Questions and answers

Are these real diamonds?

They are lab-grown diamonds, which have the same carbon structure and hardness as mined diamonds but are made in a lab. They are not diamond simulants like cubic zirconia.

How big do they look on the ear?

Each earring is about 4 mm wide, and the halo of small stones around the center makes the pair read larger than a plain 1/3 ct. stud. They sit close to the lobe rather than dangling.

What are the backs like?

They use friction backs, which push on and hold by tension. They are fine for daily wear but easier to lose than screw backs, so check the fit and consider replacing them with locking backs.

Is 14K white gold good for sensitive ears?

14K gold is a solid alloy and is usually fine for most sensitive ears. It is not nickel-free in every case, so ask about the alloy if you have had reactions to white gold before.

Can I wear them every day?

Yes. The prong-set halo is the main caution: it can catch on hair, scarves and sweaters, so take them off before dressing or sleeping.

Do lab-grown diamonds need special care?

No. Clean them like any diamond with mild soap, warm water and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals and store them separately so the prongs are not scratched.
