The Luxury and Sheer Elegance of Diamond Earrings

There’s simply no getting away from that cliché ‘diamonds are a girl’s best friend.’ As delightful as the song and Marilyn Monroe were, the real thing is to put it plainly unmatchable. Have you ever watched a pair of diamond earring sparkle on a woman’s ears? No other jewel is as scintillating as a diamond – the words brilliant, fiery, radiant, sparkling and lustrous, and more, spring to mind when describing the sheer beauty of a diamond.

A diamond begins its life hidden away in the earth’s mantle; carbon containing minerals provide the source and the growth occurs over an unbelievable 1-3 billion years. The small defects or impurities give color to the diamond – this explains why we have blue, yellow, brown, purple, green, pink, orange and red diamonds. It requires a volcanic eruption or something similar is required to bring the diamonds up to the earth’s surface.

Women in diamonds are a sight to behold and diamond earrings are especially attractive. Every time a woman turns her head they sparkle brilliantly; diamonds enjoy an extremely high optical dispersion which adds to the luster of the gemstone.








Diamond earrings are a popular gift for special occasions - when you go shopping for diamond earrings for your special someone; here are a few guidelines to help you:

Diamonds are selected based on the well known principle of the 4 Cs – cut, clarity, color and carat.

Clarity – Establishes the number of flaws in a diamond.

Color – Should be as white as possible.

Carat – Diamond earrings are mostly in standard weights of 0.25ct, 0.5ct, 1.0ct, 1.5ct, 2.0ct.
