Beaded Round Lab Grown Diamond Studs In 14K Gold

A bright round lab grown diamond sits inside a ring of tiny polished gold beads on each of these studs, a soft, vintage-inspired frame that makes every diamond look even larger and brighter.

Each earring holds a 1 carat round brilliant diamond, for 2 carats total weight in the pair. The diamond is held securely in prongs, and around it runs a circle of small, rounded gold beads. That beaded frame does three things: it catches light right at the edge of the diamond, it adds a little extra presence to the face of the stud, and it gives the earring a finished, heirloom-style border that looks just as good up close as it does from across the room. Each stud measures about 9.5 mm across and sits about 4.6 mm off the ear.

Both diamonds are lab grown, F color or better with VS clarity or better, and the pair comes IGI certified. At F color the diamonds face up bright white with no visible warmth, and at VS clarity any tiny inclusions are not visible to the eye. Lab grown diamonds are real diamonds, with the same crystal structure, hardness and sparkle as mined diamonds; the difference is that they are grown in a controlled environment rather than mined from the ground.

Choose 14K white, yellow or rose gold. White gold gives the cleanest, iciest look around the diamond, yellow gold makes the beaded frame stand out as a warm detail, and rose gold softens the whole piece with a blush tone. Each earring is finished with a heavyweight double notch post and a butterfly back. The notches on the post give the back two secure resting points, so the stud stays close to the ear and in place through the day.

At a full carat per ear, these studs are noticeable without being heavy, and the round shape and beaded frame work with everything from everyday outfits to formal evenings. They are a natural gift for an anniversary, birthday or milestone, and an easy first pair of serious diamond studs.
