Everything You Need to Know About Buying Diamond Studs

"Diamond studs are almost entirely about the diamond, as opposed to the mounting. Look for the right balance of size, color, and clarity to suit your taste and budget. That being said, the mounting you choose can provide a subtle but important difference. A martini setting provides the lowest profile (flushest to the ear) and most minimal look. A bezel mounting creates a clean, modern look, and a diamond frame adds visual size. Small details can provide just the right amount of personal flair to classic studs, such as entwined framed mounts or a yellow gold mounting."
