Gemstone Sizes for Solitaire Jewelry
When choosing the size of your gemstone or diamond for solitaire jewelry, your personal style and jewelry type both come into play. When choosing your diamond, it is always important to consider the 4C’s (color, cut, clarity, and carat). For example, going big may not be worth it if your diamond doesn’t have the color or brilliance you want. You want to feel comfortable wearing solitaire jewelry, so comparing scale to pieces you already own can be a good starting point. You can also use our chart below for guidance:
| Diamond Carat Count | |
|---|---|
| Solitaire Earrings | Carat Size: .25 to 1 carat Why: Big enough for an impact without looking huge on your ears. |
| Solitaire Necklaces | Carat Size: .5 to 2 carats Why: A smaller carat suits delicate chains, where as a larger carat is great for special occasions. |
| Solitaire Rings | Carat Size: .25 to 2 carats Why: The size and cut you choose work together to enhance the interest and brilliance of your diamond. |
