The Diamond Edit: Here’s Your Robust Guide To Buying The Best Diamond Earrings

There’s something about diamond studs that feels eternal— they’re the kind of piece you can wear every day and still catch yourself admiring in the mirror years later. But as I recently learned, finding the perfect pair is far more nuanced than just picking the biggest sparkle in the box.

When I sat down with Bhumi Khimavat, the founder and designer behind Miraki, it quickly became clear that her approach to diamonds is anything but ordinary. Bhumi, who comes from a family deeply rooted in fine jewelry, brings a contemporary, soulful perspective to the craft— one that blends technical precision with an intuitive understanding of beauty. Miraki, her brainchild, was born out of a desire to make high-quality, consciously crafted diamond jewelry that feels as personal as it is luxurious. Think timeless pieces with a quiet edge and everyday staples that still manage to feel special. It’s caught the attention of celebrities like Dove Cameron, Kali Uchis, Tate McRae, Alicia Silverstone and, of course, us.

“We are living in an era of choice, and that is what makes it so exciting,” Khimavat explains, alluding to the growing interest in fine jewelry for a younger generation. Lab-grown stones, whimsical settings, and fancy colors and shapes are all adding to the new appeal of the classic diamond stud, with collectors often buying this piece first when beginning their fine jewelry journey. “As we move through 2025 and beyond, the focus is on intentional personalization. People are mixing metals, exploring sculptural gold, and embracing asymmetry to create jewelry that mirrors their evolution and individuality rather than simply their style,” Khimavat notes. “We truly do believe that this is what conscious luxury means.”
