December 18th, 2014 by Noam Flint

This is the season for glitz, glamour and all things that sparkle. Christmas will soon be upon us and the time for celebrating will see us dusting off those glad rags and polishing our party shoes. While many of us pile on the glitter as December swings on by, it’s easy to overdo it and end up looking less glitzy and more like Godzilla.

The good news is, there’s plenty of ways to bring out the season’s sparkle, without getting carried away. Sometimes less is more and with pink fancy colored diamonds adorning your festive frock, let’s just say you shall go to the ball. So grab a glass of your favorite tipple and join me as we explore some ways you can make pink diamonds, your key festive accessory this Christmas.

1. Stand Out With A Statement Necklace
A striking necklace has the power to bring an outfit to life. It creates a statement piece, a focal point for people to gaze at longingly, as well as distracting the eye from parts of your body you’re not over-keen on.

Depending on your outfit, go simple with a necklace in white gold or silver with an ornate, pink diamond pendant. The classic little black dress would create a particularly powerful look combined with the delicate purity of the diamond. This Pinterest board has some beautiful necklace suggestions should you find yourself running out of ideas.

2. Go Boho With Bangles And Bracelets
If you’re more of an earthy character, with one foot firmly in the summer sand, you can always opt for a bohemian look. Think rich Indian silks, flowing layers of brocade and velvet, with a little flower-power to bring some sunshine to the party.

Consider combining beads, friendship bands and subtle, pink diamond bangles to create an eclectic mix of the exotic and eccentric. The jewel pink of your diamonds will perfectly compliment the richer tones of your outfit, presenting you as laid back, effortless and exuding style.

3. Stay Simple with The Classic Diamond Ring
Sometimes the barest hint of luxury can complete an outfit. Nothing says luxury more than a simple pink diamond set in a band of the purest platinum. This type of look is for the ladies, the sophisticated femme fatal wrapped in a dress that clings to the figure. Think Vesper Lynd from Casino Royal, with her effortless elegance and grace.

Sandra Bullock creates a stunning, elegant look in this flowing sweetheart wrap dress. It oozes sophistication while the deep navy color is the perfect backdrop for highlighting your glittering diamonds.

4. Elongate Your Neck with Delicate Drop Earrings
Drop earrings are the perfect complement to a range of dress styles. Don’t limit yourself to gowns however. Jumpsuits are incredibly fashionable right now and can be found in a range of luxurious materials and styles to create the ideal, modern look. A pair of glittering drop pink diamond earrings will finish your outfit off with finesse.

If you’re wearing a flowing gown with plenty of material, think about adding a pink touch. Chandelier earrings with a beautiful light pink diamond at the bottom will create that sense of romance. Similarly jumpsuits are very much a minimal look and would suit earrings that are long and sleek with minimal fuss.

5. Complete The Lagenlook With An Ornate Brooch
A fashion trend that’s fast becoming popular is ‘Lagenlook’ which translates as ‘layered look’. The idea of layering materials of differing weights and textures is very much a multi-cultural one. It’s a simple style with a Nordic feel but can also be found frequently in Europe and beyond.

The finishing piece to a layered outfit is often a poncho or wrap made from warm, natural materials like wool and cotton – perfect for keeping warm in the winter weather. Why not keep that wrap firmly in place and add a vintage touch with an ornate brooch, set with elegant pink diamonds.

The Williamson Diamond Brooch, is said to feature one of the world’s finest pink diamonds ever discovered at its center. Owned by Queen Elizabeth I, it has 170 small, brilliant-cut diamonds, 12 baguette-cut diamonds and 21 marquise diamonds forming the petals and stalk, creating a priceless piece of stunning jewelry.

While this brooch is most likely out of anyone’s price range, you can create a similar effect with something less exuberant and more affordable by mounting it with small melee pink diamonds for that pink touch.

Parting Thoughts

While it’s tempting to go over-the-top with your festive outfit, it’s worth remembering that sometimes less really is more. Instead of opting for gaudy costume jewelry this year, why not invest in a little piece of luxury. Fancy colored diamonds are the perfect accompaniment to any party dress and with the season one of merriment and rosy joy, a pink diamond is the ideal accessory.

And while it is obvious that there prices are less than subtle, with basic education, there are ways to buy pink diamonds for less!.
