Diamonds are the official birthstone for April, and a sparkling piece of jewelry is more than enough to light up any dreary days of April showers. It’s also the perfect time to give a brilliant gift to someone special, just because. The joy of spring is in full bloom, so why not spread the love?
We reached out to our friends at Cline Jewelers in downtown Edmonds to ask for suggestions about who to spoil this diamond month, plus some ideas on what to get for them.
Your Partner
This one’s obvious but hey, we figured we’d say it anyway! Don’t wait for an anniversary or Valentine’s Day to spoil the one you love when you can give a gift just because. While it’s great to give your partner a gift for their birthday or a holiday, it’s also expected. Take their breath away with a truly unexpected gift, one that says: you turn every day into a special day.
“People associate diamonds with proposals, but a diamond stacking band makes a really nice gift whether you’re married or not,” says Andy Cline, owner of Cline Jewelers. Diamond stacking bands are typically thin, simple but sparkly, and easy to mix and match. They’re very different from an engagement ring, but they still offer the beauty and value of a diamond for the one you love.
“Some people wait to give diamond bands until an anniversary, but they’re a great gift at any time,” says Andy Cline. “She can add them to her bridal stack along with the engagement ring and wedding band, or wear them on her other fingers to create a really nice, curated, cohesive look.”
Your Bestie
Who says diamonds are only for your romantic loves? Our friends deserve attention and appreciation, too. After all, who would we be without our loyal companions to help us through life’s ups and downs? Show your affection for a friend with a gift that’ll light up her world!
“When people come in looking for gifts for a friend, I like to suggest something kind of fun, like a pair of small diamond hoops,” says Andy Cline. Small diamond hoop earrings, sometimes called huggie hoops, hug the earlobe, a subtler–but still fun–version of classic hoop earrings. A pair of smaller hoops with diamond accents are a playful and bold, yet elegant, gift for someone who enriches your life in so many ways.

Your Favorite Graduate
You might want to wait until the graduation ceremony in May to actually hand over the gift, but now is the perfect time to buy it! Whether they’re celebrating the end of high school, college, or graduate school, they’re about to take the first step on an exciting new journey. Show them how proud you are of their accomplishment and help set them up for success with a gift that will brighten their smile–and their wardrobe–for years to come.
“The best gift for a graduate is one of those essential, versatile pieces they can take with them as they embark on their next adventure,” says Andy Cline. “For grads, I always recommend a pair of diamond stud earrings because they’re such a staple piece. You can wear them to a wedding, a date night, or a party with friends. They’re a great way to dress up your everyday class or work look, too, because they go with absolutely everything.”
Give your grad something they can use! Diamond studs come in many shapes and sizes, so you can choose what you think your gift recipient will like best.
Your Mom or Mother Figure
Mother’s Day is just around the corner. Don’t wait until the last minute to get a gift for the most important woman in your life. Whether it’s Mom, Grandma or another female role model you love and cherish, now is the tim to show her how much she means to you. And what better way to do that than with the sentimental, meaningful, and lifelong gift of jewelry?
“For moms, I like to suggest something a little sentimental, like a diamond pendant,” says Andy Cline. “Shared memories mean a lot to our moms, because those family moments are so rewarding — they’re a reminder that all the hard work of motherhood is worth it.”
Let the gift of jewelry capture a feeling and a memory that your mom or mother figure can carry with her forever. Diamond pendants are a gift she’ll hold close to her heart — literally and figuratively!

Your Daughter
“A piece of simple diamond jewelry is such a meaningful gift for a teenage daughter,” says Andy Cline. “During those high school years, it’s important to start giving your kids gifts that will last a lifetime — things they can treasure after they leave the nest.” For a girl just starting her jewelry collection, Cline suggests a pair of small diamond studs or a simple diamond bezel pendant. “It’s one of those ‘forever’ gifts,” Cline says. “It’ll outlast clothes, a gift card or even the latest piece of tech.”
For homecoming, prom and beyond, a subtle piece of diamond jewelry makes a big statement. A piece like this pavé diamond initial pendant is fun and trendy, but still elegant and versatile. Diamond jewelry is a great way to show your daughter that you’re proud of the person she’s becoming, and that you can’t wait to watch her shine wherever she goes next.
