Our take on the KAY Lab-Grown Diamonds Certified Round-Cut Solitaire Stud Earrings 2-1/2 ct tw 14K Yellow Gold (F/VS2)

These are a pair of 14K yellow gold solitaire studs, each set with a 1 1/4-carat round lab-grown diamond graded F color and VS2 clarity, for 2 1/2 carats total. The stones are independently certified and held in four-prong settings with friction backs. At this size, a matched pair of certified F/VS2 stones is the main draw. No current price was available to compare against its recent range.

Questions and answers

Are these earrings worth it?
If you want a big, certified diamond look at lab-grown prices, yes. The F/VS2 grades and independent certification are the main reasons to pay more than for uncertified studs.
How do these compare with mined-diamond studs?
They look the same to the eye and carry the same grades, but cost much less and have little resale value. Mined stones hold value better; lab-grown wins on upfront price and size per dollar.
Will the friction backs stay on?
Friction backs hold well for most wearers but loosen over time with daily on-and-off. If you sleep or exercise in them, consider replacing the backs with screw-backs.
How big are the stones?
Each earring holds a 1 1/4-carat round stone, roughly 7 mm across, which reads as a large stud. The pair totals 2 1/2 carats.
What comes in the box?
You get the pair of earrings and the independent certification for the stones. Ask the seller whether a grading report card or gift box is included.
When is the best time to buy?
Watch for holiday and outlet sales, when KAY discounts lab-grown diamond jewelry most. No current price was available to compare against its recent range.
