Want to see that special someone's eyes light up? Give diamond jewelry for a present.

Fine jewelry can sound like an intimidating gift to give

There's so much to know, both about the person you're giving it to and the jewelry you are buying. You want to get good value for your money while finding something that will be worn regularly.

One trick is to look at what he or she wears regularly. Any favorite jewelry? Favorite colors? Trendy or conservative style? Any hobbies or interests? You want to focus on the things you already know.

Let's start with an example. You're a man in a long term relationship buying a gift and she wears very simple jewelry, mostly gold and diamonds.

Here are a few suggestions for buying fine jewelry:

•   A 3-stone diamond pendant, diamond earrings or diamond ring. These are very popular right now.


•  A mother's ring. While it's probably going to be more colorful than what she normally wears, a mother's ring is a beautiful way for her to celebrate being a mother.


•  A right hand ring. These are diamond rings that are intended for the right hand. They're quite popular right now and available in a nice range of styles.

Here's another example. You've been dating a woman for a while, not ready to get her a diamond engagement ring yet, but would like to buy her a piece of fine jewelry.

•   Dangling diamond earrings or diamond stud earrings. Diamonds will look good on her. Diamonds look fantastic on every woman.


•   A dress watch. Get her something for your more elegant evenings out. Find a watch that suits her style. If she wears more delicate jewelry, one with a thinner strap is appropriate. If she prefers larger jewelry, she will probably prefer a larger watch.

 

Fine jewelry is a gift meant to last a lifetime

While some people have a very hard time finding the perfect item to give, it doesn't have to be as impossible as some feel it might be. The look of delight you are likely to get should make the challenge of shopping worth the time.

Choosing the shape of your diamonds is one of the key elements in determining the overall appearance of your engagement ring or other diamond jewelry. There are many fancy diamond shapes and variations from which to choose, but first off do not confuse "shape" with "cut". A diamonds shape is just that: the outward appearance of the stone, whether it is round, oval etc.; while the cut refers to how the diamond itself is fashioned, how many facets and so on.

Round Brilliant Diamonds

By far the most popular, accounting for more than 75% of diamonds purchased today, they are also the most expensive. Most coveted as an engagement ring, they also find their way into diamonds for earrings and pendants. Round Brilliant Diamonds are noted for their fire and brilliance.

Oval Diamonds

A perfectly symmetrical design yields a large surface area that gives the impression of a much larger diamond, oval diamonds are favored by women with smaller hands or shorter fingers, it's shape giving an elongated look to the hand.

  Princess Cut Diamonds

Though in appearance the smallest of diamonds, a Princess Cut Diamond is basically an inverted pyramid which puts most of the carat weight near the bottom. Princess cut diamonds are most often sought as solitaires, and are a relatively recent shape.
