Diamond Stud Earrings for the Uninitiated!
Diamond stud earrings are an elegant and simple way to add
to an existing jewelry collection. Diamond stud earrings
have stood the test of time, dating back to the 18th
century, and have now become a fashion classic. While it
would appear that because of their simplicity, diamond stud
earrings would be a simple item to purchase, there are a few
things to keep in mind.
Diamond studs earrings are usually round or princess cut
diamonds set in white gold, yellow gold or platinum, with
four or six prongs securing the stone. Pressure clasps and
screw-on clasps are available, with the screw-on variety
usually only seen on more expensive stones, as they give
added security to your expensive diamond stud earrings. As
always with any diamond purchase, you’ll want to keep in
mind the 4C’s; color, cut, clarity and carats.
