Buying guide
The studs come with these colored gemstones:
For daily wear, lab-grown ruby and sapphire are the hardest, at 9 on the Mohs scale. Aquamarine and topaz are also tough. Lab-grown emerald and natural tanzanite are softer and do best with gentle care. Many people choose by birthstone, or by the metal the studs will sit beside.
A cushion cut has a square outline with curved sides and rounded corners. Its broad facets show color in wide flashes, so both light stones like aquamarine and dark stones like garnet read clearly. The rounded corners are less prone to chipping. Four prongs hold each stone in a basket stud that sits close to the ear.
The studs come from 0.5 to 10 carats total weight. Gold comes in 10K, 14K or 18K. Cool stones such as lab-grown sapphire and natural aquamarine look crisp in white gold, platinum or silver; warm stones such as citrine and garnet glow in yellow or rose gold. Prices start under $200, and many pairs are about $400.
