Lab Grown Diamond Earrings
Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds, identical in hardness and brilliance to mined stones, so you can choose a bigger or bolder pair for the same spend. Our 320-plus designs come in 14K and 10K white, yellow and two-tone gold.
Find your style
Lab-grown diamond studs are the classic starting point. Hoops are the deepest category here, from 1 carat round and emerald-cut hoops to dramatic in-and-out designs that sparkle front and back.
Huggies stack beautifully, drops and dangles add movement, and pink and yellow lab diamonds offer something unexpected. Because lab-grown diamonds cost less per carat, a 2 CT TW pair can cost about the same as a much smaller natural pair.
Price guidance
Petite studs start around $260. Our best-selling 2.25 CT TW studs are about $1,500, 1 CT TW hoops about $1,780, and emerald-cut in-and-out hoops of 8 to 11 CT TW reach about $8,400 to $10,100.
Everyday wear and care
Studs and huggies sit close to the ear for all-day comfort. Remove earrings before swimming or the gym, and clean them with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush to keep the sparkle bright.
Shop studs only in diamond stud earrings, compare with natural diamond earrings, or build a set with lab grown diamond necklaces and lab diamond bracelets.
We are family jewelers with 23 years in fine jewelry. Orders over $200 ship free and insured in the US, ready-to-ship pieces have 30-day returns, and we offer a lifetime manufacturing warranty on all fine jewelry.
Lab Grown Diamond Earrings FAQs
Are lab-grown diamond earrings real diamonds?
Yes. Lab-grown diamonds have the same chemical composition, crystal structure and hardness as natural diamonds. They are created under controlled conditions rather than mined, but they test as diamond and sparkle the same way. The main practical difference is price: lab-grown diamonds cost less per carat.
Can people tell lab-grown diamond earrings from natural ones?
Not by looking. Lab-grown and natural diamonds are optically identical, and even jewelers need specialized lab equipment to tell them apart. Once set in earrings, the difference comes down to origin and price, not appearance. Choose the size and style you love, then decide on origin.
How much do lab-grown diamond earrings cost?
In our collection, lab-grown diamond studs start around $260. Best-selling 2.25 ct tw studs are about $1,500, 1 ct tw hoops about $1,780, and 1.90 ct tw three-stone huggies about $2,000. Statement in-and-out hoops of 8 to 11 ct tw run about $8,400 to $10,100.
Which lab-grown diamond earrings are best for everyday wear?
Studs and huggies are the easiest to wear every day, since they sit close to the ear and pair with everything. For daily studs, 1 to 2 ct tw in lab-grown diamonds offers noticeable sparkle at a sensible price. Save larger hoops and drops for evenings and events.
