4 Cs to Consider While Buying Diamond Earrings

 

Is your lady’s birthday around the corner? If you’re stuck on what to get her, you can never go wrong with a classic pair of diamond earrings. After all, diamonds are a girl’s best friend! But, in order to scope out the best quality diamond earrings in your budget, you’ll need to take the 4 Cs into consideration. What are the 4 Cs? Color, Clarity, Cut and Carat Weight. Let’s take a look.

Color

The face of a diamond looks like tiny mirrors that reflect what’s close to it. So, the color of metal in which the diamond is set will be reflected by it along with your skin, hair or anything nearby. The perceived color of the diamond is affected by these materials or factors. That is why buying an expensive colorless diamond isn’t as important. You can save money by choosing diamonds that are lower on the D to Z color scale.

Clarity

Spotting inclusions and blemishes on diamond earrings is relatively difficult, unless they are close enough to examine your ears. For this reason, the diamonds that are on the lower end of the clarity scale Slightly Included (SI1 and SI2) or Included  (I1 and I2) can be a great value for a pair of diamond earrings.

Cut

If you’re shopping for diamond earrings, you’ll mostly likely want a pair that sparkle and pop. A brilliant cut facet provides the most sparkle, so we recommend looking for diamonds in this cutting style. If you decide to go with round brilliant cut diamonds, be sure to double check that they have excellent cut grades from GIA. It ensures that the diamond you have chosen has the symmetry, proportion and quality craftsmanship for delivering the sparkle you’re aiming for.

Carat Weight

You can look for diamonds of 0.50 carat or more, depending on your budget. For saving money with little loss of quality, we recommend choosing diamonds that are just a few points below 0.50 ct, 0.75 ct or 1.00 ct. However, do not use the carat weight as your criterion for buying diamond earrings or any other diamond jewelry.

Choosing the perfect diamonds for your piece is a process, but keeping the 4 Cs in consideration ensures you’ll be buying exactly what you’re looking for. A classic pair of diamond earrings is always a good idea.
