Are these real diamonds?

They are lab-grown diamonds, chemically identical to mined diamonds, and independently certified. They are not diamond simulants like cubic zirconia.

Will the white gold tarnish?

The 14K gold is rhodium plated with an e-coating, which slows tarnish and keeps the color bright. Replating may be needed after years of wear.

Yes. Screwbacks are among the most secure closures and suit sleeping and active wear, though they take longer to fasten than push backs.

Each stud is about 8 mm across, roughly the width of a pencil eraser, with 0.5 ct per ear. That reads as a noticeable but classic everyday size.

The 14K gold and screwback design are generally suitable, but check with a piercer if your ears are still healing.
