Why We’re Comfortable Recommending These Oval Studs
Oval studs have a little more personality than round studs while still feeling timeless. We chose this collection around the details customers actually care about: bright diamonds, clean appearance, secure construction, and clear expectations.
What Does CTW Mean?
CTW means total carat weight.
The listed CTW is the combined diamond weight across the pair.
Each earring is approximately half the total.
A 2 CTW pair, for example, means approximately 1.00 carat per earring.
My Jewelry Guy Take: With oval studs, choose by face-up presence and proportion, not just the carat number. The elongated shape can feel visually substantial, especially in the middle and larger CTW sizes.
Use This as General Size Guidance
This comparison uses round-stud visuals to help you understand total carat weight and ear presence. Oval diamonds have a different outline, so use this as a helpful CTW reference rather than an exact oval rendering.
1 CTW
A refined starting point for first diamond studs, everyday wear, and timeless gifting.
*Visual guidance note: these preview images use round-stud visuals for CTW comparison. They are not oval renderings. Oval diamonds have an elongated outline and can face up differently depending on measurements and proportions.
This is useful for understanding size jumps, but the final oval look depends on the diamond’s length-to-width ratio, measurements, and how you like earrings to sit on the ear.

Both options are solid gold. The better choice depends on how you balance price, gold content, durability, and personal preference.
Choose 10K Gold
A smart choice if you want solid gold durability and a lower price point. 10K gold is practical for jewelry that may be worn often.
Choose 14K Gold
A classic fine jewelry standard with higher gold content and a traditional balance of beauty, value, and wearability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are oval lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?
Yes. Lab-grown diamonds have the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as mined diamonds. They are real diamonds grown in a controlled environment.
Does CTW mean each earring is that carat weight?
No. CTW means total carat weight across the pair. A 2 CTW pair contains two diamonds totaling approximately 2.00 carats combined, or about 1.00 carat per earring.
Why choose F–G color and VS clarity?
F–G color gives the diamonds a bright, white appearance, while VS clarity keeps the diamonds clean-looking without pushing you into grades that may cost more without making a visible difference in everyday wear.
Should I choose oval or round studs?
Choose round if you want the most classic diamond stud look. Choose oval if you like a softer elongated shape with a little more personality and face-up presence.
Are oval studs good for everyday wear?
Yes. Oval studs are still simple and classic enough for everyday wear, with a slightly more distinctive outline than round studs.
Are push backs secure?
Push backs are a classic and widely used closure for diamond studs. As with all fine jewelry, we recommend checking the backs regularly and removing earrings during activities where they could be pulled or snagged.
Why does this take 3–5 weeks?
These earrings are made to order in your selected size and gold choice. The timeline allows for production, quality control, and inspection before shipment.
