OMG, no! That would be very rude. Perhaps she's waiting to wear the necklace for a special occasion. Or maybe she doesn't have an outfit to match it yet. Of course, there's always the possibility that she simply didn't like it. If the last is the case, don't take it as a reflection of how she feels in your relationship. It just may not be her taste of jewelry and she accepted the gift because, after all, it's the thought that counts. Either way, just because she doesn't wear a necklace that you got her isn't a reason to be upset with her.

I wouldn't. It's really the thought that counts, and you are a thoughtful friend for giving even giving her a present. There could be lots of reasons why you haven't seen her wear it - she could have worn it when she wasn't around you, she could be waiting for a special occasion to wear it, or, it might not be her style, so she's not wearing it. Regardless, I'm sure she appreciates the thought.
But, it also depends on how close you are, if you are really close to her, I would say, "I noticed you have not worn the necklace I bought you. Do you like it? Would you like me to exchange it for something else?"

No, don't mention it. This happened to me too. I bought someone a pendant and someone else a dress watch, but I never saw them wearing my gifts. I suppose they don't like the gift or they don't want to intentionally wear it to show that they are wearing. Not seeing them wear it doesn't mean they don't wear it. It would be quite pretentious of them too to wear it for you to see that they are wearing your gift. Forget about it. However, it could mean they really don't like it, so don't buy them such gifts in the future.

No. A gift is given freely and the recipient can do with it as he or she pleases, which includes giving it away, throwing it away or keeping it in a safe place for a special occasion.
To consider: She might be allergic to something in the necklace. Anything not 18k gold makes me break out.

If your friend is not wearing the neckalce you got her it dose'nt neccesarily mean that she does not like it. To tell you the truth I have received a lot of jewlery gifts but always wore them on special ocasions because I was scared of losing them. Your friend could be thinking the same thing I mean who dose'nt like a necklace!

No, you shouldn't bring it up. It is hers to do with what she wants and the mention of it might cause a rift. The answer to your question might make things difficult. She might not like it, may have lost it, regifted it, etc.... Perhaps she is just waiting for the perfect occasion to wear it.
Giving jewelry is dicey because it is so personal like art work unless you know exactly what the persons taste runs to. I have rarely worn a piece of jewelry given to me and have given almost all the pieces away.

NO. Never. It is a gift and she can do what she pleases. Like other users said..she might not like it..forgot..or gave it away.
Or worse..it broke the first time she tried to wear. Happened to me 2 years back..and I still have it my jewelry box waiting to get repaired.

No, I wouldn't.
My friends buy me things sometimes that I like(usually), but I don't wear often because:
-I don't like it(which I feel bad about)
-I forget about it
-I accidentally lost it
-etc
And like that first guy said, it's hers now,a nd she can do what she wants with it.
I understand how you feel though. I made my boyfriend a picture(and it was good!) and it took him like 2 months to get it off his floor and put it on his wall

Certainly not. She is your friend, don't throw guilt at her. You should feel good for giving the gift and her accepting it. Let her do as do as she chooses. Complement her for the ones she does wear. She might remember yours eventually, but remember it's not yours any more.

It's a gift and she should be able to do what she wants with it, nut it would be nice to see her wear it now and again I guess. But I wouldn't bring it up.
