Product Type: Earrings

These lab grown diamond stud earrings hold two round brilliant diamonds, a quarter carat for the pair, in four-prong baskets of solid 14K white gold that close with push backs. A lab grown diamond is a real diamond grown in a lab: the same carbon crystal as a mined stone, with the same hardness and the same fire.

  • Solid 14K white gold Gold alloy through the whole piece rather than a plated base, finished in rhodium for a bright white surface.
  • An eighth carat each One round stone per ear, quiet enough to wear in a second piercing as well as the first.
  • Near colorless or better White stones that match the metal instead of warming against it.
  • Open basket setting Light enters the diamond from below and around, not only through the table.

What Lab Grown Means for Studs

Lab grown diamond earrings carry stones made from carbon under heat and pressure, or grown layer by layer from a carbon-rich gas, rather than mined. The result scores 10 on the hardness scale and is graded for cut, color and clarity on the same scale as a mined diamond, and the Federal Trade Commission's jewelry guides call it a diamond as long as it is clearly described as lab grown. To the eye, these stones look exactly like mined diamonds, and that hardness means daily wear will not scratch them.

Clarity Graded VS2 to SI1

VS2 and SI1 are the grades where a grader finds small inclusions under 10x magnification. On a stone an eighth of a carat in size those marks are smaller still, and the cut, graded very good, keeps the sparkle lively. Color is near colorless or better, which matters in white gold: a white stone in a white setting shows no yellow edge, so each stud looks like one clean point of light.

A Quarter Carat on the Ear

The ruler photo in the gallery shows each stone at about 3 mm, roughly an eighth of an inch, which is the size that sparkles at conversation distance without looking like a statement. Four prongs hold the round stone evenly at the corners, while the basket keeps the stone low against the ear so the stud faces forward instead of drooping. Push backs make them quick to put in each morning. Press each back up the post until it stops, and check both by touch once a week, since friction backs ease with wear.

Everyday Life in Diamond Studs

Will white gold turn yellow? The rhodium finish can wear thin over years, and then the faintly warmer tone of 14K white gold shows through. A jeweler can refresh it with a new rhodium dip in one visit.

Do lab grown diamonds get cloudy? No. The crystal does not change. When studs look dull, lotion or soap has left a film under the stone. Soak them in warm soapy water, brush under the setting with a soft toothbrush, and the sparkle returns.

Can I swim in diamond studs? The diamonds do not mind water, but chlorine is hard on 14K gold alloys and a lost stud is hard to find in a pool. Take them out for swimming and put them back once you are dry.
