What Does Your Diamond Mean?
When shopping for the perfect piece of diamond jewelry, there’s more to consider than just the color and clarity; shape is extremely important, and not for just aesthetic reasons. Each cut has an individual meaning:
~ Round: Women drawn to this shape are traditional, honest, faithful and somewhat conservative.
~ Pear: She is an individual, yet still has a soft side for traditional romance.
~ Oval: Similar to the round cut, but shows creativity and individuality. Woman drawn to this shape are stable and faithful, and often desire fertility and children.
~ Cushion: This cut represents intimacy and romance, and an eye for the unusual.
~ Emerald: Old-fashioned, yet she exudes elegance and coolness. The open style of this cut also symbolizes an open heart and personal clarity.
~ Heart: A symbol of pure romanticism that borders on fantasy. It may detract from the stableness of a steady romance or marriage.
~ Marquise: This flashy shape suggests a desire for opulence and glitter. It may indicate a superficial attitude toward wealth or a desire for extravagance.
~ Radiant: Women who choose this style are usually flirty and trendy.
~ Princess: A woman who wears a princess cut demands attention, and is willing to take risks and be a leader.
~ Asscher: Symbolizes a desire for drama and vintage style. It also indicates clarity of person.
Perfect Pair
It seems like the only kind of earrings a lot of women are wearing are diamond earrings. Diamonds are beautiful, but since they are becoming more and more common, they aren’t as special, as say, pearl earrings. When shopping for an anniversary or Christmas gift for your wife, think about surprising her with beautiful, luminous pearl earrings.
Though we are used to seeing white pearls, pearls actually come in a variety of colors. Pearls can be found in pink, black and white. Choose the color of pearl depending on what you think your wife would like best.
