stud earrings have never, and will never go out of style.
Over the last few years, however, trends have gravitated towards
bigger, flashier earrings. But with hairstyles moving back to
the shorter, sleeker look in 2006 you'll see a huge upsurge in the
popularity of diamond stud earrings. With a move towards
elegant simplicity large and over-exaggerated earrings are out, and
diamond studs are in. Once again celebrities like Charlize Theron and Sarah Jessica Parker will be setting the trends in 2006, with great emphasis put on classic, ultra-chic styles. As your most important accessories your earrings can make or break your outfit. Chose the right ones and you'll shine, but chose the wrong ones and you'll land yourself right down amongst the mediocre. With shorter hairstyles and classically elegant dresses - a la Audrey Hepburn - once again becoming the hottest fashions the only way to accessorize is with diamond stud earrings. Choose the right diamond stud earrings for you: The importance of choosing the right diamond stud earrings to match your personal style cannot be emphasized enough. There are so many different styles and qualities of diamond stud earrings out there that it's easy to get lost. Of course the first rule in choosing the right diamond stud earrings for you is to make sure they match your look. If you have a broader face you'll probably want to go with princess cut diamond. If your face is thinner you'll look best with round cut diamond studs. You'll also want to make sure that the metal used in the setting matches your skin tone. If you have a warm skin tone you'll look best in yellow gold, but if your skin tone is cool then the best fits will be white gold or platinum. One of the most important things to look at when buying your diamond stud earrings is the setting. Even the most beautiful diamond stud will look terrible in a bad setting. The key to the perfect setting is balance. In a poor setting, such as a crown style setting, the weight of the diamond stud is too far forward, making your diamond stud earrings droop, and creating an ugly effect. The best settings - the three-prong martini style or four-prong basket style - pull the center of gravity back, making the diamond stud fit snuggly and beautifully against your ear. Where is the best place to purchase diamond stud earrings: To get an idea of the different styles and prices that are available in diamond stud earrings it is more convenient to view them online before shopping around at local jewelry stores. Retail jewelers will carry a small to medium selection of diamond stud earrings, but you will find a greater selection online. Just type "diamond stud earrings" into an Internet search engine like Google or Yahoo and you will find several reliable websites that specialize in diamond stud earrings. The cost of diamond stud earrings is dependant upon many variables, such as size and quality of the diamond studs. Diamond stud earrings with a total carat weight of .50ct should cost between $500 and $1000, depending on the quality. Diamond stud earrings with a total carat weight of 2.00ct should cost between $5000 and $15000, depending on the quality. The classic look: 2006 is all about the classic look. Big hair and even bigger accessories are sooo last year. The final word on 2006 styles is short and sleek. Don't get caught out wearing over-large and over-exaggerated earrings. Keep it simple and elegant with diamond stud earrings. Article Source: http://www.ArticleBlast.com |
