Frequently Asked Questions About Diamond Earrings

What does “carat total weight (ctw)” mean for earrings?

Carat total weight is the combined weight of all diamonds in the pair (or in a single piece with multiple stones). For studs, a 1.00 ctw pair usually means ~0.50 ct per earring.

Which of the 4Cs should I prioritize for diamond earrings?

Cut drives sparkle and should be your first priority; color and clarity can be balanced to taste and budget. Use the full 4Cs to compare options and value.

Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds, and are they good for earrings?

Yes. Lab-grown diamonds have the same crystal structure and grading framework as natural diamonds; they’re created by HPHT or CVD processes and differ only in origin. Many shoppers choose them for value and consistency.

How do I choose the right hoop size, and what’s the difference between inner vs. outer diameter?

Brands list hoop size using either inner or outer diameter (ID vs. OD). Check the product specs and measure your lobe/piercing position; when in doubt, confirm if the measurement is inner or outer. You can measure an existing hoop’s inner diameter with a caliper for accuracy. Inner diameter refers to the diameter inside the hoop, excluding the earring itself. Outer diameter is the total diameter of the hoop, including the width of the hoop.

How should I clean and care for diamond earrings?

Use warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft brush; rinse and dry with a lint-free cloth. Skip bleach, harsh cleaners, and abrasives, which can damage gold alloys. Professional checkups/cleaning 1–2× per year are a smart add. For more information, read our guide on caring for your diamond jewelry.

Does diamond fluorescence matter in earrings?

Typically, no. Research shows most observers don’t see a negative effect; some strongly blue fluorescent diamonds can even appear slightly better face-up. Evaluate each pair in normal lighting and choose what you like.

White gold or platinum for earlobe pieces, does durability matter?

Both are durable for earrings. Platinum is highly wear-resistant and naturally white (no rhodium needed), while white gold is lighter and widely used. Your choice comes down to feel, maintenance preferences, and aesthetic.
