Put one in and the diamond sits right against the lobe, with four small prongs at its edge and nothing hanging below. These Round Cut Lab Diamond Basket Style Stud Earrings stay close to the ear, so they suit a workday and an evening out about equally. In this style, round cut diamond stud earrings start at 0.50 ct total weight for the pair, which is 0.25 ct per earring, and go up to 5.00 ct total. The two diamonds are round cut lab grown diamonds, and each looks clean and bright with the faceting easy to see from the front. The certifying body is IGI.

The diamond sits in a four prong basket, and from the side you can see the open sides of it, with a straight post running back from the base. Both earrings are single diamond stud earrings with no halo and no side diamonds. The metal is 925 silver or 10K, 14K or 18K solid gold, with 950 platinum available on request, and the pieces are hallmark stamped. Because they’re grown in a lab, the diamonds are the same material as mined ones but cost a good deal less (see lab grown vs mined diamonds).
