For too long, a real diamond stud was treated as something you waited for someone else to give you. Not at Aurate. You closed the round, ran the marathon, or finished the book, and you decide when that deserves a diamond.
Lab grown diamonds are physically, chemically, and optically the same as mined diamonds. The only difference is their origin. Because they cost less to produce, the savings go toward what you actually want: a larger stone, a second pair, or a tennis bracelet to match. Browse our full range of lab-grown diamonds to see what that budget unlocks.
Studs are where those savings work hardest. You wear them every day, they sit at eye level, and they go with everything from a board presentation to a Saturday flight.
Lab Grown Diamond Stud Earrings: What You’re Getting
Our Lab Grown Diamond Stud Earrings are crafted in 14k solid gold, available in yellow, white, or rose gold. Each round lab-grown diamond is GH color and SI clarity, meaning it’s near-colorless with no inclusions visible to the naked eye. The stone is set in a classic four-prong style in shiny, solid gold. For added versatility, you can buy a matched pair or order a single stud for a second or third piercing to create an asymmetric ear. All our solid gold is made with recycled gold, refined from existing gold rather than newly mined.
Lab Grown Diamond Round Studs In Every Size
Total carat weight (TCW) for earrings is quoted per pair, so a 1.00tcw pair holds two half-carat stones. Here’s how each option measures on the ear for our Lab Grown Diamond Stud Earrings in 14k solid gold:
- 0.06tcw (2mm stones): A subtle point of light that works best in second and third piercings.
- 0.12tcw (2.5mm stones): Visible but understated, made to be a daily staple.
- 0.22tcw (3mm stones): The everyday sweet spot, noticeable across a table without reading as formal.
- 0.46tcw (4mm stones): A clear step up in presence for the first piercing.
- 1.00tcw (5mm stones): A full carat across the pair, giving you a classic look.
Circular diamonds are the most popular stud shape for a reason. The round brilliant cut is engineered to return the most light, so it looks bright from every angle as you move.
The Best Lab Grown Diamond Studs For A Bigger Statement
When you know you want more, our 14k solid gold Luxury Round Lab Grown Diamond Studs are available in yellow, white, or rose gold. They come in 2, 3, or 4 total carats, with round lab grown diamonds graded F/G color and SI2 clarity. At 4 total carats, each stone measures 8mm across.
The light basket setting keeps the profile sleek, and a screw back post adds security for stones this size. They’re designed for everyday wear, not just black-tie, because a diamond you invested in should leave the jewelry box. This is where lab grown pricing changes the conversation. Carat sizes that once meant a once-in-a-lifetime purchase now sit within reach of a well-earned milestone.
Choosing Your Gold
Our 14k gold jewelry is the standard for diamond studs, and both styles above are made in it. The 14k alloy is harder than higher-karat gold, which helps the setting hold the stone through years of nonstop wear. It also comes in three colors: yellow for warmth, white for an icy, cool look, and rose for a softer contrast.
If you’re building out the rest of your collection, 18k gold jewelry contains more pure gold and has a deeper yellow hue. Gold vermeil, a layer of gold over sterling silver, sits a step below solid gold and is distinct from gold-plated pieces made over base metals. Vermeil comes off before showers and workouts. Our stainless steel jewelry rounds out the range with durable pieces suitable for constant wear.
Build Around Your Studs
Studs are the anchor of a stack, and the rest of your jewelry can take its cue from them. Add the Petite Lab Grown Diamond Tennis Earrings in 14k solid gold in a second piercing for a slim vertical line of GH/SI diamonds. Then echo it on your wrist with the Classic Lab Grown Diamond Tennis Bracelet in 14k or 18k solid gold. Matching your gold color across pieces keeps the look polished.
Wearing And Caring For Your Studs
Solid gold and diamonds are made for everyday wear, so your studs can stay in from morning meetings to evening plans. Put them in after lotion, perfume, and hairspray, since product buildup dulls a diamond’s brilliance. To clean 14k and 18k gold pieces, soak in warm water with a few drops of detergent-free soap, brush gently with a very soft brush, and dry with a lint-free cloth. Our lifetime guarantee on repairs covers 14k and 18k solid gold pieces as well as vermeil jewelry for US orders, including earring post soldering.
