THE SHAPE & SETTING
Diamonds come in many shapes and settings. Would she like a round diamond, a marquise cut or oval, a princess cut or emerald, pear or heart; there are many choices available to you to find just diamond jewelry she wants. When your're out shopping,linger by jewelry counters long enough to let her look but not long enough to arouse suspicion. You may be rewarded with hints of preference that will help you. Take into consideration size and shape of her hands. This will have a bearing on how ring looks on her. For instance large rings sometimes overwhelm small hands. Try to think proportionately.
THE OCCASION
What is occasion? Is it a Christmas or Holiday gift? A birthday bauble? Anniversary? Engagement? Whatever occasion, know that she'll look upon this gift as something special, a gift of love and endearment. Choose wisely!
SHOPPING FOR DIAMOND JEWELRY
Choosing where you buy a diamond has never been easier. Besides plethora of diamond retailers in your very neighborhood, internet has made diamond shopping incredibly convenient. Most of major jewelers have an online presence, and often this will get you more stone for money, as they have little or no overhead online. Most offer guarantees and return privileges, and buying online is in my view very much safer than handing my credit card to an eighteen year old with a spending problem. Also, as you know if you're reading this, information is readily available online, and suspect at times offline. A website is not on commission or limited so mcuh by inventory as a commissioned salesperson might be.
Do some discreet research, gather your data, go online and find rock of her dreams! Make this a Diamond Christmas!
