Japanese women’s jewelry (necklace) preferences?
I am trying to figure out what sort of accessory to buy for my fiance (who is Japanese) for Christmas. She doesn't wear earrings, so I am going to get her a necklace of some sort, which I know she will appreciate.
Obviously, this will be generalizing, but I have a few questions about Japanese women's accessory preferences: Do Japanese women prefer simple jewelry or more intricate designs? White gold or Yellow gold? Do they wear stones other than diamonds (e.g. citrines, topaz, etc.)?
Any opinions from Japanese women, or those familiar with Japanese style are appreciated. Here are a few links to a variety of items as options for discussion.

Comments on Japanese women’s jewelry (necklace) preferences?
Honestly it depends on the person. What if I asked you if Americans preferred simple or intricate jewelry? It’s really hard to say… even hard to generalize maybe?? I think all the necklaces are gorgeous, but the blue one stands out to me. You should pick it =P Maybe ask your fiance what her favorite colors and stones etc are. That may help you get a better idea. Congrats on getting married soon ^^
the first one, the bezel set diamond necklace is so classic and beautiful, I cannot imagine anyone not loving it. Other than that, the first thing that came to mind was that Japan is famous for their Mikimoto pearls. They are the best cultured pearls on earth and I suppose that Japanese women themselves love them.
As to metal color, what does she usually wear? What color is her watch? I would stick with that color.
I for one don’t like the blue topaz/diamond necklace at all.
