10 Natural Diamond Friendship Bracelets for You and Your Bestie

Friendship is one of the most important things in the world so why not commemorate it with a natural diamond?

By |

Friendship bracelets have been a sacred tradition across cultures for centuries, but these commemorative tokens rose to popularity in the United States in the 70s. Oftentimes these bracelets were made by hand with string and beads (think back to summer camp). Friendships develop gradually, and true ones only grow deeper and more resilient as time goes on, similar to how a natural diamond forms and strengthens.

When my best friend Emma moved across the country it was a mix of emotions. Excitement for her new journey, yet much sadness that she was leaving, as we would soon be living on opposite sides of the country. We were looking for something to commemorate our friendship and settled upon friendship bracelets. 

Emma and I got our friendship bracelets in college, and though we had upgraded from the classic knotted string bracelets, our budget was not vast. Regardless, it held sentimental value whenever we would look at our wrists and see the bracelets. Now, a little older, it would be nice to upgrade our friendship bracelets, (which both of us still have and wear) to something a bit more sophisticated with a bit more sparkle from a natural diamond. These natural diamond friendship bracelets come in varying prices, ranging from $219 to $15,000, designed to celebrate one of the most meaningful relationships in our lives.

Below are 10 variations of friendship bracelets that are perfect for you and your BFF, whether they live next door or on the opposite side of the country, it is always important to celebrate friendship. What better way than with a natural diamond?
