How do you choose lab grown diamond stud earrings?
Carat total weight versus carat per stone
Earrings are quoted in carat total weight, the combined weight of the pair. A 1ctw pair is two half carat stones. A 4ctw pair is two 2ct stones. Face up size follows the per stone weight, never the total, so halve the number before comparing listings. This is the most common error buyers make on earrings.
Setting security
Screw back posts thread on and hold through a full day. Friction backs push on and work loose over time. Past 2ctw the added weight makes the back a real decision. Hoops and drops use hinged or latch closures, so the frame carries the weight instead of a single post.
What reads well at each size
1ctw and 2ctw studs sit flat under a phone or a collar and read as everyday jewellery. 3ctw and 4ctw are visible across a room and are the most requested gift weights here. Above 6ctw the collection moves to occasion pieces: 6ctw baguette hoops, 8ctw zig zag drops, 11ctw oval inside out hoops.

Frequently Asked
Lab grown diamond earring questions
Is 1ctw or 2ctw the better first pair of diamond studs?
2ctw is the more common first pair. At $999 CAD it sits $288 above the 1ctw pair for double the weight. Choose 1ctw at $711 when the pair should disappear into daily wear.
Do lab grown diamond earrings test as real diamonds?
Yes. Testers measure thermal conductivity, and a lab grown diamond is the same carbon crystal as a mined one, so it reads as diamond every time. Moissanite reads differently on the same tester.
What is the difference between a screw back and a friction back?
A screw back threads onto the post and cannot slide off. A friction back grips by tension alone. Friction is faster to fasten and looser over time. For heavier studs, choose the screw back.
Can lab grown diamond studs be worn every day?
Yes. Lab grown diamonds are Mohs 10 with no aging mechanism, so they do not cloud, fade or change colour. Professional inspection twice a year keeps settings tight.
Which metals are available?
Every style is offered in silver, 10K to 18K gold and platinum. Metal choice changes the price and the weight, not the diamond specification.
