The Secret to Purchasing Beautiful Diamond Stud Earrings on a Budget!

Diamond stud earrings are a staple for every woman's wardrobe and the ultimate gift for yourself or a loved one. If you're working on a budget you may not think you can afford a beautiful pair of diamond stud earrings, but you can – and we'll tell you how!

Purchasing diamond stud earrings is very different from purchasing an engagement ring or diamond wedding band. While it's always important to consider the color, clarity and cut of the diamond, these factors weigh much greater when the diamond will be worn on your finger. Why? Friends and relatives will look closely at your engagement ring and diamond wedding band, sometimes even comparing it directly to theirs (how dare they!!). They can hold it up, inspect it, compare it and some my even analyze it. Diamond stud earrings, however, do not provide your shallow friends the opportunity to inspect. Most diamonds offer some type of sparkle, even with moderate inclusions and color. This is one great secret of diamond studs - you can get away with a slightly lower color and clarity than diamonds mounted for other jewelry purposes. So if your budget allows for only a lower quality diamond, don't fret! If you're deciding between a higher quality diamond and a larger size diamond, for diamond studs only we suggest going for the larger size. People are guaranteed to notice a generously sized pair of diamond studs on your ear, but will not be able to tell what color they are unless they put a magnifying glass to your ear!

So, if you're working on a budget, go for that bigger diamond - no one will get close enough to inspect them!
