Diamond Stud Earrings from The Diamond Store.co.uk

Diamond stud earrings are classic items of jewellery which everyone should own at least one pair of, which is why The Diamond Store.co.uk offers a selection of over 100 classic diamond stud earrings. They are such versatile items of jewellery that diamond studs look the part whether worn during the day for work or on a night out on the town.

The way the diamonds are mounted can vary, but the most popular is the claw setting because it allows maximum light to enter from the base and sides of the diamond. This light is refracted and causes the earrings to fire and sparkle. This setting is used in The Diamond Store.co.uk´s Olivia Princess, Olivia 18KY, Chloe Round and Chloe 18KY Collections of diamond studs earrings.

A more contemporary diamond setting is the rub-over style. Here the metal holding the diamond is literally rubbed over it to hold it in place, as is used in the Emily Round and Emily 18k Collections of round diamond stud earrings. It is an attractive modern setting which involves the metal encircling the diamond on all sides. However it does not allow as much light to enter as the claw.
