How to Design Morganite Earrings Stud

Earrings have always been the perfect accessory to accentuate our facial features. You can find a pair for every taste and facial cut, thanks to the different types of earrings available. Among the different styles, studs hold an incredible power to elevate even the most basic outfit. But how do they do that? Although stud earrings appear understated, they are always in fashion and give every ensemble a subtle touch of flair and glitz.

Moreover, you don't have to stick to just plain metal studs. Did you know that gemstone studs are getting increasingly popular and in vogue? If you are looking for something that exudes your feminine taste, morganite earrings are the perfect choice!

Morganite Gemstone

Morganite is an alluring semi-precious gemstone known for its enchanting pink hues that range from blush pink and rose to decent peach. It has an impressive hardness score of 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale. 

Unlike other stones, morganite does not have a long history. It was discovered in California in 1910. While anyone can wear morganite gemstone jewelry, it is said to be beneficial for people born under the sign of Libra, Aquarius, and Taurus. 

If you are thinking of designing yourself a pair of studs featuring morganite stone but don't know where to get started, here's what you need to know!

Determine your budget

When we go grocery shopping or shopping for clothes, don't we always have a budget in mind? We do that so that we don't overspend. Moreover, having a budget helps make things easy for us. We can limit our options, making it convenient to find what we are looking for in a short time. And when it comes to shopping or designing stud earrings, things are no different.

Likewise, before you start designing your stud earrings, ensure you have a budget set. 

Find a reliable gemstone jewelry store

Nobody likes spending a considerable amount of money on jewelry only to get scammed in the end. That's why it is crucial that you find a gemstone jewelry store, whether online or offline, that is trusted and reputed, like GemsNY, Angara, James Allen, etc.

Have a design in mind

Now that you have a budget ready and have found a trusted gemstone jewelry store, it is time to get started with designing the stud. Do you have any design in mind? If you don't, you can either check some online or go through the custom earrings portfolio of the chosen store to get some inspiration and ideas.

Know the 4Cs

The 4Cs — color, cut, clarity, and carat weight— are the factors that help grade most gemstones, including morganite. It is important that you are familiar with these terms.

Color

Morganites are available in different hues of pink and orange, ranging from rose to peach. The rose and pink-hued stones are the most sought-after morganite stones. These undergo heat treatment which not only accentuates the pink tones but also protects the color from fading. 

Now that you know that morganites are available in different shades of pink and peach, you can pick the hue that suits your tastes.

Cut

Once you have decided on the gemstone color for your studs, determine the cut. Morganite gemstones can be cut into a variety of shapes, including the typical cuts (round, oval, pear, marquise, cushion, and princess) as well as any designer cut you have in mind. 

Clarity

While morganite gemstones may have some inclusions, these are usually not visible to the naked eye. 

Carat Weight

The next step after choosing the cut for your morganite studs is to determine the carat weight. Morganites are easily available in different sizes, ranging from big to small. 

Stud earrings setting

Now that you have your gemstone ready, the next step is to choose a setting for your stud earrings.

Here are a few popular earrings settings you can consider:

Bezel

Prong (3 or 4 prongs)

Halo

Place your order

You are just one step away from getting your dream morganite stud earrings! The next and final step after choosing the setting of the earrings is to place your order. Within a few days, you'll have your hands on your new studs!

Final Thoughts

Who knew that designing stud earrings was this easy? A pair of dazzling morganite earrings is a must-have if you want to show off your feminine side in an elegant yet stylish manner.
