Tips on buying large diamond studs

When purchasing large diamond studs, 3ctw and over, there are a few things to keep in mind:

- Earrings are naturally less visible than other prominent jewelry, mostly due to one's hair. Solitaire rings, pendants, and other pieces are much more visible.

- Again, because diamond earrings are less visible than more prominent pieces of jewelry, clarity is not as vital. BUT, with that said, the larger the stone size, the more likely you are to see visible inclusions. In other words an I1 clarity .50ct stone is going to look cleaner then an I1 clarity 1.50ct stone. We at PDE, suggest going for the higher quality of clarity (SI2 or better) if you are looking for a large pair of studs. Of course the downside of this is the price tag.

-Color and cut is extremely important regardless of the size. Any tinge of yellow will still be visible in the ears and if the stone isn't a good cut it won't give your ears that sparkle you're looking for.
