There are many reasons which inspire the men who do give jewellery to their partners to do so – some are personal and some due to society’s expectations.
One of the most superficial and popular reasons that men give jewellery is that they feel they are expected to do so. Laziness also factors into it – perhaps they can’t think of anything else for a birthday or Christmas present? In some cases choosing a plain pair of diamond earrings might be easier, in terms of effort, than putting some real thought and effort into what their partner actually wants.
The battle for status uses jewellery as a commodity. Men in a social group may find themselves subtly competing with each other to provide their partners with expensive jewellery. The women may not notice, or perhaps they contribute to the status warfare themselves, comparing new gifts at every available opportunity.
The men who give jewellery for less cynical reasons are likely to spend more time (as opposed to money) considering what their partner’s tastes are and the type of jewellery they would actually enjoy, treasure and – most importantly – wear.
These men would say that it makes them feel connected to their partners when they wear an item of diamond jewellery which they have given them. They would also say that they feel a sense of pride at being the provider, and that the jewellery is a symbol of the connection between the couple.
For men who seek that closeness and recognition of the relationship, this consideration makes the jewellery they buy their partners truly priceless.
