you recieved from your boyfriend? i gave my then GF now wife a opal pendant surrounded with little diamonds it cost $200.this is back in 1977 that was a lot of money for a 18 old year kid to spent.

EDIT:..do you still have that gift ?
 
My husband gave me an emerald ring for our first Christmas. It was beautiful, and the nicest piece of jewelry I had ever owned.

My first boyfriend gave me a St Christopher medal on a chain to go steady.

My first jewelry gift from my now husband was my engagement ring in 1979. We met in September and got engaged in January. For the wedding gift he got me a pretty teardrop shaped ruby on a chain. I think he paid $40 for it. I used to keep my necklaces on a hook in the bathroom and I looked one day and the ruby was gone.

Yes, vtigger, $200 in 1977 was a lot of money!
 
The very first jewelry gift my husband gave to me while we were dating was a yellow gold, heart-shaped locket. I have it on my charm bracelet now.
 
The first gift my husband gave me was a 14K gold anklet for my HS graduation.

The very first jewelry gift my SO gave me was a "taken" bracelet for Christmas--like a friendship bracelet, but we were more than friends. I had asked him for it... he made it out of glass beads and alphabet beads spelling out "my sweetheart".

The first "real" jewelry present was sapphire-and-diamond earrings on my birthday.

...the 70's sure was fun.
 
I didn't get jewelry from boyfriends much - i was more into sports & music than jewelry when i was younger...

The first jewelry gift i got was from my "ex" when he proposed - a 1/4(?)ct round center w v small peridots (his birthstone) on each side. I thought it was luvly at the time- i'd always secretly wanted a diamond (as it's my birthstone)... tho we weren't ready for marriage (at least not to each other)

The first jewelry gift I got from my fiance was such a surprise - i had no idea he was going to get me a pendant (& necklace) for my birthday - he'd told me he was going to get me a TV! It was the first birthday of mine we'd celebrated together & we'd been going out for nearly a year & i had no idea he'd find me something so personal & beautiful... at first i didn't think it was my style but when he told me the story of all the effort he put into finding it, i realized how lovely & special it/he really was & i haven't taken it off since....

Edited to add: Good Q vtigger!

On our first Christmas together (we had been dating six months), my husband gave me a beautiful gold locket with a picture of him as a little boy on one side and a picture of him at his college graduation (the prior year) on the other. Needless to say, I treasure it and it has always meant more to me than my original ering does. Once I thought I had lost it and I literally got sick. I'll let you read what he inscribed on the back.

Wow. This explains why you two have moved up to 3 carat stones and while I've just graduated to over one carat (and I-1s, at that!).

angryfire.gif
,they think money grows on trees.
 
Yes, vtigger, we have a couple of those too. They are expensive aren't they? Don't you hate when you spoil them and then they end up spoiled?

Greg's first jewelry gift to me was for my birthday, 4 months after we started dating. they were gold hoops and a pair of silver ones. he was upset he couldn't find more expensive silver hoops...hehee. he didn't know I didn't like gold at all. I still have the gold hoops, they are beautiful, thick and flat oval style rather than round...but i wear them very infrequently since they are basically the only gold I have. the silver are long gone, silver doesn't last me very long..i'm a breaker.
2.gif
my current hoops are platinum and I bend those too sometimes.





His next jewelry gift to me was for Christmas that first year, 1ctw diamond earrings! hahaha....he should have run then.

I got my first jewelry gift from a boyfriend (my first love) when I was 15 (the year was 1979). It was a white gold ring with a very tiny diamond (maybe 2 points). I still have that little ring and treasure it.




I wish I could remember my first jewelry gift from my now husband -- I think it was a watch

I met my hubby online. When we actually met in person the first time, it was Dec. 23rd, and he brought me a Christmas gift. It was a Dior butterfly pin. Yes, I still have it.

Two months later, he bought me a Tiffany silver open heart necklace. Our ninth anniversary is next month. We're going to Vegas for the weekend, and he's already told me I can pick out something while we're there as my gift. It's been 10 years of being spoiled......
 
Jennifer- thank you for sharing that special locket. I almost got teary reading it. What a sweetheart of a man. You lucky gal.

My memory stinks but I think my first jewelry gift from hubby was our gold wedding bands. Unfortunately mine is somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.
He still has his.
 
The first and only jewelry gift from websailor was my e-ring where I had picked out the stone. He just doesn't feel comfortable buying me jewelry so I buy my own.

On the other hand, he will buy me hiking boots or trekking poles any day.
 
vtigger...thanks for this thread. i love reading everyone's stories. all of them!

And thanks for your sharing your reaction to that locket. I still get teary when I look at it. He is a very special man.

The first piece of jewelry that my boyfriend gave me was a gold heart pendant. It was Valentine's day, his sophomore year in college, my freshman year, and we were attending colleges 2 states apart. We'd been dating for 2.5 years at the time, but since it took him SEVEN MONTHS to even kiss me, that's not so long to wait for jewelry! Also, since neither of us has ever dated anybody else, he did not have experience buying jewelry for girlfriends, and I was so "low-maintenance" that I didn't expect or wish for jewelry from him at the time. It's only since I found pricescope that I've become obsessed with jewelry, especially platinum-set diamonds!!!

dh gave me a very heavy silver cleopatra style necklace which I still have, my e-ring was the next piece and then a gold watch which I also still own.




I never get rid of any of my jewellery, but these pieces were all given to me by my dh before we were married and I still treasure them.
 
First piece of jewlery I got from the dear fiance was a fake out for the real thing. I have a bad habit of trying to guess what my presents are before I get them. I guessed a watch for my birthday after about 5 months of dating, b/c he hated that I was always just a bit late for thing.

So, since I guessed, when we were opening presents with friends, he indeed got me a watch. A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles changable face plastic watch (and a really nice sweater set) to throw me off track. The next day, while opening presents with family, I got the real thing. A gorgous Coach watch that I had causually mentioned I liked about a month before. He got off on the right foot, humor and great taste in jewlery gifts... I still love him for that and about a million other things.
 
All jewelery from anyone but my fiancee doesn't count and has been melted or given away...

SO....my first piece of jewelery was my promise ring. Technically it was a pretty platinum band with a tiny diamond in it but was changed, given to me on my birthday.

I opened the Tiffany's box in my PJs with a very scared look on my face actually PRAYING it wasn't my e-ring. Since we spoke about our future together, I always dreamed of a moment where I at least had my hair done and wasn't wearing something hideous... Luckily it was the first promise ring (which my friend insisted was less "tacky" than the one he ORIGINALLY wanted)

Note: We traded the little band which looked like a teeny tiny e-ring (the Elsa Peretti Diamond Stacking Ring) for my classic Tiffany's Signature ring which he originally KNEW I would like before my friend butt in, and I LOVED his choice!!!

Subsequently, my way ward friend has been fired.
 
I love this thread. My fiance and I started dating just two months prior to my 30th birthday. My first gift from him was a 24 karat gold necklace with two pendants. One was a 24 karat gold pendant of a tiger (his Chinese zodiac symbol) and another of a boar (my Chinese zodiac sign). He's half Chinese and half Japanese and Asians like to give 24 karat gold jewelry as a symbol of the purity of love. To this day, he says that the only precious metals to touch my skin are platinum or 24k gold.
 
The first peice of jewelry i ever got from a b/f is my current one of 4 years. For christmas just before our 1 year anni, he got me a white gold chain type necklace with yellow balls. I've worn it just about every day since he gave it to me. Last christmas he got me diamond earrings, bezel set in white gold. I wear them quite frequently as well. Im not sure of the size of them, but they arent very big. Maybe a 1/4 or so tcw which is what he could afford a the time (he had just spent 9 months unemployed). Next will be my ering in 4 weeks (YEA!!!!).
 
I've had alot of boyfriends and only one nice piece of jewelry!
naughty.gif
My current BF gave me a gold necklace he bought several years ago from the middle east while in the service. IT'S GORGEOUS! It's like a collar of lacy gold, delicate and fancy all at the same time, reminds me alot of gold jewelry from India. I haven't worn it yet except when I play
love.gif
. None of my dresses do it any justice!
 
First jewelry gift from a boyfriend was a star sapphire ring in white gold --these were popular going steady rings way back before color TV was invented.

First gift from fiance were sapphire and diamond earrings.
