What are diamond cluster earrings?

Diamond cluster earrings are a type of diamond stud earring. FYI: stud earrings are any type of earrings that don't hang from your ears, rather they are secured by a simple, straight post back and held in place by a friction back or a 'clutch'. Stud earrings almost appear to be stuck onto your ear lobe. Most diamond stud earrings are diamond solitaire stud earrings, meaning that they feature one single diamond in each stud. Diamond cluster earrings are almost always diamonds stud earrings that feature more than one diamond.

While diamond stud earrings come set with diamonds of a variety of different shapes and with a variety of different settings, diamond cluster earrings have even more range in style and fashion. Many times diamond cluster earrings will feature a central colored gemstone with a diamond frame. There are also diamond cluster earrings that feature many small, pave set, diamonds. Some can be set to look like flowers, others like leaves, and others simple geometric shapes. Like all diamond earrings, the diamond cluster can be set in almost any precious metal, but are typically set in white gold, yellow gold, or platinum.

The nice thing about diamond cluster earrings is that they are a bit more ornate than regular diamond solitaire earrings, and they are also have more style. Regular diamond solitaire stud earrings, while beautiful and elegant, are also simple in design. Diamond cluster earrings, on the other hand, are far more intricate and complex, and can add a real air of sophistication and maturity to a look. They work especially well with formal dress, since they are small and delicate, don't over-power an outfit, but are a bit more intricate and elaborate than simple diamond solitaire stud earrings.

Note: very rarely you will find diamond drop cluster earrings, however, the stud design is more popular.
