Lab-Grown Diamond Martini Stud Earring in 14K Yellow Gold, 0.50 ct (Single)

A half-carat round brilliant measures roughly 5 millimeters across. It is the classic first-diamond size: visible and bright, without feeling formal.

Yes. The low martini profile is designed for daily wear, and they are fine to keep on for sport. Eimear recommends taking them off at night, as prongs can catch on bedding and be damaged, and before showering, as soap leaves a film that dulls the diamonds. Have the prongs checked by a jeweler once a year.

Yes. Every pair of studs in The Lab-Grown Diamond Edit is also sold as a single earring, so you can wear one alone, fill a second piercing, or build a pair one stone at a time.

Use the Single / Pair switch on any stud page to move between the two. The single is the same stone, setting and metal as the pair it comes from, and buying the pair costs less than two singles.

Yes. A lab-grown diamond has the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness and optical properties as a mined diamond, and is graded on the same scales for color, clarity and cut. The difference is origin: it is grown in a laboratory over weeks rather than formed in the earth over millions of years.

Yes. It can be made to order in 14K white gold, in 2 to 4 weeks depending on availability.

A martini setting holds the diamond in three prongs that form a tapered, V-shaped cup beneath it, named for its resemblance to a martini glass. A classic stud uses four prongs in a basket. The three-prong martini sits the stone lower and closer to the ear, so the earring is more comfortable and less likely to catch on hair or clothing, and it shows slightly more of the diamond.

The Lab-Grown Diamond Edit includes martini studs from 0.56 to 5.13 carats total weight, in white and yellow gold. For a size outside the collection, Eimear can source a matched pair to your brief.
