Giving that special girl on your list a diamond ring for the holidays? Diamonds are a perfect gift for any girl but, with all of the choices, choosing the perfect ring can be a challenge. We’ve taken some of the burden out of your gift selection this year by narrowing down your choices! To make your shopping easier, we’ve chosen the top diamond ring based on the age of your loved one. Here are our top five picks:
1. Young Girls
Children grow quickly and so do their fingers. What fits this month may not fit several months from now. For this reason, we are opting for an adjustable ring as our top choice for young girls. Adjustable rings are typically sized at a 4 and can be adjusted from sized two to seven. We love the look of sterling silver on a girl and a star featuring a tiny, sparkling diamond is the perfect gift for a little finger.
2. Teenagers
Teenagers have a definite sense of style and their taste can range from ultra modern to classically vintage. Because it can be difficult to pick out a perfect diamond ring for a teenager, our top choice is a gem stone ring set off by beautifully radiant diamonds. A square cut gemstone nestled in between channel set diamonds in a band of rose colored gold is tasteful, yet modern enough to be appreciated by any teenage girl.
3. Young Adults
For young women, think antique. Antique rings are hugely popular and remain in style no matter the current trend. A beautifully styled, antique band ring will look tasteful at work and not get in the way of play. Choose many small diamonds in bezel settings rather than one large center stone. Openwork band designs are gorgeous and lend size to the ring without adding bulk. This type of ring can also be worn on either hand without being confused for an engagement ring!
4. Women
What do women love? Chocolate and diamonds; so combine them! The latest color trend in diamonds is quickly gaining popularity among women. Chocolate diamonds are absolutely gorgeous and the lady in your life will be duly impressed when she opens her gift box to see a sparkling ring nestled inside. The cushion cut highlights the chocolate diamond beautifully, and when set between channel set white diamonds the chocolate stone becomes even more radiant. You’ll make her the envy of all her friends with your gift!
Nothing compliments a mature woman’s fashion more perfectly than a lovely diamond filigree ring. Our top choice for this age group is a white gold, filigree ring highlighted with diamonds, sure to bring sparkle and joy to your recipient’s finger and a twinkle to her eye. Filigree rings are a classic design perfect for spouses, grandmas or special friends.
Having trouble choosing just one? Here’s one last great tip for you: look at the jewelry she already owns. Pay attention to the style of the band and the cut of the gemstones. Chances are she’s wearing her favorites! By picking styles that are similar, you’ll not only be playing it safe but you’re almost sure to choose something she’ll treasure.
