When and how to wear jewelry
Today there are fewer restrictions, but conservatism remains, the fundamentals are unshakable.
Nature of the event
The main rule to follow is that diamond jewelry is not worn every day. These are evening stones for special occasions, chic with candles or artificial lighting.
- Social event. In the evening, wear a full diamond necklace, complemented by a ring or bracelet.
- Job. Silver or white gold earrings and rings with small diamonds or chips are acceptable. Large stones, massive necklaces, and dangling earrings are excluded, especially at business meetings or negotiations. For such events, a diamond pendant up to 15 mm on an elegant chain and a stud with small stones are enough. From the brooches, select a “twig” on the left side of the jacket (but you need to discard the chain).
- Party. Silver jewelry that imitates the sign of the Zodiac and stud earrings of the same style are suitable.
Diamonds are not worn on outerwear, but you can decorate a branded handbag, scarf, or scarf with them.
Age and marital status
Large diamonds in massive jewelry are intended for accomplished mature ladies.
For girls, pendants, pendants, bracelets studded with diamond chips, or dangling earrings are suitable. A diamond ring has a special meaning. In the Western world it is a symbol of engagement. It is worn either by those who are really getting married soon, or by those who want to create such an appearance.
Number of decorations
Royal stones do not tolerate “clustering”, so two or three small-sized diamond accessories are optimal in an outfit. Large decoration is present in the singular.
Wardrobe
Discreet and expensive. A classic suit, a plain, dim blouse, and a laconic black dress are suitable for work. In the evening - an elegant dress with open shoulders or a deep neckline. The items accentuate the elegance of the stone and will draw the attention of others to the sophistication of the owner’s image.
The proximity of jeans, a colorful dress, a knitted sweater or sportswear, even branded models, is bad manners.
Rule #6: Admire, but don't be curious
Questions about the price of the jewelry, the carat value of the stone and its authenticity are impolite. Seemingly innocent curiosity will give others a reason for jokes, and the owner of the jewelry will feel awkward because her answer may be perceived as boasting, or will begin to worry that her diamonds look like an imitation. If you so wish, you can share the details one-on-one with those closest to you.

Top Diamond Jewelry
Domestic jewelry brands represent all types of jewelry in different price segments. The designer's imagination will satisfy even the most picky clients.
Ring and ring
The most popular decoration for wealthy citizens of both sexes.
How to wear
Traditionally, a diamond ring is worn on the ring finger of either hand. It is possible on the middle or index finger, but never on the thumb or little finger. The exception is the men's diamond signet ring on the left little finger.
A second ring on a finger (with the exception of a wedding ring) is considered bad form.
Wedding rings
Lovers of the classics will love engraved models or chic vintage ones. For eccentric people, the modern style options are suitable, in which white stones are combined with a black diamond. This duet looks expensive and stylish.
Pendant
A universal decoration, worn for a holiday or just because. A small stone in a miniature pendant is suitable for daily wear. The length of the chain is determined by the neckline of the garment. Can be complemented with stud carnations.
This set of jewelry smoothes out the severity of a business light pencil skirt and emphasizes the airiness of the blouse. The ensemble looks formal and feminine at the same time.
Earrings
The most favorite accessory of ladies and some men. Several types of diamond earrings have been developed:
- studs - “studs” with modest decor;
- paths are classic, suitable for a celebration or every day;
- rings - considered the oldest ear decorations;
- hanging - solid or with pendants, worn with an evening or cocktail dress.
Beautiful earrings with a pin lock, but require caution when wearing. A shackle lock is more secure.
Earrings are chosen so that the hair does not hide them. That is, a short haircut or long hair laid up. A voluminous hairstyle will be complemented by a large diamond; medium and small stones are suitable for a smooth haircut.
Necklace
The most popular option is a gold necklace in yellow, pink, white (or all at once). Diamonds in them are combined with other stones:
- sapphire - for a blue or white outfit;
- emerald – a piece of jewelry that has one large gem or several smaller ones is considered ideal;
- pearls are the most aristocratic option.
Necklaces are made in floral or abstract themes. A strict product with geometric patterns and figures is worn at an official status event.
Bracelet and watch
Better than others, they emphasize the taste, style, and financial viability of a lady or gentleman. The case of chronometers with diamonds, including black ones, is made of gold of all colors, platinum, and titanium. Watches with diamonds come from different brands, for example, you can buy Rado watches in the Integral series.
Youth line of watches and bracelets - made of silver, all shapes, styles, with a scattering of stones. It is advisable to wear the bracelet on your left hand.
Brooch
It is not seen often, so it makes the owner stand out. The brooch is used to decorate the collar of a blouse, the edge of a scarf, a shawl, a cape, or a jacket. A diamond accessory completes the look, making it elegant.
Brooches are classified according to the type of fastening as follows:
- pin – a practical, popular “flower” type, easily attached to a handbag or clothing;
- hairpin is the only type used to decorate hair (along with clothes);
- needle – attached to clothing with a special needle, it stands out for its sophistication and airiness, especially on a hat.
The brooch is worn on the left side. A large one with a large stone is suitable for a luxurious lady; an airy version suits a young lady.
For men
The most popular accessory is a watch. The range for representatives of the stronger half is not limited to them. Popular jewelry with black diamonds are bracelets, cufflinks, tie clips, and rings.
Carbonado is the ideal solution for everyone who considers shiny white stones frivolous and feminine. Although business ladies, wanting to demonstrate firmness, decorate themselves with a ring, brooch or watch with a black diamond. According to the Zodiac, this is the stone of Leo and Cancer.
Diamond products do not tolerate “competitors”, so jewelry with other stones in the same outfit is excluded.
Rule #3: Wear diamond rings on whatever fingers you want.
What kind of prohibitions did not exist before! For example, it was considered rude to wear a diamond ring on your left hand unless it was an engagement or wedding piece. Also, a taboo was imposed on the middle fingers of both hands: for the same reasons of good taste (due to the association with an indecent gesture?) they could not be decorated with rings. Nowadays, these rules of jewelry etiquette are outdated, and even Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, sometimes wears a classic ring design on her middle finger.

Second hand diamond
Cut diamonds, like no other gem, have a trail of intrigue, crime, and blood. Only the “path” of exclusive copies is known. Why a ring or brooch appeared on the road and what is behind it is unknown. There may be several reasons:
- thrown out in their hearts, under the influence of emotions;
- the owner got into trouble, the stone absorbed the energy of the tragedy;
- accidentally lost.
Having found a pebble, you should contact a psychic you trust. Perhaps he will discern the “aura” of the jewelry. If you are not sure, it is better to get rid of the jewelry. For example, take it to a pawn shop or consignment shop. For the same reason, you need to think carefully before buying such antique items.
A diamond passed down by inheritance is considered a powerful talisman. A pebble donated by relatives will not harm. It is safer to buy a new product.
The magical properties of diamond
The name "diamond" comes from the Greek "adamas", which means "indestructible". A natural diamond imparts similar properties to its owner. They say about the following influence of the stone on the person wearing it:
- gives the ability to make complex decisions;
- makes character strong;
- increases the ability to influence others;
- helps in business;
- promotes financial well-being;
- increases determination.
It should be noted that diamonds are not only girls’ friends! First of all, they are called the stones of warriors, people with a strong character, fighters by nature, which is why diamonds often become companions of famous businessmen, athletes, and politicians. For men, they can decorate watches, rings, cufflinks, tie clips, and even men's stud earrings. Looking at the chic gold cufflinks - a black square of enamel with a shiny border - it’s hard not to feel respect for their owner. On the one hand, diamonds emphasize a person’s status, on the other, they affirm him in him.
Diamond setting
Diamonds in products are framed mainly with gold of all colors of at least 585 standard. The democratic segment is represented by 925 silver.
Gold
White, pink or yellow, in combination with gems of a similar class - emeralds, pearls, sapphire.
The price of jewelry depends on the massiveness of the frame, the number and size of stones. Products with one small stone are available - 1,290–11,380 rubles.
Elite options are more expensive. For example, massive earrings made of white gold with emeralds and diamonds – 104–247 thousand rubles, sapphire – 130–155.5 thousand rubles.
Silver
Silver products are laconic, as a rule, they contain one stone. They come with small diamonds or scatterings. Suitable for every day, there is a children's and youth line. Silver engagement rings or vintage rings are interesting.
The cost of jewelry is affordable - from 590 rubles, the maximum price of most does not exceed 4900 rubles.
Platinum
Rarely found in salons. Such things are piece goods, made exclusively to order.
Any diamond jewelry is the best gift for all women and many men. This is endless gratitude to the giver, joy, pride. But it’s also a hassle, because you need to match the royal gem in wardrobe, hairstyle, and makeup. If finances are limited, they start with silver. These jewelry resemble white gold, but are several times cheaper.
Having bought or received the first diamondine as a gift, the owner will, unnoticed, begin the transition to a new level, into the world of beauty and luxury.
Rule #7: Take care of family heirlooms
What should you do if you received an heirloom engagement or wedding ring from the man of your dreams, but you don’t really like the design? It is believed that the setting of a vintage piece of jewelry can be changed, but not the cut of the stone. On the other hand, there are so many brides, so many opinions. Thus, Jessica Simpson, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Olivia Wilde, Kate Moss happily wear Art Deco engagement rings created in the 1920s. But Miley Cyrus complains that the antique yellow gold ring with white diamonds she received from Liam Hemsfort on her engagement day does not fit into her style and lifestyle. She prefers the style of anime and rock bands.
