The perfect earring

[Hoolahoophop]

I am day dreaming about buying the perfect pair of earrings money no object. Lovely for everyday or dressing up to go out. Classic, money no object the only pair I would ever need.

What would you get.

Diamond, pearl, colored gemstone plain gold or silver?
What shape hoop, stud, round, tear or square, drop?

I think I would like 18ct gold diamond stud. My wedding and engagement rings are yellow gold so would stick with that.

Something like this

Bezel Set Round Diamond Studs In Yellow Gold - Flawless Fine Jewellery

What would you choose.

My personal view is that it is always such a shame to put diamonds into a setting like that. You don't see the beauty of the diamonds. Go for the best you can afford.

OP - I've just had some made with the same 18ct yellow gold bezel setting.

Rather than be studs though, I chose for mine to hang just below my earlobe.

I have diamond stud earrings but they’re platinum set and not bezel so you just see the diamond. DH bought them for me one Christmas. I love them and never take them out. I have second piercings so have the stud in that hole and change the front earrings regularly. I forget about the studs but often get someone commenting as they catch the light.
I love gold and it’s quite pricey at the moment but would love some large gold hoops and maybe some drop earrings of a ball/ star or something pretty.

Where did he get the studs from as I'm after something similar!

DH bought them from a local, independent jeweller I think.

Similarly to other posters, I have a set of diamond studs which I bought for myself with a small inheritance. I LOVE them and never take them out! I only have one piercing in each ear but after reading @greengreyblue has two and keeps the studs in the second set I’m very tempted to do the same! The diamonds go with everything but I also have other earrings I like to wear and change up so I think I may get another set done!

My dad inherited a big, beautiful solitaire diamond which he had made into a ring for my mum which was in a bezel setting. She ended up getting it changed because while it was beautiful, it just didn’t make the most of the stone.

I got platinum set lab grown diamond studs made by a local independent jeweller and they are absolutely gorgeous, and so classic

Ahh that’s nice. I only had it done a few years ago.

Here is how it looks .

The hoops are gold plated and crystal from Oliver Bonas.

I love my diamond studs but I could never be satisfied with one pair of earrings. Where’s the fun in that?!

I have similar studs from Beaverbrooks. Beautiful x

Why one pair? You can take them out or do as I do above.

@greengreyblue- the OP says it would be the only pair she would ever need

Haha, turn of phrase. The one pair I would ever need, classy and suitable in every situation. If I were like that! (I have been re reading Rosamund Pilcher and am imagining myself as landed gentry with a signature scent, some priceless jewels worn to walk the dogs and an elegant but threadbare rug in the drawing room!)

I'm not like that. I have many, many pairs of earrings. Some pricy, mostly cheap. I generally wear a different pair each day. I have everything from pearls to dangly dice!

I love my classic pearls. They go with everything but I treated myself to a gorgeous pair of Tiffany silver hoops. Between those that’s all I wear.

i love my Earrings

My husband bought me diamond studs maybe 20 years ago and I wear them constantly. I usually wear one in in my cartilage piercing and one on the other lobe in the 3rd hole. Sometimes I just wear them in the first holes. I absolutely love them.

I love these for making me looked more glam than I am! https://www.louisewade.com/products/bowie-flash-chainback-earrings

@Hoolahoophop- Phew!

I have two sets of diamond studs - my everyday ones and my dress up ones 😂

I have a pair of black diamond star studs. DH bought them second hand. I love them but I wouldn’t advise anyone to buy black diamonds as you can’t tell what they are!

I have a blue diamond ring. Nobody knows it's a diamond. But it's gorgeous and hard wearing so I never take it off.

My daughter bought me a beautiful pair of white gold star earrings. They're not diamond they're cubic zirconia (oh the horror, according to some on here 😂). I have dozens of pairs of earrings but these are absolutely my favourites and I wear them virtually every day.
