Unlike a clear diamond that reflects light, a natural black diamond absorbs it. This gives the stone a deep, opaque blackness that creates a sharp, graphic contrast with the six polished white gold prongs holding it in place.
You're looking at a pair of stud earrings. Each one holds a round, 4mm black diamond securely in a six-prong basket setting. The metal is solid 18k white gold, polished to a bright shine. One earring is shown face-on, and the other from the side, revealing its 6mm post. The facets are visible, but they catch light as flat, geometric planes rather than sparkling.
We set these natural black diamonds in solid 18k white gold. That’s 75% pure gold alloyed with white metals for strength and its silvery-white colour, which means it’s highly resistant to tarnish and a good choice for sensitive skin. The stones themselves are genuine diamonds, which means they're incredibly hard and you don't have to worry about scratching them during normal wear.

People choose these when they want a classic diamond stud but find clear diamonds a little too bright. The 4mm size is substantial enough to be seen clearly on the lobe, and the deep black colour offers a more subdued, graphic look that works with just about anything.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the colour on these Natural Black Diamond Studs fade or scratch off over time?
No, the colour will not fade or scratch off. These are natural black diamonds, so their deep colour is part of the stone's internal structure, not a coating. Because diamond is the hardest natural material, the surface is also exceptionally resistant to scratches from everyday wear.
Can I shower or sleep while wearing my 18k gold Black Diamond Studs?
Yes, you can shower in them, as solid 18k gold holds up well to water. We do, however, recommend taking them out before sleeping. The post can press into your skin, and there's a small risk of the earring catching on bedding, which could loosen the prongs over time.
How will a 4mm stud with a 6mm post fit on a thicker earlobe?
A 4mm stud sits nicely on most lobes, and the 6mm post is a standard length that fits the majority of piercings comfortably. If you have particularly thick earlobes or a piercing that's set high, you might find it a bit snug. We suggest measuring a current comfortable earring post for comparison.
