Is $769.99 a good price for 1/2 ct tw diamond studs?

It is in line with mall-jewelry pricing for 1/2 ct tw in 10K gold. With only one store listing them new at $769.99 as of November 4, 2026, there is no cheaper new price to compare against, so check whether a 14K pair at a similar price suits you better.

Are these earrings 1/4 ct per ear?

Yes. The 1/2 ct tw figure is the total for both earrings, so each ear holds about 1/4 ct of diamonds.

What is the difference between princess-cut and round-cut here?

Princess cuts are square with pointed corners; round cuts are circular. Mixing them gives a pair with two different shapes of sparkle rather than a matched look.

Will friction backs stay on securely?

Friction backs push on and hold by tension. They are fine for daily wear but can loosen over time, so check the fit and consider having a jeweler tighten them.

Is 10K white gold good for everyday earrings?

10K gold is 41.7% gold, so it is harder and more scratch-resistant than higher karats, but its white color comes from alloy and plating that can wear. It is a reasonable choice for studs at this price.

What comes in the box?

KAY typically ships stud earrings as a pair with backs in a jewelry box. Confirm the pair and backing type on the listing before ordering.
