Choose the Right Setting and Metal

Secure Settings for Daily Life

For everyday wear, opt for a secure setting, such as solitaires with six or four prongs and bezel settings. well-crafted screw-back studs. Bezels protect the diamond and provide excellent protection when you're active or tend to be with children often, and prongs reveal more stones; however, they should be checked frequently for wear.

Choose the Best Metal

Comfort and Lifestyle: Practical Tips

• Training and sleeping:
  A lot of people are able to sleep with a few studs; if your earrings feature low-profile settings generally, they're good. If you are involved in contact sports or heavy lifting, think about removing them or changing to an easier-to-secure bezel when you're doing your workout.

• Swimming and showering:
  Although water will not damage diamonds, chlorine and salt water may cause the weakening of metal settings with time. It is preferable to take them off prior to swimming.

• Work environments:
  If you are working with machines in healthcare or in labs, you must follow the rules of hygiene and safety. Sometimes, removal from shifts is suggested.
