A New Twist on a Classic: Fancy Shaped Diamond Studs

Diamond studs are a go-to accessory and an essential item to a well-appointed jewelry box. They’re a versatile and purely elegant choice, akin to the little black dress, equally appropriate worn day or night at the office or a fancy evening out.

While typically set with round diamonds, fancy shape stud earrings—Asscher, princess, cushion, oval, and pear—are a distinctive and fresh take on this classic style.

Square shapes, such as princess, Asscher, and cushion are a more subtle variation.

Oval and pear shaped diamond studs may make you feel as though you’re getting more bang for your buck. The shape of the stones makes them appear larger than a standard round diamond of the same carat weight.
