Diamond earrings are by far one of the most popular additions for the wedding day. Once the wedding rings are purchased and the groom is looking for a suitable present for the bride, diamond earrings make the perfect addition for the big day. Whether they are diamond stud earrings or drop earrings, they make the perfect accessory for bridal wear. Another advantage is that they will remain an important piece of jewellery that will last and carry a  significant sentiment for life. Diamond earrings can be created for all budgets ranging from small stud earrings, with round stones 0.20cts total diamond weight, measuring 3mm in each ear, to larger diamond stud earrings with a quarter, third or even a half carat in each ear. Much depends upon the budget for the diamond earrings. By opting for 18ct White Gold instead of Platinum, more money can be put into the carat weight, provided the colour and clarity are of an acceptable but not too higher specification. There is no real need to go beyond SI1 clarity since higher clarities will not be distinguishable from this. This therefore allows more of the budget to be spent on increasing carat weight of the diamond earrings. There is a sliding scale with colour, cut, clarity and carat weight (the four C’s) and it is important to adjust this in your favour to arrive at the best and most practical combination. For example G colour and SI1 clarity will look fantastic, whereas  F colour and IF clarity, to the naked eye, will never look noticeably different whilst in the ear, for any particular carat weight.
