It seems that the more choices we have to express our individuality, the more people want to try and imitate us. Popular trends still seem to result in many people dressing the same, eating the same foods, and driving the same cars, when at the same time, the opportunity to custom design everything from your vehicle to your sandwich is right at our finger tips. Like everything else in life, finding a happy medium is the key to a balanced life, and when it comes to choosing fine diamond jewelry, that happy medium is a diamond pendant.

Pendants have always been a great way to express a little bit about who you are and your beliefs.  From a simple design like a dolphin (to show your love of the ocean) or a palm tree (your dreams of a tropical vacation) to specific pieces that reflect who you’ll be rooting for this upcoming football season, diamond pendants are the perfect little message board for your personality. Now, with the advances in custom design jewelry, plus the explosion in officially licensed merchandise from everyone from rock and roll bands to your favorite charity, the sky is the limit as to what you can choose to express. The beauty of that is that your diamond pendant doesn’t have to express anything at all other than your own creative ideas. One of the best looking pendants I ever saw belonged to a co-worker of mine. She wouldn’t wear it all the time, but every time she did, it caught my eye, as well as several more of our colleagues. I finally asked her about the simple collection of circles that all met at the same point, and she said that it was a design she and her sisters came up with to symbolize how they felt bonded to each other. By working with a trained jeweler, one can design a pendant whose meaning is clear only to its creator. Wearing that diamond pendant everyday, close to your heart, will keep that dream alive, whatever it may be and serve as something for everyone to see and admire in addition to being a symbol for something you deeply believe in.
