Often, the perfect gift for Mom is diamond jewelry simply because diamonds are a girl's best friend. Your mom deserves diamonds if only because she is a precious gem that kept your family together with her brilliance in parenting, her toughness in protecting the family and her colorful personality. Still, diamonds can cost you more than your arm and leg to pay! So, what is a loving daughter to do? Well, you can apply the 4 Cs of diamonds in finding the perfect gift for Mom without purchasing the real thing. Carat/Cost Carat refers to the weight of the diamond. You probably read of celebrities' engagement rings that are described in carat terms followed by exclamation points, which should give you an idea of how important carat can be for boasting contests. When it comes to finding the perfect gift for your mom, however, you need not boast as to the cost. Not only is that tacky in polite society, but you are taking away the true value of the gift - its thoughtfulness. Instead, you have to balance between your budget constraints and your better judgment of your mother's personality when it comes to finding "the gift" for her. Remember, "cost" is definitely not equivalent to "most" when it comes to the perfect gift for Mom! Cut/Care Your gift ideas are diamonds in the rough. As much as you have to cut diamonds with extreme caution to bring out its brilliance and scintillation, you have to choose gifts with thoughtful care to bring out its meaning and significance. You have to consider your beloved mother's interests, personality, wishes and desires to choose the most meaningful gift you can give. After all, master cutters perform their job by cutting diamonds to reflect maximum light; you, on the other hand, must choose gifts to reflect positive light on your mom and yourself. Indeed, when you think of your mother first and yourself second, you would have chosen the most perfect gift for Mom that any loving daughter can think of! Color/Cover As much as diamonds come in every color of the rainbow in their natural state, your gift can be wrapped in every color of the rainbow, too, with lots of prints and themes to boot! But of course, you cannot just use every gift wrapper as much as you do not buy diamonds just because you love the color. Or the absence of color, for the more expensive diamond types. Instead, for the most perfect gift for Mom you can think of, you have to cover it with the most perfect wrapper, too! For example, you have to use top-of-the-quality wrapper for special occasions like birthdays and Mother's Days with elaborate ribbons rather than the straight-out-of-the-box gifts. Indeed, the beauty of gifts starts with the beauty of wrappers. And it does not hurt to build the suspense either! Clarity/Conditions You can determine the clarity of diamonds under 10 times magnification to look for flaws/blemishes. The lesser the blemishes, the more valuable the diamond - this is the general rule. For your gift to mom, this does not necessarily mean that you have to find the most flawless gift you can find. Rather, this means that your intentions will pass the scrutiny of the heart of hearts and your gift is appropriate for the occasion and circumstances. If possible, subject your heart and your intentions to emotional magnification to determine if you only have the best of intentions. And this is how you choose the most perfect gift for Mom with diamonds in mind without diamonds in hand!
