There are some people in everybody's life who are special. Giving and receiving gifts to and from them mean happy times. While receiving gifts from people leaves you with no choice but to accept them, buying gifts for people you care, can be quite challenging.

To spare yourself from that rigorous mental and physical exercise, think of buying a jewellery piece as a gift. Jewellery makes a perfect gift for everybody and for every occasion. Plus there are innumerable types of Jewellery to choose from- like handmade jewellery, gemstone jewellery, pearl jewellery, gold jewellery, diamond jewellery, platinum jewellery, beaded jewellery, and custom designed jewellery.

But before you think of loosening your purse strings to buy that sparkling piece of gift, keep three things in mind- the person and his/her preferences, your budget and the occasion. Depending on these you should decide the particular jewellery you want to gift.

For loving mom: She is very special in your life. A woman who has been with you with every step you took since your birth. She deserves to be treated in a special way.  Be it her birthday or Mother's Day, surprise her with a gem studded bracelet, a gold chain, a set of gold bangles, diamond ring or her favourite pearl earrings.

If you have just started earning or short of money, even a nose pin would do. Though she would love anything from you-expensive or inexpensive, but we suggest you to be generous for her - moneywise. You can opt for a gold chain with a diamond pendant. If this sounds expensive, try asking your dad and siblings to contribute. They will do it happily for the common gift.

For caring dad: He has always been there when you needed him. He has spent more on you than on anything else in the world. And you sure want him to know that all his hard work is paying off.

The best way to thank your father would be to gift him something, which has a personal touch of yours, for example some personalised father gifts. When shopping for his birthday or Father's Day, think of the gold plated cufflinks or a gold chain, if he likes to wear one. A photo charm bracelet with a personal touch is another good idea.

For dear friend: Come friendship day and you think of buying her a favourite piece of jewellery. Ethnic pieces are something, which are always in fashion. They really have a rich and elegant look. Semi precious stone jewellery is also something, which can be gifted to her. Fashion Jewellery can be customised according to your or her choice. You can make a total set of necklace, earring and ring matching with a particular dress.

For your Valentine: Love defines all relationships but this one is solely dependent on love. Needless to say that you want something which has the symbol of 'heart' etched on it. Doesn't really matter if it is diamond, gold or artificial jewellery but it has everything to do with love only.

Ring is a common and most popular gift with both men and women. Rings can be sleek and heavy, as (s)he prefers. You can opt for diamond or platinum ring if your budget is high or you can go for gold rings, which are all time favourite. You will find plenty of designs in this category in almost every type of jewellery. So have your pick and gift.

For the beautiful bride: Wedding is very special and once in a lifetime occasion. If the bride happens to be your special person (and even if not so), then you sure want to give her something special and memorable. Pearl jewellery has always been popular with women.

Pure pearls are an asset and can be passed down as an heirloom. Well known for their elegance and timelessness, pearls are found in many varieties today. Cultured pearls are the most popular. Then there are black or Tahitian pearls which look very unique. Presenting a single strand pearl necklace or a double strand, or a ring or a pair of earrings would be an ideal gift for the bride which she will cherish all her life.

For one and all: There are certain jewellery pieces which make great gifts. They suit all occasions (birthday, anniversaries, Valentine's Day, Christmas, and other festivals) and all people like them. People with fat wallets prefer gems. Gemstones make an expensive gift, no doubt, but they are also unique and capable of making someone feel special.
