Choosing the right stone shape for stud earrings can help personalize your look. Here are popular diamond shapes, often seen in other gemstone varieties:
Popular Stud Earrings Shape & Description
•
Round Studs: A timeless, classic choice known for its brilliance
•
Princess Square Studs: A square cut known for its sharp, geometric look
•
Oval Studs: An elongated shape similar to round cuts but creates an illusion of larger size
•
Pear Studs: Also called teardrop—a combination of round and marquise cuts for an elegant look
Stone Size
Consider your earlobe size and your style when selecting stone size. Small studs around 3mm are delicate and perfect for those who want understated elegance.
4-5 mm studs provide a balance between understated elegance and visibility. For those wanting to make a bolder statement, a size around 6-8 mm is sure to turn heads.
Setting
The setting plays a huge role in stud earrings both from a stylistic standpoint and securely holding the stones. Popular settings include:
•
Prong: This classic setting allows maximum light to pass through, enhancing a stone’s sparkle, with thin metal prongs that gently hold the stone in place.
•
Bezel: In this setting, a thin metal rim encircles the stone, giving it a more modern feel. It’s like getting a free insurance policy - you'll have added security working in your favor.
•
Halo: This involves a larger center stone circled by smaller stones—which maximizes brilliance.
Caring for Your Stud Earrings
Once you’ve found the perfect pair, it's crucial to care for them properly to keep them looking radiant. For studs with precious gemstones, use a sterling silver jewelry or gold jewelry cleaning solution designed for that purpose. Washing away the daily grime, this helps clear out embedded dirt, lotions, and oils that clog pores.
Always store them in a jewelry box or pouch to help prevent scratches. Remember to remove your earrings before swimming or showering to keep them from becoming tarnished or discolored. Lastly, take your stud earrings to a professional jeweler at least once a year to be cleaned and inspected for any loose settings or stones.
