Are these real diamonds?

They are lab-grown diamonds, which have the same carbon structure and hardness as mined diamonds but are made in a lab. They are not cubic zirconia.

How big are the stones?

The pair totals 1/4 ct tw, split across six stones, so each stone is small. Expect a delicate look rather than a visible sparkle from across a room.

Is the rose gold solid or plated?

The setting is 14K rose gold, so the color is the metal itself, not a plating that wears off.

Can I wear them every day?

Yes. 14K gold and diamond both hold up to daily wear. Take them off for swimming, gym sessions and harsh cleaners to protect the setting.

Are lab-grown diamonds worth it for earrings?

For the look, yes: you get diamond sparkle for much less than mined stones. For resale, no: lab-grown stones hold little resale value, so buy them to wear.

What comes in the box?

Expect the earring pair with its backs in KAY packaging. Confirm the backing type and any certificate at checkout.

Our take on the KAY Outlet Lab-Grown Diamonds Princess & Round-Cut Three-Stone Stud Earrings 1/4 ct tw 14K

These are 14K rose gold stud earrings from KAY Outlet set with lab-grown diamonds in a three-stone layout: a princess-cut center flanked by round cuts, 1/4 ct total weight. The three-stone design reads as a small anniversary or everyday pair rather than a statement piece. Lab-grown stones keep the price well below a mined-diamond equivalent of the same size. The 1/4 ct total is modest, so expect sparkle at close range, not across a room.
