Want to buy my wife real diamond jewelry, where to start?
Our 25th anniversary is in December, and I want to give my wife a real diamond piece, something she’ll wear for the rest of her life. I’ve been putting money aside for it for two years, so I can go up to five figures. The trouble is I know nothing about diamonds and can’t decide between earrings, a necklace or a ring. What would you pick for her, and where in the US should I look?

After twenty five years together, she’ll notice the thought as much as the stone, so it pays to watch her for a week before buying anything. See what she puts on every morning on autopilot, a necklace she never takes off or earrings she’d feel naked leaving the house without. In your shoes, I’d build the gift around that habit, because a piece that fits it gets worn every day. At that price you want it on her, not in a safe.

Most of the time that daily piece turns out to be earrings, since they go on in the morning and stay on until bedtime. Nobody takes them off to cook or garden. For example, you can look at diamond earrings here: https://pierrejewellery.com/ . A pair of studs can carry a big stone and still look quiet, so she can wear them to the grocery store and to dinner out. She can also leave them in all week and never think about them.
