I'm just hoping she likes it, i'm interested of course just wondering any of you think i am being over confident being that we don't know each other that well? Could this help me with her the least?

This actually isn't a valentine's gift, i just noticed the type of jewelry she wears/her dress style and want to do something nice and no i'm not expecting something special from this gesture but cool points lol
Why do you need cool points from her? Do you think she is cooler than you, do you think that you are not cool enough, or do you simply believe that her social value is higher than yours? Keep your money to yourself, it does nothing for your future with this woman, period.

Don't do it. You want her to like you for you, not what you can give her. I had a guy give me a necklace like this and it was pretty awkward. He showed up at my work and wanted me to open it. I felt really put on the spot and didn't know how to respond as I only considered him a friend. I gave it away to a cousin.

It's not bad to give gifts but I would wait until you are sure of your situation...that you have some sort of romantic connection that goes both ways.

Every situation is different i'm not scared as your admirer wasn't but maybe he could have picked a better time there, not that it would have had a better effect but maybe you wouldn't have felt so embarrassed.

I think most of the awkwardness fell into the fact that I realized at that moment this guy was really into me, and that was that main issue. I didn't want to hurt his feelings.
So if you feel it would go over well then go for it! Good luck.

It doesn't seem to me like you really wanted to see all opinions. You are just looking for some opinions that coincide with what you want to do to make yourself feel better. In any case, good luck!
