So now when you have enough compelling reasons to own a pair of diamond stud earrings, here are a few important things listed that you should know about studs and diamonds:
- When buying a diamond, the 4C’s (color, cut, clarity and carat value) are the most important to ask for. Whereas, while buying diamond studs, the cut of the stone and carat weight hold the highest significance. A perfect diamond has 57 angles on it and if each of these angles is perfectly cut, the stone will reflect maximum light and exhibit utmost brilliance. Otherwise, the light will leak out from the sides without getting reflected.
- The carat weight of the pair told to you by the jeweler is often the total weight of the two or the total number of diamonds used in the pair. For instance, a pair of 1 carat with two diamonds would mean each diamond has 0.5 carat value which makes a total of 1 carat for the pair. The case is same for all types of diamond earrings.
- The shape is important. The most popular shape of diamond earrings is round though; these are available in a huge range of shapes and sizes these days. Only when you try these different shapes and sizes, you will get to know what suits you the best. The other popular shapes are princess cut or square, oval, marquise, pear, cushion or rounded square, emerald, asscher or eight-sided square, trillion or triangular and heart-shaped stone. When worn, the stone tends to spin on the ear. So with irregular shapes like square and heart, this might bother you while a round shaped stud will always look the same even if it keeps spinning.
- The value of the diamond will increase with its size and depending upon the four C’s. These days, many jewelers are offering customizing options in sizing. So if you have something in mind regarding the size, ask for it.
- Screw-on back is the best and the most reliable securing option for your studs. It’s good to be careful while wearing them for the first few days so that any maintenance requirement can be fulfilled before any loss.
