Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?

Yes. They have the same carbon structure and hardness as mined diamonds, and a jeweler's tester will read them as diamonds. They simply form in a lab instead of the ground.

How big do 2.0-carat studs look?

That is 2.0 carats total, about 1.0 carat per ear, which reads as roughly 6.5 mm across per stone. They look substantial without being oversized for daily wear.

Is 10K white gold a good choice?

It is durable and costs less than 14K, but it has less gold and can look slightly warmer. White gold is rhodium plated, so expect replating every year or two with heavy wear.

What is included with the earrings?
