Diamond Jewelry

Always a classic.

Fine Diamond Jewelry remains the cornerstone of the jewelry industry. In fact, according to a study in November, 2019 Americans spent $36 billion on diamond jewelry! Famously stated, “diamonds are a girl's best friend,” and at Donald Haack Diamonds, our collection of this most popular fine jewelry staple is second to none. It’s also important to note that we do not sell lab-grown diamonds or lab-grown diamond jewelry, and if you want to find out more about our stance on that issue, feel free to read more about it here.

Without a doubt, when you are talking about fine jewelry, the single most popular purchase, and what we consider a jewelry staple, are diamond earrings. They can be large or small - depending on your budget! Certainly that is also true for just about any fine jewelry piece you own. But it also depends on what size may be right for you based on your stature. When it comes to earrings, in particular, you should actually consider the size of your earlobes. If they are small and petite, we wouldn’t want the earrings to be too large and uncomfortable! Large earrings can also be made lighter based on the metal selection and if the metal is thinner or more dainty. Fine Diamond Jewelry can be set in white, yellow, rose gold, and platinum.

Much like gemstones and rough, he purchases the placer gold directly from the prospectors who mine with minimal environmental damage. This ethic reinforces Wolfgang’s theme of nature and the empathy he feels for our natural world.

Jewelry Trends

When it comes to fine jewelry that endures, you can consider trends, but it is equally important to consider those pieces that never go out of style. Here's our list of what’s trending now and a list of classics that never go off-trend.

Stacks and more stacks.

Stackable jewelry is not only on-trend, we think it’s here to stay. With stackables, the possibilities are endless. Like a charm bracelet, notable dates can be celebrated and commemorated with stacks and layers of jewelry for your fingers, arms, and neckline. One for the birthday, one for an anniversary, one for a child’s birthdate and then you have your own unique stack. One of our favorite designers is Sethi Couture, known for elegant and timeless stackable designs. 

All that glitters is gold.

We’re glad to see yellow gold come back in fashion. After all, yellow gold has always been a classic choice in fine jewelry - and a staple! Yellow gold fine jewelry should be part of any wardrobe. Mix and wear it with your other white and rose gold tones. And, whether it’s on-trend or not, in Charlotte, it will never go out of style. The Mazza Company and Alex Sepkus are two of many designers in our store who use this precious metal for their extraordinary designs!

In living color

Color has always been a staple in the south but has become popular in other parts of the country a few years ago. You can never go wrong with a stunning colored gemstone whether it is the ‘Wow!’ focal point of your outfit, or worn as a complementary accent. We love how color can be an expression of your personal style! Our name is Donald Haack Diamonds and Fine Gems. We have fun and fine gemstones in our store and online and can select the finest gemstones for you upon request.

Loving Hoops

Hoop earrings are on the ‘must have’ list right next to diamond studs. The classic hoop earring never goes out of style! We carry diamond hoops in all sizes and precious metals and help you select the perfect hoop to fit your lifestyle. If you had to choose just one, we might suggest a classic diamond hoop earring.

All about chains

We notice the trend is to layer basic chains with the fun and fine statement chains to create a unique layering look and complete an outfit. We have the basics and the station necklaces, set with diamonds, and gemstones. We have the larger, fun chains that can be worn long or doubled - sometimes tripled. We’re glad this basic fine jewelry staple is back - and hopefully to stay!
