Diamond Stud Earrings

As each diamond is born with its unique characteristics, buying a pair of diamond studs requires some level of technical understanding and gemological knowledge.

To get the most beautiful diamonds studs and the best value for your budget, here are some quick tips that you will want to consider when buying a pair of diamond studs:

1. Carat. You will want your diamonds to have a similar carat weight. Ideally, both studs should have a maximum difference in carat weight of 0.05. That is, if a diamond weighs 0.80 carats, its counterpart should be at most 0.85 or 0.75 carats.

2. Color. Buying a D, E, or F color on diamond studs earrings would be a waste of your money. Nobody will notice highly graded diamonds, nor will they notice that one diamond is G color, while the other H.

3. Clarity. While the clarity grade will depend on your budget, it is not advisable to emphasize clarity. Since most diamond stud earrings are small in size, a lower clarity grade will be barely noticeable when worn.

4. Cut. The cut grade of the diamonds is one of the most important factors when choosing a pair of diamond studs. You will want the cut grade to be between Excellent and Good to get the liveliest diamonds.

There’s no exact answer for this question as the ideal size for diamond stud earrings depends on your personal taste and its price. Personal taste comes down to the color, cut, and setting; while the price comes down to the 4Cs. There’s no one size fits all when it comes to diamond stud earrings as everyone has their own unique taste. As such, the size that may be perfect for one person could be too big or small for another person.

However, the most popular size for diamond stud earrings worn by most women is 1ctw. 1ctw (carat total weight) features two 0.50 carat diamonds, with each pair of 0.50-carat diamond measuring around 5mm in diameter. This size is more popular than the others because of its versatility, as it can be worn both every day and for special occasions; and a lot of women find this size to work beautifully well for them with both casual and upscale clothing.

It is important to understand carat total weight (ctw) when shopping for a pair of diamond stud earrings to avoid mistakes. With that said, the carat total weight, which is the weight of the diamond within the studs will be listed whenever you’re shopping. So, if you want to get a pair of 1ctw round diamond studs, each of the two diamonds within the pair of diamond stud earrings will weigh 0.50ctw. Ultimately, the final decision for the best size comes down to personal taste and budget. The most important factor to note is that the diamond stud suits your need; whether for everyday wear or for special occasions.

Unlike buying a diamond ring, color and clarity are not so important when shopping for diamond stud earrings; and, also diamond stud earrings can be obscured by long hair.

Clarity is a measure of the inclusions and blemishes inside and outside of the diamond. The higher the clarity grade of a diamond, the clearer the diamond, however, this doesn’t translate to how sparkly a diamond is. The clarity of a diamond is graded from FL (Flawless) to VS2 (Very Slightly Included), down to I2 (Included). However, the best clarity for diamond stud earrings is SI1 (Slightly Included); although, it is unlikely to see its inclusions and blemishes with the naked eye. While the most expensive diamond studs is a higher clarity like VVS1 (Very, Very Slightly Included), which should be avoided to save costs.

The color of a diamond stud earring can be graded in two ways; from the colorless scale, which is applicable for colorless diamonds, and the colored diamonds. At the top of the scale are colorless diamonds which are graded with a D, while the diamonds at the bottom of the scale are graded with a Z; which are diamonds with yellow or gray hues. It’s advisable not to buy diamonds at the top of the color scale, as we don’t often view earrings up close, and it's unlikely for someone to tell if your diamond studs are an E or a G. However, H-J color grades are the best for diamond stud earrings as they’re just as good and will save you money on your purchase; plus H color diamonds and D color diamonds look nearly identical and share similar features; with H grade being more affordable.

In order to get the highest quality diamond stud earring with the right color and clarity to suit your budget, it’s important to shop from a trustworthy vendor like Abelini where we have a vast variety of diamond stud earrings.

The two major things to consider when choosing a setting are the design of your setting and your choice of backing. The two best setting designs to choose from are prong and bezel settings.

1. Prong Setting: This setting exposes the diamond, enabling more of the stone to be seen. This setting allows more light into the diamond, which causes it to sparkle more, and also makes it appear a bit larger. However, prong settings a bit more upkeep to ensure they do slip out of place thus, resulting in the potential loss of your stone. This means occasionally get the setting checked.

2. Bezel Setting: This setting circles the diamond almost completely, mostly showing only the top of the diamond thus, providing protection to the diamond against any wear and tear, and also providing security from being dislodged.

In the case of diamond stud earrings, there are also other things to consider when choosing a setting. You’ll want to consider a setting that enhances sparkle, maximize the size of your diamond, and provides security for your diamond.

1. Setting that enhances sparkle: To maximize your diamond sparkle, opt for the least amount of metal on the stone as less metal equals more diamond being visible to the eye. Opt for a setting with 3 or 4 prongs as an eye-catching choice.

2. Settings that maximize the size of your diamond: Prong settings also maximize the size of your diamond, as it covers the least amount of the surface of the diamond thus, exposing the diamond more. If you’re looking for a larger sizes diamond, opt for a prong setting to expose as much of the surface of the diamond as possible.

3. Settings that provide security of your diamond: The main security concern of diamond stud is ensuring the diamond doesn’t fall out of its settings. The best security for your diamond is offered by a bezel setting, as a thin metal strip is pushed around the gem to secure it; which also means a part of the diamond’s surface area will be covered. However, a white metal bezel can make a colorless diamond appear larger even while it provides the best security.

There’s no exact amount as it depends on several factors ranging from the type of diamond, the carat weight, type of setting, the style, the brand, and your budget. However, it can cost from £100 to over £30,000 for red carpet-worthy for diamond stud earrings. Ultimately, the price of a diamond stud earring depends solely on your preference and budget. If the size of the diamonds doesn’t matter to you, you’re likely to pay less but if you want large, colorless diamond studs with an excellent cut and free of inclusions, you’ll most likely pay more.

Like any diamond, the price of diamond stud earrings depends mostly on the diamonds’ carat weight and features. For instance, 1.5 carat costs more than a lesser carat, and a diamond with an excellent cut will cost more than a good cut diamond. This also applies to features like color and clarity, as the higher the clarity grade, the higher the price; while for precious metals, rose gold, white, and yellow have similar price, with platinum being the most expensive of the precious metals.

Where you purchase your diamond stud earring also matters; depending on the diamond quality, certification, and overhead costs, the price of the diamond stud can differ. It is important to review the details of the diamonds, the setting, and the vendor before making a purchase to ensure you’re getting quality. And also, have a budget to know exactly It’s important that before you begin shopping exactly how much you’re willing to spend, and stick to it

In the end, there's no exact amount of money a diamond stud should cost. To get the best price that’ll suit your budget, it’s advisable to shoot from a reputable online vendor like Abeline.
