My husband and I have totally different taste in jewelry. I never expect to get jewelry from him (and I'm rarely disappointed!) I buy my own, love to pick it out and wear it, and it doesn't bother me in the slightest that my husband doesn't participate or buy for me. get what you like and enjoy wearing it!

Studs or a tennis bracelet are great ideas for buying for yourself.As one poster says,don't wait for someone else to buy for you,you might be waiting forever!! And do you treat yourself to other things?? If you do,this is just the same!
My dh is great when it comes to things like that,he knows my tastes very well,but even with that he'll always run something by me first.The fact he has seen something and thought of me is lovely enough!!
And as for a right hand ring,long before me and dh were a distant thought,I bought myself a really heavy platinum band with a little diamond set in it,I just love it,and 8 years on,I'm still wearing it!! So go treat yourself!! Its a very empowering feeling to treat yourself to something as great as jewellery!
One last demand hunny,post pics when you get something ok!!??? xxx
My mother once said "Never rely on a man to buy you anything. If you want it, YOU get it"
She meant flowers, which I constantly buy myself, and jewelry, which I did up until I was married but he loves that stuff so much, and has such good taste, I let him LoL
But when I was single, if I had the money, a-shoppin I would go! And I never feel guilty about the couples in the joint. I mean, HEY, I'm young, single, fabulous, and buying it for myself! I don't need anyone! But I would like a right hand ring, sir, could I try that one on?

ROFL!
when I was single I never bought myself jewelry but only because I was never into diamonds back then. I'm still not too fascinated by them except for my engagement ring.
I buy my own jewelry, it makes me very proud to be able to do so! However, once I am in a serious relationship any jewelry gifts would be extremely appreciated!
I'm married and have lots of jewelry I've bought for myself, lots from my husband, and lots that were gifts from other people. If I like the jewelry, I'll take it any way I can get it. Many of my more expensive pieces are things I've bought myself (my diamond studs, for example.) I would never expect anyone else to buy me something really pricey, so when I want stuff like that I consider it my responsibility to fund the purchase.
Never be afraid to buy something wonderful for yourself!
I'm single (divorced) and love to shop for jewelry. I have much nicer jewelry than my married friends, because the husbands won't spend the money!

my bf surprised me with earrings for our last anniversary but i really didn't like them and had them returned. he was quite hurt that i didn't like it too, which sucked. he has also surprised me with a necklace i didn't like either, but i ended up keeping that one because i didn't have the heart to tell him. since then i have made sure to drop clear hints...
therefore, i think it's nice to buy your own jewelry since you'll get exactly what you want. too bad i don't have the money right now--i have to rely on my parents.

When I turned 24 (and was working at Macy*s), I took advantage of a sale and my employee discount and bought myself the most beautiful sapphire ring.
