Diamond studs are sold by total carat weight (TCW), which is the combined weight of both diamonds. For example, a pair with a total carat weight of 1.00 consists of two diamonds of .50 carat each.

We have diamond stud earrings in a wide range of sizes from under one-quarter carat total weight to over five carats total weight. We offer round and princess cut diamonds and your choice of three diamond qualities: Fine, Finer, and Finest. This gives you the flexibility to choose a pair of studs that matches your size and quality preferences while staying within your budget. You can also choose studs with either 14k white gold or yellow gold settings. Our diamond studs are matched by hand by our own in-house diamond expert.

Hand-Matched Diamonds

Hand-Matched Diamonds

Every pair of Shane Co. diamond studs is meticulously hand-matched by Liz, one of our diamond experts who’s been with us for over 30 years. First she puts the diamonds into groups of the same size, carat weight, and grade. Then she examines the stones individually within each group to find pairs with the same amount of sparkle. This attention to detail guarantees that your studs will shine with equal brilliance. Only diamonds that match perfectly become Shane Co. studs. The diamond studs at most other jewelers are matched by their grades alone, and since diamonds with the same grade may have different amounts of sparkle, their studs may not look the same.

Finding the right diamond

The measure of a diamond’s beauty is a well-executed cut. Using the 4Cs can help you find the perfect diamond. Carat: Carat is the unit of measurement for a diamond's weight. Rarity means larger diamonds of the same quality are worth more per carat. Clarity: Clarity refers to the purity of the diamond and assesses the number, size, relief, and position of inclusions and blemishes. Color: Color refers to the color within the diamond, not the reflected light. The less color there is, the higher the grade. Even the slightest hint can make a dramatic difference in value. Cut: Cut refers to a diamond's symmetry, proportions, and polish, which determine how the diamond’s facets interact with light. Shane Co.'s diamond buyers go to the stone cutters around the world and hand-pick diamonds with the most sparkle from within each grade for our stores and our website. Whatever diamond grade you choose, you will clearly see the difference in the way Shane Co. diamonds sparkle.

Can you buy loose diamonds?

Buying a loose diamond can offer many benefits. When you purchase a center diamond stone separately, you will be able to find a diamond that matches your desired specifications and quality characteristics. Once you find the perfect diamond, you can have it mounted on your chosen setting for a beautifully customized piece.
