Yellow gold diamond inside-out hoop earrings – Picasso Gold & Diamond Chicago

Natural diamond earrings in 14K and 10K gold: hoops, studs, drops and huggies, from a petite first pair to 4-carat diamond hoops.

Natural Diamond Earrings

Earrings sit closest to the face, so the right pair lifts every look. Our 290-plus natural diamond earrings come in 14K and 10K white, yellow and rose gold, plus a few sterling silver accent pairs.

Hoops, studs, drops and huggies

Diamond stud earrings are the everyday essential. Diamond hoops, our largest style here, catch light from every angle, from slim pavé hoops to 3-carat statement pairs.

Drop and dangle earrings add movement for evenings, and huggie hoops hug the lobe for easy stacking. Smaller hoops and huggies work every day, while larger diamond hoops dress up evening looks.

How to choose, and what to spend

Earrings are measured in carat total weight (CT TW) for the pair. Round diamonds give the most sparkle, and prong settings let in more light than closed settings.

Gold diamond earrings start around $165, popular 0.25 to 0.88 CT TW pairs run about $730 to $2,730, and 2 to 4 CT TW diamond hoops range from about $7,870 to $10,500.

Diamond Earrings FAQs

What are the most popular types of diamond earrings?

Diamond studs are the classic everyday choice, and diamond hoops are a close second because they show sparkle from the front and side. Drop and dangle earrings add movement for special occasions, while huggies are small, close-fitting hoops that are ideal for stacking or second piercings.

How many carats should diamond earrings be?

For daily wear, 0.25 to 0.50 ct tw is refined and comfortable. Between 0.75 and 1 ct tw, earrings become a noticeable signature, and 2 ct tw or more is a statement. For hoops, total weight spreads across many small diamonds, so a 2 ct tw hoop reads differently from a 2 ct tw stud.

Should I choose natural or lab-grown diamond earrings?

Both are real diamonds that look identical once set. Natural diamonds are valued for rarity and tradition, while lab-grown diamonds give you more carat weight for the same budget. If size matters most, compare our lab-grown earrings; if origin matters most, natural diamonds are the classic choice.

Can I sleep or shower in diamond earrings?

Diamonds and gold handle daily life well, but it is best to take earrings off for sleep, showers and swimming. Pressure from a pillow can bend posts and hoops, and soaps and chlorine leave film that dulls sparkle. Clean them gently with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush.
