Solitaire Simplicity

CONTRIBUTED BY FABIO PERIERA

A woman’s jewellery collection should always have a few staples. Two of them are a set of diamond solitaire studs and a solitaire diamond pendant.

A pair of solitaire studs are not costume jewellery. This is an investment in a pair of earrings that, if well cared for, you will wear for the rest of your life. So, when picking a pair of solitaire studs, first note that a pair of studs listed as one carat means that each stud is one half carat; size you diamonds accordingly. Remember that they need to have been hand selected by a real human to make sure the solitaires match. Moreover, make sure you get them in the right color; you’re looking for G-H-I color and VS2 or SI clarity for a sparkle that will last as long as you do.

When it comes to solitaire pendants, the rules on carat, selection, and color all still apply. The key rule to remember, then, is that like buying solitaire studs, solitaire pendants should be guided by a choice of what is elegant and simple.

Because the key thing to remember about buying diamond solitaire studs and solitaire diamond pendants is that they act as magnifiers for the light in your eyes. So, what really makes the diamond shine is you.
