Things You'll Need:
- Diamond sizes
- Special wrapping
-
Step 1
Research the different pendants on the market by checking out department store catalogs, fashion magazines and online jewelry sites. To get an idea of what your partner likes, try taking her on a casual stroll past a row of jewelry store windows and pay attention to which pieces she comments on.
-
Step 2
Get to know the different sizes of diamond solitaire pendants. Diamonds or other gem studs range in price according to their carat weight. A diamond's carat weight is usually represented in either fractions or decimals (1/4 carat or .25 carat weight). Many times a pendant will have one focal-point stone that's flanked by smaller ones.

Step 3
Consider other styles of pendants you can buy to enhance the look and meaning of the Valentine's Day gift. A three-stone diamond pendant symbolizes the past, present and future of your relationship. Some of these eye-catching necklaces come with round, as well as princess-cut stones in a variety of settings.
-
Step 4
Expect to find a style of pendant called a bezel, or slide pendant. These circular bezel pendants feature one diamond in a polished gold cup and the chain slides right behind the solitaire pendant. Buy a bezel pendant for its contemporary appeal and versatility, as it's a good necklace to wear for both work and play.

Step 5
Indulge your Valentine with a sophisticated diamond circle pendant. In essence, a circular pendant is a symbol of eternity and a perfect gift for your wife on Valentine's Day. Many of these pendants boast 20 or more round-cut diamonds. Be sure to get a circle pendant that comes with at least an 18-inch chain so that it hangs well. A box chain works well with this choice of pendant.

Step 6
Take the time to have the bauble wrapped. When you place your pendant in a small velvet box, it seems even more special. If you buy the gift from Tiffany & Co., Cartier, Bulgari or another classic jeweler, save the original box or packaging since many women cherish these as keepsakes.
