Diamond Earrings

Shop Diamond Earrings By Style:

Diamond Stud Earrings

Diamond stud earrings are a subtle and timeless must-have for any jewelry collection. Despite being small, their minimalist impact is significant, making them easy to pair with daily wear, a cocktail dress, or a wedding dress. 

As the most popular gift option for diamond earring styles, our Brian Gavin diamond stud earrings are available in round, princess, or custom cuts to reflect your unique style. We also have custom-made Brian Gavin Diamond earring jackets, which fit around the basic studs, adding variety and flair, giving the diamond earrings an entirely new and fresh look. Our earring jackets come in bezel drops, diamond jackets, and heart jackets.

Diamond Drop Earrings

As the name suggests, diamond drop earrings give the illusion of a drop of diamond, gently hanging from the ear. Their graceful movement and sophisticated shimmer are perfect for a refined yet dramatic look at formal events. Our designs include delicate drops and bold, more eye-catching designs. 

Diamond Hoop Earrings

Diamond hoop earrings combine contemporary style with sophistication, with a full circle of shimmering brilliance. Whether you prefer slim, pavé-set designs or bold, inside-out sparkle, hoops are very versatile and can be stacked with other earrings or worn solo for maximum effect. 

Diamond Huggies

Sparkling subtly with a petite design, the trendy Diamond Huggies gain their name from their close, comfortable fit to the earlobe. Pairing perfectly with additional piercings, they are perfect for an elegant yet everyday look. 

Choosing the Right Pair of Diamond Earrings for You: What to Consider?

Match Your Style

The first consideration is choosing between classic and modern styles. For a chic, timeless style, you can go with classic diamond studs. They are understated, yet heighten any look. For a more vintage-inspired look, you can consider Bezel Stud Earrings or Diamond Drop earrings, which are particularly perfect for nightwear. 

For a more contemporary approach, diamond hoop or diamond huggie earrings may be better. Their refined, circular look is a breakaway from tradition, yet offers that brilliance you’ll have dreamt of.

Consider Sizing

Size matters in the diamond world, with diamond earring stones coming in a variety of sizes - from 1-carat to 5-carat options. For daily use and subtle elegance, go for a small stone. For a glamorous, eye-catching approach, consider a larger stone. If you have multiple piercings, you can consider a blend of stone sizes to create a sense of depth and contrast. 

Metal Choice

Just like with diamond rings, an earring set makes a big difference to the overall aesthetic. Brian Gavin Diamonds come in platinum, white gold, and rose gold. While platinum is the most durable and shining, a warmer touch from white gold or rose gold offers a softer, classic touch. 

Getting the Best Sparkle

If there’s one thing to remember about diamond selection, it’s that the sparkle is defined by the ‘cut’ more than anything else. While other factors are important, this is what you should be looking for when choosing a stone if your priority is how it reflects light. 

Round brilliant cut diamonds are generally the best option for diamond earring sparkle, with their 57-78 facets engineered for optimal light reflection. That’s especially critical in diamond stud earrings. Princess cuts also offer a sharp sparkle, but with a reduced effect. Finally, cushion and radiant stones will offer the softest sparkle but with a vintage appeal.

Diamond Earrings FAQs

What should I look for when buying diamond earrings?

Assuming you’re most interested in sparkle, then cut quality should always be your priority. After that, look for a stone with eye-clean clarity (flawless clarity is not necessary) and well-matched stones. You’ll also want to choose a color that matches your style and a high-performing diamond seller such as Brian Gavin Diamonds. 

How much should 1 carat of diamond earrings cost?

High-quality 1-carat diamond studs typically range from $1,000 to $6,000 for natural diamonds. Lab-grown diamonds can reduce your price. However, pricing depends considerably on the 4Cs (clarity, cut, carat, and color) and your metal of choice. 

What is the best cut of diamond for earrings?

Round brilliant cut diamonds are considered the best for sparkle, making them our most popular choice. However, if your preference is more about modern edges, then you may prefer princess cuts. Softer light play can be found in oval, cushion, or radiant cuts. 

Are diamond earrings good for sensitive ears?

Yes. Just make sure that you get a pair of diamond earrings with hypoallergenic metals like platinum, 18k gold, or titanium. We advise you to avoid earrings with nickel alloys, which are a common cause of irritation.
