Sparkle with Confidence: How to Buy the Perfect Diamond Studs

← Back to Our Blog

Diamond stud earrings are a classic, elegant choice that can elevate any look. When choosing diamond studs, many people prefer settings in 14 or 18-karat white or yellow gold. White gold is often favoured because its silver-white color complements the diamond, ensuring the claws don’t affect the diamond’s natural brilliance. In contrast, yellow gold settings can sometimes cast a slight tint onto the diamonds. Both metals have their charm, but white gold is especially popular for maximizing the sparkle of your stones.

 

When it comes to diamond shapes, you have plenty of options. The classic round shape is a timeless favorite, but other shapes like oval, princess, and cushion cuts offer a unique twist on tradition. Each shape brings a different kind of brilliance and personality, so it’s worth considering what suits your style best.

 Another important decision is the type of backing for your earrings. Friction backs have become increasingly popular due to their ease of use and security. They feature a locking mechanism that keeps the earrings secure, while screw backs, although once favored, can loosen over time and fall off.
