Lab Grown Diamond Stud

The round brilliant cut is made of 58 facets, each acting as a tiny mirror. As you turn your head, they don't just sparkle—they throw off a sharp, distinct flicker of light. It's a classic cut for a reason.

This is a pair of classic diamond stud earrings. One is shown face-up, letting you see the round diamond held securely by four small prongs. The other is angled, revealing the basket that holds the stone and the standard 9mm post. The metal is a bright, neutral white that doesn't compete with the diamond's fire.

The settings are solid 14K gold, which is 58.3% pure gold blended with alloys to make it strong enough for daily wear. We then plate the gold with rhodium—a hard, silvery-white metal from the platinum family. This gives it a brighter, whiter colour than natural white gold and adds a layer of scratch resistance. The diamonds are lab-grown, which means they are chemically and optically identical to mined diamonds. We use E/F colour and VVS clarity stones, meaning they're completely colourless with virtually zero visible inclusions.

This is the benchmark for diamond studs. The 1 carat total weight is substantial enough to be noticed but sits neatly on the lobe without drooping. The four-prong setting is a time-tested design that's secure and lets the maximum amount of light enter the diamond. It's the pair you can put on and not think about again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do my Lab Grown Diamond Studs look so clear and white?

Your studs look so clear because we use very high-quality lab-grown diamonds with an average colour of E/F and VVS clarity. This means they are in the colourless range and have inclusions so minor they're extremely difficult to see, even under 10x magnification.

Can I wear my 14K gold diamond studs in the shower or while I sleep?

Yes, you can wear them while showering and sleeping. Solid 14K gold won't tarnish from water, and the prong settings are secure for everyday activities. Just be aware that soap and shampoo can leave a film over time, which will dull the sparkle until they are cleaned.

Will the 9mm post on these diamond stud earrings fit my thicker earlobes?

A 9mm post is a standard length that fits most earlobes comfortably. If your lobes are thicker than average or you plan to wear them in a cartilage piercing, you might find the fit snug. The best way to be sure is to measure a post from an earring you already own and find comfortable.

What happens if I receive my diamond stud earrings and I don't like them?

If you're not happy with your earrings, you can return them within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. Please email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll provide a prepaid shipping label. The jewellery must be returned in its original, unworn condition to be eligible.

How long does free shipping to the US take for an order like these diamond earrings?

Free shipping on qualifying orders to the US and Canada typically takes 5 to 15 business days. We offer it on orders over $60 CAD to CA/US and over $110 CAD to the UK/EU. Once your order is dispatched, you'll receive an email with a tracking number.
