Step 1 — Set budget & style
Choose jewelry type and setting
Before diving into the world of platinum earrings, set a budget. Knowing how much you want to spend will help narrow down your choices. Think about the style you prefer. Do you want classic studs, elegant hoops, or something more unique? Each type has its charm and can fit different occasions.
Step 2 — Prioritize the 4Cs
Cut first; practical color/clarity picks
The 4Cs—cut, color, clarity, and carat weight—are crucial when selecting diamonds for your platinum earrings. Start with the cut, as it affects how the diamond reflects light. For color and clarity, choose options that balance beauty and budget. You don’t need the highest grades; practical choices can still look stunning.
Step 3 — Compare with Rare Carat
Filters, saved lists, expert checks
Use Rare Carat’s tools to compare different earrings. Their filters allow you to sort by price, style, and more. You can also save your favorite options for later. Plus, expert checks ensure you’re making a wise investment.
Step 4 — Verify reports & policies
GIA/IGI; returns and warranties
Always verify the certification of your diamonds. Look for GIA or IGI reports to ensure quality. Additionally, check the return policy and warranty. This will give you peace of mind in case you change your mind.
Step 5 — Choose setting & order
Sizing, shipping, insurance
Finally, decide on the setting for your earrings. Make sure to get the right size, especially for hoops or drop earrings. Consider shipping options and whether you want insurance for your purchase. This will protect your investment.
