Help me find gorgeous earrings.

[IHaventACluedo]

As part of my effort to look a bit more polished I have started to regularly wear earrings. I wear my long hair back a lot and at the moment I am wearing diamond studs. They are not massive and are about 1/3 of a carat.

I have a big birthday coming up and would like to have another pair of earrings to wear when I have my hair back. I love my studs but everyone has them and I think they are a bit safe. I would like to get a new pair of earrings (not dangly) that I can wear with hair back, perhaps with diamonds that I can keep for ever and look at them remembering my family bought them for my big birthday. Budget up to £1,000. I would like something a bit glamorous and/ stunning but that I can wear regularly during the day.

how about something like this? simple, but different and not too out there either..

I'm amused by your statement that "everyone" has diamond stud earrings!

Personally I'd go for something classical and timeless- try Mappin and Webb who have a few options around that price point or have a look at some antique options where you would get a lot more for your money. You could even get small sapphire, emerald or ruby studs for that.

I love this British jeweller

I have some of her jewellery. Less run of the mill and you could find something in your price range

£1000 for a pair of earrings?! Do people really spend that much? I just spent £25 on some lovely ones.

Apologies - I really it's none of my business, but I just can't get my head around this at all.

Of course not everyone has diamond studs. What I mean (backtracking...) is that a lot of women wear earrings that look like diamond studs. It seems to be a staple.

Thanks for the tips. I do especially like the ones form etsy.

I have never spent this much on a pair of earrings. I bought diamond studs 23 years ago overseas and they cost me a couple fo hundred. To replace them now would cost £1,000 That said, I really want something special for my big birthday that I can keep forever. I don't plan on ever getting such a present again. I don't wear any other jewellery apart from a watch.

What about something a little different like these www.thediamondstore.co.uk/opal-7-x-5-mm-and-diamond-9k-yellow-gold-earrings-p14505c240.cfm?utm_source=GoogleShopping&utm_medium=ppc&utm_medium=ppc&utm_term=&utm_campaign=UK_Shopping+-+High+Margin&utm_source=adwords&hsa_ad=78937717619&hsa_grp=20752518059&hsa_kw=&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_cam=278732099&hsa_mt=&hsa_acc=6538513890&hsa_src=g&hsa_ver=3&hsa_tgt=pla-262546340050&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjJzY_ICs3QIVzud3Ch2ovgi9EAQYBiABEgJWj_D_BwE

What colour is your hair? I've got very dark brown hair that's around collar bone length. I love wearing off-white studs as the contrast looks great. I think they're timeless and can wear them for every day and special occasions too. Definitely not going to cost £1,000 but an idea to get as a staple for less than £100. Then you'll have three pairs! Diamond stud, pearl stud and your super special pair.

I git med diamond hoops, diamond inside and out about 10 years ago, about 1,000. (Big birthday too). I’m super glad I got them instead of studs, classic but a bit more obvious!

I've got some similar to these: www.ernestjones.co.uk/webstore/d/4486471/9ct+white+gold+0.50ct+diamond+cluster+stud+earrings/

Unfortunately, I've lost quite a few pairs of diamond earrings, and replaced via home insurance (so had one pair, got lost, replaced on insurance, lost, replaced on insurance etc). The original pair were relatively cheap - about £200, but the cost of gold and diamonds has increased so much, the equivalent eventually crept up to £1k ish.

Top tip: I had my last replacement pair converted into screw backs. They'll never drop out of my ears!!

I’d go for a pair of gold and diamond huggie hoops in that price range. Have a look at KC designs and Astley Clarke.

Like the look of the hugger hoops.

My hair is dark brown and bra length.

It IS for a big birthday though. It’s all relative to personal situations. Some people would be just as baffled about a £25 pair as you are about a 1K pair.

Just don’t go to a high street jewelers OP.
