The real value in diamond earrings is in the diamond and not the setting. Cheaper large diamond earrings are not the best option as you will often find that the larger stone is cloudy or has some inclusions, where a smaller diamond at the same price will often be much clearer with a lot more sparkle.
A good rule of thumb is to purchase the best diamond (not necessarily the biggest) that your budget can stretch to. To give you some idea of prices you can expect to pay anything upwards from £150.00. For the lower price you can purchase a good pair of diamond studs which are very versatile and wearable pieces of jewellery.
If you are thinking of buying a pair of cheap diamond earrings that you want to feel comfortable in and be able to wear all the time, it is important that you choose a style that suits your face, the type of clothes you wear and your lifestyle.
For example if you go for the hippy chic type of look then a pair of diamond chandelier earrings or diamond drop earrings would be great for you. But if you prefer a more understated look and have the type of job that means you have to wear more formal attire, then a pair of diamond stud earrings or huggy earrings might be more appropriate.
Also if you have a long face then a pair of long dangling earrings will draw attention to it, and it is better than you wear a pair of smaller earrings which fit closer to your ears. if you have a short neck a pair of long dangling earrings will be forever brushing your shoulders and could be very irritating and uncomfortable to wear.
Remember that when purchasing cheaper diamond earrings go for smaller better quality stones rather than large flawed diamonds. It is also better if you choose a pair of diamond earrings with screw backs as these are more secure than the older style butterfly push ons.
