Diamond rings are very elegant and regardless of the size of the stone, there are some things you should keep in mind when wearing them. You can get a lot more compliments when the diamond is the center of attention on your hand. Whether it’s an engagement ring or a cocktail ring, the important thing is to match it with everything else you’re wearing.
Focus on the Design of the Ring

Ensure that your manicure won’t distract from the color of the diamond.
Every diamond is different. Take a look at the color of the stone.
If you have a white diamond, then it will coordinate with virtually everything in your wardrobe.
If you have a colored diamond, such as a pink, yellow, blue or chocolate diamond, you have to match it with what you’re wearing.
It doesn’t have to be the same color, but it does have to coordinate.
Consider the setting for the diamond as well.
If you have a yellow gold setting, then be sure to make all of the other jewelry you wear yellow gold as well.
If you wear a watch, then it should be made of yellow gold or feature a leather band.
The same should be said about platinum, though you can also wear white gold and silver.
Give Yourself a Manicure
When you have a stunning diamond ring on your finger, people are going to see it. As you talk with your hands, the light will catch the facets of the stone and sparkle.
Some people may come over just to see the diamond. Your fingers and nails should look just as stunning as the diamond to help showcase it better.

You can coordinate any color diamond with this type of manicure.
If you want to go with a polish, ensure it won’t distract from the color of the diamond.
For example, a yellow nail polish will look great with a yellow diamond, but it could take away from the clear brilliance of a white diamond, which should be avoided at all times.

Wearing a Diamond Ring with Other Jewelry
There’s no rule that says you can’t wear a diamond ring with other jewelry. Ensure the settings match.
You also want to space out the rings on your fingers. Don’t put too many other rings on the hand that you have the diamond ring.
Particularly with a large stone, let that be the main focus on one hand. If you want some large cocktail rings, place them on the other hand.
Necklaces and bracelets can also feature diamonds or other gemstones. Try to choose jewelry that features the same cut as the diamond you’re wearing.
If you have a princess cut diamond ring on your finger, try to find princess or square cut gemstones for everything else you wear with it – including the earrings that dangle from your earlobes – it will complete the look more effectively.
Ultimately, the center of attention will be your diamond ring.
If you wear too much other jewelry, it’s going to take away from the natural beauty you have on your finger, which is what you want to avoid. When it comes to coordinating with a diamond, less is always more.
