Star Stud Earrings

Star stud earrings set in silver and diamonds are mostly the things these days. However, for anybody who prefers darker shades, earrings made with black onyx are one of the best they could have when it comes to jewelries. The darker hue of the onyx stone makes a perfect contrast to the platinum or sterling silver metal that holds them.

Onyx studs may have lost their fame for a while but it is surely paving its way back to stardom.

As it is widely known the earth holds billions of people with varied race and cultures. However the tradition each different race has, they still share a common connection. It is that stud earrings are worn by different people from different races.

Stud earrings are everyone’s favorite around the globe. Any person from the different life status definitely has at least a pair of these studs. Long ago, only women wear the stud earrings. But these days, men and women alike wear them.

Usage of stud earrings even got more popular when black onyx was applied. The most popular style of onyx studs usually come in an oval or rounded design. Like regular diamonds, black onyxes are also cut in shapes like teardrops, squares, triangles or pears.

Popular brands of star stud earrings are Sabrina Silver, Creative Ventures Jewelry, 925 Silver Jewelry by NewOutlet, Gem Avenue, Eve’s Addiction, West Coast Jewelry and Blig Jewelry.

The usually black onyx for women measures 3 mm, in some 6mm to 9 mm, which are medium sized.

The medium sized black onyx is already large enough to attract anybody, but for some who prefer a better show of their onyx stones, they can opt to choosing those that measure 100 mm. This large black onyx can stress the ear holes since it is quite heavy considering its size. If the black onyx is to be given to children, a smaller diameter should be chosen for them.

Originally, black onyx is paired with 14k or 18k yellow gold. But with jewelry innovations nowadays, black onyxes are now being paired with white gold and sterling silver. The lighter shade of the silver and the white gold perfectly go together with the darker shade of the onyx.

For a more affordable substitute, a stainless steel can be used. These are practically cheaper than precious metals. Plus, the stainless still prevents the onyx from being damaged since it is not corrosive.

These are best choices for men who want to look great with onyx but are on a tighter budget.

Titanium can also be used to match with the black onyx. This is best for people who are hypersensitive to metals. Since titanium is hypoallergenic, this could be great for them. Platinum is another choice for pairing with black onyx.
