Diamond stud earrings are probably the most timeless and elegant accessory a woman could get. It is therefore important to pick the perfect pair.
Although it is of course tempting to go for the bigger diamond with the higher specs, the reality of most people's budget does not allow it.
With a few simple tips, you will manage to find the best diamond stud earrings you can get, and insure that you will wear them proudly for many years to come.
1. Go for a classic design that fits your style.
Unless you have a budget that allows you to purchase several pairs of diamond stud earrings, do not go for too much of an unusual or original design.
Although it's always nice to have a special twist, an extra little something to your valued accessory, the final result should remain classic. This way, you will be able to match your beautiful diamond stud earrings with anything, and won't ever get tired of them.
2. Keep the 4Cs in mind, but determine the ones that matter most to you.
Obviously having a budget means that you'll have to compromise on some aspects of the diamonds for your stud earrings. It is important to determine your desired (and realistic) Carat weight, and to find the right balance between the Color, Clarity and Cut.
Should you decide to go with Yellow Gold stud earrings, go for lower color grades, as the color of the metal will slightly reflect on the diamond anyway.
3. Check out online jewelry stores
With their entire inventory online, these stores can significantly reduce their costs and therefore offer much lower prices on stud earrings and other items than your local jewelry store.
Of course, check reviews online, and make sure you try calling or emailing customer support to get an idea of their level of service. Look for guarantees (McAffee Secured, BBB Accredited and such) and make sure you feel comfortable with the way they work (return policies and such).
Once that part is secured, you can make amazing deals and get beautiful diamond stud earrings for a great price.
