Why Black Friday Is the Ideal Time to Buy Diamonds
Black Friday has special significance for UK shoppers because they get some of the year's best jewellery deals. Premium pieces become more accessible – especially for Christmas diamond earrings and necklaces.
Value Meets Timing
Diamonds are an investment. Buying on Black Friday lets you capture seasonal promotions without ever compromising on quality. It’s your chance to purchase a timeless piece that holds both emotional and real material value.
Perfect Lead-Up to Christmas
It’s also just smart timing. Shop on Black Friday. Your gift (or party piece) will arrive long before the Christmas panic. You’ll breeze past the December rush. Your diamond Christmas earrings or necklaces will be ready and waiting to shine at every festive party/event.
Access to Limited-Edition Collections
Brands often unveil their exclusive festive collections in November. In our experience, these special pieces SELL FAST.
Our limited-edition halo diamond earrings and tennis necklaces flew off the shelves last year. Shopping early will give you the first pick of such limited editions.
Understanding What You’re Buying: The 4Cs of Diamonds
Where does the value of the diamond in your diamond jewellery come from? It comes from the ’4Cs’ of your diamond.
Cut
The cut determines how well a diamond handles light. A perfect cut means brilliant sparkle. Poor cut means dullness. For diamond earrings and necklaces, choose an Excellent or Very Good cut that guarantees radiance, even in soft light.
Colour
Diamonds get graded on a scale. D is colourless. Z is light yellow. For fine jewellery, aim for grades between D and H. They look white. They look bright and are perfect for festive wear.Clarity
This refers to a diamond’s natural, inner inclusions. Flawless diamonds are rare and illogically costly. VS or SI grades offer a better cost/quality balance.Carat
Carat weight = diamond size. But bigger ≠ better. Are you planning to wear your diamonds daily? 0.5-1.5 carat diamond studs are ideal. 1.5 carats or more are a statement piece for special occasions.Every piece you buy from Divour Diamonds is 4C-certified!
Choosing the Right Diamond Earrings
Now, let’s pick Christmas diamond earrings that will outlive the festive season. Pay special attention to these versatile and timeless pieces.
Classic Diamond Studs
Elegant, minimal and always in style – diamond studs are your ‘go-to’ for a reason. They complement every single outfit – from workwear to festive dresses. Round brilliant or princess-cut diamond earrings – set in white gold or platinum – these are this season’s trending pieces.Tip: Buying for everyday wear? Don’t go above 0.50-1.00 carat studs. Save the larger sizes for the bigger, ‘glam’ events.
Diamond Hoops
Diamond hoops are a huge festive fashion favourite here in the UK. They’re bold and eye-catching. But stare at them long enough – you’ll realize just how classy they look.They are perfect for hip Christmas gatherings or that photo-heavy New Year’s Eve countdown.
Choose smaller hoops (huggies) for a subtle shimmer. If you’re going big – go BIG with fully-encrusted hoops.
Drop and Halo Earrings
Want your diamond Christmas earrings to be a CLASSIC evening wear piece? Drop earrings and halo designs offer that safety net of classic brilliance. They frame the face beautifully. They catch the light with every movement. They STUN at black-tie dinners and festive galas. And they make really memorable gifts.Metal Choices
