Do you think it's appropriate to gift diamond jewelry, especially rings, to family and friends when they are newly made (not heirloom)? Do you think there's sensitivity as diamonds may be reserved as a treat from their DH? When I'm obsessed with something (diamonds) I just want to share it with everyone, but I don't want to step on anyone's toes. I was thinking of designing a 3 stone ring as a gift to my mom, but maybe I should work with my dad on the idea together instead?
 
Not at all I design jewelry as a hobby. And gift my mom with jewelry all the time. My sisters get their fair share as well. Since I have been the one to give them jewelry for a while when they want to buy their own or are gifted by a DH. They show me their jewelry for design approval of sorts. I’m careful not to step on their DH’s toes when it does happen.

I honestly don’t think diamonds are reserved for a DH to gift. By gifting your mom with a piece of jewelry you’re making memories of your own with them I think. And it’s a lovely thought.
 
I buy my mom stuff. I see no issue with it.
 
I don't think it should be a gift reserved for DH at all. My dad and grandmother were the ones to buy my jewellery, and my dad absolutely bought me diamonds. The ring he got me for finishing my undergraduate degree was a diamond band that I still love and treasure to this day.

I would prefer most of my jewellery to come from DH now but i wouldn't turn my nose up to more diamonds from my dad if he felt like springing for some! Lol. I only used to buy my mother pearls because I knew she preferred them to diamonds. I just say make sure that if you buy someone else jewellery make sure it is to their taste. :)
 
I can see that some men may not appreciate if someone else gave their wife diamonds. If for example he were not able to do so himself it could cause feeling of resentment etc. How do you suppose your dad would react...grateful and glad to see your mom receive a nice gift or some other reaction?
I would’t turn down a diamond as a gift nor would my DH be bothered at all. If you need more friends I’m available. :mrgreen:
 
Your family are so lucky to be able to benifit from your love of diamonds

A dad should be chuffed his daughter wants to gift her mother like this
 
It will be a lovely gift and I too would suggest to work with the OP's father on the spec and design etc...

DK :))
 
Lol, @MRBXXXFVVS1 I had to read your post a few times. I read it as 'newly made' referring to the person, as in mafia 'made'!! :lol: I was thinking not many would be able to relate and respond.... but I knew that couldn't be right!! Took me a few, but I got there!! :razz:

I don't think it's a problem at all. I feel like you're allowed to have your own relationships with people and share your love/joy however you enjoy doing so. If he wants to give his SO diamonds and feels one-upped by someone else doing so, he can up his own game. And if it's not important to him, why should his SO be deprived of your gift and/or diamonds?
 
Yes I think it is not only OK it is an amazing and thoughtful gift. :appl:
 
Absolutely ok in my book! A diamond ring from any of my children would be much loved and I can guarantee my DH would have no problem
with it at all!
 
My dad would love it if I kept him out of the equation and gifted to my mom. Or gave to him to gift to my mom. Who would not care either way. Less he has to do the better. Haha
