Every relationship has different stages. And it is equally important to celebrate each stage. It doesn’t matter if your relationship is new or if you have been married for years - the perfect piece of jewelry will always help you create a memorable moment for you and your partner.
We at Golden Bird Jewel believe that lab grown diamond gifts are the perfect way to mark these special times in your life. They're beautiful, affordable, and better for the planet. Plus, we've designed our lab grown diamond collection to suit every stage of your love story.
So let’s take a look at what jewelry gifts you can give to your significant other at different stages of your relationship.
Stage 1: Just Started Dating
When you’re in those thrilling early stages of a new relationship, you want to show you care about the other person without coming on too strong. This is for the best jewelry gifts for couples who are getting to know each other are sweet, but won’t scare your new relationship off.
Perfect Gift Ideas:
- Dainty lab grown diamond pendant: A simple, elegant piece she can wear every day
- Minimalist stud earrings: Classic and versatile - they go with everything
We design these pieces to be understated but special. Our lab created diamond jewelry collection has beautiful options that say "I'm thinking of you" without saying too much too soon.
Stage 2: The First Milestone (3-6 months)
Stage 2 in a relationship is when you’ve completed being together for a couple of months and things are more consistent. This is when you can get slightly more personal with your jewelry gift ideas for a girlfriend while keeping it fun and low key.
Great Options Include:
- Lab grown diamond bracelet: Something she can stack or wear alone
- Birthstone necklace with lab grown accents: Personal but not too serious
We make sure our designs work for everyday wear. You want to give her something she'll actually put on regularly, not something that sits in a jewelry box. Our affordable engagement rings style doesn't have to wait until you're engaged - these designs work beautifully for milestone gifts too.
Stage 3: Anniversary or "I Love You" Stage
This is when things get real. After you’ve told your partner that you love them, you would want to give a gift that would probably reflect your level of commitment. Now is when you go for a more genuine and romantic jewelry gift that literally says you’re getting serious about your future together.
Perfect Choices:
- Lab grown diamond rings:(not engagement rings, but statement pieces)
- Personalized couple bands: Matching pieces that connect you both
We love making lab grown diamond rings for this stage because you get all the shimmer and beauty of the real thing, and it’s ethical and far less expensive.That means you can get something truly stunning without breaking your budget.
Stage 4: Engagement
It was time to lay it all on the line. Doesn’t matter if your tastes are more old-fashioned or contemporary - with lab-created diamond jewelry, there’s no need to make sacrifices for the engagement ring of your dreams.
The Ultimate Gift:
- Custom engagement rings with lab-grown diamonds
We have plenty of customization available, so you'll be able to make it your own. Our quality guarantee ensures that you receive a certified, natural stone that will last forever. Lab grown diamonds are the same as mined diamonds, as far as you’re concerned - they just cost less and aren’t bad for the environment.
Stage 5: Wedding
You would need something very special for your wedding day for you to remember for years to come. Hence, you can go for jewelry that is beautiful and timeless.
Wedding Day Essentials:
- Matching wedding bands with lab grown diamonds
- Bridal jewelry sets: Complete your wedding look
We want our wedding collection to center around things that you’ll feel great wearing and photo beautifully. These are jewelry for anniversaries that you'll be celebrating for decades to come.
Stage 6: After Marriage, Celebrate The Occasional Milestone
The final stage is when you have settled down after marriage and want to celebrate occasional milestones. Just because you are married it does not mean that the jewelry gifts will stop. There are birthdays, promotions, work anniversaries, and the special ‘just because’ moment that you can celebrate with your partner.
Jewelry for relationship milestones:
- Tennis bracelets: Classic pieces that never go out of style
- Eternity bands: Perfect for major anniversaries
We make these pieces to match the jewelry she already has. They should feel like natural contestants in the lineup of what she already owns, not novelty players for a one- (or two-) time event.
Why Choose Lab-Grown Diamonds for Every Stage

Here's what makes lab grown diamond gifts perfect for celebrating your relationship milestones:
- They look identical to mined diamonds: Same sparkle, same brilliance, same durability
- Better for the planet: Created in controlled environments without environmental damage
- More affordable: Usually 30-40% less expensive, which means more sparkle for your budget
- Certified quality: We provide certification for every stone, so you know exactly what you're getting
We don’t think that eco friendly diamond jewelry should come at the cost of beauty or quality. Our lab grown diamonds are certified according to the same standards that an earth mined diamond is, but they carry none of the stigma attached to the diamond mining industry and fit in perfectly with our modern values of both environmental protection, and human rights.

How to Care for Lab-Grown Diamond Jewelry

We always tell our customers that taking care of their lab grown diamond jewelry isn't complicated, but it makes a huge difference. You want these beautiful pieces to keep sparkling for decades, right?
Here's what we recommend:
-
Cleaning at home is easy. Get a soft toothbrush (one you don't use anymore works perfectly), mix some gentle dish soap with warm water, and give your jewelry a light scrub.
-
Keep the harsh stuff away. We've seen jewelry damaged by cleaning products like bleach or even some perfumes. Put your jewelry on after you've finished with makeup and perfume. Also, take it off before doing dishes or cleaning the house. Those rough kitchen sponges can scratch even the toughest settings.
-
Storage matters more than you think. Diamonds might be super hard, but they can scratch other jewelry (and get scratched by harder stones). We suggest keeping each piece in its own little pouch or compartment.
- Get a checkup once a year. Have the settings checked regularly by a professional
If cared for properly, your pieces will look as great on your 50th wedding anniversary as they did on your first date.
