Birthday Gifts for Your Sweet 16-Year-Old

It may be hard to believe, but your little princess is turning sixteen.

Sixteen really is a sweet age. Around this time your little girl is learning to drive, finding her own way, and maybe even going on a date or two. And now is a great time to gift her with a piece of fine jewelry.

As you start shopping for the ideal birthday gift, try to find the balance between timeless and trendy. This is something she'll want to keep forever, and if you think she'll appreciate a classic piece, she may wear it for years to come.

Stumped on where to start? Consider these 6 ideas for sweet sixteen inspiration.

Start simple
When it comes to jewelry, simple pieces go a long way. Whether it's a pair of sparkling diamond studs or a gold pendant, simple styles are versatile and easily paired with the ever-changing style of a 16-year-old.

Play up her personality
Does your daughter feel more like your BFF? Maybe she has a wild and free spirit. Whatever her personality may be, she might appreciate jewelry that's more fun than classic. By choosing playful pieces like a gemstone ring or dangle earrings , she'll be able to wear your gift while staying true to her own sense of style.

Birthstone beauties
If you've never given her birthstone jewelry, now is the perfect time. Studs, necklaces, or rings never go out of style. And if she already has birthstone jewelry, don't worry! A new addition will only enhance her collection.
