Studs that sparkle without the heirloom anxiety

What reviewers say

Questions and answers

Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?

Yes. They are chemically and physically identical to mined diamonds, just grown in a lab. They have the same hardness and sparkle.

How big are 1/4 carat total weight studs?

The 1/4 carat is the combined weight of both stones, so each is about 1/8 carat, roughly 3 mm across. They read as small, neat studs rather than statement pieces.

Will the silver tarnish?

Sterling silver tarnishes over time, especially with perfume, sweat and humidity. Store them dry and polish with a soft cloth to keep the shine.

Can I wear them in a second piercing?

Yes. The small size and light weight suit helix, tragus and second-lobe piercings, though check that the post length fits your piercing.

What comes in the box?

Expect the pair of earrings with butterfly backs. Gift packaging varies, so confirm with the seller if you need a box for a present.

How do they compare with white gold studs?

White gold is harder and resists tarnish better, but costs more. These silver studs are a lighter, lower-commitment option for the same lab-grown stones.
