Are these real diamonds?

Yes. They are lab-grown diamonds, which have the same carbon structure and hardness as mined diamonds but are made in a lab.

What does SI clarity mean here?

SI1–SI2 means slight inclusions that a jeweler can see under 10x magnification. They are usually not visible to the naked eye in a stone this size.

Is 10K white gold good for earrings?

10K gold is 41.7% gold, so it is harder and more scratch-resistant than 14K or 18K. It looks slightly less white and its rhodium plating can wear over time.

How big is a 0.5 carat round diamond?

A half-carat round diamond is roughly 5 mm across, about the size of a small pea. That reads as a noticeable but modest stud.

Do lab-grown diamonds hold value?

No. Lab-grown diamonds cost far less to produce and resell for a fraction of their retail price, so buy them for wear, not investment.

About the KAY Lab-Grown Diamonds Round-Cut Solitaire Stud Earrings 10K

These are single-stone stud earrings from KAY: a round lab-grown diamond of about half a carat set in 10-karat white gold. The diamond is SI1–SI2 clarity, so inclusions are visible under magnification but usually not to the eye. They suit someone who wants a clean, everyday diamond stud without mined stones. Against mined-diamond solitaires they offer the same look for less, but the 10K gold is softer and less bright than 14K or 18K, and SI clarity sits below the VS stones many rivals use.
