Diamond Christmas Gifts: Studs, Tennis Bracelets and Loose Stones

Diamond studs if you want the safest choice, a tennis bracelet if you want something she'll notice on her wrist every day.

Studs suit everyone and need nothing measured. Choose a round for a classic look, or an oval or pear for something a little different. The pair's carat weight is shared between the two earrings, so a 1 carat pair is two half-carat diamonds.

A tennis bracelet is the bigger gesture: a continuous line of diamonds made to the length you order. Every bracelet is made to order, so order it by the date at the top of this page.

Studs work for all four; a tennis bracelet is the classic gift for a wife or a mother on a big year.

For your wife, a tennis bracelet in the gold she already wears, or a larger pair of studs than the ones she has.

For your girlfriend, studs: a diamond gift that is clearly not a ring, so it never reads as a proposal.

For your mom, studs in the gold she wears most, sized to suit her everyday style.

For your daughter, a small pair of lab-grown studs with push backs, easy to wear every day.

Measure a bracelet she already wears, end to end, clasp included, and order that length.

If she has no bracelet to borrow, measure her wrist instead and add half an inch to an inch, the usual rule. A 7 inch bracelet fits a 6.5 inch wrist closely. Our bracelets come in half-inch steps from 6 to 8.5 inches.

The 14 days start when the parcel is delivered, not when the gift is opened. If you order early, check the piece when it arrives, and start any return within those 14 days.

Choose diamond studs marked ready to ship, or give a certified loose diamond, which can be set later by a jeweler of your choosing.

Studs marked ready to ship leave within one to two business days. A loose diamond comes with its grading report, and many ship in one to two business days too; each stone's page shows when it should arrive.
