Diamond Earrings Gift Ideas

If you're looking for the perfect, classy gift for any female in your life, such as a sister, daughter, mother, spouse, or beloved friend, you can't go wrong with a pair of diamond earrings. No matter what size or style they are, diamond earrings will make a timeless present. 

Diamond earrings are appropriate gifts for almost any special event or occasion, including birthdays, holidays such as Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, anniversaries, graduations, bridal and baby showers, and any other milestone in life. Since they will most likely last forever, the diamond earrings will be an everyday reminder of the celebration. 

No matter what your gift-giving budget is, you'll be able to find a perfect pair of earrings in your price range. Diamond studs typically range from .25 carats to 2 carats, depending on the age of the recipient and what your wallet will allow. 

Another factor that will determine the price of the earrings is the type of metal they're set in. Consider both your finances and the recipient's preferred metal, such as yellow, rose, white or platinum gold, or sterling silver, prior to making the purchase. 

Here are some diamond earring gift ideas to get you started:

1. Stud Earrings 

Since stud earrings come in a variety of sizes, they work well for gift recipients of all ages. For a young girl who just got her ears pierced, choose the smallest size. For a more important present, such as for a milestone wedding anniversary, go with a larger pair. 

Single stone diamond stud earrings have a clean, sophisticated appearance. If your budget allows, round out the gift with a matching diamond ring, pendant, or tennis bracelet. 

2. Multi-Stone Earrings 

Although diamond earrings look stunning on their own, the addition of other colorful gemstones will create a customized look. As one idea, pick a heart-shaped pair of earrings featuring both diamonds and the celebrant's birthstone, such as opal for October, sapphire for December, or ruby for July. 

3. Drop-Style Earrings 

If the female prefers larger earrings, choose a drop-style pair for a bolder look. For instance, choose an elegant pair of chandelier earrings featuring multiple diamond stones, or a combination of diamonds and other gemstones. 

Other bigger earrings styles include dangle and hoops, both of which will sparkle no matter how many diamonds they feature. As a less expensive alternative, choose a pair that features both diamonds and semi-precious stones, including garnets and citrine.
