Diamond Stud Earrings were quite a heated subject of discussion between a boy and girl in one of the unlikely couples in the classic film “The Breakfast Club”, but in the end they became a symbol of all the things each person had learned about the other and the understanding and level of caring they had reached. If you also remember that scene, then you know why nothing but real Diamond Stud Earrings would have been as effective or meaningful. Their beauty, value, and significance when given as gifts make Diamond Stud Earrings some of the most beloved and most beautiful of earring and diamond jewelry choices. They cast sparkle and brightness upon the lobes of the ears, bringing attention to the face and particularly the eyes. It has even been speculated that diamond stud earrings look so lovely on every woman because they reflect more light onto the face. A pair of diamond stud earrings is classic enough for a dress occasion but dress up any casual outfit or occasion as well. Many women are never caught without their diamond stud earrings.
Choosing the shape of your diamond is always one of the most fun parts of shopping for diamond jewelry like diamond stud earrings. For a graduation present some other type of milestone family gift for a young woman, half carat or full carat diamond stud earrings are a great choice. The marquise, pear, and round shapes are all very good shapes for this kind of gift because they are so versatile. Diamond stud earrings are a staple of a stylish woman’s wardrobe, and as a gift to a young woman, the pair she receives are most likely to be her starter set. But there are many elegant shapes aside from these timeless classics. Square and princess cut are a safe bet if the person you’re shopping for is a little different or artistic but still appreciates a fine piece of jewelry. There are many cuts to choose from too. The finer and more intricate the cut, the more the diamond will sparkle. However a finer cut necessitates that more of the diamond be cut away, which shrinks your precious gem and adds to the costs. You do not have to buy the finest cut or clearest stone available in order to find a nice diamond. The naked eye cannot detect differences of a grade or two, yet these differences can effect cost up to 400 percent.

Diamond Stud Earrings, a very traditional birthday and holiday gift for women, are a staple of every elegant woman’s wardrobe. These classic sparklers, though generally small and understated, are always a tasteful and beautiful complement to any wardrobe and occasion. The modern practice of giving ladies diamond stud earrings as a gift may have started with Tiffany and Co., but there is no need to pay Tiffany’s prices, as the same quality of diamonds are now available from many online retailers with considerably less markup than the famous names but no less actual value. They are a hit at family gatherings where gifts are exchanged because they are sure to impress. Girlfriends, wives, and mothers are elated to receive diamond stud earrings from their loved ones, and small diamond stud earrings also make wonderful graduation gifts for daughters. Round Diamond Stud Earrings are the extremely traditional choice, but modern designers and fashionable women are not quite as bound by convention in this day and age as in the past, so there are now many cuts and shapes of diamond stud earrings available. Personally, I find the many carat sizes and styles of Princess Cut Diamond Stud Earrings absolutely stunning. To really stand out, diamond stud earrings can also be designed in cuts like oval, marquise, pear, and teardrop shapes. These breathtaking gems are most often set in three or four prong settings of 14kt white gold, which nicely accents the pale color of the diamonds. For wearers with metal sensitivities, diamond studs with platinum settings are recommended, as platinum is hypoallergenic and adverse reactions to the nickel alloy in 14kt white gold can be especially strong since the post of an earring actually goes through a part of the body (as opposed to a ring or necklace which only goes around.) Platinum is also the ideal choice for those seeking jewelry of the very best quality, as it is the most valuable of the precious metals.

Diamond studs can also be set in many other ways, and this is often seen with princess and square cut diamonds that look lovely surrounded by a secure bezel setting in a diamond stud. Diamond stud earrings are made with either the standard push back fasteners, or a more secure back that screws on, which I recommend particularly with larger diamonds– they are both more valuable and heavier, so a little more fuss in putting them on is well worth the catastrophe of losing one of your precious earrings!
