Diamond Gifts for Your Girlfriend (That Aren't a Ring)
Diamond studs are the gift for a girlfriend that can't be mistaken for a proposal: they need no ring size and are worn every day. A fine tennis bracelet is the bigger gesture. Both come in solid 14K or 18K gold, with lab-grown or natural diamonds and an independent lab report.
What's a Good Diamond Gift for a Girlfriend?
A pair of diamond studs: a real diamond gift that is clearly not a ring.
Choose a pair she'll wear every day: half a carat to one carat in total, in the gold she wears most. A round suits everyone; an oval or pear is a little more distinctive.
Studs She'll Wear Every Day
How Do I Pick Without Asking Her?
Look at what she already wears: the gold, the size of her earrings, whether she wears a bracelet.
If she wears small, simple earrings, choose a modest pair of studs. If she wears yellow gold, choose yellow. For a bracelet, borrow the length from one she already wears.
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.
Is a Tennis Bracelet Too Much for a Girlfriend?
Not as a lighter line: a fine bracelet of small diamonds reads delicate and everyday rather than formal.

Questions
Is a diamond gift too serious for a girlfriend?
Not studs: they are an everyday piece, not a statement about the future. A ring is the gift that carries that meaning.

Half a carat to one carat in total for the pair suits most people for everyday wear.
