How long should I wait to get my new girlfriend expensive gold jewelry?

I've been with my girlfriend for about a month now and she's hinting that she'd like some gold jewelry. She knows I'm pretty well off so I'm a little worried she might be a gold digger. Am I just being paranoid or is a month enough time to get her some pricey gold jewelry?

It sounds to me like you're just being paranoid! Can't a girl persuade her boyfriend to buy her some gold jewelry anymore? Just because you're rich doesn't mean she's only going out with you for your money. If you think so little of yourself, then that's a problem no one on a jewelry site is going to solve for you.

Just by using the term "gold digger" in your question, I'd say you've already got your answer. If you have any doubt about her reasons for being with you, then it's too early to be buying her expensive gold jewelry. No matter how well off you are, pricey jewelry gifts should be reserved for when you feel that you want to give them, not when she starts hinting she's ready to receive them. A month is pretty early to know how you really feel about someone, but hey, some successful marriages have taken place after just a few days of knowing each other. The point is that if you have to ask, I don't think you're ready to be spending any serious cash on gold jewelry just yet. I mean, besides shelling out the money, a gift of gold jewelry should have some meaning behind it. If you get her expensive jewelry gifts before you're ready, you'll be sending her the wrong message about where this relationship is going. Not only will she expect more jewelry, she'll expect your relationship to be moving forward, perhaps much more quickly than you would like. So if I were you, I'd think long and hard before making any rash decisions involving expensive gifts of gold jewelry. Before you buy her anything pricey you should have an answer to the question: Does she have a heart of gold or is she just a gold digger? Once you can answer that question, you'll be ready to either buy her gold jewelry because you truly want her to have it or end the relationship because at least one of you isn't in it for the right reasons.
