5 Reasons Why Diamonds Make Such Great Gifts

Finding the “perfect gift” can be an immobilizing prospect. After all, with so many potential options to choose from, how do you know you’re selecting something that will truly dazzle and delight? (This, after all, is the whole point of gift-giving.) 

One gift outshines the rest—both literally and figuratively—in the “dazzle and delight” department. We’re talking about diamonds, of course! 

There’s a reason why diamonds are a perennial pick on roundups of best gifts for birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, and other special occasions….as well as “just because.” Read on for five specific reasons to consider diamonds when selecting a gift for a loved one. 

1. They’re the Ultimate Indulgence

Diamonds are the quintessential expression of love, admiration, passion, and devotion. Even when you can’t say how you feel in words, a diamond says all of these things and more. 

Although we think buying a diamond for your personal collection is a wonderful act of self-love, diamonds may not be the first thing many people buy for themselves. As such, they can be an especially meaningful gift from someone else. 

And while many people think of diamonds as cost-prohibitive, there are many affordable options in tasteful smaller sizes. For example, glittering diamond stud earrings can be found at a price point of less than $300. 

2. You Can Never Have Too Many 

Is there such a thing as too many diamonds? Never! In fact, diamonds are an easy answer to the question, “What do you get for the woman who has everything?” 

Every diamond is unique, as is every piece of diamond jewelry. Available in a breathtaking array of sizes, colors, and cuts, diamonds are exquisite in many different styles of necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. 

Can’t find the exact diamond tennis bracelet, pendant necklace, or diamond engagement ring of your dreams? Customize the exact one you envision. 

Every piece of diamond jewelry is a welcome addition to any jewelry collection. 

3. They’re the Gift that Keeps on Giving

It’s not for nothing that the expression goes, “Diamonds are forever.” While many trends come and go, diamonds are timeless. They will never go out of style. This makes them more than a lifelong investment, but also one that will be cherished by future generations. 

A beautiful piece of diamond jewelry will be just as meaningful in 50 years—or even more so!—than it is today. This puts diamonds in the very rare and special category of gifts that stand the dual tests of time and taste.  

4. They’re Surprisingly Versatile and Practical 

Elegant and exquisite, diamonds are regarded as being among the finer things in life. However, this doesn’t mean the recipient will have to hide your gift away for only the most special of occasions. On the contrary, diamonds have become acceptable—and iconic!—for day-to-day wear. 

Take tennis bracelets and diamond stud earrings, for example. Go-tos for Hollywood A-listers, these wearable pieces are equally at home with jeans, a button-down shirt, and sneakers as they are with couture. Of course, some diamond jewelry is more appropriate for special occasions. And that’s just another thing to love about diamonds. You can select the exact-right piece of jewelry depending on each recipient’s personal preferences and lifestyle. 

Diamonds are also appropriate for women of all ages. For example, if you’re shopping for a tween, teen, or young woman, diamond studs, a tennis bracelet, or a diamond pendant necklace can help launch a collection while also acknowledging the passage of time. More sophisticated or extravagant diamond jewelry may be suitable for more mature tastes.  

5. They Can Be Kind–in More Ways Than One

While diamonds are associated with joy and happiness, the diamond industry has a difficult history steeped in violence and corruption. But this doesn't mean all diamonds are unethical. If you’re concerned about the ethics of buying a diamond, practicing due diligence can help you find "kind" diamonds that align with your core values.  There are things you can do as a consumer to buy a diamond you feel good about—such as seeking out socially and environmentally conscious options, such as lab created diamonds.  

At Ritani, these things are as important to us as they are to you, which is why we go above and beyond to ensure that all of our diamonds, settings and other jewelry are ethically sourced, including handcrafting all of our conflict-free engagement rings in the United States. When you gift someone with diamond jewelry from Ritani, you can do so with the peace of mind that comes with knowing you are doing your part for the planet and its people. 

Buying a gift for someone is an intimate experience that relies not only on practical factors like your relationship and budget, but also on less quantifiable factors like personal taste, meaning, and more. While getting it “just right” can take some deep thought, the end result is well worth it: a gift that will be appreciated and treasured for years to come.  Diamonds absolutely deliver in this department—especially when you choose a Ritani diamond.
