Jewelry is a very popular item for gift-giving and to express feelings toward another person. Giving the woman you love a diamond is one of the most amazing things you can do for her, regardless of the current design. When we decide to marry the one we love, we express this by giving her an engagement ring. It does not matter how large the diamond is or how much you paid for the ring, but the sentiment behind it and what it symbolizes. Because a ring is continuous, with no beginning or end, it symbolizes eternal, never-ending love.

Diamonds are not just for getting engaged!

Gentlemen: of course you should buy the love of your life a diamond engagement ring. Then you can invest in diamonds as gifts for various anniversaries; a lovely bracelet for the tenth anniversary, a special diamond pendant for the twenty-fifth anniversary, or a pair of earrings to mark any anniversary in between. Valentine’s Day, Christmas, and birthdays are prime diamond jewelry occasions, too.

If the two of you make it to your 60th wedding anniversary, that’s the Diamond Anniversary. That occasion deserves a huge celebration for so many reasons! The 25th anniversary is remembered with silver, the 50th with gold, and the 60th with diamonds. Truly, a gift of diamonds on the 60th anniversary symbolizes the indestructible power of love.

There’s a trend among Hollywood husbands to give diamond gifts to their wives upon the birth of their children. These gifts are termed “push gifts” for obvious reasons, and are more than the common bouquet of flowers and bunch of balloons.

Push gifts are actually an ancient tradition coming out of the time of sultans, who gifted their favorite wives extravagantly when they gave birth to sons. The idea has just started to catch on again in these modern times, and celebrities give push gifts with real style and extravagance, worthy of sultans.

Pierce Brosnan gave his wife Keely three lovely bracelets when their son Paris was born, all three gold and diamonds, to symbolize each member of the family.

This trend coming out of Hollywood husbands is catching on with regular people, as well. Many designers now offer a very nice “celebration” ring for new moms, with pink sapphires and white diamonds for celebrating a girl, and blue sapphires and white diamonds for celebrating a boy.

A sweet present from Dad to Mom is a diamond-studded baby bootie pendant. The diamond pendant can be worn on a fine chain around the neck, or used as a charm on a bracelet.

These diamond gifts don’t need to be extravagant or costly; the purpose is to mark those special occasions, and acknowledge how much you really appreciate your wife putting up with you for all those years.
