Earring Styles
Round Brilliant Stud Earrings: The 58-facet round brilliant cut maximises light return from every angle — creating sparkle in low office light as naturally as in evening settings. The most popular everyday diamond earring, flattering on all face shapes and ear sizes.
Pricing: €1,179–€1,600 | Best for: Daily wear, office, travel, all occasions
Emerald Cut Stud Earrings: Step-cut facets create a "glassy", mirror-like appearance — sophisticated, modern, and increasingly popular as a daily alternative to round studs. Pairs exceptionally well with yellow gold settings.
Pricing: €1,250–€1,700 | Best for: Professional environments, understated elegance
Emerald cut's open table shows inclusions more clearly than brilliant cuts — VS2 clarity minimum is essential for this style.
Six-Prong Stud Earrings: Six individual claw-prongs distribute pressure evenly around the diamond girdle for maximum security. The most durable setting for a pair worn every single day without removal.
Pricing: €1,300–€1,815 | Best for: Active lifestyles, higher-carat stones, those who rarely remove earrings
Halo Stud Earrings: A ring of smaller brilliant-cut lab-grown diamonds surrounds the centre stone, increasing the apparent diameter significantly. A 0.50ct centre in a halo reads as 0.80–1.00ct+ face-up — the most efficient way to maximise visual presence within a fixed budget.
Pricing: €1,350–€1,750 | Best for: Maximum visual impact, bold everyday style, special occasions
Size & Specification Guide
| Total Carat Weight | Per Stone | Stone Diameter | Best For | Price Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.30–0.50 TCW | 0.15–0.25ct each | 3.4–4.1mm | Petite ears, minimalist daily wear | €1,179–€1,350 |
| 0.50–1.00 TCW | 0.25–0.50ct each | 4.1–5.1mm | Most face sizes, everyday presence | €1,300–€1,600 |
| 1.00–2.00 TCW | 0.50–1.00ct each | 5.1–6.5mm | Statement wear, larger ears | €1,500–€1,815 |
Most popular: 0.50–1.00 TCW offers clearly visible presence without feeling heavy during daily wear.
TCW always refers to the combined weight of both stones. Every Dileti pair is matched for colour and cut consistency before dispatch — a mismatched pair is immediately visible and not acceptable at any price point.
Recommended Diamond Quality
- Clarity: VS2–SI1 — at the small carat weights used in earrings, inclusions are invisible to the naked eye; VS2 is the ideal value point for round brilliants. For emerald cut studs, VS2 is the minimum — the open table makes inclusions visible.
- Colour: G–H for white gold settings; H–I for yellow or rose gold settings — appears white in all settings.
- Cut: Excellent or Very Good — the single most important factor in brilliance; never compromise on cut for a larger stone.
- Matching: Both stones in every Dileti pair are matched for colour and cut grade before dispatch.
- All Dileti earrings include IGI certification documenting the exact cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight of each stone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size diamond stud earrings should I choose?
Most customers choose 0.50–1.00 TCW for everyday wear — clearly visible without feeling heavy or overly formal. Petite ears and slim faces suit 0.30–0.50 TCW; larger faces carry 1.00+ TCW proportionately.
Do lab-grown diamond earrings look different from natural diamond earrings?
No. Lab-grown and natural diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical. Professional gemologists cannot distinguish between them without specialised equipment. The IGI certificate documents all specifications for both stones in every Dileti pair. Learn more →
What metal should I choose for diamond stud earrings?
18K white gold is most popular — neutral, classic, matches most ring settings. Yellow gold is ideal for low-maintenance daily wear and warmer skin tones. Rose gold is the most scratch-resistant and requires no rhodium plating.
Can I sleep in diamond stud earrings?
Occasionally, yes. For nightly wear, a bezel or low-profile four-prong setting is most comfortable and reduces the risk of prongs catching on pillowcases. Six-prong and halo settings are better removed overnight.
What carat weight looks best on petite ears?
0.30–0.50 TCW (0.15–0.25ct per stone) is most proportionate on petite ears and slim faces — keeping the stone diameter under 4.1mm balances elegantly without overwhelming.
How long does delivery take?
5–7 days across Europe via fully insured courier. Free shipping included on all orders. All earrings ship from our EU warehouse within 1–2 business days with full tracking provided.
What is your return policy for earrings?
14-day home trial with free return shipping for store credit. For hygiene reasons, earrings must be unworn and in original packaging to qualify for return.
