When you hear the word “diamond,” you may immediately conjure an image of an engagement ring, a symbol of romance and the joining of two lives. But if you’re single and think it’s not your place to wear diamonds, read on.
Being one of the strongest gemstones available in the world, diamonds represent not only the endurance of a romantic relationship, but also the strength and power of the person wearing them. With or without a romantic partner, wearing diamonds represents your independence, resilience, and fortitude as an individual.
Diamonds - with their unique illumination and reflection - are also strong symbols of what is new and possible. Are you driven, motivated, and self-reliant? You can wear diamonds. Are you free-spirited, unfettered, and up for anything? You can wear diamonds. If there’s a piece of diamond jewelry that has been passed to you as an heirloom, there is no reason to abstain from wearing it just because you’re not married or engaged. Diamonds were made to adorn those individuals who represent beauty and integrity in all of its forms, whether that be the love of a partner, a family member, or yourself.
As Valentine's Day approaches, it is a widely marketed notion that we should wait on someone else to gift us beautiful jewelry. This year, consider your own personal style and the person you are as an individual; then give some consideration to what pieces showcase that style, and how you can authentically bring that style to light.
Diamonds are not - and never have been - only a symbol of romantic love. They aredazzling reminders of our own ability to shine as individuals. Make this year the one you pull those diamonds out, or invest in one that’s perfect for you, to rightly showcase your own personal beauty and brilliance.
