If you were watching the Golden Globes last night, you probably couldn't help but notice that diamond studs dominated the red carpet.

South African-born actress, Charlize Theron, lit up the red carpet with a vintage diamond head band, classic diamond stud earrings and a pear-shaped diamond ring, which complimented her soft makeup and dusty rose Dior Couture gown. 

Theron's look couldn't have been more different from Best Foreign Film nominee Angelina Jolie, who brought out the big guns with her giant red lips and even more giant 25 carat diamond stud earrings to match her dramatic Atelier Versace gown.

Actress Claire Danes mixed it up a bit by sporting square diamond studs, while Evan Rachel Woods wore her studs accented with black enamel and set in yellow gold instead of platinum.

No matter the size, shape, or setting, diamond stud earrings can round out your jewelry wardrobe nicely. As the Golden Globe actresses illustrate, diamond studs can be personalized to your own individual style, and they are incredibly versatile, transitioning easily from day to night and from casual to dressy. May we suggest a few of our favorite designs:

The beauty of round brilliant diamond stud earrings is particularly timeless when set simply in platinum. We tailor this design to the price point you're comfortable with. The round brilliant shape is flattering on everyone and sophisticated and full of fire with or without a micropave halo setting.

If you already own the classic round stud, a square cut diamond stud can be a great alternative to add to your earring rotation. A bit sportier, these square cut studs are still distinctive and delicate and, like the round shape, can be worn everyday or for a special occassion. Another fabulous alternative to your go-to round diamond studs is this exquisite clover design.

Whether you're sweeping your hair back for a black tie event or throwing on jeans and a sweater, these diamond stud options will add polish to any look.
