Keep reading the next sections to find out more about the questions to ask before you shop and the difference between diamond gifts for a wife and a girlfriend.
Questions to Ask Before Buying a Diamond Christmas Gift
Before you buy any diamond gift, there are 3 things you should find out about her. First, notice the jewelry she wears every day for about a week, if she is wearing studs daily then diamond studs will be a good gift and if she wears a necklace always then a diamond pendant can be chosen. Second, check which metal she wears the most between white gold, yellow gold and rose gold, and go for the same metal in the diamond gift. Third, think if a ring will give the wrong message! A diamond ring for a girlfriend on Christmas morning can be confused with a proposal, so if you are not planning to propose, it is safer to choose diamond earrings, a pendant or a bracelet.
Diamond Christmas Gifts Under $1,000
Under $1,000 you can find small diamond gifts which she can wear daily. Small diamond studs of 0.25 to 0.50 carat total weight give a small sparkle and can be worn to work as well as everywhere else. A solitaire pendant with one small diamond on a thin chain is simple and classic. An initial necklace with small diamonds can have her initial or your initial on it for a personal touch, and a thin diamond stacking ring is a good gift for women who like to wear many rings together.
Diamond Christmas Gifts from $1,000 to $2,500
The diamond Christmas gifts from $1,000 to $2,500 are pieces that she can keep for many years:
- 1 carat total weight diamond studs: 1 carat total weight is regarded as the most popular size of diamond studs, with two diamonds of 0.50 carat each. With lab grown diamonds you can also get a bigger pair in this budget. You can read our diamond stud earrings guide to know more about the sizes.
- Halo pendant: A halo pendant has a centre diamond with small diamonds around it, which makes the pendant look bigger than its carat weight.
- Diamond anniversary band: A diamond anniversary band has a row of diamonds on the top of the band and it can be worn alone or with her wedding ring.
- Drop earrings: Diamond drop earrings move with her and give more sparkle for parties and dinners.
Diamond Christmas Gifts from $2,500 to $5,000
The diamond Christmas gifts from $2,500 to $5,000 are for milestone Christmases and special years:
- Diamond tennis bracelet: A diamond tennis bracelet has a line of diamonds all around the wrist. With lab grown diamonds, a 3 to 5 carat tennis bracelet can come within this budget. You can read our tennis bracelet gift guide to choose the right one.
- Bigger diamond studs (1.50 to 2.00 carat total weight): Bigger diamond studs are a good upgrade if she already has a small pair.
- Half or full eternity band: An eternity band has diamonds around half or the full band and is a symbol of never ending love.
Diamond Christmas Gifts from $5,000 and Above
The diamond Christmas gifts from $5,000 and above are statement pieces which can also be passed down in the family. A natural diamond tennis bracelet is regarded as a classic heirloom gift because natural diamonds are rare. The tennis necklace is another statement gift which has a line of diamonds all around the neck, and it is a perfect pick for New Year's Eve parties! You can also choose diamond studs above 2 carats total weight for a bold look, or go for custom diamond jewelry which is designed from scratch as per her style and the story of your relationship.
The budgets in this blog should not be confused with fixed prices. The final price of any diamond gift depends on the diamond type, which is lab grown or natural, along with the carat weight, quality and the metal. Share your budget with SMC Diamonds and we will show you the diamond gift options within your budget.
Diamond Gifts for Wife vs Girlfriend
Diamond gifts for a wife and diamond gifts for a girlfriend are a little different from each other. Find out more about the difference between diamond gifts for wife vs girlfriend here:
For your wife, a ring like an eternity band or an anniversary band can be stacked with her wedding ring, but for your girlfriend you should skip the ring if you are not planning to propose. In earrings, a bigger pair of diamond studs is an upgrade for your wife while the first pair of diamond studs is a lovely gift for your girlfriend. In necklaces, a halo pendant or tennis necklace suits a wife and a solitaire or initial pendant suits a girlfriend. If you are buying bracelets, the tennis bracelet is meant for a milestone year with your wife and a thin diamond bracelet is the better choice for your girlfriend.
How to Make the Diamond Gift Personal?
A personal touch can make the diamond Christmas gift more special. You can engrave the date you met, your first trip together or a special word on the jewelry. You can also add a birthstone next to the diamond for her birth month. With custom jewelry, you can choose every detail and see a 3D design before the jewelry is made, and you can ask for changes till the design is perfect!
