Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?

Yes. They are chemically and optically identical to mined diamonds, just grown in a lab. They are graded on the same color, clarity and cut scales.

Is 1 carat total weight the same as 1 carat per earring?

No. The 1 ct figure is the combined weight of both stones, so each diamond is roughly 0.5 ct. Each earring looks like a half-carat solitaire.

Will the screwbacks fit comfortably?

Screwbacks are secure but take a few extra seconds to put on. The 8 mm stud is a moderate size that sits flat against the lobe.

How do these compare to mined diamond studs?

You get similar looks and grading for much less money, but resale and trade-in value are far lower. Buy them to wear, not to invest.

What comes in the box?

Expect the earrings plus certification paperwork for the diamonds. Confirm the certificate and any warranty terms with the store at purchase.

When is the best time to buy?

Jewelry promotions cluster around Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Black Friday and the winter holidays. Compare the current price against its recent range before buying.

Our take on the KAY Lab-Grown Diamonds Round-Cut Solitaire Stud Earrings tw 14K

These are 14K white gold solitaire studs from KAY, each set with a round lab-grown diamond in a four-prong setting. The pair totals 1 carat, with F color and SI2 clarity, and the diamonds are independently certified. Screwbacks keep them secure, and the rhodium finish gives the white gold a bright, even tone. The 8 mm width makes them a visible but not oversized everyday stud.
