1/4 Carat Diamond Stud Earrings

Diamond Studs

One quarter carat diamond stud earrings are perfect for certain occasions. Obviously, they are not very big diamonds, but they are diamonds nonetheless. Each earring will be one-eighth of a carat, thus causing the total weight to be one-quarter of a carat. If you want to give a gift of a precious diamond, but can't afford anything bigger, one quarter carat earrings are great.

                  

If one-quarter of a diamond is what you can afford, I suggest getting earrings as opposed to other forms of jewelry. Since the earlobe is so little anyway, smaller diamonds will appear larger. In addition, you can truly wear one quarter carat diamond stud earrings with any outfit at any time. You have to be careful with bigger diamonds. There are a few places where the larger diamond may not be appropriate.

A wonderful occasion for one quarter carat diamond stud earrings is the birth of a child. No, I am not suggesting that the child should have his or her ears pierced. However, this gift to the mother to give to the child when they are of age for ear piercing is a very endearing gift. It's wonderful coming from a grandmother, aunt or uncle or even a close friend.

Shaping One Quarter Carat Diamond Stud Earrings

When you are working with diamonds of a smaller size, keep the shape simple. I'm sure that professional jewelers can shape your diamond to look like a heart, but it might not look very good considering the size. I suggest opting for round, oval or square. Those three shapes will look adorable in the one-quarter size. They will catch the light very well, no matter how small the diamond may be.

Half carat diamond stud earrings make perfect gifts. The size isn't too big, and it isn't too small. I like this size for graduations or occasions of that nature. Purchasing half carat diamond earrings means that each earring is one-quarter of a carat. This is a great size for memorable milestones in life. These earrings are a good anniversary gift if the two of you have been together for a while, but haven't gotten married yet.

Half carat diamond stud earrings are a wonderful gift from father to daughter. Come to think of it, they are a great gift for any family member to give a younger family member. Moreover, if someone fresh out of college wants to give a gift of diamond earrings, but doesn't have a lot of money, the half carat is a great size. I've been talking a lot about potential gift-giving situations. Let me talk a moment about actually choosing the shape, cut and setting

Designing Half Carat Diamond Stud Earrings

It is always fun to choose the shape of your diamond. For graduation or a family gift, I suggest round, marquise or pear. All three are very elegant and timeless. The cut is up to you. The finer the cut, the more the diamond will sparkle and shine. However, the finer the cut, the more money will come out of your wallet. In addition, a finer cut requires that more of the diamond be cut away, thus shrinking your precious gem.

You do not have to get the finest cut available in order to achieve a brilliant diamond. You can drop a few notches to Good or Very Good. You will get a great amount of sparkle from either. In fact, those with an untrained eye may never be able to notice any difference. If you use a prong setting, more light will be able to hit your diamond causing it to sparkle even more.

The Size of 1 Carat Diamond Stud Earrings 

Even though you are reading "one carat," you may not be able to visualize that. It may sound small. It may sound huge. I'd say it's about the size of a pencil eraser. However, one carat refers to the total weight. Each earring will be half a carat, thus, a little smaller than a pencil eraser. Earrings, however, don't need to be as big as rings. Just a small diamond will stand out beautifully.

1 carat diamond stud earrings must have good clarity. Clarity of a diamond refers to inner and outer flaws. Flawless or Internally Flawless is virtually perfect and very expensive. However, you don't need a perfect diamond. There are many categories of clarity where the flaws are not visible to the naked eye. For quick shopping, you should not go below SI (slightly included). Anything after that and you can start to see the flaws without a microscope.
