Diamond earrings

$1,000-$20,000

Is a Diamond Earrings Tax Deductible?

Short answer: No: Diamond earrings is a personal luxury purchase and not a business expense.

Even branded or 'image' purchases for business owners fail the IRS ordinary-and-necessary test. Jewelry sold as business inventory is the exception.

Records to keep: Keep the receipt or invoice and an estimate of business-use percentage.
