Diamond for Valentine's Day

The interest in diamond purchases peak every year in the January/February period because of Valentine's Day. Interestingly, many people think that it will be a very romantic thing to propose on Valentine's Day or even to just gift a diamond to that precious someone.

The power of the tagline "A Diamond is Forever" has seen it entrench the notion of diamonds as the perfect gift for the deserving lady. The sight of a little ring box is enough to send many tender hearts a fluttering regardless of the size of the ring inside.

For the uninitiated, do not worry too much about getting the perfect diamond for your other half. Just get a rough feel of what sort of diamond quality you are comfortable with by browsing through the options available before committing. Do the legwork by visiting the major jewellery stores such as Lee Hwa Jewellery, Tian Po, Soo Kee, Tiffany & Co, Cartier and look at the jewellery ranges available.

There is always a diamond to suit every need. The top of the range designer diamond jewellery from Tiffany & Co or Cartier, the mid range diamond jewellery from Lee Hwa, Tian Po and Soo Kee, to even the very very affordable options from Taka Jewellery. Be it a Destinee, Hearts on Fire or Lazare, choose within your budget something that is of quality, value for money. Whatever you proffer eventually, the appreciative will accept it with much gladness.

Just remember to read up on the various Cs of diamond buying prior to presenting your gift so that you can showcase something more than the mesmerising fire of the diamond; your willingness to do the necessary research to find the best gift available. The excitement of receiving a piece of diamond jewellery will fade very fast but the knowledge that you have made effort to choose a good gift will boost the value of the present significantly.

Always keep one thing in mind, while "a diamond is forever", diamond jewellery is for showing off to girl friends. Make sure the recipient of your gift is able to hold her head high and compare her diamond proudly to whatever her friends have. What you cannot afford in carat size can be offset by getting better clarity, cut, colour.
