The Best Diamond Jewelry Gift Ideas for the Holiday Season

The season of giving is upon us. It’s also the season of sparkle—and we’re not just talking about the lights on the Christmas tree. 

If you’re looking to make the holidays shine even brighter this year, you can’t go wrong with a classic gift of diamonds. From timeless diamond stud earrings to glimmering diamond pendants, there are near-endless ways to show your love, admiration, gratitude, and appreciation this season by putting diamond jewelry under the tree. 

All of which begs the question: Which type of diamond jewelry is right for your partner, mother, daughter, friend, or other loved one? Read on for a closer look at some of our favorite diamond jewelry gift ideas.

Diamond earrings

​Diamond earrings are the embodiment of casual chic. No longer relegated to special occasions, they’re also incredibly versatile—equally at home with formal attire and stilettos as they are with denim and flats.    

But all diamond earrings aren’t created equally. Here are a few popular styles:

Diamond stud earrings

The jewelry equivalent of the little black dress, diamond stud earrings are subtle yet striking. Available in solitaire designs showcasing round-cut, princess-cut, emerald-cut, and other shapes to more ornate cluster and halo styles, nothing polishes any look more than the perfect pair of sparkly studs. 

Because of their versatility, diamond stud earrings also make excellent gifts. 

Diamond drop earrings

Looking for something a little more dramatic? Diamond drop earrings deliver. A twist on the classic stud but slightly bolder, these dazzling danglers are beloved among celebrities like Kirstin Davis, Angelina Jolie, and Jennifer Lopez. 

From subtle white gold to eye-catching yellow gold to flattering rose gold, in styles ranging from simple solitaires to halo designs, diamond drop earrings are guaranteed to be a haute hit on Christmas morning. 

Diamond hoop earrings

When it comes to making a statement, diamond hoop earrings are the way to go. Bold, fashionable, and expressive, hoops are a wonderful choice for fearless fashionistas. 

Tennis bracelets

Also known as eternity bracelets, tennis bracelets feature a line of symmetrical diamonds connected by a metal chain. Named after Chris Evert famously sported her soon-to-be-signature diamond and gold tennis bracelet at the 1978 U.S. Open, tennis bracelets quickly became a symbol of effortless elegance. 

Beloved by the likes of everyone from Serena Williams to Meghan Markle, tennis bracelets are as popular today as they were then. And not just with women, either. The likes of Lenny Kravitz and Brooklyn Beckham. 

One of the hottest jewelry trends of the moment involves stacking and layering tennis bracelets making one the perfect gift for the woman who has everything. You can never have too many!

Diamond necklaces 

Is there anything more beautiful than the glint of diamonds gracing a woman’s graceful neck, décolletage, and collarbone? 

From classic solitaire style diamond pendants and bezel-set station necklaces to diamond bar necklaces and diamond lariat tennis necklaces, there are a dazzling array of diamond necklace options. 

Depending on the style and taste of the recipient, there’s a diamond necklace guaranteed to delight her. 

Diamond eternity rings

What’s better than one diamond? A radiant ring of diamonds. Enter diamond eternity rings. From classic styles featuring round-cut diamonds to more contemporary styles showcasing Asscher-cut sparklers, diamond eternity rings are not only stunning, but also uniquely meaningful. 

Often (but not always) given as a gift to commemorate a special occasion like an anniversary or other milestone, they symbolize ongoing commitment and love. This isn’t to say a diamond eternity ring can’t be gifted “just because.” In fact, that just might make it even more special.
