When it comes to timeless elegance and versatility, few pieces of jewellery can compete with the beauty of diamond stud earrings. Whether worn daily or reserved for special occasions, they are an essential staple in any jewellery collection. At Morgan & Co, we believe that every woman deserves to shine, which is why we offer a stunning range of diamond studs in various shapes, sizes, and settings to suit your style and budget.

Why Diamond Studs Are a Must-Have

Diamond stud earrings are the epitome of sophistication and timeless appeal. Unlike trendy jewellery pieces that may fall out of fashion, a classic pair of diamond studs will always be in style. They effortlessly complement any outfit, from casual everyday wear to formal attire, making them one of the most versatile investments in fine jewellery.

Our Favourite Diamond Shapes for Stud Earrings

The shape of your diamond studs plays a significant role in their overall appearance. Here are my top five favourite diamond shapes for stud earrings:

1. Round Brilliant Cut

My personal favourite, the round brilliant cut, is a timeless classic. With 58 facets designed to maximise light reflection, round diamonds sparkle beautifully, making them the most popular choice for diamond studs. For a sleek and modern look, you may opt for a martini setting, which allows the diamond to sit closer to the ear. If you prefer a more traditional style, a bezel setting adds a refined touch while offering extra security.

2. Oval Cut

Coming in at number two is the oval shape. Oval diamonds offer a unique and elegant twist on the classic round stud. Their elongated shape creates an illusion of greater size and adds a touch of sophistication to any look. Oval studs are perfect for those who love a distinctive yet timeless design.

3. Cushion Cut

Cushion cut diamonds have soft, rounded edges that exude romance and charm. With their vintage-inspired appeal, cushion studs bring a sense of old-world glamour while maintaining a modern elegance. Their unique faceting enhances their brilliance, making them a stunning choice for diamond studs.

4. Marquise Cut

For those who love a bit of drama, marquise-cut diamonds are an excellent choice. Their elongated shape is both flattering and eye-catching, giving the illusion of a larger diamond. Marquise studs add a touch of boldness and individuality to your jewellery collection.

5. Radiant Cut

If you love maximum sparkle, radiant cut diamonds are for you. Known for their incredible fire and brilliance, radiant studs combine the best features of the emerald and round cuts, resulting in a dazzling effect. They’re perfect for those who want to make a statement with their diamond studs.

Selecting the Perfect Diamond Size

The size of your diamond studs will determine how subtle or striking they appear. If you prefer a delicate look, smaller carat weights such as 0.25ct or 0.50ct per ear offer a refined sparkle. For a more noticeable presence, 1.00ct or larger per ear creates a bold and luxurious statement. At Morgan & Co, we can help guide you through the ideal size based on your personal style and budget.

Choosing the Right Setting

The setting of your diamond studs is crucial in determining their overall look and security.

• Bezel Setting: A bezel setting encases the diamond with a thin metal rim, providing a sleek and modern look while offering maximum protection for the stone.

• Martini Setting: A martini setting has a conical shape, allowing the diamond to sit flush against the ear for a minimalist and sophisticated appearance.

• Four-Prong Setting: The classic four-prong setting holds the diamond securely while allowing maximum light to pass through, enhancing its brilliance.

Understanding Earring Backs

The right earring backing ensures your diamond studs remain secure and comfortable. At Morgan & Co, we offer three main types:

• Push Backs: The most common and easy-to-use option, push backs are great for everyday wear.

• Screw Backs: These provide extra security by threading onto the post, making them less likely to fall off.

• Locking Backs: The most secure option, locking backs feature a mechanism that firmly holds the earrings in place, offering peace of mind for valuable diamond studs.
