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 and clarity scales.

Is F color good for diamond studs?

F is in the colorless range, so the stones should look white with no visible warmth. That is better than the G–H color common at this price.

Each stone is about 0.5 ct., roughly 4.5 mm across in a princess cut. That is a clear, noticeable size for everyday studs without being heavy.

They stay put and suit sleeping or active wear, but they take longer to fasten. The posts also need enough room behind the lobe.

No. Resale is much lower than for mined diamonds, and prices for lab-grown stones keep falling. Buy them for wearing, not as an investment.

Expect the pair in a Zales box plus the GIA certification for the stones. Confirm the certificate is included at purchase.
