\"Does<\/div>\n

If you’re buying a pair of diamond earrings, like diamond studs (see image right), does it matter what the clarity of those stones are?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nI’m here to say: <\/strong><\/p>\n

NOT REALLY!<\/h2>\n

\nWhy doesn’t clarity matter so much?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nBecause people never get that close to the earrings<\/strong> to see quality. They don’t grab your ears and pull your head closer to get a better look (can you imagine?<\/strong>) People won’t get near enough to scrutinize the stones to really see if there are a couple of black spots<\/strong> here and there. <\/p>\n

They just don’t!<\/h2>\n

\nPlus, with diamond studs, the stones are usually under 1\/2 carat each (1.00 carat total weight<\/strong>). Which means, even if they did get close enough to see the flaws, the stones are so small a piece that you wouldn’t see much<\/strong> anyway.<\/p>\n

\nThat’s the great thing about diamond earrings. You don’t need a really high clarity of diamond<\/strong> (VS, VVS) like you would in a bridal ring.<\/p>\n

No one’s going to know the difference<\/h2>\n

\nThis is also why 99% of all the diamond studs sold on the market today are lower clarities, like I1, I2 and I3<\/strong>. Just understand that I clarity is a huge range, and some I clarity diamonds face up well, and others look like crap. <\/strong><\/p>\n

I clarity defined:<\/h2>\n

\nThe definition of I clarity is “eye-visible<\/strong>“. They are included diamonds that have eye-visible flaws in them. Flaws like clouds, cracks, carbon spots, black specks and such. But when you put these small stones in your ears, from any distance, and especially if they are partially covered up by your hair, no one will see them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s good!<\/h2>\n

\nPlus, buying nice looking I clarity diamonds won’t cost you an arm and a leg<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

What should you look for?<\/h2>\n

\nWhen shopping for diamond earrings, there are 4 main things that will drastically improve your odds of getting a pair of kick ass earrings<\/strong>…<\/p>\n
