Diamonds are forever and these 5 classic diamond jewelry pieces will never go out of style:

Ring: Everyone has a bright shiny rock on their ring finger. But I am not talking about investing in a wedding or engagement ring. Express your personal style with a cocktail ring or stacking rings. These bold statement rings add a wow factor to any outfit. You can even pair your stacking rings with other complementing rings you already own.

Studs: Diamond studs are a must-have and a girl’s best friend, they are an epitome of elegance and have the right amount of sparkle to make them stand out. From day to night, work to dinner or even special occasions, you can always bank on them to make you look stunning. Studs are my go-to earrings and I love how they make me look polished and sophisticated instantly.

Tennis Bracelet: A tennis bracelet is a simple line of symmetrical diamonds. This bracelet has an iconic moment in fashion and sports history. The name was inherited from Chris Evert who lost her bracelet during the US Open and paused the play to find it. After all you can’t lose a diamond chasing glitter. It’s no fuss design is what makes it a staple piece in your jewelry wardrobe.

Pendant: Invest in a go with everything necklace by going for an elegant pendant. You can opt for a heart, pear or star-shaped pendant for an elegant look. You can always match it with your studs or tennis bracelet to add some more sparkle to your look. You can also layer this pendant with another style in your wardrobe. However you decide to style, a diamond pendant is an essential for every woman.

Chandelier Earrings: There are days when you just want to shine brighter, bolder and louder. A pair of chandelier earrings can make you feel like you are ready to walk the red carpet. Chandelier earrings are perfect for evenings and special occasions. You can pair them with your favorite gown or even a lehenga, the choices are endless. When wearing such statement earrings I prefer to style my hair in a bun or side-swept waves.

And diamonds are forever, you can also pass them on as an heirloom with a significant sentimental value attached to it. So which piece are you investing in next? Let me know in the comments below.

Tru Diamonds – The Cosmopolitan Woman’s New Best Friends

We’ve all grown up hearing (and possibly believing) that diamonds are a girl’s best friends. But recently, I came across jewellery by Tru-Diamonds and was forced to reconsider this widely-held belief.

So let me introduce you to the philosophy that guides this enterprise. Tru-Diamonds sells high- quality man-made gemstones that are so finely crafted, they are virtually indistinguishable from mined diamonds. In fact, these Swiss-made gems are produced under such stringent criteria with top-grade techniques that they are found to be superior to 96% of mined diamonds in terms of colour and clarity.

And let me tell you, this is not all hearsay. I’m the proud owner of a Tru-Diamonds 1 ct Tiffany Style Solitaire Ring myself. I have been wearing this ring for more than a week now, and not one person I have come across could imagine that it wasn’t a genuine solitaire piece. Seriously, I doubt even a certified jeweller would be able to tell the difference without a proper scrutiny of my gorgeous ring.

I’m now a firm believer that jewellery by Tru-Diamonds is a much better buy than that made of mined diamonds for several reasons. For one, their gems are ethically produced, so you are spared the guilt of sporting “blood diamonds”. Also, this jewellery is far more economical, though there is little difference in its appearance. I mean, think about it – my ring cost just about £149 while the equivalent product at Tiffany’s would drain me of over £10,000; isn’t Tru-Diamonds jewellery then a far better deal? I don’t have to worry about insurance to keep it safe or even worry too much about losing it. This is actually one of the reasons why such jewellery is becoming very popular amongst celebrities as well. I mean, who wants to hassle themselves with wearing exorbitantly-priced jewellery, only to worry about it getting lost or stolen?

But what I like about Tru-Diamonds even more is that they promise buyers a 90-Day trial period, 100% Refund, Lifetime Warranty and Easy Payment Options too. As someone who is spending money on a luxury purchase, you are completely protected, with absolutely nothing to worry about. What more can one ask for?

Frankly speaking, I’m quite taken in by the whole concept of Tru-Diamonds. I have been browsing through their range of jewellery which has a lot of classic as well as trendy pieces that I can totally see myself wearing. I’ve already zeroed in on my next purchase too! And why not? This jewellery is great for personal usage as well as gifting, and the availability in standard UK sizes makes it convenient to order online too. If you are on a budget this is a great alternative engagement ring saving you lot of money towards the deposit of your first home or that dream wedding

So what do you think? Would you go in for this ethically produced “super-gem” jewellery? I know I would.

What To Think About When Buying Your First Diamond Ring

The word around town is that “diamonds are a girl’s best friend” and I am in complete agreement. Of course, this best friend does not come easy or cheap. After years of slaving away at work and saving up for your first big diamond purchase, it is only fair that you invest an equal amount of time into researching and thinking about the ring that you want to buy.

For starters, focus on the cut of your diamond. Even the highest quality of stone can look lackluster if it is not cut in a way that brings out its beauty. Spend time looking for a diamond that is cut so that it sparkles brilliantly. Get the help of an expert to find the right cut and grade of diamond to suit your budget and your dream ring.

When I was on the hunt for the perfect diamond for my first ring (a treat to myself after two years of working), I realized that the price of diamonds function increases tremendously at the half-carat and carat points. For example, a diamond of 0.9-carat will be significantly cheaper than a 1-carat diamond and the difference is not really visible to the naked eye. Think about sizing down, ladies!

Since this is your first ring and you want it to last you a lifetime, think about a shape that will help you stand out from the crowd today and tomorrow. Plus, the common round shape tends to be more expensive that others because of its popularity so opting for an alternate shape will actually reduce the cost as well. I really love oval and teardrop shaped diamonds and personally feel that they also look larger than the traditional round ones. You could also think about setting many smaller diamonds together in a beautiful pattern rather than using one large stone.

Finally, when it comes to setting your diamond on to the ring, remember that the pronged setting uses less metal and thus lowers your cost of making the ring and helps the diamond stand out as well. Win-win.

Shine on, ladies!
