Not only do they own a wide range of jewelry, from heirlooms to personalized pieces (the most of any state), over 60% of residents wear jewelry every day. The state also takes styling their jewelry seriously, as over half of residents also admit to changing their jewelry based on their outfits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connecticut<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Connecticut takes second place with an overall score of 6.8 out of 10. Residents here have some of the largest jewelry budgets in the country, spending an average of $260 annually on personal jewelry. And when it comes to gifting, they are even more generous, spending $430 on jewelry gifts each year \u2014 the highest in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maryland<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Maryland ranks third, with a score of 6.7. Not only do people in this state own a wide range of jewelry, favoring fine jewelry in particular, they are also the state that enjoys jewelry-related content the most.

Their high rank is mainly thanks to Oregon being the state most likely to wear jewelry every day, as 80% say they do. People here also seemingly have a deep love for gemstones, as they make the most Google searches for gemstone-related terms, from shopping for new gemstone pieces to researching their healing properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New York\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Rounding out the top five is New York, with a score of 6.2. New Yorkers spend more than any other state on jewelry for themselves, treating themselves to an average of $271 worth of jewelry per year. They are also keen to style the pieces they purchase, as over 50% say they will change their jewelry based on their outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much do Americans spend on jewelry?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to discovering where in America is home to the most jewelry-obsessed people, we also wanted to dive into who invests in their jewelry collection the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our survey revealed that people are spending an average of $360 on jewelry each year, whether for gifting others or buying for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, men actually spend more on themselves than women do, with men spending $442 each year, while women spend just over half of this, at $279 per year. Men also spend more on gifting ($223), than women do ($131).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to gifting jewelry to others, people in Connecticut are the most generous, spending a staggering $431 per year on average. In second place is South Carolina, spending $254, then Massachusetts (the most jewelry-obsessed state overall) comes third, spending $241 per year. On the flip side, people in Alabama spend the least, spending just $70 per year on jewelry gifts for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"c2acaa\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1360px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1360\/1258;--dominant-color: #c2acaa;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"1258\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1360px) 100vw, 1360px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Body-Wrapped-with-a-Bow.jpg\" alt=\"Shane Co. jewelry box with red ribbon around it\" class=\"wp-image-10648 not-transparent lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Body-Wrapped-with-a-Bow.jpg 1360w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Body-Wrapped-with-a-Bow-300x278.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Body-Wrapped-with-a-Bow-415x384.jpg 415w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Body-Wrapped-with-a-Bow-768x710.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Body-Wrapped-with-a-Bow-380x352.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Body-Wrapped-with-a-Bow-800x740.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Body-Wrapped-with-a-Bow-1160x1073.jpg 1160w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How and when do Americans gift jewelry?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From passing down an heirloom engagement ring to purchasing your children their first piece of fine jewelry for graduation, gifted pieces can hold so much value in sentiment. But when is it common to receive your first sentimental gift of jewelry? And from who?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heirloom jewelry: 17 years old<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Heirloom jewelry consists of pieces that are passed down through generations, often loved for their sentimental value and historical significance. These items can include wedding and engagement rings, necklaces, and charms that once belonged to family members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to our survey, the average age people receive their first piece of heirloom jewelry is 17 years old, perhaps due to parents or grandparents handing down items as a \u201ccoming of age\u201d tradition. Most people receive heirloom jewelry from their mothers, with 57% of people stating this, and a further two-fifths (40%) saying they received one from their grandmother, and 17% from their father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fine jewelry: 13 years old\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The average age at which Americans receive their first gift of fine jewelry is 13 years old. However, that hasn\u2019t always been the case, as the age varies by generation, with younger respondents (aged 16-26) saying they received their first piece of fine jewelry under the age of 10. In contrast, those aged 60 and older were gifted their first piece of fine jewelry later, at around 18 to 23 years old.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This may be due to gifting trends changing over time, as the norms around gifting jewelry have changed. Today, it\u2019s more common to give jewelry for a wider range of occasions, including childhood milestones like baptisms and birthdays. It could also be because of increased affordability over time, as older generations might have needed to wait longer until they were able to afford, or find, a special piece of jewelry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to choose the perfect jewelry gift<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gifting jewelry is a beautiful way to show someone you care for them, whether it\u2019s a new piece of fine jewelry, a personalized piece, or an heirloom item to be passed down through generations. We\u2019ve created some tips to help you choose the perfect jewelry gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consider who you\u2019re buying for\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you buy jewelry for someone, whether it\u2019s a birthday present or an engagement ring, think about what the giftee likes and what their style is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pay attention to their existing style and what they wear day to day. For example, some people prefer silver jewelry to gold and vice versa. Some prefer more minimalist pieces, while others prefer statement pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"997c72\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1360px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1360\/1360;--dominant-color: #997c72;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"1360\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1360px) 100vw, 1360px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Body-SweetNote.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11284 not-transparent lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Body-SweetNote.jpg 1360w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Body-SweetNote-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Body-SweetNote-384x384.jpg 384w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Body-SweetNote-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Body-SweetNote-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Body-SweetNote-380x380.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Body-SweetNote-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Body-SweetNote-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Body-SweetNote-1160x1160.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Body-SweetNote-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Body-SweetNote-48x48.jpg 48w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Body-SweetNote-96x96.jpg 96w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s the occasion?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about tailoring your gift to the occasion. For example, for major milestones, you might want to choose a timeless or high-quality piece. If you\u2019re buying an engagement ring, think carefully about the style and what your partner likes before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/articles-and-news\/best-cities-for-popping-the-question\/\">popping the question<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For anniversaries, you could choose a gift that aligns with the number of years you\u2019ve been married, such as pearls to celebrate 30 years together. For birthdays or holidays, more playful and versatile items, like charm bracelets or trendy earrings, can be appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Set a budget and stick to it<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Determine how much you\u2019re willing to spend and keep to this budget. For major milestones, you may want to consider spending a little more than you would for other occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And remember, a more affordable, well-thought-out gift can often be more appreciated than an expensive, impersonal one.
