What to Look Out For When Buying Diamond Earrings
Have a close female friend whose birthday is coming up? Want to get her something special, but know that a diamond ring means the wrong thing?
Why not get her a beautiful pair of diamond earrings? Diamonds can mean much more than romance! They are April’s birthstone due to their ability to withstand time. They are perfect for everyday use while still being elegant and refined. When looking for a gift that will last forever, diamonds are an excellent choice.
The final consideration is what type of jewellery to buy: diamond necklace, diamond ring, or diamond earrings? There are many different ways a diamond can be cut, which is the best? When one thinks about diamonds, perhaps the first thing to come to mind is the diamond ring. Giving a ring to a girl that is not your fiance, will likely be confusing for her.
A necklace could be an excellent choice if she wears necklaces, but even so there is a chance that a diamond necklace will get put in the safe and worn only on very special occasions. The one piece of jewellery that a girl can wear for any occasion and not feel over or under dressed is diamond earrings. They are also usually more affordable.
The most difficult aspect of purchasing diamond earrings is often choosing the right cut: i.e. With the cut, there are many to select from, round, emerald, princess or oval? The fashions and models of cut is a girl’s domain. The better you know her, the easier it will be to make the shape correspond with her personality.
Round-cut diamonds, well-renowned for their brilliance, are actually cut like a rounded pyramid. This is the most well-liked diamond cut. The cut on most engagement rings is round.
Princess-cut diamonds are wrought like an upturned pyramid – a quadrangle top with four beveled limits. This cut is the second most in demand.
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.

When buying jewelry without your girlfriend present, it’s a good idea to stick to the classic shapes, even though other cuts (such as the pear and the heart) are available. Since her ears have to bear the weight, the diamonds should not be too big.
One more thing, ask the jeweller from which you are buying to suggest a set of diamond earrings. It is important to trust your own opinion as well as theirs, they are knowledgeable in what they are doing.
