Diamond Earrings Basics

As the saying goes "Diamonds are a girl’s best friend". As the hardest naturally occurring substance found on this earth with rare and unique qualities, a gift of diamond jewelry will always be appreciated by the girl in your life. The range of jewelry in which diamonds are set grows daily with the most popular gift item this year likely to be diamond earrings.

Whether you’re considering a pair of diamond stud earrings or something a little more exotic like a pair of diamond dangle earrings, you have an enormous range of things to consider. Here are a few thoughts that you should consider:

• What sort of metal should your diamond be set in? Common options include 14k yellow or white gold, or platinum
• What sort of design are you considering? Are you going for a single stone or multiple stones? If you’re going for multiple stones will they be of the same size or different sizes?
• What sort of clasp would you like?
• How much money do you want to spend? (I’m sure your girl will want you to spend as much as possible). Fortunately these days you can spend as little as $250 all the way up to $25,000 on a pair of diamond earrings.

One of my favorite things about diamond earrings is the simple versatility they offer as a gift. If you’re looking for a birthday gift for a stylish and elegant lady who enjoys designer evening where, a pair of diamond stud earrings is perfect. If you’re looking for an anniversary gift after 10 years of marriage for your wife and mother of two children, who spends most of her time knee deep in daily chores, a pair of diamond stud earrings is perfect. Whatever the occasion or individual you can’t go wrong with earrings.

Where is the best place to buy diamond earrings?

You’ve got a huge range of options. From your local jewelry store where everyone in your family buys their diamond jewelry engagement rings to the big department stores like Macy’s. Not surprisingly I would advocate buying online?

Why?

Simply because you can’t beat the price, quality and therefore ultimately the value for money. An online store has no low overheads and can sell diamond jewelry at a price a high street store simply can not match.

Irrespective of where you choose to buy, make sure you’re fully versed in the 4 C’s of diamonds. You can get an overview of each of these factors and how they interplay with each other at our next article.
