12 Diamond Cuts for the 12 Days of Christmas

As the holiday season approaches, love is in the air, and what better way to celebrate it than with the classic song, "The 12 Days of Christmas?" In this festive blog, we're putting a sparkling twist on the beloved carol by incorporating diamonds into each verse, making it a perfect guide for those planning to pop the question during the holiday season. Let's make this Christmas even more magical with the gift of forever love, while also exploring how each verse aligns with a specific diamond shape.

Verse 1: "On the First Day of Christmas, My True Love Gave to Me..."

On the first day of Christmas, you could give your true love a magnificent solitaire engagement ring with a pear-cut diamond. This simple and classic choice represents the Partridge in a Pear Tree, so if you’re planning to pop the question on this day, The Ashley in yellow gold with a pear-cut sparkler would be a perfect choice!

Verse 2: "On the Second Day of Christmas, My True Love Gave to Me..."

For the second day, consider a stunning halo engagement ring with a heart-cut diamond. This ring style features a central stone encircled by smaller diamonds, creating a halo effect that adds extra sparkle and brilliance. A heart-shaped diamond symbolizes love and affection, just like the turtle doves in the song, so when it’s set in a glorious ring like The Michelle in rose gold, it sends a beautiful message.

Verse 3: "On the Third Day of Christmas, My True Love Gave to Me..."

On the third day, present your true love with a glamorous vintage-inspired engagement ring with an oval-cut diamond. Vintage rings are timeless, much like the love you share, while oval-cut diamonds resemble the eggs laid by the three French hens. A flawless oval set in a vintage white gold beauty like The Catherine will make Christmas come early for her!

Verse 4: "On the Fourth Day of Christmas, My True Love Gave to Me..."

Day four calls for an exquisite round-brilliant diamond in a glittering pave setting. The brilliance and sparkle of round-cut diamonds can be compared to the joyous singing of the four calling birds in the fourth verse. When you present it in a shimmering and scintillating ring like The Kamellie in white gold, her eyes will light up too!

Verse 5: "On the Fifth Day of Christmas, My True Love Gave to Me..."

For the fifth day, imagine presenting her with a spectacular princess-cut diamond in a three-stone engagement ring like The Scarlett in yellow gold. Princess cuts are regal, like the five golden rings in the verse, while the three stones represent the past, present, and future of your relationship, symbolizing your enduring commitment to each other. It's a meaningful choice that she’ll love.

Verse 6: "On the Sixth Day of Christmas, My True Love Gave to Me..."

If you’re planning to propose on the sixth day, why not present her with The Textured Twig in yellow gold, featuring a beautiful marquise-cut diamond? The elongated shape of the marquise cut mirrors the graceful form of geese, particularly when they are laying eggs. Bonus points if she’s a nature lover, as The Textured Twig’s sculpted design mimics gently twisted branches.

Verse 7: "On the Seventh Day of Christmas, My True Love Gave to Me..."

Day seven calls for a mesmerizing engagement ring with an Asscher-cut diamond. The clean and symmetrical lines of this unique cut reflects the elegance of swans gracefully swimming, like the "Seven Swans-a-Swimming" in the song. Present her with The Lexie in yellow gold featuring an Asscher diamond on this day and prepare for a huge YES.

Verse 8: "On the Eighth Day of Christmas, My True Love Gave to Me..."

On the sixth day, consider a dazzling cushion-cut diamond in a bezel hidden halo engagement ring like The Charlotte in white gold. The cushion-cut diamond's soft, rounded edges set in a bezel setting exude warmth and comfort, reflecting the cozy moments you share together. They also look like the cushions used by the "Eight Maids-a-Milking" in the song, making them a perfect choice if you plan to propose on that day.

Verse 9: "On the Ninth Day of Christmas, My True Love Gave to Me..."

On the ninth day, imagine giving her a breathtaking ring like The Penelope in white gold with a radiant-cut diamond. These diamonds sparkle and shine much like the energy and grace of the nine ladies dancing, so don’t be surprised if she suggests you celebrate by going out and dancing the night away!

Verse 10: "On the Tenth Day of Christmas, My True Love Gave to Me..."

Day ten calls for an engagement ring with an emerald-cut diamond. The step-like facets of this cut mimic the leaping movements of the ten lords in the song, so when you present her with The Naomi in yellow gold with an emerald cut center stone, her heart will leap with joy- guaranteed.

Verse 11: "On the Eleventh Day of Christmas, My True Love Gave to Me..."

On the eleventh day, imagine presenting her with a breathtaking engagement ring with baguette diamonds on the shoulders. Baguette-cut diamonds, with their long and narrow shape, symbolize the pipes played by the eleven pipers. Since they’re included in the design of The Liv, it would be the perfect ring for an eleventh-day proposal.

Verse 12: "On the Twelfth Day of Christmas, My True Love Gave to Me..."

And finally, on the twelfth day, celebrate your love with an unforgettable elongated cushion diamond ring. These diamonds, known for their longer shape, also represent the drums played by the twelve drummers in the song's finale. Here’s a tip: elongated cushion cuts look awesome in elaborate engagement rings like The Lindsey, especially in yellow gold!

Conclusion

As the holiday season fills the air with joy and love, make your proposal unforgettable with a dazzling diamond engagement ring. Whether you choose a classic solitaire or a fiery halo ring, let the 12 days of Christmas guide you in finding the perfect one.
