Buying Guide

When selecting lab diamond earrings, consider the mounting style based on your lifestyle and comfort preferences. Screwback studs offer maximum security for valuable pieces, with options in standard or heavy weight construction. Prong settings (3-prong or 4-prong) showcase the diamond's brilliance, while complete hinged hoops provide continuous sparkle. Our collection features VS/SI+ to VS+ clarity grades and F+ to G+ color grades, ensuring eye-clean diamonds with excellent sparkle.

Price points range from around $397 for 1/8 carat hinged hoops to over $1,000 for 2-carat certified studs in heavy weight settings. Yellow gold offers a warm, classic look while white gold provides contemporary elegance. Total carat weights span from 1/8 to 2 carats, with popular options at 1/4, 1/3, 3/4, and 1 carat increments. For gifting or daily wear, consider studs in the 1/4 to 1/2 carat range, which balance presence and wearability at accessible price points between $450-$650.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?

Yes, lab-grown diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds—they're pure carbon crystallized in the same cubic structure. They share the same hardness (10 on the Mohs scale), brilliance, and fire, and are graded using the same 4Cs standards. The only difference is their origin: lab-grown diamonds are created in controlled environments rather than mined from the earth.

What's the difference between screwback and standard post earrings?

Screwback earrings feature a threaded post that screws into the backing, providing superior security for valuable diamond studs and preventing accidental loss. Standard posts with friction backs (butterfly backs) are easier to put on and remove but may loosen over time. For earrings with higher carat weights or significant value, screwbacks are highly recommended for peace of mind during daily wear.

How do I care for my lab diamond earrings?

Clean your lab diamond earrings regularly with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft brush to remove oils and residue that can dull their sparkle. Have the settings professionally inspected annually to ensure prongs remain secure. Store earrings separately in a fabric-lined jewelry box to prevent scratching, and remove them before swimming, exercising, or applying lotions and hairspray.

What does VS/SI+ G+ clarity and color mean?

VS (Very Slightly Included) and SI (Slightly Included) indicate clarity grades where inclusions are minor and typically not visible to the naked eye, ensuring beautiful, eye-clean diamonds. G+ color grade means the diamond is near-colorless (G grade or better), appearing bright white when mounted. These grades offer excellent value, providing stunning appearance without paying premium prices for characteristics only visible under magnification.
