A great story is the ultimate safety net when it comes to buying jewelry. Example: if my boyfriend were to get me a gold cuff bracelet, I wouldn't be super excited, because I hate gold cuff bracelets. However, if he were to tell me that he found said gold cuff bracelet at a vintage jewelry store and it used to belong to Joan of Arc, I would love it with a passion and wear it every day until I died.
You can use your own story, too, like explaining to her why a certain ring reminded you of her or how you chose a particular necklace. What really matters is that she knows you put some thought into it. So let her know the story behind the jewelry, and you'll be golden (or silver, if she prefers).
