Men's Stud Styles in This Collection

Round Brilliant Studs

The most popular style. A single round brilliant diamond in a four-prong or bezel setting. Available from 0.1ct to 0.7ct per ear. Suits all ear shapes and face types.

Princess Cut Studs

Square-cut diamond in a four-prong corner setting. A geometric look preferred by buyers who want a more angular, contemporary appearance.

Bezel-Set Studs

Diamond fully enclosed in a metal rim. Smooth surface, flush with the earlobe. The most secure setting for men who are active or work with their hands.

Black Diamond Studs

Black lab grown diamonds in white gold settings. A high-contrast combination popular for men's jewellery.

Larger Statement Studs

Available from 0.5ct to 1ct per ear for buyers who want a more visible presence. Typically worn on one ear only.

How to Choose Men's Diamond Studs

Size. 0.1ct to 0.25ct per ear is subtle and suits most workplaces. 0.3ct to 0.5ct is clearly visible. Above 0.5ct makes a statement.

Post type. Screw-back is the most secure. Push-back is easier to use daily. For gold stud earrings worn during sport or physical activity, screw-back is the better choice.

Metal colour. White gold shows diamond brilliance most clearly. Yellow gold is a warmer traditional look. Most men in this category choose white gold for a contemporary appearance.

Lab Grown vs Natural Diamond Studs for Men

Lab grown diamonds and natural diamonds differ only in origin and price:

•     Carbon structure: Identical in both. Same hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale, same refractive index, same fire and brilliance.

•     Certification: Both carry IGI or GIA grading certificates with full 4Cs documentation.

•     Price: Lab grown costs 60 to 75% less than a natural diamond of the same cut, colour, and clarity grade.

•     Origin: Lab grown from a CVD or HPHT laboratory. Natural from earth-mined sources.

•     Secondary market: Lab grown has a lower secondary resale market at this time. Natural diamonds have an established resale market. Worth knowing before purchase.

A pair of 0.2ct total weight (0.1ct per ear) lab grown diamond studs in 14K white gold costs Rs.12,000 to Rs.18,000 at Goenka. A natural diamond pair of the same grade starts at Rs.30,000 or more.

Price Ranges

•     Under Rs.15,000 - 0.1ct to 0.2ct per pair. Best for: Minimal daily wear studs, first purchase.

•     Rs.15,000 to Rs.35,000 - 0.2ct to 0.4ct per pair. Best for: Visible studs, work and casual wear.
