Diamonds Fashion Statement

Diamond studs earrings are accessories that can be worn by both men and women. And more men are buying diamond studs earrings than ever before. The single beautifully cut diamond set in understated gold or silver proves to be a timeless, trendy and now also unisex piece of jewelry.

The traditional diamond studs earring consists of a round diamond with a wide variety of gold, platinum and silver settings, with or without other stones to set it off. The style can be selected to suit the occasion or the outfit, and many jewelers allow the customer to construct their own studs from loose diamonds and a selection of metals and setting styles.

Although the solitaire is generally regarded as the preferred type of diamond for this type of personal adornment, many people like the look of diamond stud earrings comprised of a large colored stone, such as an emerald or ruby, surrounded by a number of small individual diamonds.

The sophistication of a diamond studs earring lies in its simplicity, and you should try to avoid over-complication or too much embellishment. The stone should be clear and well cut, and the setting should be a simple three or four prong claw, as unassuming as possible in order to make the diamond the total focus of attraction. Also, it is of course important that it is a good quality real diamond; so it is always recommended to buy your jewelry from a reliable source, such as Diamonds On Web.

In addition, make sure that you know your jewelry lingo. Some people can be misled by the term ‘diamond cut’, which only means that the stone is cut as a diamond would be and not necessarily that it is a real diamond. For example, if your diamond studs earring is below $100 and the diamond looks a reasonable size, then it is most likely not a real diamond.

Your diamond studs earring's metal is very much a matter of personal choice. Most people like 14 to 18 carat yellow gold, although white gold and platinum are also popular because many people feel that it sets the diamond off well and looks more luxuriant than ordinary gold.

The Diamonds On Web website offers a wide selection of diamond studs earrings, even gives you the option of creating your own diamond studs earrings online - Based on a varitey of quality loose diamonds. However you choose your diamond studs earring, it is a jewelry piece that makes a fashion statement for both men and women.
