Buying Diamond Rings as a surprise gift
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend! Take it from me, all women love diamond rings and never more so than we receive them as a surprise birthday, valentines or anniversary gift. Necklaces, earrings and bracelets are welcome but can’t beat that special feel of a diamond ring. So, you are considering buying a diamond ring as a gift. It can be difficult to know where to start but there are several things you need to consider. Firstly, what sort of jewellery does your wife/ partner or relative normally wear? Is it usually more traditional gold jewellery or contemporary white coloured jewellery, such as silver or platinum? If you don’t know, or if it is a mixture, why not consider platinum? Platinum is a modern, stylish metal that is more precious than gold. It is hardwearing and tarnish resistant, meaning it is an ideal choice to be made into a beautiful ring. Alternatively, consider white gold jewellery, which is more affordable than platinum. Secondly, what style does she prefer? For women that prefer simple, contemporary jewellery, the simplicity of solitaire diamond rings – a single diamond set in a band, will appeal.

However, there are many alternatives including diamond rings set with other gemstones, rings decorated with shoulder stones (stones along the “top” of the band), trilogy rings (with three diamonds) and eternity rings, which have small diamonds set into the entire band. Most are available in a range of different styles or settings. www.thebeautifulcompany.co.uk has an impressive range of diamond rings.Their collection is divided up into different styles, such as solitaire diamonds or eternity rings. Still stuck? Take a look at her other jewellery such as necklaces or bracelets, including costume or fashion jewellery. Is it ornate and delicate, or simple and more contemporary? Does she like handmade jewellery or designer jewellery? Does she prefer unusual jewellery? If you look online, you are likely to be able to find more unique jewellery than in the high street. You will need to find out what size ring to buy. Most jewellers will offer help with ring sizing by sending you a free sizing tool. Compare her other rings against this. Before you shop, carry out some research into diamonds. All diamonds are categorised by four key characteristics; cut, colour, carat and clarity. Cut relates to the different shape of the diamond. A square cut is more contemporary whilst a single round cut is traditional and beautiful. Colour refers to the colour of the diamond. Colourless are the most expensive. Carat is a commonly known term that refers to weight and clarity describes how visible the tiny, natural imperfections in a diamond are. You will want to buy the best jewellery you can afford. On-line jewellers are usually able to offer a greater range of diamond rings in terms of choice and budget than many high street stockists. Delivery is included and you will get a free returns period just in case she changes her mind. I’m pretty sure she won’t. Good luck!
