Diamond stud earrings are jewelry with one diamond, typically prong set on each earring, without any other accompanying stones, and worn on the earlobe.
While round brilliant cuts are the most popular for their universal appeal and maximum sparkle, princess cuts and other shapes like oval or pear can also be elegant choices depending on individual preference.
Typical settings for stud earrings include prongs (often four or six prongs) and bezels. The best setting can depend on the desired look, the diamond's security, and how the earrings sit on the wearer's earlobe.
The best size often depends on personal preference, budget, and how prominent you want the earrings to appear. Most clients purchase diamond studs between 0.75 to 1.50 carats in total weight.
It is best to clean diamond studs using warm water and mild soap, gently brushing with a soft-bristled brush. You can also get them professionally cleaned. Ensure the earring backings are secure to prevent loss.
Yes, for a pair of diamond stud earrings, both diamonds must be symmetrical in terms of size, shape, and quality to ensure they look harmonious when worn.
Popular backings include push-back, screw-back, and la pousette backs. The choice often depends on security and comfort preferences. The most accessible and popular backing is the push-back style, but it is the least secure. We recommend using a screw-backing for diamond studs to ensure they are secured safely on your ears.
Choose retailers that offer conflict-free diamonds and adhere to the Kimberley Process. Ethical jewelers will often provide information on the sourcing and origin of their diamonds.
