Earring Guide

From timeless classics to today's latest fashion trends, earrings are the most versatile entity of every woman’s jewellery wardrobe. Diamond earrings are always a perfect gift for your mother, daughter, sister, girlfriend, or wife! Your main task is to think about the personality and tastes of the lady you are going to gift.

Diamond Studs are the most traditional and classic choice of earrings. They are essential accessories of a woman's diamond jewellery collection. Diamond studs match Indian, western, casuals or formals.

Though classic, you have a number of settings to choose from. You have a range of diamond studs from traditional four prong settings to bezel settings. Diamonds can have different cuts as well, such as the popular Princess cut.

1. Your budget: Be clear about what your budget. You need to choose wisely to get the best value for your money. The price will depend on the size, colour and carat weight of the diamonds you choose. Mostly the higher the carat weight of the diamond, the more it will cost, but this is not always the case.

2. The Four C’s: The Four C’s of diamond shopping include the cut, carat, clarity and colour of the diamond. The more you know and understand them, the better your decision will be.

3. The style of the setting: The round settings are the most popular, along with the princess and the square shape, but there are many more available

4. Choice of metal: You have a choice between gold, white gold, pink gold, rose gold or platinum and silver settings for the studs.

Chandelier Diamond Earrings

Chandelier diamond earrings are the ‘piece de resistance’ of the diamond earrings family. These earrings are for women who like to make heads turn. They are big and loud, their designs breathtaking, and attract a second look from people as they walk by. The brilliant sparkle of diamonds is showcased with every movement of the head.

Short diamond dangle earrings are for those who wish to be discrete, yet still garner some attention and make a statement about who you are. They are for women with short hair, or for those who always wear their hair up and away from the face.

The longer dangles symbolise a free spirit, someone who doesn't mind being the centre of attention. Women with longer hair can get away with longer diamond danglers as the hair softens the impact of the presentation.

Women pride themselves on having the perfect accessory to match every occasion. Carat Lane’s range of diamond earrings suits everyone. If you cannot find something you like, please let us know and we will custom make any design for you in white gold, yellow gold, rose gold or platinum.

Earring Care

Diamond earrings are very expensive pieces, and should be stored in a soft case, separately from other jewellery pieces. Get them professionally cleaned, and if possible, have them appraised or even insured as further protection. (See Diamond care)
