They say that diamonds are a girl’s best friend. You would think that would make it easy to please a woman when buying her a gift of diamonds, wouldn’t you? Think again. There are many different kinds of diamonds out there and you have to toe a certain line of appropriateness when buying these gifts.

Let’s take, for example, simple diamond heart pendants jewelry. Here are some shopping do’s and don’ts that you may not have known about:

• Do buy these for any female family member that is the same age as you or younger.
• Don’t buy these for any woman who is older than you are unless she has expressly asked for one.
• Do select a heart shape that flatters the face of the woman who will be wearing it.
• Don’t go overboard with excessive diamonds.
• Do consider getting variations of this gift for different women in your life.
• Don’t get Journey Diamonds unless you are celebrating an anniversary.

If you’re having trouble choosing the right diamond jewelry for the recipient that you have in mind, ask the salesperson at the jewelry counter for some help. Otherwise, just go with diamond watches since they are the safest bet as an appropriate diamond gift for anybody.
