What should we remember when we finally decide to go for diamond stud earrings? From finding the perfect size and shape to deciding on the metal setting, choosing the right diamond stud earrings can be daunting. It doesn’t have to be! Here’s all the information you need before looking for the right jewellery retailer.
Choose the right size and shape.
Size and shape are the two most important factors to consider. The size of the diamonds should be proportionate to the size of your face. If you have a small face, choose smaller diamonds, like the Cheer Cluster Diamond Stud Earrings or the Jovial Diamond Stud Earrings. Opt for larger diamonds like the Asyrah Ornate Diamond Stud Earrings for those with a larger face. When it comes to shape, the most popular choice is the brilliant round cut, as it is the most sparkly. If you’re looking for something unique, consider other shapes such as the oval, marquise, or pear.
Select the right metal setting.
The metal setting of your diamond stud earrings is just as important as the diamonds themselves. The most popular metal settings for diamond studs are yellow and white gold. The white gold setting is best for those who want a more sleek and contemporary look, and the Framed Lotus Diamond Stud Earrings make a perfect example. Yellow gold is best for those who prefer a more classic and traditional look, and you would make the right statement wearing the Laynti Diamond Stud Earrings. For a more modern look, consider platinum, i.e., if you can stretch your budget because platinum is the most expensive choice. You won’t go wrong with the Sparkling Whorl Platinum Stud Earrings or the Bouquet Platinum Stud Earrings. But if you want a vintage look, you can get the Ayla Diamond Stud Earrings in rose gold.
Consider the clarity and colour.
There is no selecting the perfect diamond stud earrings without considering the clarity and colour of the stones. Clarity affects the sparkle element more than anything else. Some diamonds may have a few blemishes that will dim the sparkle factor, and you will want to go for those with the tiniest imperfection. As for colour, you’ll want to choose a diamond with an I or J colour grade. These colours are the most popular and will give your diamond studs a beautiful sparkle. However, if the price is no object, you could go for Grade D, which is colourless and the most expensive.
Know the 4 Cs
Knowing the 4 Cs is an integral part of buying diamonds in any form. The 4 Cs refer to cut, colour, clarity, and carat. The cut is the shape of the diamond, the colour is the hue, the clarity is the level of imperfections, and the carat is the weight. To know more, refer to our diamond buying guide.
Once you’ve decided on the size, shape, metal setting, clarity, and colour of your diamond stud earrings and your budget, it’s time to start shopping around. Don’t be afraid to compare prices and shop for the best deal. After all, diamonds are forever, and you may want to wear your diamonds to the exclusion of almost all else! So, when shopping for diamond stud earrings, look for reputable retailers with a good return policy. Also, look for GIA or AGS-certified diamonds, as these are the most reliable sources of quality diamonds.
The love for diamonds is nothing new. At one time, only a few could afford to add diamonds to their collection. Luckily, that’s not true anymore. Beautiful designs, quality diamonds, and excellent craftsmanship have made diamond studs affordable and within reach of every woman.
