I want to buy my daughter diamond jewelry for her 10th birthday. She really loves fairy tale stories. Any suggestions?

I really have my heart set on buying my daughter diamond jewelry for her upcoming birthday. Obviously, I don't want to overdo it. I want to get her jewelry which is delicate and dainty, something that is child appropriate. Also, I would like to get her jewelry which is inspired by fairy tales, since she's my little fairy princess. Any suggestions?

Well, diamonds, being as mystical and symbolic as they are, are already a fairy-tale gift. If you want to make sure the diamond gift is age appropriate, there are a few websites and stores out there that have diamond jewelry especially designed for imaginative children. I have seen some diamond charm bracelets with fairy tale character charms, diamond necklaces with pendants that look like the north star, and diamond earrings that are in the shape of castles. I think that Disney might have a high-end diamond jewelry line, so you might want to check out what type of jewelry they have available. Your best bet- use your imagination! :)

Diamonds and fairytales..what pops to mind is prince charming proposing to Cinderella with a huge diamond engagement ring. I'm assuming that that isn't the direction you're going for with your daughter. I personally would avoid buying diamond jewelry for a ten year old, she probably won't appreciate the value of this luxurious gemstone and she may prefer inexpensive colorful gemstone encrusted jewelry instead. Consider getting her turquoise earrings, amethyst embedded bracelets or a pendant mounted with her birthstone. If you insist on buying her diamond jewelry then perhaps you should go with a charm or pendant with a more childish shape, like a fairy or a rocking horse, so the jewelry won't look too grown up.

A nice diamond bracelet is the most appropriate diamond jewelry for a 10 year old in my opinion. Maybe the bracelet design can include some nice fancy gemstones, instead or in addition to diamonds, which could suit her and make her feel like she is a fairy tale princess, without wearing jewelry that is too mature for her age.
