Everyday earrings

[Alohapotato]

Hello, I would like to buy my first diamonds as everyday earrings. I've been reading about it and I prefer lab diamonds but as I'm not from here I have no idea about lab diamonds companies from uk.

I'm interested in 0.5 carat as I prefer a minimal quiet look. Can I have recommendations please?

Diamonique from QVC?

TRuDiamonds?

Thank you, I just checked them and I fell in love with this one bit I'm not sure how big they are

May I suggest you go to a few stores and try on some different sizes of studs. That will give you the best idea what would work for you. Then you can order with confidence.

You may already know but the most important factor in sparkle is the accuracy of the cut so if you have an option to choose the quality of the cut go for the best you can. The geometry for round diamonds is the easiest to achieve successfully. Other shapes (princess/emerald/square) require a great deal more precision and very careful planning.

Check out James Allen's website to play around with cuts if you're interested.
