- Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?
- Yes. They have the same carbon crystal structure, hardness and optical properties as mined diamonds. Only their origin differs, which is why they grade on the same G/VS scale.
- What does G/VS mean?
- G is a near-colorless grade, so the stones look white to most eyes. VS means very slightly included: tiny flaws that are hard to see without magnification.
- How big do these look on the ear?
- Each stud is 7.8mm across, roughly the width of a pencil eraser. That is a substantial everyday size, larger than the typical 5mm to 6mm stud.
- Is a rub-over setting secure?
- A rub-over, or bezel, setting wraps a metal rim around the stone's edge, so there are no prongs to catch on hair or clothing. It is one of the more protective settings for daily wear.
- Will 9K white gold wear well?
- 9K gold is 37.5% gold, so it is harder and more scratch-resistant than higher karats but can lose its rhodium plating over time. Replating restores the bright white finish.
- What comes with the earrings?
- The pair of earrings and a five-year guarantee are included. Check the listing for the earring backing type and any presentation box.
