womens diamond earrings

Most styles are sterling silver, frequently with a rhodium-plated finish; some designs are finished in 18kt yellow gold over sterling silver (gold over silver).

Closures include standard posts with friction/post-clutch backs, screw backs, and French wire/earwire styles, depending on the design.

Many listings show white diamonds in the H–I color range with clarity grades around I2–I3 (some items noted as I3).

The selection includes amethyst, garnet (including rhodolite), citrine, peridot, stabilized turquoise, topaz, tourmaline, and some listings that include lab-grown diamonds.

Listings show black and white diamonds and options such as blue and champagne diamonds; treatments noted for some gems include heat treatment or irradiation.

Many sterling silver styles recommend wiping with a polishing cloth, while multi-gem and gold-over-silver pieces often recommend professional cleaning.

Some smaller sterling silver styles are labeled “9 Years and Up,” while larger multi-gem drop and chandelier styles are labeled for adults.
