Different Sizes Of Diamond Earrings
Our recommended partners for buying diamond earrings are The Diamond Store.co.uk .
For your budget you usually have a choice of either better quality diamonds or larger diamonds. So what would be your choice?
On the whole we feel that it is better to go for quality rather than size, but our view is based on investment and resale value rather than on what they look like or how they make you feel when you are wearing them. You have to choose what suits your budget and tastes best
The following is a size guide for the TOTAL weight of diamond earrings:
0.01ct – 0.05ct - Diamond Earrings
This size is usually bought for young children. Their first diamond earrings! Quality should not be a big factor here. 0.05ct total weight diamond stud earrings have diamonds approximately 1.8mm in diameter.
0.10ct – 0.25ct -Diamonds Earrings
This size is usually bought for teenagers and young ladies. Perfect as a gift for an 18 th birthday present. 0.15ct total weight diamond earrings have diamonds approximately 2.7mm each in diameter. Better quality diamonds will cost a little more than the standard varieties.
0.33ct – 0.50ct - Diamonds Earrings
This size is usually bought for young ladies to early 30s. Prices increase quite rapidly with variance of quality. Makes a perfect gift for a 21 st birthday present.
0.50ct – 1ct + - Diamonds Earrings
For everyone else!
This is just a rough guide as your choice will also be dependent on formal wear or every-day-wear, and what type of diamond jewellery you are considering. Not everyone likes to wear big diamond stud earrings when going shopping!
On a personal note for me whether you are buying a 0.05ct Diamond Earring or 1ct Diamond Earrings the ones that catch your eyes are the ones with the biggest sparkles!
