Buying A Pair Of Diamond Earrings – Importance of the Setting

Buying your first pair of diamond earrings can be a frustrating experience – making a selection of the best looking diamonds earrings can be challenging enough, but add in the varieties of sizes, colors, price options, settings, and precious gems can make this an overwhelming and time-consuming experience.  It’s important, in fact it is crucial, to have some knowledge of fine diamond jewelry before making your purchase.
Diamonds are expensive, alluring, and sophisticated.  Well polished diamonds in earrings have a brilliant glitter that is unmatched, drawing immediate attnetion.  Since they are refractive, they will capture light and shine and come in all shapes and sizes to match one’s distinguished tastes.  However, some of the best qualities and the intricate process of crafting fine diamond earrings is often taken for granted.
Diamond Earring Settings – The settings for the diamonds are often built to fit a diamond of a specific size and shape.  They’ll come in any sort of styles and designs.  However, they are often second to the diamonds themselves and are really meant to highlight the true gems – the diamonds – places into the piece.
The truth is, the Setting is just as important as the diamond itself.  Who wants a high carat, luxury diamond in a cheap setting?  Imagine a cheap or loose setting that loses the diamond placed inside!   The shape, size, and cut of the diamond should fit the style of the setting it is placed in.  They should both complement each other – a good setting will likely be a variety of Gold or Platinum to compliment your diamonds.  Be sure that the look, style, and quality of the setting s just as balanced and fitting the quality of the gem set inside.  Never purchase a diamond on size alone – this may increase the cost but will not enhance the look of your jewelry.

Choosing Yellow Diamond Earrings

If you need a unique and sophisticated gift for a loved one, yellow diamond earrings are a gift unmatched.

Strange as it seems to fine jewelry connoisseurs  and specialists, it seems while most people know that Jewelry comes in many varieties, most have not seen the alluring luxury of yellow diamonds.  Gold can be white, yellow, rosy-colored and in jewelry is designed in many shapes, and diamonds are not any different.  Known as “fancy” diamonds, diamonds are not only clear but come in black, yellow, pink, or shades of blue.

What makes a yellow diamond yellow?   A yellow diamond is formed based on the level of nitrogen content in the diamond.  The yellow appearance is the refractive properties of this nitrogen that becomes infused inside.   These diamonds may also have a green or orange tent to them.  A darker shade of yellow is always preferred over a lighter shade – a lighter shade of yellow may be seen as an imperfect clear diamond (with cracks) when they are in fact yellow.

When purchasing any diamonds, including yellow diamond earrings, be sure that you get a report that will give you all of the details on the color grading, clarity, and cut of the diamond you’re purchasing.  And remember to choose the right cut – a diamond with more facets will sparkle more while less facets in the cut will have a more discreet look.  It is this reflection in the diamond that gives it the much sought-after appeal!

And remember with yellow diamond earrings or other colors that these “specialty” diamonds will likely match with different styles than traditional diamonds.  They can greatly enhance your look where yellow is the preferred color and add dazzling style to your look.  Be sure that the diamonds you’re choosing not only fit your look but your skin tone as well.   Your skin tone may suit a more vivid color, or a lighter hue may be more preferred.

Nothing is more unique than a colored diamond earring – they’re unmistakable, memorable, and the brilliant glimmer of your jewelry lasts longer than a lifetime!
