It's become a sort of common practice for men to buy their female significant others jewelry, but it's pretty common that some women don't even particularly enjoy jewelry.

There is a lot to be considered when we talk about giving jewelry to someone you care about. There are several factors that can be associated with receiving jewelry from your boyfriend.

Here are 5 reasons women don't want to receive jewelry from a boyfriend.

1. It becomes an obligation to wear.

Whether it be a bracelet, a necklace, or a ring when a boyfriend buys his girlfriend any different variation of jewelry it automatically becomes something that she is expected to wear. This is the same as if your girlfriend were to buy you a pair of socks or a pair of pajamas. She expects to see this on you at some point, but with something as intimate as jewelry it can be expected that she wears it every day.

2. Cost.

Jewelry can seem to cost more or less than the actual amount spent. All around, this has the potential to create a problem. No piece of jewelry is the right amount and that is always going to be a fact. A woman will either brag that you spent too much, sulk that you spent so much, brag that you spent so little, or sulk that you spent so little.

3. It's easy to lose.

Every woman can admit to losing a piece of jewelry at some point in there life. Whether it be as little as a six dollar ring that turned their finger green or as big as a three thousand dollar necklace. It's going to happen eventually and it's a lot better to not have the jewelry at all than to have that heartbreaking discussion after you realize it's gone.

4. It's not comfortable.

It takes a long time to become adjusted to a new piece of jewelry and some people just don't have the patience to adjust. I know for myself, one piece of jewelry that I personally cannot adjust to is necklaces. I wear rings and bracelets all day long, but I simply cannot adjust to necklaces and some women feel the way about other pieces.

5. It could mean something more to her than it does to you.

This can also be vice versa. In the opinion of some people, giving your significant other jewelry is a giant stepping stone in a relationship. This can be taken MUCH more serious than what was originally intended. If you're thinking about getting something for your girlfriend that could be considered as serious as this, talk about it with her and make sure one of you isn't thinking this gift means more or less than it actually does.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
