Diamonds are a great investment since their prices usually go up and up. Many parents who can afford to give their baby a diamond earring usually invest in this kind of jewelry for future and present use. A baby diamond earring has certain requirements for the baby to actually wear it.
Choosing a baby diamond earring needs to be done carefully to avoid the loss of the jewelry and the injury of the baby. Ideally, a baby diamond earring should be a stud earring made of gold about 14 karats and above. Stud earring are those which are designed to stay put and are supposed to be difficult to catch on the hair, clothes and other baby things. Basically, the size of stud earrings for babies is supposed to no more than a few centimeters in diameter. This will help prevent entanglement compared to dangly earrings.
Some baby diamond earrings are designed to be set deep into the setting with no protrusions. This kind of design is ideal and quite modern but other designs may also suffice as long as it is a stud design.Â

The reason for using gold with a higher content is to avoid allergic reactions to other alloys mixed in gold with lower quantities of pure gold. A fake diamond earring can suffice but it should still be made of at least 14 karats gold to prevent allergic reactions in the baby. Some jewelry makers make their gold settings from white gold, which is less of an allergenic than lower forms or karats or yellow gold. A baby diamond earring should use gold which is no less than 14 karats since babies have sensitive skin.Â
Other than making sure that the quality of the gold baby diamond earrings is high, the piercing should also be done in a hygienic way to avoid infection of the wound. A pediatrician is better at this than mall piercing since the cleanliness of the equipment use for ear piercings in a mal may be less than that of a doctor's clinic.
When To Put
Many people have different opinions about when is the ideal time to put a baby diamond earring on the baby. Some pediatricians recommend putting the earrings right after birth to lessen the trauma of the ear piercing when the baby has grown a few years. Some parents, on the other hand, wish to wait for their daughters to be of the right age before putting on earrings. Some wait for their daughter to be ten or eleven before doing anything about the ear piercing.

Professional jewelry appraisals completed by gemologists and valuers often have to take into account the effect the jewelry hallmarks have on the value of each item being appraised.

I get similar questions on forums and ‘expert’ websites, together with my own members discussion group. They are usually in the following format, and in general the same questions get asked over and over again. They go… Continue reading Jewelry Hallmarks And What They Mean...
Traditionally engagement rings tended to be similar in appearance rather than very unique and individual. Often just a small twist on an old classic can take engagement rings in a completely new direction, making them unique and original without straying too far from the traditional. Brides that want a slightly different look for engagement rings that match their personal taste and style have lots of options to consider.
Diamond engagement rings offer a wide range of customization options. Most high quality jewelry stores and diamond merchants now offer the possibility of… Continue reading Out Of The Ordinary Engagement Rings...
