Why You Need a Pair of Diamond Stud Earrings

Everyone needs a pair of diamond stud earrings.  I believe there should be a pair of diamond stud earrings in every woman’s jewelry collection, no question about it.  And come to think of it, every guy who has at least one pierced ear needs a pair of diamond stud earrings (or just one diamond stud earring), too!  Whether they are round, princess cut, heart shaped, or emerald cut, diamond stud earrings are a “must-have”.

Here’s why:

Diamond stud earrings are versatile. Most sizes, in my humble opinion, (let’s say up to 1/2 carat a piece), will look good on everyone, all the time.  On those days when you are throwing on a pair of jeans and a T-shirt to head out for some errands, what will look great?  Your diamond stud earrings.  When you are dressed conservatively for that job interview, what will look great?  Your diamond stud earrings.  When you get all dressed up for an evening out with your best guy, what will look great?  Your diamond stud earrings.  In fact, they are no longer one of those “only for dressed up times” jewelry items.  The old rule about not wearing diamonds during the day has long gone out the window!  You can wear them anytime, anywhere and always know they look great.

Diamond stud earrings are virtually indestructible. Diamonds are the hardest mineral, rating a 10 on the Mohs scale.  This is great news for anyone owning diamond stud earrings.  You can take them off, toss them in your jewelry box and not worry about damaging them in any way.  Make sure your diamond earring studs are made of at least 10K gold or sterling silver to make the most of diamond stud earrings indestructible qualities.  Platinum would also be a great choice.

Diamond stud earrings are easy to care for and clean. If you wear them often, they will need a thorough cleaning once a week or so to remove skin oils and hair product build-up that can dull their shine and sparkle.  Any commercial jewelry cleaner should be sufficient to use.  Soak your earrings in the solution for a minute or two, and use a small soft brush to dislodge any debris collected under the diamond.  You can also use homemade cleaners such as ammonia and water (one part ammonia, one part water), vinegar and water (one part vinegar, four parts water), or even just mild dish soap and water.  Be careful about using acidic cleaners – some metals can be damaged by the acidity.  Don’t soak your earrings too long in those mixtures.  A quick dip followed by a gentle brushing with an old toothbrush will usually do the trick.  Ultrasonic jewelry cleaning machines are a great option for diamond jewelry, also.  You should be able to find a good one for under $30.  About once a year or so, take all of your diamond jewelry to a reputable jeweler for a professional cleaning.  They will not only clean and polish your jewelry so it looks like new, but they will check the settings to make sure there are no loose stones that might fall out.

Now you know, diamond stud earrings are probably THE most versatile jewelry item you can ever own.  Even something like black diamond stud earrings will look great on everybody, and can be worn every day.  Ok, ‘nuff said – go get yourself some diamond stud earrings today!
