Earrings with diamonds
Even in the most ancient times, when jewelry was practically inaccessible to the common people, girls tried to dress up and adorn themselves in every possible way, let alone modern society, where jewelry is abundant.
Among all the jewelry, earrings are in the greatest demand, and there is not a single girl in whose casket there is not at least one pair. Earrings decorate, give a slightly different look to the outfit, and some even set off the eyes.
What can we say about a product with diamonds, which is a luxury item not available to every fashionista.
Peculiarities
Diamonds have attracted a lot of attention in any era, and since they became part of jewelry, they have become the subject of much discussion and an object of desire.
Earrings with diamonds look spectacular and luxurious, no matter what size the stone is - they will always shine noticeably in ladies' ears.
Let's take a closer look at which models are most popular, to whom which earrings are suitable, how to care for them and how to recognize the authenticity of the product?
Models
The range of earrings is quite wide, so every fashionista will be able to choose a stylish pair based on her preferences, suitable even for the most unusual outfit.
Carnation
The universal among all models, since they are small, neat earrings that are inserted on one side of the ear and fixed on the other.Elegant carnations can be just metal, or they can be decorated in the form of small precious stones.
Fashion trends have made some changes in the usual look of studs, which are also known as studs, and small elegant earrings have become much larger in size and bolder in decor. Nowadays, studs are decorated with large stones, pearls, bows and a scattering of diamonds.
Track
The model has a characteristic name that is fully reflected in the appearance of the product. The thing is that the product is a small narrow rectangle decorated with a large number of small diamonds that form a kind of path.
Congo
The Congo model looks very beautiful, which is a ring of different thicknesses and diameters - they can be either very small or huge, sometimes even reaching the shoulder line.
Congos have a variety of designs, depending on which the style of the earrings is determined.
The décor in the form of tassels and feathers brings the model closer to the hippie style, while neat beads and a spiral design coexist quite well within the framework of the classics.
By the way, this particular model in various designs is presented in the collections of the Cartier jewelry house. In addition, there are some pretty interesting studs and simple dangle dangle earrings.
Long
Perhaps the most popular are long drop earrings. This model has the widest variety, among which you can find earrings both for everyday life and for a party, as well as for a ceremonial appearance.
Geometric
Large items, decorated with many stones, most often have the form of some geometric shapes. The most common are the rhombus and the circle, while the square, rectangle and triangle are extremely rare, only in the collections of eminent designers who make unusual jewelry.
Sometimes long earrings in their design resemble small bunches of grapes, and sometimes the model has a more feminine look thanks to thin iridescent chains, with a small decorative element at the end. The number of such chains on one earring is not limited.
The form
Earring shape is another feature that distinguishes one model from another. Forms can be different, and each of them has its own characteristics and advantages. Sometimes, along with the shape of the product, its character is also determined, so you should be careful with the choice.
Raspberry - a popular model since the times of the USSR, has this name, since the shape of the decorative element, decorated with a scattering of diamonds, resembles a raspberry berry. Such earrings look, albeit restrained, but very elegant.
Earrings - butterflies look very interesting, creating a feeling of lightness, summer warmth and girlish mischief. A model of this shape will suit feminine persons filled with energy, glowing and romantic girls.
The drop shape is quite common in the manufacture of volumetric models, where the droplets resembling tears are fastened together to form a pendant. Most often, "grape bunches" and diamond-shaped models are made from just such parts.
Such models are also called chandeliers, due to the large number of decorative pendants.
Products in the form of flowers are popular. It can be small roses, funny seven-flowered flowers or elegant lilies, on the petals of which small diamonds flaunt.
Models in the form of various birds, animals and reptiles look unusual and are extremely popular this season. Depending on individual preferences and character traits, you can choose a more pretty or more extravagant product.
Clasp type
Earrings differ in the type of fastener, which should be strong, protecting the product from loss, because it will be quite a shame if the diamond jewelry is imperceptibly lost.
The most reliable is the English clasp, consisting of a small hook inserted into the ear and a paw with a hole that grips and holds the hook. The guarantee of the reliability of such a lock is a click heard when the fastener is fastened.
If the sound is strong, then the product is in excellent condition, but if a quiet, barely noticeable click is heard or is completely absent, then you should think about the serviceability of the fastener.
The French lock is no less reliable, since the fixation is provided by a foot that fits into a special loop. It is very important that earrings with such a lock are made of hard metal that does not lend itself to deformation.
The Italian clip-on lock, which is attached to the ear thanks to a special thin pin and a clip-on mechanism, is less reliable and practical. Such a model can be removed quite easily, despite the pin inserted into the ear.
The stud lock is presented in the form of a pin with a special fastener. There are also options for locks such as a bracket, a hinge, and even a pin.
Materials (edit)
The materials used to make earrings are quite varied, you can find many options for luxury or more budget items that are quite suitable for the cost of girls with an average income.
But still, with regards to models with diamonds, it should be noted that they are made exclusively of precious metals, which provide reliable fixation to the stones and durability of the product itself.
Metal
Gold earrings look gorgeous, but not all gold is of high quality or suitable for jewelry making. The quality of gold is determined by the breakdown. The most common fineness in jewelry is 585 and 750, it is this kind of gold that is the highest quality and most suitable for jewelry purposes.
Earrings can be made of classic yellow gold, more sophisticated when using white gold and more romantic when using pink. And some items are made of combined gold.
Such models have a higher cost, but they also look incredibly sophisticated due to the combinations of precious metals of different colors.
Silver jewelry is also popular, but this material is rarely used when it comes to diamond earrings, since it has inherent softness and is easily deformed. But silver is very often used to make details that complement gold earrings.
The most expensive, as well as the most durable and with the most advantages are diamond earrings made of platinum. Platinum is also often used in alloys of white gold, which is why it has the appropriate hue.
Stones
Of course, the main adornment of luxury earrings is diamonds, but there are several varieties of them, each of which deserves special attention. In addition, diamonds are very profitable and interesting to combine with other precious stones.
With other stones
For example, with sapphires, the traditional shade of which is deep blue. This model will look great on dark-haired girls with blue and gray-blue eyes, shading them. Iridescent sapphire looks very impressive surrounded by the sparkle of diamonds.
But diamond earrings with emeralds will be an excellent choice for brown-haired women with green and brown eyes. The shade of the stone will accentuate the bright color of the hair and will be in perfect harmony with the color of the eyes.
Earrings with pearls, decorated with a scattering of small diamonds, look luxurious. This model is most often made of platinum or white gold, since pearls are not always combined with classic yellow.
Earrings made of yellow gold with topaz, around which there is a scattering of small diamonds, are perfect for light-eyed blondes and girls with light brown hair.The blue tint of the stone will bring a sense of lightness and tranquility to the image.
For passionate, extravagant natures who prefer liberation and sensuality in their outfits, there are many different options for models of earrings with rubies and diamonds. Ruby speaks of the social status of the girl, since even in more ancient times this stone was a favorite adornment of the beautiful representatives of the aristocracy.
Types of diamonds
A classic diamond has a silvery shade resulting from the iridescence of its facets under the influence of the sun's color. Natural stone has no haze, always sparkles, and is easily distinguishable from fakes.
Earrings with classic large white diamonds are sure to make a splash at any party where you appear. The product will not only complement any look, making it more elegant, but will also tell others about the sophisticated taste of the girl.
Earrings with large stones can be presented both in the form of studs and in the form of large long items.
Small stones are rarely used for independent decoration, unless, of course, we are talking about the "Path" earrings model, more and more small stones are used in compositions with larger diamonds or other types of jewelry.
Quite an interesting model - earrings with a dancing diamond. The stone is in a kind of weightlessness, thanks to a special fastening technology, and therefore the effect of such an unusual dance is created.
In addition to all the options described above, there is also an equally beautiful model of earrings with cognac and black diamonds. Such products look unusual and very luxurious.
Models by age
Earring models can be matched by age. For example, small carnations in the form of hearts, flowers and animals are suitable for young girls.
Larger and voluminous models are suitable exclusively for adult ladies
Manufacturers
Many jewelry houses are engaged in the development of new models and production of diamond earrings. Some of them represent luxury products, while others take into account a wider range of buyers from the middle segment of the population.
Chopard
The creator of the great brand achieved worldwide fame at only twenty-four years old, without special education and support from wealthy parents, since he came from an ordinary family of farmers.
Louis-Ulysses Chopard started his business with the creation of masterpieces in the world of watches, creating a real sensation. Even the most noble people from all over the world dreamed of taking possession of the product he created. This is how the Chopard brand appeared, which over time began to produce not only watches, but also diversified jewelry products.
The earrings of this brand have a very sophisticated and feminine appearance.
The models are divided into several collections reflecting a certain stylistic theme, but only two of them have diamond decorations, namely: Happy Diamonds and Ice Cube.
Sokolov
The brand began its existence back in 1993 and from the very beginning specialized in the production of jewelry. The founders of the company are the Sokolov family - Alexey and Elena, and the design of the first jewelry was developed personally by Alexey.
Initially, an exclusively domestic brand was widely developed and now the retail trade network is located in many countries of the world, including Switzerland.
Sokolov brand earrings represent something surprisingly sophisticated and delicate, but at the same time bright, inspiring and unusual. The assortment is incredibly wide, which allows you to choose earrings for any occasion and for every taste.
Fashion trends
Earrings in the modern world are very popular, which is not at all surprising, since no image is complete without stylish jewelry in the ears. But it is important to choose not just a beautiful pair, but also the one corresponding to the fashion trends.
Many girls prefer not to purchase a product from well-known brands, but to have exclusive custom-made earrings. The model in a single copy will puzzle others and cause enthusiastic and envious glances.
Classic studs of both small and large sizes are still in vogue. This model is in no way inferior in design to many others, but in many respects surpasses other models in convenience and practicality.
But also branded products should not be written off. Every girl dreams of getting beautiful diamond earrings with a big name, the design of which was developed in the most famous jewelry houses.
How to choose the right one?
- You should not choose such an expensive product messy, you need to pay close attention to this process.
- It is especially worth examining the authenticity of the product and its quality. If there are scuffs and chips, you should refuse to buy, since it will definitely be a cheap fake.
- It is necessary to study in more detail the methods of identifying fake stones.
- Otherwise, you should choose earring models based on individual preferences, the case for which they will be worn and the type of face.
Who is this or that model suitable for?
Many models, undoubtedly, provide a wide choice and corresponding demand, but every girl should know which product is worth choosing for her. The thing is that the earrings are in close proximity to the face, so they can play an important role in the visual correction of the oval.
For example, small carnations are universal and suitable for almost everyone, since they do not have any effect on the oval of the face. But large round models are suitable for slender girls or young ladies with a slight plump figure.
Girls with very curvaceous shapes should choose studs of an unusual and asymmetrical shape, without smooth, rounded lines, in order to divert the emphasis from a round, full face, attracting attention with unusual earrings.
For girls with a full face, models of earrings with prevailing vertical lines, for example, long ones with a large number of chains, sharp and sharp outlines and many straight lines in the decor, are also suitable.
For slender ladies with sharp features, rings and round earrings are perfect, which will help soften the outline a little. And pretty girls with a soft oval face and mouth-watering cheeks should pay attention to large dangling earrings.
How to distinguish from a fake?
A product purchased in a good jewelry store does not need any special methods of determining the authenticity, since it comes with the appropriate documents certifying the quality of the gold and the authenticity of the diamond.
If the purchase was made from hands or in a pawnshop, you should carefully examine the earrings in order to make sure for sure. And here's what you should pay attention to, first of all:
- The stone should have a bright luster, obtained due to a high degree of refraction;
- A diamond has transparency, but through it you can hardly see anything. If the outlines of objects are visible through the stone, most likely, in front of you is a fake;
- The cut of a real diamond is not visible through the stone;
- The diamond is characterized by a double refraction effect;
- A good quality real diamond does not have a rainbow glow, its reflections can be in different shades of gray;
- The diamond is perfect and symmetrical on all sides. If there are any chips and defects in the form, this is definitely a fake;
- To determine authenticity, one can breathe on the stone. If it remains clean and does not fog up, the diamond is genuine; if turbidity appears, it is a fake;
- A genuine solid diamond is not visible in water;
- It is possible to determine the authenticity of the stone by weight, comparing the result with the corresponding table;
- A real diamond is always only in a branded setting, that is, earrings must necessarily have a sample;
- When exposed to ultraviolet light, a genuine diamond gives off a blue glow;
- A real diamond leaves cutting marks on the glass and does not deform under the influence of sandpaper.
How to clean?
With prolonged daily use, even diamond earrings can lose their original shine, as the secreted sebum accumulates on the product, making it dull. To restore the shine to the product, you need to clean it. But how can this be done at home?
There are several fairly simple ways:
- In any jewelry store, you can purchase a set for cleaning jewelry, and then proceed according to the attached instructions;
- Diamond earrings can be easily cleaned at home using liquid soap, warm water, and a soft bristled toothbrush. You should not choose a hard brush so as not to injure the metal;
- You can use any cleaning products available at hand. For example, a liquid for cleaning tiles or windows is suitable;
- For cleaning, you can also use a solution of soda, hydrogen peroxide or ammonia;
