- Are these earrings real diamonds?
- They are lab-grown diamonds, which have the same optical and physical properties as mined diamonds but are grown in a lab. The listing grades them SI1-SI2 clarity and G-H color.
- How big are the stones?
- Each earring is 4mm across and the pair totals 1/2 carat, so each stone is roughly 1/4 carat. They are a small stud, closer to an everyday size than a statement size.
- What kind of backs do they use?
- They use friction backs, which push onto the post and rely on tension. They are simple to put on but less secure than screw backs for active wearers.
- Is white gold a good choice for everyday wear?
- 14K white gold is durable enough for daily wear and keeps a bright, neutral look. It is rhodium-finished in most cases, so it may need re-plating over time to stay bright white.
- How do these compare with four-prong diamond studs?
- The three-prong setting leaves more of the diamond visible and gives a slightly different look, while four-prong settings cover more of the stone's edge. Both are common; the choice comes down to how much of the stone you want showing.
