Diamond Stud Earrings
Seriously, it doesn’t get more classic. Diamond studs are the OG of girlfriend gifts. They’re timeless, versatile, and will never, ever go out of style. Whether she’s wearing them to brunch or a formal affair, diamond studs will add a little sparkle to everything. Want to go the extra mile? Pick up a pair that’s slightly larger than her usual size—nothing says “I’m paying attention” like noticing her desire to upgrade her jewelry collection.
The OG Emerald Cut – A touch of class with a dash of drama
If she’s the traditional type, or you’re seriously not sure what she’ll love, then we can’t suggest a more perfect pair of diamond stud earrings than our OG Emerald Cut studs. Sure, you could go for round diamonds, but emerald cuts stand out with their sleek, sophisticated charm. Their elongated shape and hall-of-mirrors like flash will give everyone something to talk about. This simple, traditional four-prong setting style keeps the diamonds nice and secure without hiding any of their sparkle.
The Clutch Asscher – Bold and beautiful
If your girlfriend likes something a bit more cool and modern, our signature Clutch setting, an ultra-low profile half bezel style, set with two Asscher cut diamonds might be the ticket. The vintage flair of the diamond contrasts beautifully with the sculptural wire setting, making these diamond studs pop in the best way. They basically float off the ear and give her a light, airy, minimalist look.
The Gumdrop – Sweet, but make it fashion
Not all girlfriend gifts need to be serious business. But this one is. Both playful and strikingly bold, our Gumdrop diamond earrings ensconce shimmering emerald cut diamonds in a chunky, yet lightweight, look that’s easy to wear and to love. After all, who doesn’t love a little whimsy that also reads as vintage throwback? They’re bold, sexy, and will satisfy all of your sparkle cravings.
The Lowrider – Cool, calm, and collected
For the girlfriend who doesn’t want to make too much noise but still loves to shine, the Lowrider is your go-to. These sleek, bezel set diamond studs are low-key with just the right amount of glimmer. Perfect for an understated girl who’s effortlessly chic (but secretly kinda fancy). You can choose from a wide range of carat weights and metals to make them suit the occasion and the girl.
Tennis Bracelets – Because Who Doesn’t Want to Feel Like a Million Bucks?
Let’s be real, darlings, tennis bracelets are the jewelry equivalent of Kardashians on the red carpet. A literal showstopper. They’re elegant, they’re shiny, and they just scream luxury. If you’re ready to treat her like the queen she is, a tennis bracelet might just be the way to go.
The Half Briquette 1 Carat – Subtle yet stunning
If she’s into subtle elegance, and you want to keep your budget cool, the Half Briquette 1 Carat bracelet might be the perfect choice. It’s classy, but with a slight edge that says, “I’m cool, but I’m also here for the sparkles.” Buttery warm gold and baguette-cut diamonds radiate with every flick of the wrist. Like fluid sparkle you never want to take off. Diamonds here go halfway around the wrist, and it’s perfect for someone who loves understated luxury. You know, like that cashmere sweatsuit she’s always cuddled up in.
The Round OG 2 Carats – A little more glitz
If you want to keep it classic and go for major sparkle, the Round OG 2 Carat bracelet will do the trick. It’s still not over-the-top, but it’s definitely a showstopper. Perfect for when she needs a little extra sparkle in her life (or, you know, just because it’s Tuesday). This diamond tennis bracelet rocks simple, prong-set diamonds in an endless row around the wrist for a line of serious shine and instant fancy.
Emerald Lowrider 5 Carats – Big, bold, and beautiful
For the girl who’s all about big, bold statements, the Emerald-Cut Lowrider 5 Carat bracelet is the tennis bracelet to end all tennis bracelets. I.e. Anything but mid. This piece drips with east-west set diamonds in gleaming gold bezels for a mix of delicate and drop-dead gorgeous. It’s the definition of major but don’t be surprised if she’s wearing in on the daily
Drip with Diamond Pendants – Sparkle at Every Angle
Pendants are perfect because they add just the right amount of drama without being too “in-your-face.” She can rock them with anything and always look effortlessly cool.
The OG Emerald Pendant – A classic stunner
The little black dress of pendants. The OG is our most classic prong set pendant necklace, but setting it with an emerald-cut diamond makes it a bit more interesting. The sleek, elongated facets of an emerald cut are super sophisticated and offer a modern take on this classic style.
The Radiator E.W – Make it shine
For a bold gold style that is also a throwback to Art Deco (think Gatsby at his best), our signature Radiator East-West setting brings delicious vintage-inspired chunkiness to your look. Its ridged design puts your diamond at the center of a sort of halo of gold. The east-west design (set horizontally instead of vertically) also makes it a great layering piece.
Lowrider Round – Classic with a twist
For something understated but still elegant, the Lowrider pendant set with a classic round brilliant cut diamond is totally on point. It’s a super sleek look with a low-profile bezel setting. Perfect for the girlfriend who likes things clean, elegant, and effortlessly chic.
Statement Diamond Rings- Because She Deserves to Shine
When it comes to jewelry for your girlfriend, statement diamond rings are the ultimate power move—think of them as the crown jewels of rings. These aren’t your average, everyday bands. Oh no, these are the ones that make a statement, like Penelope Featherington gracing the ballroom in a gown that makes everyone stop and stare. From bold, geometric designs to rings dripping with diamonds, these beauties are for the girl who deserves a gift that says, “I’m the main character.”
The Gumdrop- Sweet and stunning
Not just for candy lovers, the Gumdrop diamond ring is sweet but with a serious amount of sparkle. Designed for the child at heart, this chunky diamond ring features a diamond set inside a bold, curvy bezel for a fun play on shapes characterizing the union of you and your better half.
The Lunette- Bold and beautiful
For a girl who likes being noticed, the Lunette makes a major statement. It’s a chunky half-bezel band look that shimmers with an east-west diamond playing a bit of peek-a-boo. See how it’s barely there from the side view? A buzzy crescent moon silhouette is total vibes. This piece is all about turning heads and showing off her style.
The Cantilever – A modern twist
If she’s into contemporary, architectural pieces, the Cantilever ring will blow her mind. It’s an avant-garde style with an emphasis on geometry, floating a diamond off the side of the band, hovering over the finger in a low-profile move that defies expectation. Perfect for the girl who appreciates a little innovation in her jewelry.
The Celeste – Out of this world
For the girlfriend who’s literally out of this world, the Celeste ring sparkles like the stars. It’s an elegant, modern ring that merges a half-plutch (one of our signatures) with a half-split shank for a wholly luminescent look. The floaty diamond is perfect for someone who deserves nothing less than the best.
