Picture this: you only ever wear silver jewelry. Your husband surprises you with an expensive GOLD necklace after not buying you jewelry since your (silver) wedding band. How do you respond?

Personally, I thanked him for the thought but asked to exchange it because I simply won't wear it often as-is, and it's more expensive than my two rings combined (though those were more affordable in general.) But I also got on him a bit for not knowing I'm a silver girlie. I'm the coolest of cool tones, not even close to a gold girl. He bought the rings so you think he'd know.

Men don’t know this. Something similar happened to me. I wear a lot of jewelry and my husband always tends to go for pearls when choosing things for me. It’s never been my favorite as I can’t wear pearls everyday or I’ll ruin them. But I just save those items for date nights or weddings now. I did tell him I can’t wear them everyday and that’s why I would never buy them for myself so he’s aware. Maybe save it for occasions and switch it up for him.

I would probably ask to switch it out for something more my style, but I don't usually expect men to know which colors compliment which skin tones. The vast majority of men's jewelry knowledge is gold=more expensive=better.....it's not true but that's honestly the best impression I've gotten over the years and most of my family is in the jewelry business and has been for generations so it's a frequent topic of conversation among people I know.

My partner wouldn’t buy me gold as I’ve never liked it and he just goes for a more expensive silver etc but as mentioned above all men are different it’s a shame he doesn’t know what you like as it would make me feel little, but at the end of the day it’s the thought that counts ❤️

Don't be upset about it and give him a hard time, my partner bought me a ring for mothers day a few days ago and he bought me the exact same one last year 😂 he just returned it and I chose another one haha

Compliment the gesture try it and then kindly explain to him why you would like to exchange it. Maybe he thought you have enough things in silver and needed something different.

I’d genuinely accept it and not say much, I’ve returned and swapped a few bits my partners bought over the years and I don’t get any bought anymore 🫣

He is a man! 🤦🏻‍♀️ they simply don’t think about things like this. Have you specifically told him you do not like gold, if you have, was he actually listening lol 😂

Speak up. The sooner the better. If he thinks you liked it he will keep buying it. Communication is key. This is true for jewelry, food, lube, everything. Let your partners know your preferences.

You should tell him you only wear silver jewelry. My grandparents have been married for 58 years and my grandpa knows exactly what she likes and doesn't like and she doesn't have one particular style. If he knows it matters to you it will matter to him.

My husband did this. He bought me rose gold jewelry which I hardly wear. I told him option 4

i’m the same but with gold . my husband only buys me gold . he even switched to only gold 🤣 but my engagement ring is gold and silver and i hated it at first but i love it now … (bc i get sm compliments on it probably) but now it’s my fav ring . still only semi silver i own tho

I'd thank him for the thought and asked if there was a reason he thought of gold. Maybe he thought "she had plenty silver and no gold let me get her something gold" instead of "she has silver because she doesn't like gold. Let me stick with silver" yk? If he says he thought you liked gold then it's a good opportunity to say something like "I love the style you chose! I'm not a gold girly though. So I wouldnt wear it as it wouldn't match any of my jewelry. Can we exchange this for the same style just in white gold or silver?" Don't accept it without letting him know or he's gonna think it was a hit and you'll end up with more gold. I wouldn't go straight to "you don't see me AT ALL" off one thing because surely, he sees you in so many ways or you would not have married him yk?
