the earrings can be made of gold or silver or
platinum. So I would like to know the meaning of different colors, and also the meaning of
platinum, gold, and silver. This is important as I don't want to make a mistake and offend her."

As some of you might already know,
Tiffany's, one of the world's most expensive jewelry chain, derives a large chunk of its revenue from
making some excellent designs for earrings, and that is why we like
them. The other plus of shopping at Tiffany's is that when you are
ready for the engagement ring you can buy something that will match
well. Then there is
Mikimoto, another famous jewelry chain that has stores around the world.
Of course, there are other stores, even the ones in the mall, but we
do not recommend them as they do not provide the kind of customer
service that some of the famous names do. |
So what do women really like?
Our fashion expert says, "I believe women tend to give importance to their own
birth stone. According to the zodiac sign, which
many woman are increasingly starting to attach a lot of importance to, there is an associated lucky
stone for each person. It is believed that it brings good luck when
a woman has her own stone. It doesn't matter if the stone is big or small. Therefore, a man should first check her birthday, and then pick the right stone
that belongs to her sign. However, most women are very kind and it is wonderful for them to have any present, especially from
their lovers. Our understanding is that no matter what the
matching stone for a sign is, a diamond works all the time."

We also find that because of the skin color of
a woman, they tend to prefer silver, or gold, or platinum, and
sometimes, white gold. However, the metal of choice among
most women is
platinum. Fairly expensive, but it adds a lot of beauty to a woman. Since
most professional women do not use much jewelry most of the time, what they do use has to be very special.
