In this year when it seems like everything’s changing, it’s reassuring to see that some of the biggest jewelry trends are timeless classics.
Did you know that 72 percent of people prefer to buy timeless styles when they’re shopping for new jewelry? This is especially true when it comes to shopping for diamonds. At Dickinson Jewelers, we absolutely drool over diamonds. We’re diamond experts, but it doesn’t feel fair to say that when we love every single second of learning about this beautiful gemstone.
We’ve collected some of our most favorite timeless diamond styles for you. Hint, hint: the holiday season is coming, so feel free to bookmark these styles to make shopping easier!
Oval diamonds
Oval diamonds have 58 facets, which means that their sparkle is similar to a round diamond’s. Like a pear-shaped diamond, an oval diamond can appear larger than it really is, and is also flattering to fingers.
Oval diamonds have an amazing history! The first oval-shaped diamond was mentioned in 1304 (yes, you read that right) and is now kept safe in the Tower of London. These diamonds were the original trendsetter, with people in colonial times clamoring over them. If you’re interested in a classic shape but want something more unique than a round diamond, this one’s for you!
This ring from Gabriel and Co is a TOTAL showstopper! We are especially obsessed with the insanely detailed undercarriage. Shop all of Gabriel and Co’s looks here.
Solitaire earrings
One of the most famous diamond trends, diamond solitaire earrings have been around since ancient Egyptian times — how’s that for timeless? The modern solitaire made its first appearance in the late 1800s and has been going strong ever since.
It seems like there are infinite ways to style these stunners. We love this white gold set! These diamonds combine to be 1 carat and have an elegant martini setting.
Tennis bracelets
Oh my gosh, we are absolutely head-over-heels for tennis bracelets. Have you ever wondered why these diamond bracelets are called that? Tennis bracelets have been popular since the 1920s, but they weren’t called that until tennis star Chris Evert suffered quite the mishap during the US Open. Evert had been playing a particularly big match when her diamond line bracelet, as they were then called, flew off her wrist. She asked to stop the match to find it, and the jewelry industry was never the same!
Even if you’re not much for sports, you can’t help but to admire the elegance of the tennis bracelet. We love this style, and hey — that clasp looks an awful lot stronger than Chris Evert’s!
Diamond pendants
This style is definitely up there with solitaire earrings for us! We love the versatility of a diamond pendant. These necklaces can be anything from a simple solitaire to a modern twist on a timeless classic.
This white gold piece from Zeghani is a great example of the latter! We love the elegance of the white gold paired with those timeless diamonds.
Fashion rings
Finally, we need to confess our fondness for diamond fashion rings. These are rings that wouldn’t traditionally be used as engagement rings, but that provide insane amounts of bling and style. Often, fashion rings feature multiple smaller diamonds as opposed to engagement rings’ prominent single setting.
We adore this fashion ring from Shy Creation! The 14k white gold goes perfectly with each of the diamonds.
