You might be a couple who have a transparent relationship in which you involve each other in every decision you make, if not you might be a couple who likes to surprise each other every now and then. If you belong to the latter category, you need to do some detective work and make a note of your partner’s jewelry preferences and choices, which should include whether they like vintage, classic, or modern minimalist ones along with their go-to metal color and preferred shape.
