Women and Their Diamonds


My favorite jewelry pieces are: a wide eternity wedding band filled with diamonds, a heart -shaped diamond pendant, a large ring filled with pearls & diamonds, a tennis bracelet and a pair of princess-cut diamond earrings! Each one of these treasures was a gift from the love of my life - my husband of almost 40 years.

As I evaluate why this diamond jewelry is so precious to me, I discover that it goes far deeper than the beauty of these pieces or the cost. However, the beauty is definitely something to consider. Diamonds are beautiful! Beauty inspires.

Beauty excites. Beauty motivates. Beauty arouses the senses. Diamonds are not particularly useful other than beautiful adornments; thus, the cost of diamond jewelry is a consideration to seriously take into account.

As you know, diamonds can be expensive. Each piece of diamond jewelry, that I own, represents a huge sacrifice from my lover just so he could delight me. He takes great pleasure in bringing me joy.

When trying to determine why diamonds mean so much to most girls, ladies, women, I can't help but think that it has to do with "attaching worth" from the lover to his beloved. When worn, diamonds are symbols that shout, "I am loved. I am treasured. I am precious.

I have value." Diamonds make the beloved feel like a princess. Of course each person is of great worth - as a unique creation of God. Sometimes, however, it's just nice to be reminded of how special we are! Diamonds are classic and elegant and are not worn carelessly.

Diamonds adorn the deeply loved one and are positioned for the greatest dramatization when getting dressed. The sparkle and luster of diamonds are dazzling, stunning and difficult to not notice - which is the point.

The beloved (whether she's a daughter, granddaughter, girlfriend, wife or mom) wants everyone to know that she is highly esteemed.

Purchasing diamond jewelry is not for the faint of heart. Because it represents a sizeable investment (not only of money, but it generally signifies a dedication of time to his beloved), he researches the 5Cs of diamonds: carat, color, clarity, cut and cost.

He imagines how the shape of the diamond(s) will look on her. So many choices: round, asscher, cushion (or pillow), emerald, heart, marquise, oval, pear, princess, radiant. What kind of jewelry should he give? Should he choose a ring, bracelet, watch, brooch, earrings or necklace? Which would she enjoy more? What setting would be best? Yellow gold, white gold or platinum? The Journey jewelry is very popular right now.

The diamonds are set in graduated sizes, expressing the progress of the relationship along with the twists and turns in the meandering journey of love. How romantic is that?

When considering the purchase of a diamond necklace or pendant for your loved one...or for yourself, you will want to take into account the length that will be most appealing. The most common are: collar length, (12"-13"), choker length (14"-16"), the princess length (17"-19"), the matinee length (20"-24"), the opera length (28"-34") or the rope or lariat length (38"-40").

There is no greater pleasure in life than to love and be loved in return. While diamonds are just things, a diamond represents a timeless treasure - one that can be passed from one generation to the next with the greatest gift of love.

A diamond exemplifies value - a commitment to appreciate in worth. A diamond is cherished for its eternal beauty. When you consider a gift for the one you love, first give of yourself, then give a diamond to represent your undying adoration.
