Man first fell in love with diamonds almost
3,000 years ago, when ancient Hindu warriors started to wear rough diamonds as talismans against
their foes and evil
spirits.
As time passed, jewelers developed techniques to cut, polish and set diamonds, alone or with other
gemstones, in precious metals to produce various forms of jewelry, including many styles of what are typically
known as black onyx diamond earrings . The marriage of diamonds and black onyx is something to behold, with each highlighting the beauty
and elegance of the other.
If you are thinking of purchasing a set of black onyx diamond earrings , we think the following information will help you make an informed choice and
perhaps help you find some great deals in the process!
These onyx and diamond earrings, like all others, come in a
variety of designs that are based off of the major styles, which are;
Stud
style: These
earrings consist of a round, square other shaped gemstone or diamond and fasten tightly to the earlobe
by means of a post and clasp device. A classic design, stud earrings have literally been worn for centuries
and are depicted in many ancient statues, inscriptions and wall mural, etc. They are simple in design and
are a favorite of many men and women.
Drop
style: These earrings typically consist
of a gemstone or diamond which hangs downward from the earring base setting. Another simple, yet elegant
earring design that is very popular among women of all cultures, they dangle from the ear the length of the hanger
can vary in length.
Chandelier
style: Typically, these earrings have
multiple level branches that are suspended from the base setting. Gemstones, diamonds and metalwork are often
combined in producing the "chandelier effect" and this style is usually worn during formal
events.
Hoop
style: Consisting of a round or oval
shaped hoop that attaches to the wearer’s ear, these earrings are extremely popular and come in a wide range of
textures, lengths and thicknesses. They often combined onyx and diamonds in very intricate metal settings
and are worn for casual and formal events.
Black onyx diamond earrings utilize the standard hanger arrangements that are associated with other types of
earrings. We’ve listed them below:
Lever backed
hanger: This hanger is a unique design
that is worn by people with or without pierced ears. The back of the hanger flips (like a door opening and closing)
and hold tight against the base of your ear to secure the earring.
French Hoop
hanger: This type of hanger is round
with and opening at the base to allow it to penetrate your ear and hold the earring in
place
Fish Hook
hanger: As you may have guessed, this
hanger looks like a fish hook, with the "hook" portion actually piercing your ear in order to secure the
earring.
Screw On
hanger: Used by those who do not have
pierced ears, these hangers have a screw type locking mechanism that holds the earring to your ear. This type of
hanger was used extensively in the past, but is not seen as much in contemporary black onyx
earrings.
These earrings can be found at many, but not all jewelry
stores. They are considered a more sophisticated and quite often, a more expensive style of earring and
typically only high end stores carry them as part of their standard in-store inventory. All reputable
jewelers have the means to order them for you and there are many dealers that sell them online. These online
stores provide you with the ability to shop and compare literally thousands of pairs of these
earrings.
In our opinion, buying online black onyx earrings is the
smartest option for those who have time to conduct research and price comparisons. If you have never
purchased diamond jewelry before, we recommend that you take the time to visit various online sources of
information on this and educate yourself on the various aspects of carat, color, clarity and cut associated
with diamonds used in making earrings.
While black onyx jewelry is usually not associated with very
high prices, diamonds certainly are and you should conduct extensive research and price comparisons prior to
making your purchase. Make sure that you ask any dealer about the warranty that accompanies the earrings and
what type of damages are covered under it, as well as the replacement policy, should one
exist.
We hope we’ve helped educate you on some of the main points to
consider when purchasing a set of black onyx diamond earrings . We wish you the best of luck as you search for a pair for your loved
one.
