Ok i have this lady who i've talked about on here a couple times and i'm trying to follow through, i've been getting to know her these last couple weeks bit by bit. So i'm confident that this gift i bought her will put a smile on her face, very confident as i have already paid for it. It's a vintage necklace nothing major or expensive. I'm just hoping she likes it, i'm interested of course just wondering any of you think i am being over confident being that we don't know each other that well? Could this help me with her the least?

This actually isn't a valentine's gift, i just noticed the type of jewelry she wears/her dress style and want to do something nice and no i'm not expecting something special from this gesture but cool points lol

It's presumptuous to give her jewelry if you don't really know her.

For most women, jewelry is a significant gift, even if it's not diamonds and gold. SO it may throw her off a bit to receive it from you.

I don't remember your previous threads where you describe just how well (or not well) you know her. I would return the necklace and, if you really want to give her a gift as a gesture to make her think of you as sweet without turning her off by thinking you're skipping WAAAAAY ahead in your relationship, give her something thoughtful but not so meaningful.

Something you notice she uses a lot at work, or something for a pet etc. Something that shows you are paying attention but not necessarily planning your future together.

Don't get offended but just based off my experience if you have doubts about it then it's not a good sign. Generally I would advise that unless you are really getting serious with someone and the feeling is MUTUAL to avoid anything remotely expensive or anything that gives off I'm serious about you vibes.

How are you defining "nothing major or expensive"? Jewelry does seem like a very meaningful gift for someone you've only been seeing for a couple weeks, even if it's not very expensive. Also, I think this early on, it's not very appropriate to be giving "just because" gifts. If it's not her birthday or for Valentine's Day (or some other similar holiday), any type of gift seems a little too sentimental. You may very well be coming on too strong.

It isn't expensive at all, i don't think it says "wow" or "your the one". Wmsn4life, by jewelry being significant to women it's makes sense because it's not over the top and it isn't common. She does have a dog but i don't one thing about her dog or if it lives in miami with her plus i'm thinking of her not a dog which i think would be cool btw

It being an occasion is a good excuse, i want it to be memorable though and something meaningful yet uncommonly different. It's a vintage necklace not 24k gold necklace or white gold, it's kinda unique.
