Questions, answered

Are the diamonds natural? Yes. Both diamonds are natural, never lab grown, and independently graded by the Gemological Institute of America. Both original GIA reports ship with the earrings.

How are the two diamonds matched? Our gemologist pairs them for color, clarity, cut, and millimeter size so they read as one pair on the ear.

Which tier should I choose? D-E · VVS for colorless with the highest clarity. E-F · VS1 for colorless with VS1 clarity. F-G · VS for white, eye-clean diamonds, the tier most clients choose. G-H · VS for near colorless and eye-clean, especially in yellow gold.

What will the exact carat weight be? At least 1.00 ct total, about 0.50 ct per ear. The precise weight, grades, and measurements are on each GIA report.

What about cut? Both round brilliants carry a GIA cut grade of Excellent or Very Good.

Push back or screw back? Push backs are the classic friction back and the easiest to wear daily. Screw backs thread onto the post for extra security with larger diamonds.

How long until they arrive? 8 to 12 business days to make them in Los Angeles, then complimentary insured overnight delivery in the United States. International delivery is available.

Can I speak with a gemologist? Yes. John Anderson, Lead Gemologist, 1-800-779-1726, john@rockher.com. We review both diamonds and their GIA reports with you before they are set.

Returns and insurance? 40-day returns. For loss, theft, or accidental damage we recommend Jewelers Mutual or BriteCo.

The 4 Cs, Read the Way a Gemologist Reads Them

Cut

How well the diamond returns light. The most important C: a poorly cut diamond looks dull no matter how large or clear it is. We only set Excellent and Very Good cut grades.

Color

How colorless the diamond is, graded D through Z. For studs, H to I is the sweet spot: the stones read white in the ear at a fraction of the cost of D to F grades.

Clarity

Internal characteristics, graded from Flawless to Included. Earrings are viewed at arm's length, never under a loupe, so eye-clean stones read flawless in the ear. Our gemologists verify every stone we set is eye-clean.

Carat

The weight and visual size of the stone. Studs are listed by total carat weight across the pair, so 1/2 ct. t.w. means each ear carries a quarter carat.

Questions, Answered

Before You Decide

What does ct. t.w. mean?

Total carat weight. The listed weight is split across the pair, so a 1/2 ct. t.w. pair carries a quarter carat in each ear. Jewelers list studs by the pair total because that is how the pair reads when worn.

Are these natural or lab grown diamonds?

These studs are set with natural diamonds, selected for their light performance. We also offer lab grown diamond studs as a separate line if you prefer that route.

What if I want different specifications?

Speak with a gemologist. Our gemologists can source the same setting with different carat weights, clarity grades, or metals, and will walk you through the trade-offs before you decide. Guidance is always complimentary.
