Frequently Asked Questions About Lab Grown Diamond Studs
Are lab grown diamond studs real diamonds?
Yes, lab grown diamond studs feature 100% real diamonds with identical physical, chemical, and optical properties to mined diamonds. They're certified by the same institutes (IGI, GIA) and offer the same brilliance and durability.
What size diamond studs should I buy?
For everyday wear, 0.75-1.00 total carat weight (TCW) is most popular and versatile. Smaller sizes (0.25-0.50 TCW) work well for work environments, while larger sizes (1.50-2.00+ TCW) make statement pieces for special occasions.
How much do lab grown diamond studs cost?
Lab grown diamond studs cost 40-70% less than mined diamond studs. Prices range from $300 for 0.25 TCW to $3,000+ for 2.00 TCW, depending on quality and metal choice. This exceptional value lets you buy larger, higher quality diamonds.
What's the difference between four-prong and six-prong settings?
Four-prong settings allow maximum light into the diamond for more sparkle and appear more modern. Six-prong settings offer extra security and create a rounder appearance, ideal for valuable diamonds. Both are excellent choices.
Can I sleep in diamond studs?
While possible with certain settings like martini or low-profile designs, it's generally recommended to remove diamond studs before sleeping to prevent damage to the earring or injury. Screw backs should always be removed before sleep.
How do I clean my diamond studs?
Clean weekly with warm water and mild soap using a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners unless you're certain your setting is secure. Professional cleaning annually recommended.
Are lab grown diamond studs a good investment?
While jewelry shouldn't be viewed primarily as financial investment, lab grown diamond studs hold sentimental value and offer excellent cost-per-wear value. Their timeless style ensures you'll wear them for decades, making them a smart purchase for your collection.
