Few pieces in fine jewelry are as timeless—or as wearable—as a classic pair of diamond stud earrings. Whether you’re gifting a loved one or investing in yourself, diamond studs are elegant, versatile, and perfect for every stage of life.

But how do you choose the right pair?

At Aminov Jewelry Company, we specialize in natural diamond studs set in 14K and 18K gold, and we’re here to help you find the ideal fit for your style, lifestyle, and budget.

1. Natural or Lab-Grown Diamonds?

Both are real diamonds—but they differ in origin and long-term value.

  • Natural diamonds: Formed over billions of years beneath the Earth’s surface, rare and certified.

  • Lab-grown diamonds: Chemically identical but grown in a lab—often more affordable.

Our recommendation: For long-term investment and heirloom value, go with certified natural diamonds.

2. Pick the Right Shape

The shape of your diamond affects both style and sparkle.

  • Round brilliant: Classic, most sparkle per carat

  • Princess cut: Modern, clean lines

  • Oval or cushion: Soft, flattering, more surface area

  • Emerald cut: Sophisticated, understated brilliance

Our tip: If unsure, round studs in 14K gold are universally flattering.

3. Choose the Right Carat Size

Size matters—but so does proportion and lifestyle.

  • 0.25–0.50 ct (total weight): Dainty, great for second piercings or subtle elegance

  • 0.75–1.00 ct: Classic everyday size

  • 1.50–2.00+ ct: Statement-making and luxurious

Remember: Bigger isn’t always better—cut quality and setting style make a huge difference.

 4. Select the Metal Type

Your setting affects the tone and contrast of the diamonds.

  • 14K yellow gold: Warm, traditional, beautiful with all skin tones

  • 14K white gold: Clean, modern, enhances the whiteness of diamonds

  • 18K gold: Slightly richer color and softer finish

  • Rose gold: Romantic, trendy, adds warmth

Most popular: 14K white gold or yellow gold for everyday wear.

5. Look for Secure Settings & Backs

For studs, security = peace of mind.

  • Four-prong: Maximizes light exposure and sparkle

  • Bezel-set: Sleek and ultra-secure

  • Screw-backs or locking backs: Help prevent loss

Pro tip: Always store your studs in a lined box when not worn.
