1 Earrings

Diamond stud earrings are great, but you know what's better? Double or triple the diamonds, in each ear. If she has more than one piercing, the key is to pick a pair that'll play nicely with another set. These are bling-y without being over the top.

2 A Necklace

A simple necklace with a not-so-simple diamond. Ditch the round cut in favor of something that sits a little different, like a pear. A style like this is perfect for layering or wearing on its own, and goes with any outfit.

3 A Bracelet

One of the best things about a simple chain bracelet is it's something she can wear everyday without ever taking off. That means more memories of what a great significant other you are to have bought it for her, every time she looks down at her wrist.

4 A Ring

A diamond ring doesn't have to be an engagement ring (but let's be clear: If she's expecting one from you, then yes, it does). A non-traditional braided band can be worn on any finger, stacked or solo.
