Diamond stud earrings:

It's taken for granted that no woman's jewellery box is complete without a pair of diamond stud earrings, but now it seems that no self respecting man's wardrobe is complete without a pair either. With the likes of top British footballer David Beckham and US rapper 50 Cent wearing diamond studs; it appears that neither sex can resist their elegant sparkle.

If you thought that all diamond stud earrings were alike, then it's time to think again. Besides the obvious difference in the diamond's weight (measured in carats), you'll also have to think about which cut you prefer and how you are going to have it set.

Round cut diamond stud earrings are the most popular choice with women (they also give you the most sparkle for your money), while the princess cut comes a close second. However, you can have your diamonds cut any way you choose, ranging form a brilliant heart cut to a stepped emerald cut.

Settings are a slightly more complicated business. The first step is to decide what type of metal you want for the setting. Yellow gold, white gold and platinum are all favourites. Next you'll have to choose the style of setting. If you want to let your diamonds speak for themselves then a discrete three-pronged mount is best, otherwise you could opt for a bezel setting.

Men are generally more conservative in their tastes than women and most stick with a round cut. In the not too distant past men tended to restricted themselves to smaller earrings, and it seemed that for once bigger wasn't better. However, in recent years the trend seems to have taken a u-turn.

If you decide to buy a pair of diamond stud earrings online (and there are many reasons why you should, not the least being financial) it pays to do your homework first. Make sure that you brush up on the four C's: colour, carat, cut and clarity and check that you're trading with a reputable dealer. Insist that any purchase you make is accompanied by certification form either the Gemological Institute of America or the European Gemological Laboratory.
