Frequently Asked Questions
Studs essentials
Lab Grown Diamond Studs are earrings set with real, laboratory-created diamonds that match natural diamonds in chemistry, hardness, and optics, delivering the same sparkle in a minimalist, everyday design.
Yes—lab grown diamonds are genuine and can be graded by leading labs such as GIA (LGDR) and IGI with documented 4C specs and laser inscriptions noting laboratory-grown origin.
Yes, lab grown diamonds share the same crystal lattice and physical properties as mined diamonds, so standard diamond testers identify them as diamond.
Hoops vs studs
Hoop earrings frame the lobe and can use inside‑out settings for 360° sparkle, while studs sit on the ear and emphasize a single focal diamond for a clean, classic look.
Choose hoops to add visible presence and movement (especially inside‑out styles), and choose studs for a low‑profile, versatile silhouette that pairs with any outfit or secondary piercings.
Larger CTW studs or halo studs amplify on-ear presence, offering a bolder look that nods to hoop-like sparkle without the diameter or movement of true hoops.
Sizing and CTW
CTW (or CTTW) is the total carat weight of all diamonds in the pair, so 1.00 CTW studs are typically 0.50 ct per ear unless otherwise specified in the product details.
CTW is expressed within accepted tolerance ranges, so confirm per‑ear weights and stone counts in the listing to set accurate size expectations.
Use CTW per pair to estimate per‑ear size, then balance daily comfort with desired presence; many shoppers start around 0.50–1.00 CTW per pair for everyday wear.
Settings and backs
Martini settings sit closer to the lobe and minimize metal for extra light return, while basket settings add support and spread, which can help reduce forward tilt on larger stones.
Friction (push) backs are quick and comfortable, while screw backs offer greater security for higher‑value studs at the trade‑off of slower on/off handling.
Flatbacks can improve comfort by sitting flush against the ear for all‑day wear, though they trade some ease of on/off versus friction backs and require proper fit.
Quality and Certification
Cut drives face‑up brilliance and should be prioritized, followed by color and clarity choices that complement your metal and size for a bright, balanced look.
Yes, each Michael Gabriels Lab Grown Diamond Studs includes independent appraisal for diamonds 1 carat or larger, detailing the diamond’s cut, color, clarity, and carat weight, ensuring you know exactly what you’re getting.
Care and durability
High‑quality lab grown diamonds do not inherently cloud; perceived haze is typically due to residue build‑up, cut decisions, fluorescence effects, or post‑growth treatments rather than diamond origin.
Soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap, gently brush under the setting with a soft toothbrush, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a soft cloth to restore sparkle safely.
Hoop-specific
Inside‑out hoops set forward‑facing diamonds on both the outer front and inner back of the hoop, creating a continuous, high‑visibility line of sparkle from every angle.
Yes—CTW for earrings generally refers to the combined weight for both earrings, so always confirm per‑ear breakdown and stone counts before purchase.
Quick purchase checklist
Confirm per‑ear CTW, desired setting (martini or basket), preferred backs (friction, screw, or flatback), any grading details (GIA/IGI), and whether you want studs or Lab Grown Diamond Hoop Earrings for your intended look and use case.
