Zales Perfect Diamond Earrings

Zales perfect Diamond Earrings For You:

The most important thing to remember when choosing your Zales Diamond Earrings is that quality shows. Poor quality diamond earrings, far from making you look good, in fact, take away from your natural beauty. Higher quality is often worth the extra money.

When looking for quality diamond earrings you first must look at Zales Diamond Studs being used. Remember the four C's of diamond quality: cut, clarity, color, and carat.

The cut of a diamond is all-important. More than any other attribute, it is the cut that makes a diamond brilliant and beautiful. To tell if a diamond stud has a good cut simply look into it and see if it reflects the light evenly and brilliantly. If you see dark spots then the diamond has been cut too deep. If the diamond appears opaque then it has been cut too shallow. Zales Diamond Earrings  with poorly cut diamonds will appear dull and lifeless. But if the diamonds are cut well your diamond earrings will shine brilliantly.

The Clarity Diamond Studs 

No less important is the clarity of the diamonds in your diamond earrings. The clarity of a diamond is judged by how many inclusions, or flaws, can be seen in it. Obvious flaws in a diamond stud will mar its beauty and change the way it reflects light. For this reason, you want to stay away from diamonds graded "Ia" or lower. All diamonds graded SI2 or higher are "eye clean", meaning no flaws can be seen by the naked eye. Zales Jeweler Diamond Studs graded I1 or I2 have slightly visible inclusions, but represent a great value, especially in diamond earrings, as the inclusions will become less visible when put into the setting.

One last thing to look at when buying diamond earrings is carat. Carat size has nothing whatsoever to do with quality, and everything to do with quantity. Of course, larger diamond studs will have a more dramatic effect, but bigger isn't always better. You should only take carat size into account where it concerns the price range you are comfortable with Zales Jewelry Store
