Diamond and Jewelry Articles

The new jewelry category for diamond "right hand" rings represents the fact that women feel increasingly comfortable buying jewelry for themselves. The diamond right hand ring is a symbol of the increasingly important role of women outside the family -- a celebration of independence and self reliance.

With women attaining parity in the workplace, more women than ever have disposable income. Women are also choosing to marry later in life and do not feel they have to wait for a man to buy them diamonds. With engagement rings and wedding sets worn on the left hand, the diamond right hand ring is symbolic of a new reality.

Right hand rings were originally conceived to showcase specific jewelry design elements, but today can consist of almost any configuration or combination of diamond sizes and shapes set in yellow gold, white gold or platinum. From relatively simple tailored styles to over-the-top "bling bling," it's just a matter of personal taste. After all, the diamond right hand ring speaks of freedom and personal and financial independence so... "You go girl!"
