Diamond Stud Earrings

While we all want to give that perfect gift this holiday, it’s important to do a little research. When it comes to earrings, all are not created equal.

Size, of course, is a big consideration. If you’re buying a pair of earrings for your wife or mother, take a look at the earrings she currently wears. Heavy earrings may not suit your diamond-stud wearing wife!

Here’s a little more basic info on earrings so when you choose a pair, you can choose wisely:

• Chandelier – very popular the last few years. As the name implies this style of earring has multi-level branches that hang down from the earring base. Normally gemstone briolettes (tear drop shaped gems) hang from the branches.




• Drop – usually one larger gemstone, geometric shape or charm hangs from the earring base normally facing forward. Some drop earrings combine a charm and a gemstone. The basic design of the drop requires the earring to hang in a straight line from base to end.




• Hoop – Angelina Jolie is the queen of the gold hoop earrings. As the name implies this earring is round or slightly oval and runs through the piercing in your ear. Hoops come in many circumferences from quite tiny to shoulder dusting.




• Stud – Round gemstone earring with a post and earnut that goes through the post at the back of your ear to hold the earring on. Diamond studs are a classic look that are appropriate worn with ripped jeans to evening gowns.

Types of earring hangers:

• Fish Hook – this is a type of earring hanger. As the name implies the part that goes through your ear resembles a fish hook




• French Hoop – a rounded hanger that is open at the bottom to allow it to past through your piercing.




• Leverback – made for both pierced and non-pierced earrings. The back of the hanger flips up to press against the back of your ear to hold the earring in place.




• Screw On – non-pierced earring hangers with a terminator that screws up against the back of your ear to hold the earring in place. Rarely seen now except with vintage earrings. Most screw on earrings are extremely uncomfortable to wear for any length of time.

Moissanite is becoming increasingly popular during a trying economy, no doubt. It provides the sparkle and grandeur of a diamond for a fraction of the cost. But it’s not just about the pricetag. Moissanite is eco-friendly and for the savvy shopper, this is becoming increasingly relevant.

Here are a few more points on moissanite you want to ponder:

Moissanite chips easily. FALSE.

Moissanite comes in different grades of color and clarity. FALSE.

More than one company manufactures moissanite. FALSE.

Moissanite is a man-made diamond. FALSE.

Moissanite IS NOT a diamond nor a diamond simulant. Diamond is pure carbon [C]. Moissanite is composed of the compound silicon carbide [SiC] Moissanite is a laboratory created jewel. Naturally occurring moissanite is extremely rare and found only in microscopic crystals that are too small to use in jewelry. Each moissanite jewel is grown in the laboratory from a moissanite seed crystal. It takes months from start to finish to grow a single jewel. Created diamonds are grown by a similar process.
