How to Buy Diamond Earrings
About our earrings
Sophia Jewelers carries more than eighteen thousand earrings. There are diamond studs, gold hoops and huggies, drop and dangle earrings, pearls, and climbers that run up the ear. Much of it is solid 14K or 10K gold, with sterling silver, platinum and stainless steel for everyday pairs.
Most people start with studs. Our round lab-grown diamond studs go from 1/10 carat up to 4 carats total weight, and there are pearl, sapphire and birthstone studs for every month. Hoops come in three sizes. Huggies under 15mm sit close to the lobe, 15 to 29mm is the everyday hoop, and anything 30mm or more is a statement.
Diamonds come mined or lab-grown, and nineteen other stones are here too. You can also shop by the back: screw-backs, lever-backs, hinged hoops and clip-ons each have their own page. US orders of $99 or more ship free and fully insured, and exchanges are welcome within 30 days.
Good to know
Straight answers on backs, metals, stones and delivery. Pick a topic.
Which earring back is the most secure?+
Screw-backs thread onto the post, so they are the hardest to knock loose. Lever-backs and hinged hoops click shut too. Push-backs are the most common, and the quickest to put on and take off.
What size hoop should I choose?+
Huggies under 15mm sit close to the lobe and suit a second piercing. Hoops of 15 to 29mm are the everyday size, and 30mm or more reads as a statement. Most of our hoop titles give the diameter in millimetres.
Do you have earrings for ears that aren't pierced?+
Yes. Our non-pierced collection has clip-on styles that need no piercing.
Which metal should I choose for sensitive ears?+
Many people with sensitive ears wear solid 14K gold, platinum, titanium or sterling silver without trouble. Gold-plated pieces have a thin layer of gold over another metal. If you know a metal bothers you, check the metal named in the product title.
What is the difference between 14K and 10K gold?+
14K gold is 58.3% pure gold and 10K is 41.7%. 14K has the richer colour. 10K is a little harder and costs less.
Are gold-plated earrings real gold?+
The outer layer is real gold over a base metal such as sterling silver. That layer can wear with time, so solid gold is the better pick for a pair you never take out.
What is a lab-grown diamond?+
A lab-grown diamond is a real diamond, grown in a laboratory instead of mined, with the same chemistry, hardness and sparkle.
What does ct. tw. mean?+
It stands for carat total weight, the combined weight of the diamonds in both earrings. A 1 ct. tw. pair has about 1/2 carat in each earring.
Are your diamonds conflict-free?+
Yes. Our diamonds are conflict-free, from suppliers who follow the Kimberley Process.
Is shipping free?+
Standard shipping is free on US orders of $99 or more, and every order ships fully insured.
Can I return or exchange earrings?+
Yes. Unworn earrings in their original packaging can be returned within 30 days of delivery, and exchanges are welcome too.
What if my order arrives damaged?+
Tell us within 24 hours of delivery with photos, and we will send a replacement or a full refund.
In their words
I love the bracelet. The quality is outstanding. I’m already receiving lots of compliments. I bought it because it’s pink and I’m a breast cancer survivor. I’ll be having my name engraved on it.
Great product...looks better in person then in the picture!! Nice size.
Both pieces are exactly what I was looking for. Simple and beautiful.
