You want to mark those special moments in your teenage girl’s life with something unforgettable that will last forever. If it’s a milestone birthday, a graduation ceremony, or any other noteworthy event, diamond jewelry is perfect for any occasion that calls for something extra. She’ll be happy to wear this gift long afterward.
Special birthdays call for a diamond and birthstone combination necklace. Modern birthstones are garnet for January, amethyst for February, aquamarine for March, diamond for April, emerald for May, alexandrite for June, ruby for July, peridot for August, sapphire for September, opal for October, topaz for November, and tanzanite or zircon for December. When choosing a combination birthstone and diamond necklace, look for complimentary shapes and faceting on the stones. Many smaller diamonds will often surround the larger, colored birthstone.
Middle school or high school graduation calls for a diamond necklace, diamond earrings, or a matching set. You can choose from many diamonds for extra sparkle, or just a few in a truly beautiful setting.
A wonderful gift is a necklace with a pendant of the year she graduated made up of diamonds, or perhaps her initials in diamonds. A more timeless gift she’ll wear again and again might be a simple gold or silver metal heart with a colored stone surrounded by diamonds.
Earrings could be simple enough for everyday wear, or they could be more intricate with more stones for special occasions in the future. Diamond studs will never go out of style, and they can be shaped in a variety of ways. An elegant pair of diamond drop earrings elevates any occasion to special.
Diamond hoop earrings are also quite popular and affordable, because you need to set the diamonds in only half of the metal, thus reducing the number of stones needed. Your young girl will love the sparkle and shimmer of any of these diamond earrings.
It’s hard to keep track of the number and styles of necklaces a young girl already has in her jewelry box, so it might be simpler to shop for diamond bracelets. Charm bracelets are always popular for teenagers, and you can choose her birthstone complimented by diamonds for her birthday, or any colored stone combined with diamonds for any other occasion.
Bi-colored metals add a very special touch to a diamond bracelet, making it stand out without adding significant cost. Diamond bangles are popular for something different, and are easy to wear. The traditional tennis bracelet is typically a line of diamonds set in a simple metal setting, with the diamonds making all the impact.
A watch is always a practical gift for an older teenager, but it doesn’t have to be plain. There are hundreds of watches studded with diamonds to choose from, and make keeping track of the time seem less of a chore. This is a piece of jewelry she’ll wear on a daily basis, reminding her of your love at all times.
A truly unique and thoughtful set of gifts for a young girl could be a series of diamond jewelry. Start out on her fifteenth birthday with a simple set of earrings. For the sweet sixteen, choose a matching bracelet to compliment the diamond earrings you gave her last year. On her seventeenth birthday, a diamond necklace that matches the earrings and bracelet make it an ensemble. And finally, for the eighteenth birthday, a watch studded with diamonds will send your girl out into the world in elegant style. She’ll feel more and more special each time she opens that jewelry box.
You want this gift to last a lifetime, so make sure you choose classic looks and timeless touches. The clasp must be sturdy, and if you choose a diamond or combination diamond and other stone pendant, the chain must be heavy enough to withstand the weight.
Look for high-quality metals that won’t tarnish or lose their luster over time. Gold, white gold, and silver all have advantages and disadvantages. Gold shines on its own and sets the necklace or earrings off with its color, making the piece seem extraordinary. White gold has a softer luster than true silver, but both metals go with almost any outfit and allow other stones set with the diamonds to take center stage. Platinum is popular for settings, too, because its whiteness compliments a diamond’s sparkle rather than affecting the hue of a pure, white diamond.
Round cut or princess cut diamonds are very popular right now because they show off the facets so well. When shopping for diamonds for a teenager, you can compliment her personality by choosing a certain diamond cut. You can find princess cut, round, oval, heart shaped, and many others. Each shape has its own personality, just like your girl. Most teenagers will just simply love wearing these precious stones!
