Diamonds are beloved for the sparkle and reflection they bring to your complexion. Worn near the face, they catch the light and brighten your whole look. Earrings come in pairs, so you pay for two diamonds every time, and lab-grown stones pay off most. They share the same chemical composition, optical properties, and hardness as mined diamonds, and are simply grown in a controlled environment instead of deep in the earth. With Diamond Stud Earrings, 1tcw means a half-carat per earring, 1 carat total.
Our customers have caught on to the more affordable price tag, and lab-grown has quickly become a favorite choice at Aurate. When two stones look identical and one costs noticeably less, the savings on a pair can cover a second piercing’s worth of diamonds. See every style in our curated edit of lab-grown diamonds to find the perfect match for you.
Lab Grown Diamond Stud Earrings
Studs are the signature earrings you put in once and forget about, in the best way. For the ultimate quiet luxury accessory, our Lab Grown Diamond Stud Earrings in 14k solid gold start at under $1,000 per pair and go with every single article of clothing you own. Each GH/SI-quality round diamond comes in solid gold, set in the Classic basket or the Three-Prong Martini, which sits close to the ear.
You can choose from five sizes, ranging from a delicate 0.06-carat pair to a refined 1.00-carat set. The smaller sizes are dainty enough for boardrooms and brunch, giving you everyday sparkle with minimal upkeep. If you prefer more presence, our Luxury Round Lab Grown Diamond Studs in 14k solid gold bring the classic silhouette up a few notches with a 4ct total carat weight.
Lab Grown Diamond Hoop Earrings
Our 2ct Luxury Lab Grown Diamond Hoops are crafted in 14k solid gold with top-quality 36 FG-SI round diamonds, prong-set and continuing along the inside of the back so every diamond faces forward, with a hinging clasp. You can choose between white and yellow gold, depending on whether you want a soft glint or a contemporary glow.
If you’re looking to build a stack, huggies are the hoop’s smaller sibling. They hug the lobe with little to no gap, which makes them a favorite for second and third piercings.
The Best Lab-Grown Diamond Earrings For Big Moments
Some occasions call for more than a stud. Weddings, black-tie invites, and “I just got promoted” dinners all count.
Lab-Grown Diamond Pear Drop Earrings
A luminous round diamond sits above a radiant pear-shaped stone, prong-set in 14k solid gold with a hidden hinge so the drop moves fluidly. These use our top-tier stones, E-F color, and VVS1-VVS2 clarity, which is a step above our standard grade. Choose a 2ct or 5ct total weight, depending on how much attention (and how many compliments) you want to attract.
Lab Grown Diamond Pearl Drop Earrings
This pair gives the classic pearl earring a serious upgrade. A freshwater pearl hangs below an E-color, VVS2-clarity lab-grown diamond, with a total of 1 carat across the pair, set in 14k solid gold. It’s soft, luminous, and shimmering, made for walking down the aisle and for every anniversary dinner afterward.
Make Room For Tennis Earrings
Tennis jewelry is one of our signatures, and it isn’t just for wrists. The Petite Lab Grown Diamond Tennis Earrings in 14k solid gold line up GH/SI lab-grown diamonds in a slim vertical drop. Choose 3, 5, 8, or 12 stones per earring for a quiet second-hole accent or a dramatic cascade. Pair them with a matching tennis bracelet, and you’ve got a standout set that looks custom-made.
Choose The Metal That Matches How You Live
Most of our lab-grown diamond earrings are part of our 14k gold jewelry collection, and for good reason. It’s durable, it stands up to everyday wear, and it keeps prices approachable. If you love a deeper yellow tone, 18k gold jewelry has a higher gold content and retains that classic look. No matter which one you prefer, our solid gold is made with recycled gold: existing gold refined to remove impurities instead of freshly mined. It keeps its quality no matter how many times it’s reused. Your earrings look good and do a little good, too.
Gold vermeil, 2.5 microns of gold over sterling silver (not gold-plated), is a fun way to add more shine for less. One example is our Lab Grown White Sapphire Pear Drop Earrings in vermeil. Just know they feature white sapphires, not diamonds, and vermeil does best when you take it off before showers and workouts. For no-fuss pieces you can leave on, our stainless steel jewelry rounds out the lineup.
Build Your Ear Stack With Intention
A good stack looks effortless, but it follows a simple formula.
- Anchor With Studs Or Hoops: Put studs or hoops in your first piercing hole, since that’s the spot people see most.
- Add Movement Second: Use huggies or petite tennis earrings in your second hole for vertical drama that doesn’t fight your anchor for attention.
- Save The Statement-Makers For Special Occasions: Swap in pear or pearl drops when the night calls for it, and keep the rest of your stack simple.
- Stick To One Gold Color: Mixing yellow, white, and rose gold works, but a single tone reads more polished.
Keep Them Sparkling
Diamonds are tough, but lotion, perfume, and hairspray build up and dull the sparkle. Put your earrings in after your beauty routine, then let them be. To clean solid 14k and 18k gold pieces, soak them in warm water with a few drops of detergent-free soap, brush gently with a very soft brush, and pat dry with a lint-free cloth. Our lifetime guarantee covers repairs like stone tightening and earring post soldering on vermeil, 14k, and 18k gold pieces for US orders.
