Diamonds are traditionally given to signify wealth, prosperity and love, but that wasn't always the case. Early diamonds were used for their strength instead of their beauty and were used as tools. In China, for instance, diamonds were used for engraving by wealthy families. The diamond pendant has long been a symbol of love and relationships. The diamonds represent a couple's past, present and future. The pendants are touching reminders of love that can be worn for all occasions.

It's not unusual these days for a woman to buy herself a diamond pendant. While they've traditionally been given as romantic gifts, the pendant can also represent a woman's strength and history with a gift to herself. As more and more women are their family's main breadwinner, they aren't waiting for a loved one to buy them diamond pendant.
