Things To Consider When Buying Diamond Earrings
*This is a collaborative post but all thoughts on diamond earrings are my own
There’s something extraordinary about jewellery. Unwrapping a small compact box on your birthday or at Christmas can bring joy to the best of women. A few years ago I opened my birthday present from Luke, and it was a beautiful diamond pendant, and I couldn’t have been happier. The phrase ‘Diamonds are a girl’s best friend’ is very true.
Even if you wear more fashion jewellery day-to-day, there’s nothing more special than having something diamond. I think diamond earrings are a practical choice when buying diamonds because they are an item you can wear to dress up an outfit, but you can also wear them in a more casual setting. It’s nice, like a big pendant where it’s quite noticeable. Earrings can be as subtle as you want. This means they’ll get a lot of wear.
Styles of diamond earrings
There are a lot of different styles of earrings depending on what you’re looking for. There are:
- Studs – These are typically a single stone. Brilliant (round) shaped stones are the most traditional, but you can get them in a square, teardrop, and so much more.
- Halo– With a halo, you get a larger central stone and then a surround of smaller stones to frame it. These can look dressier as you have more stones for the light to sparkle off.
- Black Diamond– These are pretty self-explanatory but are becoming a very popular style of diamond to opt for due to their dramatic colour.
- Cluster– With a cluster, you get lots of smaller stones clustered together to create one earring. Like the halo design, these can be made to look dressier.
- Drops– If you want something that hangs, then a drop earring is the style to go for. There are lots of designs, from earrings that just hang below the lobe to very large and long drops.
- Hoops– Hoops come in all shapes and sizes from small ones that just hug your lobe to bring dramatic hoops, they’re a traditional style that isn’t going anywhere.

How to style diamond earrings
There are lots of different ways you can style diamond earrings depending on the look you want to achieve and the outfit you’re wearing it with.
If you’re going for an outfit that is quite busy or has a lot of detailing it’s worth opting for an earring that is simpler like a classic stud, or a small hoop. This way the earring won’t look like it’s trying too hard. But if you’re wearing quite a plain or single-coloured outfit then go for a longer drop or a cluster to really add some sparkle to your outfit.
How you wear your hair will affect how you style the diamond earrings. If you’ve got your hair down then something small might not be noticeable so you’d be better off with a drop or larger hoop. But halo or cluster earrings can work well if your hair is pulled back to show off your face more than studs.
But the most important thing about styling diamond earrings is wearing something you love that holds lovely memories. For most of us, diamonds are something we get for special occasions; birthdays, weddings, anniversaries etc. So they’ll be something you treasure for life.
Do you own any diamond earrings?

So many beautiful pieces. I’ve always loved diamond earrings but despite many hints to my husband I don’t actually own any! I love the black diamond ones that you’ve featured.
I only have rings and a necklace, no earrings yet. But I’m hoping to get some for my wedding in a few years time, that seems like a good excuse x
Great advice, I currently don’t own any but I would really like some for my wedding. I have been saving money in the wedding fund and plan to treat myself. I figured I could justify it because I never imagined I’d get married and I know that if my Mum was here she’d insist I had some, so they are a gift from me to me but with my Mum in mind x
That’s such a nice idea, and you’ll think of your mum when you wear them as you know she’d have bought them for you otherwise x
I don’t know how to style diamonds so this is such a lovely and helpful guide.

I don’t own diamond earrings cos knowing my luck I’ll lose them lol. But it doesn’t stop me from looking and making mood boards of beautiful designs. This was a good buying guide x
