Display Some Major Bling With Princess Cut Diamond Studs

Most women aspire to own a pair of fine one carat diamond stud earrings. And the first choice has to be a pair of Round brilliant cut prong set studs! The reason for this is clear. The Brilliant cut and the prong setting make a sublime combination ensuring that a flattering amount of sparkle is seen next to the face. And a pair of diamond studs looks good with anything. Their versatility means they can be worn equally well with a smart business suit for a high powered presentation, a casual outfit for a home bake sale, a little black dress for evening or a bikini at the beach! So if you are looking to buy someone special a pair of diamond earrings, diamond studs must be your first choice!

But what if the lady in question already owns some princess diamond stud earrings? What other choices do you have? Colored Diamonds: One of the first alternatives is to buy another pair of diamond studs, but set with a colored diamond instead. Fancy diamonds are increasingly popular and many different hues and colors can be found at relatively affordable prices. For instance, black diamond studs look sensational as they add elegance and sophistication to an outfit yet retain the classic diamond sparkle. Blue, green and yellow diamond studs are also wonderful choices. Dangle Drop Earrings: Another style of diamond earring is the dangle or drop style. Here the diamonds can be as discrete or flashy as you like. For example a simple teardrop earring in which a diamond briolette hangs delicately from a gold or platinum post is a beautiful piece which any woman would be thrilled to receive.

Princess-cut diamonds are shaped like an inverted pyramid – a square top with four beveled edges. It is the second most popular cut for all diamond jewelry. Emerald-cut diamonds are shaped like most emeralds are – a rectangular inverted pyramid. While not a particularly common cut, the shape is familiar and suits rounder faces best. Oval-cut diamonds are very similar in shape to round-cut diamonds, differing only in the shape of the base of the cone. There are other cuts available, like the pear and the heart, but sticking to the classic shapes is always a good idea when buying jewellery without the lady by your side. The size of the diamond, measured in carats, should be smaller as the ear can only hold so much weight. One last piece of advice: Ask the jeweller you are buying from to recommend a pair of one carat diamond stud earrings. They know what they are doing – trust their opinions as well as yours.
