- Are these real diamonds?
- They are lab grown diamonds, which have the same carbon structure and hardness as mined diamonds. They are not diamond simulants like cubic zirconia.
- How do lab grown diamonds compare with mined ones?
- Visually and chemically they are the same, and they test as diamonds. The main differences are origin and resale value, since lab grown stones trade at a fraction of mined prices secondhand.
- What is the total diamond weight?
- About 0.74 carats across 92 stones. Each stone is small, so the effect is a continuous sparkle rather than a few large flashes.
- Will the diamonds fall out?
- Prong-set pavé can loosen with knocks and snags. Have a jeweler check the settings once a year and avoid wearing them to bed or in the shower.
- Are they comfortable for all-day wear?
- The hoops are wide and carry a lot of metal and stone, so they are heavier than thin gold hoops. Lighter lobes may notice the weight by evening.
- What comes in the box?
- Expect the pair of earrings in a jewelry box. Check the listing for a certificate or grading card for the diamonds before buying.
