“Big Girls Need Big Diamonds” – Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth Taylor - One BIG Diamond
First, you will need to do your homework up front. By now, you should have enough knowledge under your belt for, at the very least, a most basic and general understanding of what she may like or dislike. If not, feel free to discreetly hint around, or ask a trusted relative or friend.
By now, you should have also figured out any budgetary considerations, if necessary. If you have not done so, be sure to check with your trusted jeweler. Ask yourself: Just what will she be expecting? Is she a petite person with small fingers? Or, is she tall, with long slender fingers? Will the main stone be offset with companion stones? Is size more important than sparkle and brilliance?
Although a diamond of any carat size would be more than likely accepted with gratitude and excitement, it certainly will bring more joy and happiness, if the selection has been meticulously planned; and if serious thought has been put into the choice made. Trust an expert on this one: No girl is going going to turn down a whopper! In any case, be sure to make a choice that you both can be proud of. Don’t forget what Liz said! (This can also be true for even most “little” girls) ;-)
