Buying jewelry is never an easy task. It acts as a valuable asset for several years. But before we purchase it is very important to assess their quality. There are several jewelry manufacturers in the market and it is quite common for few poor quality diamonds to get mixed with the stocks. Jewelry is bought for several reasons and some of them are currency value, wealth display and storage, occasional uses of wearing for big functions, symbolism, protection and artistic display. Wealth is also stored in the form of jewels along with money. Though diamond rings are the most popular for wedding engagements, diamond studs have also become popular thanks to their quality and styles.
Diamond has physical qualities, optical characteristics, wide transparency, high optical dispersion and other mechanical properties as well. It is these qualities of a diamond when it is worn as earrings or rings or bracelets of necklaces that glitters and makes us look elegant and more beautiful. It is not just meant for women, nowadays men and kids can wear them as well. The earrings range from small loops to large plates. They also come in non pierced fashion called as clip-on. Clip-on need not be pierced on to your ears, they are rather a curved band of metal that is pressed on to the ear and it stays on pinching to the ear.
You also have magnetic earrings which stick to the skin of the earlobe with the help of a magnet behind the helix portion. Hook rings has a hook which comes under the pierce varieties and it hooks on to your ears once worn after piercing. Traditional earrings contain a screw which can be screwed behind your ear lobe for exact adjustment.
Setting style is pretty critical when it comes purchasing earrings for your loved one. If the weight of the diamond stud is less than 1 carat, any setting mentioned below would pretty much do.
Crown Setting Style: The heavy weight of this setting makes your earlobe droopy. It is a solid metal cup with oval cutouts extending into the 4 prongs that secure the diamond.
Basket Setting Style: Diamond studs are mounted in a basket setting and this balances the weight more evenly. This makes the earrings appear in a straight forward manner. It is a lighter open wire with a hoop at the bottom and 4 perpendicular prong lines. The diamond should set low in the basket for a proper fit
Martini Setting Style: It is the best selling settings and pretty difficult ones to find too in the market.
The diamond rests nearer to the earlobe and thus providing the earring a neat straight forward look. The diamond is held by 3 pongs instead of 4. There is less metal covering than the stone and thus shows off the brilliance and fire of the diamond effectively.
You also do have the Euro wire and lever-back settings but they are not considered as diamond stud but nonetheless it looks quite pretty
