How To Design The Best Diamond Nose Stud In Your Budget

If you’ve found your way to this page, it’s likely because you’re searching for the best diamond nose stud for yourself or as a thoughtful gift. Based on my experience, diamond nose studs are a convenient and fuss-free gift option. However, before you start shopping, ensure you or the person you’re gifting it to has a nose piercing.

With over two decades in the jewellery industry, I often encounter questions about which nose pin to buy, how to buy it, and where to buy it—some of the most common inquiries.

Once you decide to buy the best diamond nose stud, you have two options:

• Buy one that’s already made.
• Create your design for a diamond nose pin.

Let’s talk about both options.

1. Go with What’s Readily Available:

• Your Jeweler: You’ve probably heard “My Jeweler” before, especially if you’re from Asia. Many have long-standing relationships with jewellers who have served their families for generations. However, as a first-generation jeweller, I recommend exploring new-age options.
• Online Jeweler: There is a vast list of reputable online jewellers akin to their offline counterparts. Google search might lead you to some of the best diamond nose pin options.

2. Customize Your Best Diamond Nose Stud

Are you wondering where to begin? We will help you simplify the process. And trust me, there is no greater joy in designing your jewels. 

Let’s guide you through the process of designing a diamond nose stud along with a jeweller while optimizing your budget:

First and foremost, conduct thorough research. Research is invaluable, and I highly recommend it. Start by doing some research. Having a clear idea of the design and look you prefer is essential. Research also helps you avoid overpaying for a product that could cost less. Bringing some designs you like to the jeweller can be helpful.

Secondly, set a budget. Believe it or not, some customers believe that not revealing their budget to the jeweller will prevent them from being overcharged. However, let me share a little secret: jewellers make a profit no matter what. Like everyone else, they, too, are in the business of making money. But if you’ve done your research, as I mentioned earlier, and provided a budget, trust me, they will know and charge you a fair price. It’s a win-win.

Ask your jeweller to work backward on the budget. Providing a clear budget to the jeweller is advantageous. They’ll consider the amount you want to spend, subtract metal and workmanship costs, and then suggest stone options or designs that fit your budget. This saves you time and effort and optimizes your spending to find the best diamond nose stud there is.

Options for Different Budgets:

• Low Budget: You have several affordable diamond nose stud options, such as tiny diamond nose pins (0.01ct – 0.25ct), coloured diamond nose pins, and lower karats of gold (10kt or 14kt instead of 18kt). You can even consider sterling silver over gold.
• Mid Budget: Explore cluster diamond nose pins, mid-sized single diamonds (usually between 0.25 to 0.5 carats for a delicate look), or fancier designs.
• High Budget: If you’re looking to splurge, you can go for a large-sized solitaire diamond nose stud (over 0.5ct to 1ct) with excellent quality. There are also multi-diamond nose rings or nose hoops and fancy-cut solitaire diamond nose studs.

Have a design you love but need help to fit your budget?

Here are your options if you don’t want to compromise on the size of the diamond or the design and still want the best diamond nose stud:

• Consider a lower grade of clarity, colour, or cut (refer to our diamond cost guide).
• Opt for lab-grown diamonds.
• Choose a lower gold karat.
• Consider sterling silver for setting the stone instead of gold.

By following these steps and considering your budget, you can find the perfect diamond nose stud that suits your style and preferences while making a well-informed purchase.

To sum it up, buying the best diamond nose stud can be fun and affordable if you follow a few steps:

• Do your research to know what you want.
• Decide on a budget and tell the jeweller.
• Let the jeweller know what you’re looking for.
• Consider different options based on your budget: low, mid, or high.

And if you find a design you love but it’s too expensive, you can make some changes, like choosing a lower-grade diamond or using lab-grown diamonds to make it fit your budget. So, go ahead and pick the best diamond nose stud that suits your style and wallet!
