What should a girl's first diamond be?

[purly]

I've never bought myself a diamond before, but I'm starting to think maybe it's time to treat myself. Obviously a ring is out (save that for the boy of my dreams), but I can't really decide on what I should get? A pair of studs? A necklace? Should it be fashionable?

I was thinking something understated so I could wear it everyday (why wouldn't you want to show it off).

What do you all think?

How about a pendant?

diamond studs would be my choice. they are a classic that you can dress up or down. jeans or a cocktail dress. timeless!!!


good luck

Diamond studs!! Or a pair of diamond cluster earrings...I LOVE mine!!!

studs!! Staple to any jewelry box. My family's jeweler is coming this year to US on business, and one of the things I was going to request was some good ole diamond studs.

It depends on what you like. If you're a necklace girl, get a solitaire. More of an earrings girl? Get studs.

I have both (along with my diamond wedding band) and I wear them all the time, but more so the solitaire necklace because I'm really a big necklace person.

Studs are nice. I bought studs after getting my first real job.

I personally get much more use out of necklaces than earrings, but that's because of my personal habits, so it probably depends on your style & tastes. I'd get either a solitaire or something else that is simple. My brothers and I recently got my mom a diamond pendant like the one below. The metal is much less prominant than in the picture and a nice size. So I think there are lots of options out there

I agree with diamond studs

 

[JoeyJo21]

I'd go for diamond studs because you can wear them anything.

Sounds like studs are the popular vote. I think I'll get some studs. They seem more practical for a beginner.

Thanks!

Buttery, funny you say that because I sort of consider this my first real job.

I think I diamond cross is a great idea. I wear mine all the time. I also have the rose pendant from Tiffany's that I wear quite often. Here's a pic of it.

Diamond studs or a one diamond pendant are very stylish for any age. Save up and get really, really good-quality diamonds so you'll be proud to wear them for a long time.

My first diamonds were technically the studs that were bought for me when I got my ears pierced at the age of 3. This past summer, my grandmother went all-out generous and gifted me with a small pavé heart, and I think it's wonderful for someone my age. It's small enough that it's appropriate for a young girl, and it makes a cute "someone loves me!" statement that a younger person can easily get away with.

I wouldn't get a ring. I'm saving that for when I get engaged/married -- make _that_ statement at the right time.

I would say perhaps a nice pair of diamond studs, i mean you cant go wrong! diamond studs are classics and will never go out of style, the match everything, they dress up things that look casual etc. Or a diamond pendant, is also very classy and will never go out of style!!! tell us what you eventually decide!
