Buying a Pair of Diamond Earrings

By Rachel Ryder

It is true that buying a pair of diamond earrings can be so confusing and mind-boggling. In fact, on your first buying experience, choosing which one among the many pairs of earrings can be really hard. Thus, it is important that before going to any jeweler, you try to get some knowledge first about diamonds and various settings. This can really help.

Nonetheless, you must know by now that diamonds are girls' best friend. They are expensive and yet really satisfying to the eyes. They are refractive that they draw light from surroundings to make a captivating sparkling effect. Not to mention that they also come in all sizes and shapes to suit women's varying tastes and preferences. However, despite their great qualities, they are sometimes misused and their real essence is ignored.

About the settings, well they come in various styles or design. However, they are considered less important when compared to diamonds. They are considered worthless without a diamond on top of them.

Actually in real essence, diamonds and settings are equally important. A pair of earrings must have a setting and a diamond on top and they must compliment. Specifically, shape and size of diamond should be appropriate to the setting. There is indeed no exact answer as to what shape and size of diamond will compliment what type of setting. Answer will always depend on your choice.

But just one tip, see to it that shape and size will balance everything. Particularly for the size, always go for the size that seems to be appropriate. Never go for a certain size because it will add up to the possible expensive look of the jewelry. There are women who would go for diamonds in big size as they are really expensive and once they already have them on their ears, they feel more sophisticated and priceless. What they fail to realize is that the look of the diamonds on top of the setting is far more important compared to the price details. Thus, to get yourself right pair of diamond earrings, always give higher priority on how diamonds look on top of the setting. Be wise and be objective. - 16650
