Trade In & Trade Up: the Amazing Value of Diamond Studs

Trade In & Trade Up: the Amazing Value of Diamond Studs
Author: 
Hingham Jewelers

Fine, high quality jewelry can be expensive, that's not lost on us. But fine jewelry also lasts years, if not generations.

Of all the fashion jewelry we sell at Hingham Jewelers, diamond studs may offer the best value.

Why Studs Offer Such Value

Diamond studs are a piece of jewelry that many people wear daily, making the "cost per wear" very low.

Take a pair of 1 ct. total weight diamond studs, for example. If you wear those earrings every day, as most people do, for five years the cost per day works out to be about $1/day.

Trade In & Trade Up Program

But wait, there's more!

Natural diamond stud earrings purchased at Hingham Jewelers are automatically enrolled in our trade in and trade up program.

As long as you bring the diamond studs to us in like-new condition--no bent posts, missing earring backs, or damaged prongs--you will receive your original purchase price back to upgrade to the next size up.

So if you purchase a pair of diamond studs for $500, then decide you want to upgrade to a larger pair of studs a few years later that would cost $1,000, you would only owe $500.

How many things retain value like that!?

You can upgrade as often as you like.

Which Quality is Best

We offer diamond studs in any quality you like, but most of our studs land in two main categories: engagement ring quality or traditional earring quality.

Engagement ring quality offers cleaner, whiter diamonds.

Traditional earring quality allows for a larger size, with slightly lower color and clarity.

The idea is that when you have diamonds in your ear, the quality can be a little lower. After all, how many people look intently at the diamonds in your ear, as compared to an engagement diamond on your finger!

We always recommend that you come by to see the qualities in person, and try on different sizes. They look different on your ear than on our display tray!
