The Cool Nani’s Diwali Gift Guide ft. Natural Diamonds

Diwali is approaching, and I find myself reminiscing about a time when my grandchildren absolutely adored everything, I bought for them. Yet, the truth of the matter is that, as they have grown older, I find myself struggling to keep up with their ever-changing styles, and therefore, I am faced with our biggest challenge yet – picking out the perfect Diwali gift that celebrates our bond & my grandchildren’s unique style.dchildren’s unique style.

Navigating through the varied tapestry of modern trends might seem daunting, but there’s one thing we can all be certain about – there can be nothing more transcending with respect to times and trends than a natural diamond. These gems, forged in the heart of the Earth millions of years ago, are, by their very nature, capable of capturing the essence of my enduring affection for them and becoming cherished heirlooms.

So this Diwali, it’s time for me and all other dear nanis alike, to take a brave step into the modern world of natural diamond trends too, because there’s nothing better than finding a gift that’s just a little bit like our grandchildren themselves – beautiful, precious, strong, one-of-a-kind and most importantly, timeless like our bond.

Modern Dreams with a Classic Touch

I really was not surprised to find my grandchildren looking into my cupboard or jewellery box and finding pieces that they absolutely adore. That’s because vintage styles are back in vogue, and believe it or not, this is a hint towards choosing the perfect gift for them. Because it means that they love the classics. So really, I thought, let me look no further than the delicate natural diamond tennis bracelet, the ever-elegant diamond drops, or even a solitaire they’ll cherish. These classics are versatile pieces that not only make for the perfect festive adornments but also become your grandchild’s signature constant in their ever-evolving style.

Florals That Bloom With Legacy

I often noticed my grandchildren stop to take in the beauty of delicate flowers or gravitate more towards the softer things in life, including colours. So of course, my mind veered towards choosing understated natural diamond pieces thinking it would make for the perfect gift for them this Diwali. Rings with delicate floral silhouettes or maybe a simple pink diamond pendant that complements their style wherever they go. And if I chose to add a whimsical touch to the gift by getting myself a matching pair, I’m sure that my grandchildren will be able to twin with me, while having a keepsake for generations to come.

Now, it can be difficult to choose from the myriad of choices available, so here are some pieces that can serve as an inspiration!

Showstopping Elegance

No one quite loves drama, and embraces their maximalist individuality, like my granddaughter does. So this Diwali, I thought, why not give her something that is truly showstopping, with a little inspiration from the Bollywood silver screen? I’m talking about shoulder dusters encrusted with natural diamonds for their big moment or statement cuffs that will make everyone stop and stare at their maximalist glory.

Bolder choices might seem daunting, which is why, here are some pieces that will definitely be the perfect Diwali gift.

Of  Love and Sentimentality

Just like me when I was younger, my youngest grandchildren also use jewellery to express themselves. But a stark difference between us? Their style is very minimal. I’ve always loved natural diamonds… So, I got to thinking, can I get them to fall in love with these precious gems like me? The answer, surprisingly, was simple. Everyday wear jewellery like delicate diamond pendants or rings they can stack up and match, even if their style changes over the years. So perhaps I can get them something that suits their style (detachable layers or a versatile ring that can be used as a drop pendant) and present it to them as a modern heirloom that they will cherish for years to come.
