Introduction to the Brand

Tiffany and Co. has been a leading retailer of diamond and gemstone jewelry for over a century now. It is particularly known for its superior quality, swoon-worthy jewelry and diamonds. Right now, Tiffany is trusted by millions of its loyal customers and has become a household name among wealthy clients. One of its most talked about products has been the solitaire diamond stud earrings.

In this article, we will be reviewing the solitaire diamond stud earrings by Tiffany to see if they are worth the hype.

Appearance And Aesthetics

In terms of aesthetics, the solitaire diamond stud earrings excel tremendously and truly live up to Tiffany’s reputation. They are small and minimalist, yet distinctly classy and regal.

The diamonds in these earrings are of the perfect cut. This imparts them with extraordinary brilliance and light reflection, making them dazzle across the room.

The sparkle of these diamonds is further enhanced by the setting of these stud earrings. The four prong setting makes the diamond bulge out a little, instead of being embedded in the metal. This allows more light to fall on them and be reflected.

As the diamond in these stud earrings sits above the ear lobe, it appears more elegant and dainty than most other settings. In addition to this, the four prong setting also means that the metal part is almost invisible. Thus, you can wear these earrings with yellow gold, rose gold or silver jewelry without looking odd.

While their platinum solitaire diamond stud earrings are the most popular and sought after, Tiffany also offers these in 18K rose gold. This allows you to pair these earrings with your gold jewelry.

Quality

Tiffany is known for offering products that are built to last a lifetime, and the solitaire diamond stud earrings are no different. They are the epitome of skilled craftsmanship, as they are hand cut and hand polished. This makes these earrings excel in terms of quality, like other Tiffany products.

The diamonds in these earrings are carefully selected and scrutinized to ensure that they are of the highest possible standard. The cut, clarity and color are graded after meticulous testing and only the diamonds that are near to flawless in all these parameters are selected to be fitted in these stud earrings.

The color of these diamonds is between D and J on the grading scale, while clarity lies between SI1 and IF. You can select diamonds based on your budget and Tiffany and Co. are sure to have it.

Tiffany has its own gemological laboratory in New York, which issues grading certificates to these diamonds. This laboratory is claimed to have a stricter criteria for grading than other institutes, which means that one can be sure of the quality of these diamonds. Moreover, Tiffany is known to source its diamonds ethically, and from environmentally and socially suitable mines, which is a great plus.

The Tiffany solitaire diamond studs are available in platinum and rose gold, which are two of the most superior quality metals and will not tarnish or get discolored, even with daily use.

All in all, the quality of these solitaire diamond studs is exceptional and top notch.

Warranty And Customer Services

Tiffany has a massive following of millions of loyal customers. The credit for this greatly goes to the brand’s impeccable customer service, which makes their clients feel valued and at home.

Like all of their products, the diamond solitaire stud earrings are also backed by a lifetime warranty. If the diamonds in the earrings are not as promised in the certificate, Tiffany offers prompt return and refund. Furthermore, there is also a no-questions-asked return policy. Tiffany also offers complimentary cleaning of these earrings, and polishing and repair for a fee all over its stores.

Tiffany allows you to speak to their advisors, or reach out to the customer care team in the care hours if you wish to get more information or advice regarding your purchase. This will allow you to pick the stud earrings with the best specifications according to your preference and budget.

Price And Value For Money

Tiffany is one of the most high end jewelry brands, so it is not surprising that its solitaire diamond stud earrings retail for a significantly higher cost than similar stud earrings without a brand label.

The price of a particular example that I configured was $2050 for a total weight of 0.31 carat. Another example with a total carat weight of 0.22 carat was listed at Tiffany’s website for $1350.

On the other hand, earrings with similar specifications can be bought for as low as $700 on local jewelry stores with no brand tag. The hefty cost difference raises questions on their value for money, mainly because you can not even tell the difference between Tiffany and local diamond stud earrings when they are worn.

While there is no denying that Tiffany earrings are very expensive and not for everyone to invest in, the supreme quality is worth the price tag for those who can afford it. As these are made on order and only available on the official Tiffany website, these solitaire diamond studs have a high resale value as well.

Conclusion- Should You Consider Buying Them?

So far it is clearly evident that Tiffany solitaire diamond stud earrings are a massive investment which is likely to put a big dent on your pocket. At the same time, however, the premium quality and brand name mean that they are meant to sit somewhere on the top of the price list.

Therefore, the decision regarding whether or not these stud earrings by Tiffany are worth investing in, is a personal one and depends on an individual’s preference and budget.
