Choosing the Right Size and Setting

When selecting classic stud earrings, consider the size of the diamond, the cut, and the type of setting. Smaller carat weights offer a delicate and understated look, while larger stones make a bolder statement.

Popular settings include:

  • Four-prong settings – Hold the diamond securely while allowing maximum light to enter.

  • Bezel settings – Encircle the diamond with metal, offering a sleek and protective style.

  • Martini settings – Allow the diamond to sit closer to the ear for a refined look.

The team at Van Drake Jewelers can guide you through these choices to help you find the pair that fits your style and comfort.

Metal Choices Matter

The setting metal frames your diamond and can subtly change its appearance.

  • White gold – A modern favorite that pairs beautifully with the sparkle of diamonds.

  • Yellow gold – Adds warmth and a classic feel.

  • Platinum – Offers durability and a naturally white finish.

  • Rose gold – A romantic choice with soft pink tones.

Each metal has its own charm, and your lifestyle and skin tone can help determine which is best for you.

An Heirloom for Generations

For mothers searching for a piece that can be passed down, diamond studs are a perfect choice. Their classic design means they will remain fashionable for decades. With proper care, they can become a cherished heirloom—just like that vintage watch or engagement ring in your family.
