The tradition of giving diamond engagement rings is certainly something the jewellery industry favours. However, traditions are often best evolved and left open to interpretation from time to time…
Diamonds are synonymous with wedding jewellery. But who says it has to be a ring? The gift of loose diamonds is something rather lost on modern folk. When once there may have been Family Jewels, now there is simply a disbursement of generational wealth made necessary by the cost of modern living, the current financial climate, and the notion that couples should provide for themselves in terms of paying for weddings and nuptial jewellery.
Keeping Options Open
There are loose diamonds to suit every budget, with smaller stones selling for around the £250 mark in reputable jewellers like Marlow’s Certified Diamonds. Presenting a woman with a delicate velvet bag containing a single diamond (or a collection!) carries subtle connotations of choice, companionship and welcome opinion. Custom engagement rings chosen together to fit a gifted diamond present a wonderful way of bringing a couple closer together in bespoke union.
Investment
The timeless chic of loose diamonds is certainly not diminished by a generation or two spent in a ring setting. Diamonds are incredibly good at holding on to their worth. The old-world charisma associated with loose diamonds and family gems is something that could mark the ideal contribution to a newly engaged couple looking to begin their future with a little glance to past tradition.
