D-Color Diamonds: A Symbol of Perfection and Prestige by Spectra Fine Jewelry

When you see diamond studs, do you immediately think of tennis players from the 1980s or hip-hop artists from the early 2000s? In women’s tennis, the only part of the competition was gameplay. Half the fun of tuning in for the spectator was keeping tabs on the Martina Navratilova-Chris Evert women’s singles diamond stud rivalry. Seemingly every few matches, their diamond studs got larger, with neither player wanting to lose to the other in this regard. Hip-hop jewelry throughout the ages likewise tells a tale of status where each artist acquired jewelry to mark the milestones reached throughout their careers. Your fit, short for an outfit, and what you wore to the battle allowed you to showcase your status, wealth, and overall "flyness" to the audience and other competitors. Just like Martina and Chrissie. And as your status continued to evolve, so did your jewelry. Around this time, the term “bling bling” became a part of the American lexicon, and in April 2004, it was officially added to the Oxford English Dictionary.

These Contemporary Diamond Stud Earrings, made by Spectra Fine Jewelry in the 21st century, are beautifully matched, featuring a pair of round brilliant-cut diamonds with an estimated total weight of 2.49 carats. The diamonds are accompanied by two reports from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) stating that one diamond weighs an estimated 1.31 carats of D color and VS1 clarity, and the other weighs an estimated 1.28 carats of D color and VVS2 clarity. Each stone is mounted in classic four-prong settings crafted in 18K white gold. The earrings are designed for pierced ears, outfitted with posts and locking backs.

The (GIA) color scale is the industry standard for diamond grading. The GIA diamond color grades range from D to Z, and a D-color diamond is the ultimate colorless perfection. D color diamonds are extremely rare—the highest color grade that money can buy, with only eight percent of customers opting for D color diamonds. In this superlative pair of diamond studs, both are D color, set in a white metal which preserves the pure icy look. Far beyond a fashion statement, diamond studs are powerful and a true coming-of-age luxurious gift, whether you treat yourself or receive them. They quietly announce, “I have arrived.”

1.31 carat round brilliant diamond, D color, VS1 clarity, and 1.28-carat round brilliant diamond, D color, VVS2 clarity; both accompanied with GIA certificates. Total diamond weight approx. 2.59 carats. Overall weight approx. 2.20 grams, made in 18k white gold; circa 21st Century.
