Types of Diamond Stud Earrings

A pair of diamond stud earrings can make a charming gift for a variety of occasions. Plus, this jewelry will look stunning for years to come. But which style should you choose? Find the perfect pair of diamond earrings with help from Peter & Co. Jewelers. Here, we'll outline the common types of earrings and what to consider when making your purchase.

Diamond Earring Features

Diamond earrings – especially stud-style earrings – are highly popular pieces of jewelry due to their timeless character and delicate appearance. Since a nice pair of diamond earrings are an essential wardrobe item, you’ll want to consider a few aspects when picking out the perfect style for yourself or a loved one. Consider the following features when visiting our jewelry store:

Carat

The carat is the first element to consider when choosing a pair of diamond stud earrings. This simply refers to the weight of the diamond and is used to distinguish between diamonds of different sizes. The ideal size for diamond stud earrings depends on the shape of your face since different carats match certain shapes better.

Cut

As with carat, the best cut is a personal decision. If you're purchasing a pair of diamond stud earrings as a gift, round-cut earrings are typically the most popular style of diamond stud earrings since they are classic, elegant, and give off a beautiful shine.

Also, consider fancier cuts. Princess, oval, marquise, pear, and heart cuts are all unique options for stud earrings.

Color and Clarity

As with all diamond jewelry, the color and clarity also affect the price of the diamond stud earrings. Popular ranges for diamond studs are G-J color and SI-I1 clarity. However, diamond studs can come in all color and clarity combinations.

Mounting Style

The mounting style is also an important feature to pay attention to. Mounting style is how the stud receives support. You'll find several mounting styles in jewelry stores, such as:

• Prong: The most common mounting style, this one features anywhere from three to eight prongs and does an excellent job of fully showcasing the diamond.
• Bezel: This is the most secure mounting style and holds the diamond tightly with a metal band that wraps around it. A favorite of ours is the Hearts On Fire bezel stud earrings which make the diamonds appear larger than the traditional prong style.
• Halo: This style features one center diamond encased with smaller diamonds all around.

While you can select any diamond stud earrings you admire, recognizing these components will help you make a more informed purchase. If you’re still having trouble finding the best pair of stud earrings that complement yourself or a loved one, consider custom designs from Peter & Co. Jewelers. This service allows you to work with our professional jewelers who can craft the perfect pair of diamond stud earrings for you.
