Jewelry details
A pair of 14K white gold earrings, each with a large round lab-grown diamond in the center surrounded by two halos set close together. From a distance each earring looks like a full round point of light on the earlobe, the center stone brightest at its heart, the two rings of stones radiating around it like a glow.
The pair has ninety-two small round lab-grown diamonds, forty-six per side, plus two center stones. These are earrings for anyone who wants to wear a standout piece that's noticed at a glance.
The center stone within two halos
Each earring's center stone is held by four round prongs with neatly rounded tips. Four prongs are secure enough for a large stone while leaving almost its entire face exposed, so looking straight on, the diamond appears full and bright, with no gold covering it.
Around the center stone is the first halo of tightly set small stones, then a second, outer halo with stones slightly larger than the inner ring. The outer ring is larger so the edge of the earring doesn't fade away, and the two rings join seamlessly, blending their bright outline into the edge of the center stone so the whole earring looks larger from a distance.
The small stones are set flush with the gold surface, each held by tiny gold beads around its edge. This keeps the face of the earring flat, with few raised spots to catch hair or scarves, and the face looks almost completely covered in stones.
Three things to check in your hand
Look at the face of the earring: both halos should be evenly round around the center stone, with no wide gaps or stones out of line.
Look from the side: the center stone should sit straight, higher than the two rings of stones, with all four prongs snug against its edge.
Put the two earrings side by side: the center stones and halos should match, looking like a true pair, not one bigger than the other.
The frame at the back of the earring
Turn the earring over and you'll see the supporting frame at the back is pierced open in a circular pattern rather than cast as a solid sheet of gold. Light entering from behind makes the center stone and small stones brighter, and the open frame also makes cleaning easier, so less dust builds up under the stones.
In the workshop, each earring has nearly fifty stones, so setting and inspecting the stones is the most labour-intensive step. After plating, the setter checks every stone for looseness before moving on to the post and thread. The two earrings are also compared as a pair before delivery, so both ears look identical.
Screw backs to hold heavier earrings securely
These earrings use screw backs: a threaded post onto which the back screws tight behind the earlobe. For an earring with this many stones and a large center stone, screw backs are more secure than ordinary push backs and rarely slip off when you brush your hair, change clothes or hug someone.
The posts are made thicker and stronger than on small studs to carry the weight of the face. The thread on each post is carefully checked so the back screws on smoothly, without sticking or stripping.
Honest points to consider first
With a large face and many stones, they feel fairly heavy in the hand compared with studs. Thin earlobes or stretched piercings may find the earrings droop slightly; try them on before choosing.
Screw backs are secure but slower to put on and take off than push backs, taking a few seconds to screw on and off. You may fumble at first, but you'll get used to it after a few wears.
The two rings of small stones have many gaps that collect dust, lotion and shampoo, so they need cleaning more often than plain earrings.
Large round earrings are a statement style, better suited to parties than to everyday work in settings that call for a subtle, understated look.
14K white gold and lab-grown diamonds
The earrings are made in 14K white gold, which is harder than 18K, so it holds the hundreds of tiny gold beads around the stones securely and withstands daily screwing. The outside is rhodium-plated for a bright white finish. The plating thins over time, especially on the post and back; when you notice a faint yellow tint, bring them in for re-plating.
Both center stones and all ninety-two side stones are lab-grown diamonds, with the same structure, hardness and brilliance as mined diamonds, indistinguishable to the naked eye. For a pair with two large center stones, choosing lab-grown keeps the price far friendlier than mined stones of the same size. The center stone's size, colour and clarity are listed in the jewelry details table.
Wearing and keeping your earrings bright
One point many people forget with screw backs: screw the back just tight enough for the earring to stand upright on the lobe; don't overtighten, as that can hurt your ear and wear the thread faster. If the face tips forward, a small silicone pad behind it can help support it.
Who they suit and when to wear them
These earrings suit anyone who loves glamorous jewelry and wants a clear accent for the face. Large round earrings are perfect for weddings, evening events, anniversaries or important photo shoots, especially with hair worn up or short to show the earrings fully. Paired with a matching halo ring or pendant, they make a harmonious set.
Wear it as a set
These earrings have a matching halo ring: three center stones of the same size and the same prong style, so hand and ears look in harmony when worn together. See the full lab-grown diamond halo jewelry set.
