- Are black diamonds real diamonds?
- Yes. Black diamonds are genuine diamonds, usually treated or naturally opaque, so they are hard and durable like white diamonds. They simply lack the transparency that gives white diamonds their sparkle.
- Is 1/2 ct tw big enough for a stud?
- A half carat total across two earrings means roughly 1/4 ct per ear, which is a modest but clearly visible size. It reads as everyday rather than statement.
- Will the sterling silver tarnish?
- Sterling silver can tarnish over time, especially with exposure to moisture, perfume and air. Store the earrings dry and wipe them with a silver cloth to keep them bright.
- Is $412.99 a good price?
- It is the only new price listed as of November 7, 2026, at Kay Jewelers, so there is no cheaper store price to compare it with. Compare it against other 1/2 ct black diamond studs before deciding.
- Do these come with backs?
- Stud earrings of this type normally ship with a pair of backs, typically friction or screw backs. Confirm the back style with the store if secure closure matters to you.
- Can I wear them every day?
- Yes. Sterling silver and diamond are durable enough for daily wear, though you should take them off for swimming, showering and heavy exercise to limit tarnish and loss.
