Gifting Diamonds
|
|
|
When selecting a gift of diamond jewelry, loose diamonds, watches or jewelry featuring
colored stones, it is important to understand what features are important.
Working with a professional diamond jeweler can simplify the process and
enable you to find pieces of the highest
quality and greatest value for your gift.

Giving diamonds as a gift
|
 |
Hands down, in any form, diamonds make a stunning gift.
Whether you prefer to create a custom, original piece by matching loose diamonds
with an exquisite setting or seek a ready-made design, knowing the fundamentals
of diamond rating and quality is a must.
Before considering any gem or finished piece, always make sure you are looking at
certified diamonds. The certification
process involves a rating performed by independent laboratories.
This is a more accurate and less subjective process than ratings performed
by an assessor. It is your assurance
of a stone’s quality and value. Always
ask your diamond jeweler for certification information before making a purchase.
It is also important to understand the 4 C’s of rating diamonds – color, cut, clarity
and karat. The “C’s” define four categories
by which a gem’s quality is measured.
By using them as criteria for your gift purchase, you are best able to match the
highest quality diamonds or diamond jewelry with your budget.
For more information on rating diamonds, see our diamond education page.

Tips for buying a watch
|
 |
Watches are a great gift choice for so many occasions – anniversaries, promotions
or birthdays, for example. Because
they are available in so many styles or suitable for a specific purpose, watches
can make a wonderfully personalized
gift.
When selecting a watch, consider where and when it will be used.
Look for durability and quality construction for everyday or sports watches. For more elegant designs, such as those
featuring diamonds, considering the gem quality as well as workmanship.
No matter what style you choose, fit is an important consideration.
Since it is difficult to determine fit in a gift watch without the wearer
being present, look for adjustable bands or confirm your diamond jeweler can make
remove links from metal bands if necessary.

Selecting colored stones for gift giving
|
 |
Colored stones make vibrant, exciting gift choices.
Available as precious or semi-precious gems, colored stones are suitable
for any occasion, taste or budget.
Precious colored gems include colored diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires. Semiprecious gems range in color from
shades of black, red, pink, green, yellow, and blue.
These are a great gift choice as they reflect individual style and flair.
