Diamond Stud Shapes<\/h2>\n

Like diamond rings, diamond earrings are available in any number of shapes, also known as cuts, with round<\/a> and princess cut<\/a> being the most popular. When choosing a diamond shape for your earrings, be sure to keep in mind that studs may shift in your ears as you wear them, so it’s a good idea to choose a shape that looks good sideways and upside down as well as right side up.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.borsheims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/diamond-stud-earring-shapes.jpg” alt=”diamond stud earring shapes” title_text=”diamond-stud-earring-shapes” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” header_2_font_size=”28px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Diamond Stud Settings<\/h2>\n

Diamond stud settings come in many different styles. Most commonly, you’ll see prong settings, bezel settings, and halo settings used to secure the diamonds in stud earrings. Let’s touch on the advantages of each of these setting styles.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.borsheims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/martini-prong-setting-3STUD2946B.jpg” alt=”martini prong setting diamond stud ” title_text=”martini-prong-setting-3STUD2946B” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Prong Settings<\/h3>\n

Prong settings consist of prongs, or pointed pieces of metal, that hold a diamond in place. Prong settings can have any number of prongs, but most commonly you’ll see three-prong settings, known as martini prong settings. Additionally, there are basket prong settings, which feature\u00a0<\/span>prongs that secure a stone in a basket-like shape. One major advantage of prong settings is that they allow the sides of your diamonds to catch more light, maximizing their brilliance.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.borsheims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/bezel-set-diamond-earrings.jpg” alt=”bezel set diamond earrings” title_text=”bezel-set-diamond-earrings” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Bezel Settings<\/h3>\n

A bezel setting holds a diamond in place with a ring of metal. This metal ring snugly fits around the diamond, keeping it securely in place and providing ample protection from bumps or drops. Keep in mind that bezel set diamond stud earrings<\/a> allow for slightly less light entry than prong settings.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.borsheims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/halo-setting-diamond-earrings.jpg” alt=”halo set diamond earrings” title_text=”halo-setting-diamond-earrings” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Halo Settings<\/h3>\n

Halo diamond stud earrings<\/a> consist of one or more rings of smaller diamonds surrounding a center stone. These smaller accent diamonds add brilliance to your diamond earrings, creating a high-impact look. As an added bonus, a halo setting will make the enclosed diamond appear larger than it actually is.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_margin=”-19px|auto||auto||”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” header_2_font_size=”28px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Diamond Stud Metal Types<\/h2>\n

When choosing a setting for your diamond studs, you’ll also want to consider which metal type and color is preferred. Stud earring settings are usually crafted from one of four precious metals: white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, and platinum. White gold is the most popular option as it’s a classic look that blends well with the diamond. If you are sensitive to metals, platinum is a good choice: it’s hypoallergenic<\/a> and unlikely to cause an allergic reaction no matter how long you wear it. While white gold and platinum<\/a> are similar in style, they differ in durability, weight and price, with platinum being more durable, heavier and more expensive than gold.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,1_4,1_4,1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.borsheims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/white-gold-diamond-studs-e1639762649243.jpg” alt=”white gold diamond earrings” title_text=”white-gold-diamond-studs” url=”https:\/\/www.borsheims.com\/diamond-stud-earrings#\/filter:jewelry_refinement_material:White$2520Gold” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]
