Weddings are as good a time as any for diamonds and gift giving, and as it happens the two coincide quite nicely on special, rare occasions! Of course, we all know of the most important diamond involved in any wedding – traditionally, that which adorns the engagement ring worn by the bride during the engagement period leading up to the wedding. However, a diamond engagement ring does not have to be the only diamond item present, and the bride does not have to be the only recipient of this splendid sort of jewellery. In fact, there are many other gift giving opportunities at weddings, and some of them call for the very best.

To begin with, the bride may want to thank her bridesmaids with some nice gifts, and a quick visit to Seventy Seven Diamonds can be a nice place to start shopping. Of course, outfitting an entire group of bridesmaids in diamonds can get quite expensive quite quickly, but it is certainly a nice gesture to give matching jewellery to your bridesmaids, and some small diamonds can’t hurt! One nice thing that some women consider is to give the bridesmaids bracelets, necklaces or earrings that match the engagement ring, as this makes the gift more personal and more relevant to the occasion – they will always associate that jewellery with being there for you on your wedding day!

It is also increasingly common for the bride to give the groom a nice gift, and returning the favour of a diamond ring can be a very nice gesture. Of course, you do not necessarily have to buy diamonds for the groom, and most items with diamonds on them are not meant for men in any case. However, if you would like to consider the jewellery route, decorated key pendants are not uncommon as gifts for grooms. This is not something he will necessarily wear, of course, but it can be a sort of symbol (a “key to your heart,” perhaps), and he will surely cherish it.

Again, weddings are fantastic occasions for the giving of special gifts, and these are merely a few ideas for brides to consider. None of these gifts are entirely necessary, nor is the theme of diamond – but a lot of brides enjoy the idea of thanking their bridesmaids, and of giving their grooms something in exchange for an engagement ring. In these specific instances, going with diamonds can be very nice, as it shows a sort of pleasant symmetry, and also symbolizes the depth of your gratitude, love, and devotion.
