Diamond is the hardest gemstone on the Mohs scale, making it resistant to impact and scratches. It is therefore a gemstone that can be worn daily, on a ring or pendant for example, without fear of damaging it. Diamond also withstands the test of time; thus, it symbolizes eternity.

Giving a diamond has many meanings. Generally, a diamond is given to a loved one to show commitment. Thus, a diamond set in an engagement ring or a wedding band symbolizes the eternal and indestructible bond uniting the couple. It is a symbol of eternal love and a pledge of fidelity.

As diamond is a gemstone highly resistant to time, diamond jewelry is passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, a diamond can also be given to one's descendants. The diamond then takes on sentimental and heritage value.

Finally, a diamond can also have a protective meaning. Indian warriors indeed wore this gemstone thousands of years before our era to protect themselves from death and evil forces. In the Middle Ages, diamond was considered an antidote, with the power to absorb negative energies.

When is the best time to give a diamond?

The best time to give a diamond is on the occasion of an engagement or a wedding. The timeless engagement ring, the one that has transcended eras and will always please a woman, is the ring adorned with a solitaire diamond. This piece of jewelry symbolizes commitment and the promise of eternal love. Typically, one chooses a yellow gold ring with a solitaire diamond, but many variations exist, including with pink or black diamonds, rose or white gold, or even platinum.

On the occasion of a wedding, wedding bands adorned with a solitaire diamond or paved with diamonds are often chosen to seal the couple's union and pledge eternal love and fidelity.

A diamond can also be given to celebrate a wedding anniversary, especially the 60th anniversary which symbolizes the diamond anniversary. The jewelry given can be a diamond ring, a pendant, or even earrings. But you don't need to wait for the diamond anniversary; it is possible to give a diamond on any wedding anniversary!

A diamond can also be given on a birthday or Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day, the lovers' holiday, is the perfect opportunity to give a diamond piece of jewelry to your beloved and celebrate your love by renewing your commitment. Finally, some men give a diamond to their wife or mother on International Women's Day.

Which diamond to give?

You want to give a diamond to your beloved but don't know which model to choose? Generally, men opt for diamond jewelry. The most classic is often the best: a gold or platinum ring topped with a solitaire or paved with diamonds. But you can also choose more original models with colored diamonds (pink or black) or even a rose gold or white gold ring, which deviate from the very classic yellow gold.

If you wish to give a loose diamond, not set in jewelry, to your descendants, the best is to visit a diamond dealer to benefit from professional advice. It is advisable to buy a diamond certified by an internationally renowned gemmological laboratory, such as GIA, to avoid scams. If your budget is tight, there is no need to fixate on the most perfect diamond possible: you can opt for a diamond with some inclusions if they are not visible to the naked eye! The important thing is that you fall in love with it.
