Your guide to buying diamond earrings

The first important thing to note about buying diamond earrings is that they come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes, with options in every conceivable budget. They make the perfect gift and will go with any women's wardrobe. Everyone knows that diamonds are a girls best friend, and you're unlikely to go wrong buying diamond earrings for the girl in your life.

Here's a few things to remember when buying a diamond:

  • The better quality (in terms of cut, clarity and size or carat) diamonds will be more expensive. As a rule of thumb the greater the clarity, size and quality of cut of diamond the bigger the price tag. 
  • Diamonds will sparkle period. The bigger the diamond the greater the sparkle. Therefore you are better off going for a 1 carat diamond with slight flaws in cut and clarity than a perfect 1/2 carat diamond. The larger diamond will give off a much stronger "brilliance" 

The design choice is endless, but there are some that are more popular than others. These include:

  • Diamond stud earrings 
  • Diamond hoop earrings 
  • Diamond Dangle earrings 

Each of the above designs come in a range of different metals, the most popular being:

  • 18k white gold 
  • 18k yellow gold 
  • Platinum 

Finally you have a choice of diamond shape. Again the most popular being:

  • Brilliant round (perfect circle) 
  • Princess cut (square) 

Each type are created in a range of budgets and we've grouped together our best finds by price.
