A Ring with a Diamond (But Not a Diamond Ring)
Diamonds aren’t just for engagement rings. We meet tons of lovely folks looking to celebrate cohabitation, commitment, the birth of a new child, a life milestone and so on. And not one of these people is bothered by the cultural convention of diamond rings as being strictly for engagement purposes! We think celebrating anything you like with diamonds is a wonderful idea, so here are our top reasons to bestow stunning diamond rings upon your favourite people (and which finger is most apt!)
Nuptial-Free Commitment
Marriage isn’t for everyone, but that’s not to say the commitment between unmarried folks is any less significant and steadfast. Marking love with diamonds is an ancient tradition that transcends cultures, nations and laws, so we love to meet couples who want to mark their love with the simple gift of a diamond ring on any finger they like.
Friendship
Marking a significant friendship or family tie with a diamond “promise” ring is clearly a mark of the close bond between any two people. Generally the norm is to steer clear of the wedding band finger, but aside from that it’s up to you.
A New Baby
New mums have a lot to cope with, and we’re confident a well-timed diamond gift could mean the world to a partner recently visited by the stork. The little finger represents the sentimentality and sweetness of relationships.
Ambition
The index finger on each hand is synonymous with power, achievement and ambition (hence why kings and evil cardinals in films are usually weighed down by a colossal ring!)
