- Are these real diamonds?
- They are lab-grown diamonds, which have the same physical and chemical properties as mined diamonds but are made in a lab. They are graded F color and VS2 clarity.
- Is $149 a good price for half-carat diamond studs?
- Yes. Certified half-carat lab-grown studs in silver commonly sell for $150 to $300, so $149 at Zales Outlet as of November 4, 2026 is at the low end.
- Will the sterling silver tarnish?
- Yes, sterling silver darkens over time, especially when exposed to air, perfume or humidity. Store them in a sealed bag and polish with a silver cloth.
- How big do these look on the ear?
- Each stone is about a quarter carat, roughly 3.5 to 4 mm across. The miracle setting surrounds each stone with a metal rim that makes it appear closer to a third of a carat.
- What is in the box?
- The earrings come as a pair with friction backs. Lab-grown diamond certification paperwork is typically included with the purchase.
- Are friction backs secure enough for everyday wear?
- They hold well for normal use but can loosen with repeated on and off. Check the backs are snug before wearing and consider silicone replacements if you wear them daily.
- Where is the Zales Outlet 1/2 CT. T.W. Princess-Cut Certified Lab-Grown Diamond Solitaire Earrings in Sterling Silver (F/VS2) cheapest?
- At Zales Outlet, for $149.00, as of our latest check.
