Collection: Diamond Stud Earrings

Choosing diamond studs

Studs are measured by total carat weight across the pair, not per stone. A 2 cttw pair carries two 1 carat stones. Every listing states the total, so a pair described as 1 cttw and one described as 1 carat each are different purchases.

Because the two stones sit either side of the face, matching matters more than grade. A well-matched pair at G colour reads better than a mismatched pair one grade higher. Our lab-grown studs are cut and graded as pairs, and several are IGI certified with the report available on the product page.

Setting affects how much light reaches the stone. A four-prong basket lifts the diamond and exposes more of the pavilion; a bezel wraps the girdle and protects the edge, which suits daily wear and anyone who catches jewelry on clothing.

Most of the range is set in 14K white gold, which keeps the metal visually quiet against the stone. Yellow gold is available where a warmer setting is preferred.
