Buying guide
The stud comes in two groups of colored gemstones:
Lab-grown ruby and sapphire rate 9 on the Mohs scale and are the toughest choices. Topaz and aquamarine are close behind; amethyst, citrine, garnet, peridot and tanzanite are softer, but earrings take far fewer knocks than a ring.
Many people pick by birth month: garnet for January, amethyst for February, aquamarine for March, lab-grown emerald for May, lab-grown ruby for July, peridot for August, lab-grown sapphire for September, and citrine, tanzanite or blue topaz for the late months. Others match a favorite color or an outfit. Deep colors such as garnet, lab-grown ruby and sapphire show well at small sizes, while pale stones like aquamarine look stronger in larger sizes.
Prongs hold each oval gem over an open cage, so light reaches it from the sides and the stud sits close to the ear. Gold comes in 10K, 14K or 18K. Prices start under $200, and most options are just under $400.
Each piece is made for you in 10–15 days. Shipping is free on orders over $500, and returns are accepted within 30 days.
