How To Choose 1 Carat Diamond Studs

Diamond studs at 1 carat total weight are the size most people picture when they imagine a classic pair. That weight is measured for the pair rather than each earring, so a 1 carat total weight set places roughly half a carat in each ear. It is large enough to notice across a table and small enough to wear every day. The setting shapes the look as much as the size does. A martini setting sits the diamond low and close to the lobe. A basket setting lifts it slightly and frames the stone in metal, while a three-prong setting shows the most diamond. As a first diamond gift, 1 carat studs are an easy choice: they suit everyday wear, work with any outfit, and are simple to upgrade to 2 carats later. The question of lab-grown or natural is settled before you begin. Every Amorati diamond is lab-grown, physically and chemically a diamond, and held to E-F color and VS+ clarity, so the decision comes down to the setting she will love wearing.
