Round shaped diamond earrings come in two main cuts; brilliant cuts of diamond earrings allow the light to come through the stone creating a highly sparkled effect. This is one of the most popular cuts of diamond earrings, and interestingly enough is the most chosen for diamond earring gifts.

Heart shaped diamond earrings have been popularized with days like Valentines Day. The heart setting is created with a cut of diamond that is flat upon the top, and has many facets created to make the heart shaped diamond earrings sparkle. These earrings are a perfect gift, regardless of the holiday – and can add a different direction to the jewel box. Heart shaped diamond earrings are available at most stores, especially around Valentine’s Day – but can be special ordered to suit the occasion from most jewelers if they are not in stock.

Fancy shaped diamond earrings include; marquis, pave diamonds and bevel style diamond earrings. Pave style diamond earrings include various smaller stones fitted together to give the illusion of a larger stone within the diamond stud earrings. Earrings that have been created to have a bezel cut are flush with the mounting, so the stone does not protrude. Using fancy shaped stones allows the diamond to appear larger and more elaborate because of the unique cutting styles.

Regardless of which style is chosen, the shape will remain timeless – as all diamond earrings do. Fancy cuts are most often found in drop earrings, whereas the basic cuts such as princess, emerald and brilliant are reserved for the traditional diamond stud earrings.
