The stone

A lab-grown diamond is diamond: pure carbon in the same crystal structure, with the same hardness of 10 and the same fire as a mined stone. The difference is origin; it is grown in weeks in a controlled environment rather than over billions of years underground. More in our guide to buying jewelry that lasts.

A gemologist’s note

Half a carat per ear is the size most people picture when they think of diamond studs. Lab-grown makes that size, at VS clarity and F or better color, possible at a gift price.

Care

Skin oils cling to diamond and dull its brightness. Soak in warm water with mild soap and brush gently behind the stone. Check the prongs once a year.
