Princess Cut Lab-Grown Diamond Stud Earrings vs Gilded 1/2 Carat Lab-Grown Diamond Solitaire Studs

Buy the Renaissance Jewel princess-cut pair if you want a square, modern look with a bigger total weight and a higher color and clarity grade. Buy the Gilded round studs if you want a smaller, lighter everyday pair in the classic round shape. The Renaissance pair is certified IGI and rated 4.8 from 40 ratings, but owners warn the prongs are thin and the stones can look smaller than the stated carat weight. The Gilded pair is simpler and lighter, with fewer owner reports to go on.

• Choose the Renaissance Jewel princess-cut studs if you want square stones, a screw-on back and a colorless, VVS-graded matched pair.
• Choose the Gilded round solitaire studs if you want a light, classic round pair for daily wear and stacking.
