In ancient times, jewelry symbolized a person’s status and position in society. Later, diamond jewelry was used as a sign of wealth and power. Today, diamond jewelry has become a symbol of love and devotion. The gift of diamond jewelry often marks the most special occasions in life including engagements, weddings, baby births, birthday celebrations and graduations.
The classic types of diamond jewelry include earrings, rings, bracelets, necklaces, and pendants.
Diamond Jewelry: Earrings
There are two basic types of diamond earrings: posts or wires for pierced ears and clips for non-pierced ears. Post earrings use a clutch, nut or some other form of backing to hold the earring in the ear. Post diamond earrings with a single diamond at the end are called stud earrings. Wire diamond earrings have a wire that slips through the ear and sometimes have a hook device in back. Clip earrings use a hinged clip to hold the earring to the ear.
