- Are lab grown diamonds real diamonds?
- Yes. They are grown in a lab and have the same carbon crystal structure, hardness and optical properties as mined diamonds. Only a gemologist's equipment can tell them apart.
- What does 1.5 ct. t.w. mean?
- It means the two stones together weigh about 1.5 carats, so roughly 0.75 carat per earring. Each stud will look smaller than a single 1.5 carat solitaire.
- Will the VS to SI clarity be visible?
- Usually not at arm's length. VS stones are clean to the eye and SI stones may show tiny inclusions only under close inspection or magnification.
- Are these safe for sensitive ears?
- The posts and settings are 14K gold, which most sensitive ears tolerate well. If you react to nickel, confirm the post alloy with the seller before buying.
- How should I care for them?
- Remove them before swimming, showering or applying lotion, and wipe with a soft cloth. Check the prongs and backs periodically, since loose settings are the main way stones get lost.
- Do they come with a diamond grading report?
- Lab grown studs at this size often ship without an independent grading report. Ask the seller whether a certificate is included if documentation matters to you.
