Diamond ear studs are a classic gift and continue to be one of the most popular earring styles.
I remember graduating from high school and then college, and to me, these two events were the most sudden changes for personal style in a whole lifetime! “What should I wear” issues are dramatic, especially when you’re entering a whole new world – be it college campus life or the work force.
Developing one’s own personal style is critical, and diamond stud earrings are the perfect addition to the jewelry box. Wearable all the time, from t-shirts to the little black dress, these are the workhorse earrings that become the “go to” selection.
Buying Guidelines for Diamond Ear Studs
We have a few requirements for our ear studs that we feel are important. Because these diamonds are worn on the ear lobe and not on the finger, we feel that using better cut diamonds is more important than the clarity grade.
We also require a good match for the pair, and that’s something you will not see in many other pairs. Just because each diamond weighs about the same does not mean they match in diameter or proportions. Having a perfect match, focusing on better cut and color, and letting the clarity grade slip a little is a good compromise between size and cost.
The style of the setting is also important to us. Our selections always include many different sizes, and we keep both 4-prong basket style settings and martini style mountings so our customers can try both. Different ear lobes will hold a setting differently, so small differences in the mounting will make the diamonds sit perfectly on the ear. We can also furnish a larger friction back to hold the earring in a better position for those with issues of droopy earrings.
Here is the best news about diamond ear studs from Haltom’s – we offer a full trade-in allowance of what you paid for a bigger pair. I have traded my own studs three times! It’s a wonderful way to eventually have great big diamond studs while paying incrementally as you trade-in and trade up.
If you’d like to give your graduate the gift of a lifetime, please stop by any Haltom’s location to see our incredible selection of diamond ear studs. And congratulations to all the graduates!
