Choosing the best Fit Diamond Stud Earrings is Easy
When it comes to imparting fashion advice with respect to diamond studs earrings,experts usually share some well kept secrets for their appropriate fit and style. So, in linewith their setting, these studs may either sit smartly on your ear lobe or droop downwardsto give a sloppy appearance whenever donned. Here, we take a quick look at why it’simportant to go in for the best fitting studs and ways of choosing the same.
Light Weight DiamondsSmaller (and thereby lighter) diamonds offer better fits when compared to their heaviercousins. For instance, if you are planning to invest in one half carat stone, in other wordseach diamond weighing a quarter carat, then you may ask for any setting style thatcatches your fancy. Light weighted stones sit well on ear lobes of all shapes and sizes toexude a rich appeal.
Setting Styles for Heavier Diamond Stud EarringsIn case, your investments are higher and promise to get home a larger set of earrings, sayone carat or more, then the setting style needs to be considered carefully. The threepopular settings styles are:
• Crown style settingsMost jewelry designers and retail sellers offer the crown style setting. This design tendsto push the diamond (and its weight) in the forward direction. More often than not, thisheavy weight setting causes the studs to droop downwards from the wearer’s ear lobe,resulting in an unappealing look.
This crown style setting is basically in the form of a solid metal cup that has cutoutsextending into four prongs, for the purpose of securing the diamond.
• Basket style settingsAppropriate for better quality and heavier diamondsthat demand a firmer setting, basket style settingsbalance out the weight of diamonds in a more evenmanner. This in turn results in studs displayingthemselves in a straight forward way on the ears.This basket setting does not boast of solid metal andhas lighter open wires in place. Having fourperpendicularly set prong wires and looking like ahoop near the bottom (with another hoop located atthe top), a basket style setting serves to provideproper fits to one and all.
So, if you intend investing in a diamond studs earrings collection with basket settings,then ensure that your stones sit well in their baskets. In other words, they should be setlow enough so that their center of gravity remains as close to your ear lobes as possible.
• Martini style settingsDiamond studs earrings with martini style setting may be a tad difficult to find, but aresurely the best in class. In this setting, the culets or back of the diamonds are fashioned torest very close to the ear lobe.
As the center of gravity of these studs restsfurther backwards, their diamonds appear torest forward on the ear lobes with a clean, neatforward look. As opposed to the presence offour prongs in the previous two settings,Martini style settings are designed to hold thestones in place with three prongs only. Becausethere’s less metal in place, the brilliance andfire of the diamonds is set off more effectively.This is obviously the best setting style forlarger diamonds.
