How To Choose A Diamond Gift She Will Love

The best diamond gift fits the way she already dresses, so start with what she wears most. If she reaches for earrings, diamond studs are the safest choice: a classic basket pair, oval or pear-shaped studs, or a flower stud for something softer, with mixed-shape drop earrings when she likes movement. For necklaces, a single pendant such as an emerald-cut or round solitaire works every day, while a tennis necklace marks a bigger occasion. Bracelets are an easy gift because the fit is forgiving: tennis bracelets run from slim everyday lines to 7, 9 and 10 carat statements, and a studded bangle stacks easily beside a watch. Rings take a little more planning, so choose one only if you know her size. An eternity band is the classic anniversary gift, and sculptural designs like a pavé swirl, a marquise wave or a cluster ring suit someone who already owns the basics. For something unexpected, the canary designs pair yellow and white diamonds. Every diamond here is lab-grown, and the edit spans solid gold, platinum, sterling silver and gold vermeil, so check the metal on each piece. Prices start at $500.
