- Are these real diamonds?
- They are lab-grown diamonds, which have the same carbon structure and hardness as mined diamonds. They are not simulants like cubic zirconia.
- How big do these look on the ear?
- Each stone is about 5.75mm across, roughly half a carat per ear, for 1 1/2 carats total. That reads as a noticeable but not oversized stud.
- What do SI1-SI2, G-H mean?
- Clarity SI1-SI2 means slight inclusions that are usually hard to see without magnification. Color G-H is near-colorless, with a faint warmth visible mainly next to higher-color stones.
- Are the backs secure?
- They use friction posts with friction backs, the standard push-on style. They hold well for normal wear but are easier to dislodge than screw backs.
- Can I wear them every day?
- Yes. The 14K gold and four-prong settings are durable for daily wear. Remove them for swimming, heavy exercise or sleep to protect the settings and backs.
- Do lab-grown diamonds hold value?
- Very little compared with mined diamonds. Buy them for how they look and wear, not as an investment.
