What to look for when purchasing button back diamond earrings?
When purchasing button back diamond earrings, it is important to consider the quality of the diamonds, the craftsmanship of the earrings, and the overall design. Look for earrings that are made with high-quality materials and attention to detail to ensure that they will stand the test of time. Additionally, choose a design that complements your personal style and preferences. Similar to the modern bezels, collets are metal bands that surrounds the gemstone. The band of the collet hugs the stone, securing it in place while maximizing visibility of the diamond, enhancing the beauty of the stone and adding a layer of sophistication to the piece.
