The red carpet at the Oscars is where the world turns for fashion cues. And while diamonds are to be expected, diamond necklaces weren’t as prominent this year as they have been in the past. Diamond earrings, however, made a very strong showing.

While Penelope Cruz opted for a stunning diamond necklace, other starlets were sporting gorgeous diamond earrings. Most notable were Anna Hathaway, Kate Winslet, and Nathalie Portman. All of whom are sure to set off a real trend in diamond earrings. The best part about diamond earrings is that there are a number of different diamond earring styles that can all bring a different look to any outfit you pair them with.

If you are looking at adding some diamond earrings to your collection, here are some pointers:

• Diamond stud earrings are like the blue jeans of jewelry. They go with anything and are almost always a good choice.
• Diamond hoop earrings come in a variety of sizes. Smaller hoops are what most women will opt for. Larger hoops can sometimes seem grandiose. If your outing is very special, however, larger hoops are sure to make a splash.
• Diamond circle earrings are a little bigger than diamond hoop earrings, and will hang off the ear a little bit. This is the look that is really coming into favor right now. Partly, this is because people are looking at diamond earrings as a way to make a statement. And partly it is because diamond circle earrings come in a variety of different styles, so you are sure to find some that match you perfectly.
• Journey diamond earrings are a big seller at SuperJeweler.com. The elegance of the journey curve is naturally beautiful and, frankly, no other diamond earrings go better with a little black dress.

Still, the ultimate guide is to know your style first. The shape of your face will have an effect upon how certain diamond earrings will work for you. If diamond circle earrings make your face look unusually thin, then perhaps journey diamond earrings give you the accentuation you need. Remember, jewelry should compliment your natural beauty, not try to change it.
