How to Style Lab-Grown Diamond Studs for Work Dates and Weddings

The easiest way to style lab-grown diamond studs, for women and men, is to keep them small and simple for work, add one piece for dates, and let the outfit lead at weddings.

Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds grown in a controlled laboratory using methods such as CVD and HPHT.

Key takeaways

• Keep studs simple and close-set for work, and match the metal to your watch and rings.

• Add one piece for dates: a pendant for her, a ring for him.

• At weddings, let the outfit lead and choose smaller studs with heavy embroidery.

• Check the certificate, the hallmark, and how the back fits before you buy.

One pair of studs can carry you from a Monday meeting to a Saturday dinner to a family wedding. Here are nine ways to style them, for her and for him.

How to Choose the Right Size

Sizes named on the product pages I could check run from 1 carat to 3 carats. Here is how the pages describe them:

Secure Fit and Settings

The site lists studs with push backs, such as the heart shape stud, and with threaded backs, such as a 2 carat round three prong basket stud. Product names also mention prong, four-prong, martini, and hidden halo settings. Check which back and setting your pair has, look at the photos to see how it sits, and make sure the back fits snugly. The men's 1 carat round stud page describes its stud setting as secure, durable, and comfortable.

Mistakes to Avoid

• Choosing a pair that feels heavy for a full workday.

• Mixing several gold tones in one look.

• Pairing large studs with a heavy necklace and bangles.

• Wearing a new pair to an important event before a full day's trial.

• Skipping the certificate and hallmark check.
