Buying myself some diamond earrings and can’t decide between 2 styles of you lovely people could help? Both are 0.5 carat.

That style is classic and traditional for a reason - the claws will show off the stone much more than the circle setting imho.

PeachesBright · 28/12/2020 23:10

Definitely 2.
I really don't like 1 at all.

JaceLancs · 29/12/2020 01:19

2 but only because it shows off the (hopefully) quality stone better

BusterGonad · 29/12/2020 04:51

I like style 1. Style 2 would bore me after a while.

ZaraW · 29/12/2020 05:51

#2 diamond studs are a classic are they meant to be fashionable? I've had mine for 10 years in style 2 and never get bored of them.

1!

I think I’m going to go for 1. It’s more ‘me’. 2 is lovely but I’m wondering if it’s old fashioned?

1- stunning
2 - boring and look cheap

I’m getting screw backs😊
Safety first! Grin Fwiw 1 are fairly classic too.

Enjoy!

I know nothing about jewellery so please ignore me ! But isn’t always best to try things on to see how they look 👀?
Or can’t you do that with earrings? ( I don’t have pierced ears )

You can’t do that with earrings really unfortunately.

That’s why I’m going simple and classic 😂 I’ve always wanted a pair of diamond earrings. It’s my birthstone and it’s been a tough year. I got an unexpected pay rise so I’m treating myself ❤️

Enjoy! And don’t forget to reveal :) I hope your family are all well .

  1. You want an investment to be classic. Tbh 1 looks cheaper and to an untrained eye might look like costume jewellery.
