10 Occasions That Warrant Buying Diamonds

You might associate buying diamonds with very specific events (like engagements), but this precious stone is suitable for all sorts of occasions. If you want to mark the accomplishments of someone you love and show them how much you care, a special piece of diamond jewelry could be the perfect gift.

Remember, you don’t just have to buy rings. Diamonds come in multiple forms - and they’re invariably stunning, set in rings, necklaces, bracelets, watches, and earrings.

Engagement

Engagement is the quintessential diamond-buying opportunity, so we couldn’t omit it from this list. The average person spends around $5,500 on rings for their beloved, while around a quarter spends between $1,000 and $3,000. 

Weddings

Diamonds weren’t always associated with weddings. But successful marketing by the De Beers corporation made the connection strong during the middle of the 20th century. “Diamonds are forever” became the brand’s mantra and dovetailed perfectly with the “‘till death do us part” aspect of marriage. 

Anniversaries

Anniversaries are yet another occasion that warrants buying diamonds. It’s an opportunity to show somebody you love that they’re important to you. You could buy them a ring, but there are plenty of other diamond jewelry types to choose from, including bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and brooches. 

Christmas

Diamonds are also the perfect tool for spreading a little Christmas cheer. Instead of buying socks or cans of deodorant, you can surprise somebody you love with something completely unexpected: a real diamond. 

Birthdays

Birthdays are another occasion that fully warrants buying diamonds. Typically, people buy diamonds for major milestones, such as an eighteenth, twenty-first, thirtieth, fortieth, sixtieth, or eightieth birthday, but there are no hard-and-fast rules here. 

Valentine's Day

Nothing tells somebody you’re passionate about them more than a diamond. You don’t necessarily have to buy a ring and propose. Diamonds are a symbol of your everlasting love and commitment. What better gift could you give your Valentine?

Graduation

Graduation from a college, university, or other school is a once-in-a-lifetime occasion. For that reason, it’s worth marking it with something equally special. Diamonds are the most precious of all gemstones and the perfect complement for the occasion. A piece of diamond jewelry could be the perfect way to celebrate the occasion, especially a watch.

Promotion

Promotions are an opportunity to celebrate. But instead of ordering take-out pizza or going to a bar for a few drinks, why not do something special and treat yourself (or the recently-promoted person you know) to a diamond? Diamonds are the ultimate symbol of material success. Wearing a big rock is a sign that you’ve made it. Because, let’s face it, if you just got promoted, you have. 

Big Achievement

As we go through life, many of us achieve big things. It could be sailing around the world, launching a successful business, writing a book, or becoming recognized as an expert in our field. Whatever the accomplishment, it is well worth celebrating. And what better way to do it than with a piece of diamond jewelry? 

To Say "I Love You"

Diamonds are the ultimate way to say “I love you.” Not only are they rare and precious, but they also require a significant financial commitment. Buy the object of your love diamond jewelry and you’ll leave them in no doubt about how you feel. 

No matter the occasion, a diamond is a beautiful gift and way to convey your love and support for someone you love. Or yourself!
