Diamond Rings: When To Give This Important Gift
Shop Engagement Rings

About …

Diamond rings are very special gifts. Diamonds have unique qualities that lend them a special psychological significance—their hardness, clarity and longevity are seen as powerful symbols for everlasting love, clarity of spirit and uniqueness.

An Engagement

In modern culture, diamond rings have become synonymous with marriage and the giving of a diamond engagement ring is an integral part of the ritual of marriage. The choice of diamond, the cut, and the style of the ring are all important things to consider when looking for the perfect engagement ring and shouldn’t be glossed over.

 

An Anniversary

Although the 60th wedding anniversary is officially the ‘diamond’ year, most couples don’t wait that long to give the gift of diamonds. Many people give diamond rings as an anniversary gift long before their 60th year together.
A diamond ring is the perfect symbol of continued commitment and fidelity, and of the ability to navigate the difficulties of life and continuing to see the radiance within one another.

 

A ‘Push Present’

For those who don’t know, a ‘push present’ is a gift that’s given to the mother after the birth of a child.
It’s not always a diamond, but getting a ring where the number of diamonds corresponds to the number of people in the family unit is a special way of honouring and remembering the importance of family.

Celebrating an achievement

A diamond ring is the perfect gift for somebody who has achieved something great—completed their studies, starting a new job or taking a significant step forward in their life.  It’s an everlasting testament to their tenacity and strength of spirit.

If you’re looking for expert advice on that perfect gift then book an appointment, come on a guided tour of our state-of-the-art diamond cutting factory and visit our unique showroom— Choosing the right diamond ring for the right occasion can be a daunting task.
