How to buy diamond stud earring

To buy diamond stud earrings follow the major 4 C’s of buying a diamond. The universal standard followed for determining a diamond’s quality is the GIA 4 C’s:- Color, Clarity, Cut, and Carat weight. Watching out for these C will lead you towards buying the best of the diamonds jewellery you are looking for.

Color

Diamond has the rarest quality in it, that is, it picks the color of the metal it is embedded in. The reason behind such a feature is tiny mirrors that are set in diamond, which reflects the objects which are closed to it. This feature affects the color perception of a diamond. If you want to save on the budget, then you are advised to go for a lower color that you find on D to Z color scale. We’ll describe it in more detail in the coming sections, so hold on to your seat.

Clarity

Problem with diamond stud earrings is that they are small in size, unlike a diamond necklace or a diamond ring where your diamond jewellery will catch the other person’s eye, diamond stud earring will fail to do so because of its size, and generally stud earrings keep hiding behind your hair. This is the reason why we look for an eye-clean diamond when we are looking out for a diamond necklace or diamond ring.

But in the case of diamond stud earrings, some tiny fissures or inclusions will not be visible and can be missing out. If you have budget constraints you can stay satisfied with not so good quality diamond because that won’t change your desire.

Cut

This C is important when looking for options to buy a diamond stud earring. You will probably be looking for a diamond stud earring that can steal the show, which sparkles through the darkness and catches the attention of everybody. Here, ablazing cut of the diamond will do the work. Go for A1 grade of cut for the diamond.

Round, Princess and Asscher cut diamonds stud earrings are the most common ones. These are popular because of their equal proportional cuts that become the perfect fit for a stud earring. The least common are Marquise and pear-shaped diamond cuts, because of the obvious reason, that they lack equal proportion, that is why with such cuts it becomes difficult to buy matching stones that can be a fit for stud earrings. Choosing a shape is your personal preference, so choose a shape that you think will suit your ears.

As these turn out to bring the best look and are bound to grab attention. The round brilliant cut diamond is also pretty favoured in the diamond industry as it is the most optimal diamond-cut given the right carat, Color, and clarity.”

Metal Weight

If you have opted for platinum, it is denser with a specific gravity (mass+ volume). So you may find platinum diamond stud earrings having more weight than the gold diamond stud earring.
