In all that can be said about diamonds, many times their setting can be ignored. After all, a diamond isn’t a piece of jewelry until it is cut, polished and finally, set into a piece of precious metal -making a ring, necklace, bracelet to be worn. A lot should be said about the setting. Even when considering diamond earrings, that don’t have much in the way of a setting, there are some things to be said about the setting. Your diamond earrings should be mounted in a screw back post. These have a nut and bolt style way of staying on your ear. Here is a warning: Check the tightness often, and readjust it tighter often. Many valuable earrings have been lost. Even though you have to go a long time, like days, without checking the backs to the screw posts, sometimes those who are not in the habit will forget, and the back unscrews all the way off the earring. Of course, then the diamond falls out along with the post. Bye-bye beautiful little stone –from the earth you came, to the earth you have returned. Diamonds put the icing on many different styles and types of jewelry. They can adorn a watch –guys or girls. They can be in the forms of: broach, ring, necklace, bracelet, and what year are we in? 2009? Oh, okay –belly button and nose jewelry too. Different cuts and sizes of diamonds are used according to the different types of jewelry they are selected for. Diamonds for diamond stud earrings will be shallower, but with a bigger circumference than a stone cut for a solitaire setting in a ring for instance. Gold and platinum are the precious metals that you will find diamonds set in. Platinum is an extremely hard durable metal, even rarer than gold. Platinum is excellent for rings, that is a piece of jewelry that sees a lot of wear and tear. Gold is durable, but much softer than platinum. The more pure gold is the softer it is. 24 karat gold is pure gold. 12 karat gold is 50% gold, with the other half made up of other metals, creating an alloy that is a lot less soft. Once you’ve done your homework on determining the quality and value of diamonds, you’ll be ready to couple that knowledge to the thing that you can’t be taught: Your own sense of style and taste. The piece of jewelry that you prefer to frame this valuable little extraordinary stone is your artistic choice. The diamond, with its natural beautiful properties along with the artistic cut, is a piece of art framed within another piece of art, the precious metal shaped into some ornate setting for the gem.
