However, knowing which sizes are available and considering your own features and which sizes suit certain occasions better will really help. This is what we will now discuss. Firstly, let’s briefly look at how the size. The price is affected by the diamonds size.
How the size of a diamond stud affects price
The size of a diamond is essentially decided by how many carats it contains (its overall weight). It works out that 1 carat = 0.02g if you wanted to get down to the finer details. You will find in your search of diamond studs that the bigger they are, the higher price they will fetch. This is usually because the bigger diamonds are particularly unique as mining them is very tricky.
Here’s what to look out for when considering the best size for you…
- Knowing what they’ll be used for: This really comes down to which occasions you’ll wear them and which outfits you will pair the studs with. Larger studs work well in dressier settings such as balls or formal dinners whereas more subtle sizes (anything below 2 carats in weight) are good for dinners with friends and parties.
- Knowing your body type: your body shape will dictate which sizes look better on you then others. For example, smaller sizes will suit slender shapes whereas the bigger size stud will stand out more on a fuller figure.
- Knowing your face shape also counts as smaller and narrower face shapes seem to lend themselves nicely to a lighter carat weight.
- The choice of setting will impact how big the stud is too. Whether you go for a prong setting or a bezel, it will really help set the stone nicely. If you want to create the perspective your diamond is bigger than it actually is, a bezel setting works wonders!
Now you know a few ways to choose the right diamond size for your needs, you will definitely walk away with a winning pair.
