What is the best cut for diamond earrings?
“It seems like only yesterday that we got married, but our twenty five year wedding anniversary is just around the corner and I’d liked to get my wife a pair of diamond earrings to commemorate the wonderful life that we’ve had together. I’m wondering what the best cut for diamond earrings is, it seems like round brilliant cut diamonds are the most popular, but are there any other shapes that I should consider? My wife likes things which are unique and different, but I want the diamonds to sparkle like crazy, what do you suggest? My budget is around 15-20k and I’d like the diamonds to be eye clean and white, that’s all I really know or want to know about diamond clarity and color! I need the earrings by the end of September, what type of settings do you recommend and what metal types are best for diamond earrings?”
What are the best diamond shapes for earrings?
The majority of diamonds that we sell for diamond stud earrings are round, because round diamonds are the most popular, and they look perfectly symmetrical when worn in the ears, regardless of which direction the diamonds are positioned as they rotate in the holes… but we also sell a lot of Brian Gavin Signature Cushion cut diamonds for earrings, because they offer a volume of light return and sparkle that rivals our Brian Gavin Signature round diamonds! You can use this feature on our web site to search for matched pairs of cushion cut diamonds, I used it to find these two pairs of diamonds for you to consider:
This matched pair of cushion cut diamonds consists of (2) Brian Gavin Signature Cushion cut diamonds, weighing approximately two carats total weight, which are graded by the American Gem Society Laboratory (AGSL) as being VS-2 in clarity, and H-color, with an overall cut grade of AGS Ideal-0, as determined on the Light Performance grading platform, which uses Angular Spectrum Evaluation Technology (ASET) to measure the brightness of the diamonds and demonstrate how consistently light is distributed throughout the diamonds… quite simply, these cushion cut diamonds are the best the industry has to offer! This pair of cushion cut diamond earrings is priced at the low end of your desired price range…
Another pair that you might consider is this matched pair of cushion cut diamonds, which consists of (2) Brian Gavin Signature Cushion cut diamonds weighing a little more than two carats total weight, which are G-color, and VS-2 in clarity, with the same overall cut grade; this pair is priced higher because of the higher color, and is closer to the high end of your desired price range. The picture provided to the left, shows a pair of Brian Gavin Signature Cushion cut diamond earrings that we recently set for another client, in martini settings which were hand-crafted to accommodate this very unique diamond shape; the earrings look absolutely amazing and I’m sure your wife would love them!
Other popular shapes of diamond earrings include round brilliant and princess cut diamonds, both of which are available in the form of pre-selected matched pairs via our diamond search engine, in a variety of carat weight, diamond clarity, and diamond color combinations; and we can set the diamonds in platinum, rose gold, white gold, or yellow gold, whichever metal type you prefer, the primary difference is really just a matter of color, the most popular metal color at the moment is white.
