In my country, jewelry is an expensive gift that people can give to each other. It happens on special events such as a marriage or celebration, birthdays. And if people have enough money to afford this purchase, for example, if your partner wants to get married to you, he or she can give a ring to you as a gift and it can cost a big amount of money. For example, if you turn to 18, your parents or other relatives give you something made of gold as a gift for your birthday. No, I haven’t given jewelry to someone as a gift because, as I said, it costs much. It’s quite expensive in my country to buy jewelry in good quality. If jewelry is gold or silver, you will spend a big amount of money. If it’s just jewelry that doesn’t consist of valuable stones or metal, you can give a person. But the gift is not so Porsche. That’s why I don’t give such presents for them.
