Explore ten facts you didn't know about your diamond.

Choose the Style

Choose the Size

Solitaire diamond stud earrings tend to vary somewhere between one and two carats. One-carat diamond stud earrings are a good compromise, especially when you want to add tiny diamond studs to a second or third ear-piercing. Are they a gift?

If you are looking for the perfect gift for a woman, but you have not found what you are looking for, diamond stud earrings are a lovely idea. When you don't know the size she would prefer, opt for classic one-carat diamond stud earrings—they will make a sweet and thoughtful gift.

Consider Non-Traditional Styles

Designers innovate a lot when it comes to the shapes of diamond stud earrings. If you already have a classic pair, boost your collection with flower-inspired diamond studs; studs featuring pearls and diamonds; smaller diamond clusters; diamond circles; or diamond huggies! Diamond studs look appropriate for any dress code and add the perfect light to other jewelry pieces when you dress for evenings out.

How to Pick a Diamond for My Diamond Stud Earrings?

It is important to remember the 4C’s (clarity, cut, color, and carat) when choosing diamonds. For diamond studs, opt for carat and cut first. Carat will affect the size of your diamond studs. The larger, the more they will attract attention. The Cut of a diamond is essential for scintillation and brightness because of each cut's proportions and symmetry.

Then, you can look for diamonds with Color grades that are not too yellow or brownish because these shades can make a diamond look dull. Diamonds of lower Clarity can have inclusions and blemishes; however, these are more difficult to see when it comes to diamond stud earrings. Our tip is to focus on carat, color, and cut.
