Gemstone earrings come fitted with exquisite diamonds and also other precious stones like rubies, emeralds and sapphires. Available in the form of studs, hoops, drops or fancy earrings, diamond earrings are suitable for formal wear as well as parties.
Since ancient times, gemstones have been used to make jewelries. Even today, gemstone jewelries are considered to have a mystical and aesthetic appeal and gemstone earrings too have a charm of their own. Having a sophisticated and extremely classy appeal about them, these earrings may be made up of diamonds or other precious stones like sapphires, emeralds and rubies. Gemstone earrings come in a variety of designs, style and make. They may be in the form of studs, drops, fancy earrings, hoops and several other styles. But to get the maximum effect out of them, choosing the right kind of earring according to your face structure is very essential.
Similarly, earrings also have to be chosen keeping the occasion in mind. While small hoops and diamond studs look good on formal occasions, a Saturday night party would call for more colorful and fancy gemstone earrings. To aid the working women of today, manufacturers are designing earrings which can be worn at work during the daytime and also at parties in the evening.
Diamond earrings come in the form of pierced as well as non-pierced earrings. While diamond wire earrings and diamond post earrings fall in the category of pierced earrings, clip earrings come in the category of non-pierced earrings. Post earrings typically consist of a post holding the diamond which is fastened by a nut or a clutch. Wire earrings on the other hand consist of a bent metal wire that goes through the ear and hangs at the back of the ear. Clip earrings have a hinged clip which holds the earring together.
A single diamond stud is the most elegant of all gemstone earrings, which makes strong fashion statements. They are suitable for formal as well as semi-formal occasions. Set in platinum, yellow gold and white gold, diamond studs usually have minimal settings as in these earrings the diamond is the main point of attraction. Heart, round, oval, square, octagon, pear and trillion, the studs come with diamonds in several shapes.
Princess cut diamond earrings have become hugely popular over the past few years. They may be in the form of white gold studs, invisible sets or solitaires fitted with princess cut diamonds. Colored diamonds too find favor with the trendy women of today. They are either worn as single stones or in combination with white diamonds. Diamond earrings may also be fitted other precious stones like sapphires, emeralds and rubies. Besides the studs, channel set diamond earrings too are in fashion. Available in gold and platinum, they are fitted with round and baguette diamonds.
