About these Earrings

The appraisal includes the cut, color, clarity, and either carat weight for diamonds or millimeter dimensions for gemstones, and the craftsmanship of the item. Your appraisal ensures that in the case of loss, theft, or damage your insurance company will give you an equal replacement of your item. The more information contained in the appraisal, the better chance you have of receiving the exact replacement for that item. Your insurance agency can rely on this appraisal to calculate a coverage rate for your diamond or piece of fine jewelry.

Frequently Asked Questions

All You Need to Know About Gold & Diamond Rings

Understanding Your Diamond Options

Natural vs. Lab-Created Diamonds

We carry both natural and lab-created diamonds, so you can pick whichever fits your priorities. Natural diamonds formed underground over billions of years. Every stone is one of a kind, with its own character and story. Lab-created diamonds are grown in a controlled setting using the same conditions that create natural diamonds. Chemically and visually, they're identical to mined stones.

Both types get graded on the same 4Cs scale (Cut, Color, Clarity, Carat), and both sparkle the same way. The decision usually comes down to what matters most to you: the history and rarity of a natural diamond, or the value and traceability of a lab-grown one. Either way, you're getting a real diamond.

Natural Diamonds: Formed over billions of years, rare, each stone is unique
Lab-Created Diamonds: Same physical properties, traceable origin, better price point
Grading: Both graded identically using Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat
Bottom Line: Pick based on what matters to you, not what anyone else thinks

How do I find my ring size?

Getting Your Size Right

Best bet is to get sized at a jeweler—it's quick and accurate. If you're measuring at home, do it at the end of the day when your fingers are at their largest. Avoid measuring when you're cold or right after working out. Also, wider bands need a slightly larger size than thin ones.

Jeweler sizing is most reliable
Measure later in the day
Skip cold weather or post-workout
Wide bands run tighter than thin ones
Most rings can be resized if needed

What ring styles are most popular?

Ring Styles

Solitaires are the classic—one diamond, clean design. Halos surround the center stone with smaller diamonds for more sparkle. Three-stone rings have meaning (past, present, future) if that appeals to you. Eternity bands have diamonds all the way around. Pick what fits how you live.

Solitaire: Clean, timeless
Halo: More sparkle, appears larger
Three-Stone: Symbolic design
Eternity Band: Diamonds all around
Cluster: Multiple stones, bigger look

What metal is best for rings?

Picking the Metal

Platinum is the toughest and won't irritate skin, but costs more. 14K gold is a good middle ground—durable and priced reasonably. 18K has nicer color but scratches easier. White gold looks like platinum but needs replating every few years. Rose gold has that warm, trendy look.

Platinum: Strongest, hypoallergenic
14K Gold: Durable, good value
18K Gold: Richer color, softer
White Gold: Needs replating over time
Rose Gold: Warm tone, popular right now

How should rings be cared for?

Ring Care

Clean your ring weekly with soap and water. Take it off for anything that might damage it—dishes, gardening, the gym. Have a jeweler check the prongs once a year to make sure stones are secure. Store it somewhere it won't get scratched.

Clean weekly with mild soap
Take it off for physical work
Get prongs checked annually
Store separately
Insure valuable rings

Can rings be resized?

Resizing

Most rings can go up or down about two sizes. Eternity bands with stones all the way around are tricky—sometimes not possible. Platinum is harder to work with than gold. If you're between sizes, a jeweler can help you figure out what's doable.

1-2 sizes up or down is usually fine
Eternity bands are harder to resize
Platinum costs more to resize
Sizing up is easier than sizing down
Takes about a week or two

Buyer's Guide

Diamond Stud Earrings Buying Guide

Diamond studs are one of those pieces that work anywhere—office, wedding, grocery store. If you're going to own one pair of diamond earrings, studs are the smart choice. Here's what to know before you buy.

What Size Should You Get?

Size depends on your budget, your style, and honestly, your earlobes. Studs are measured by total carat weight (both earrings combined), so a "1 carat pair" means each earring is about 0.50 carats.

For everyday wear, 0.50 to 1 carat total looks balanced on most people. Under 0.50 carats reads subtle and delicate. Over 1.5 carats makes more of a statement. If you have smaller earlobes, bigger isn't always better—they can look overwhelming. Try before you buy if you can, or start smaller and upgrade later.

Understanding the 4Cs for Studs

The 4Cs matter differently for earrings than for rings. Here's what actually counts:

Cut: This is where you don't want to compromise. A well-cut diamond sparkles; a poorly cut one looks dull. Always prioritize cut.

Color: G-H color looks white in studs and costs less than D-E-F. Most people can't tell the difference when they're on your ears.

Clarity: SI1-SI2 clarity is usually fine for studs. Inclusions that would bother you in an engagement ring disappear at earring distance.

Carat: Get the size that fits your budget after you've locked in good cut. A smaller, well-cut diamond beats a bigger, dull one every time.

Setting Styles

The setting affects both look and security:

Prong (3 or 4 prong): Shows the most diamond, lets in the most light. Classic choice. Four prongs are more secure than three.

Bezel: A metal rim surrounds the diamond completely. Very secure, modern look, but shows slightly less of the stone.

Martini: Three prongs with a V-shaped basket that sits close to the ear. Sleek and minimal.

Halo: Small diamonds surround the center stone, making it look larger. More sparkle, more presence.

Choosing the Right Metal

White gold and platinum are the most popular for diamond studs—they don't distract from the stone. Platinum costs more but never needs replating. White gold needs rhodium replating every few years to stay bright.

Yellow gold is making a comeback and can warm up the look. Rose gold adds a feminine touch. If you have metal allergies, stick to platinum or 18K gold—they're less likely to cause reactions.

Back Types Matter

The earring back determines comfort and security:

Push backs (butterfly): Standard, easy to use, but can loosen over time.

Screw backs: Most secure option. Takes a bit longer to put on, but they won't fall off.

La Pousette: Also called friction backs. Secure like screw backs but easier to use.

For expensive studs, we recommend screw backs. Losing a diamond stud is painful.

Natural vs. Lab-Created

Both are real diamonds with identical physical properties. Lab-created diamonds typically cost 30-40% less for the same specs. Natural diamonds have been forming underground for billions of years and hold their value differently.

For studs that you'll wear daily, many people choose lab-created to get a larger size within budget. For heirloom pieces, some prefer natural for the rarity factor. There's no wrong answer—just personal preference.
