Black diamond stud earrings in solid platinum, 14k white, yellow, or rose gold, or sterling silver
Your black diamond earrings are made to order with ethically sourced gemstones and recycled, US-refined precious metals, expertly hand-set in our rural Oregon studio. Founded in 1996, we are a woman-owned US microbusiness creating quality fine jewelry that stands the test of time. Stud earrings are ideal self-love gifts to yourself, with brilliant colors to uplift your spirits and brighten your mood. They are a very popular choice for men's earrings. We also love sending these out as gifts for Mother's Day, Christmas, your partner, or bridesmaids!
Diamonds are April's birthstone and one of the most coveted (and costly!) gemstones on the planet.
It's not just marketing; diamonds are special. They have an unparalleled hardness and durability, and a dispersive property that diffracts light into amazing sometimes multicolored sparkles. It's not uncommon for diamonds to be passed down through generations as sentimental, cherished reminders of loved ones. And a pair of diamond stud earrings is a jewelry collection classic second only to a diamond ring. But maybe your tastes are a little more unconventional? Well, we have options for you.
If you're looking for a more affordable or more nontraditional pair of diamond earrings, black diamonds may be for you! They are fully opaque and thus do not disperse light the way white diamonds do, but the surface of the gems has a bright and shiny gleam that twinkles nicely. They sometimes appear almost metallic depending on what the surface of the gems is reflecting.
Just an FYI - Diamond sizes and weights may vary slightly. The abbreviation TCW under "Size" means total carat weight, of the pair of diamonds. So for example 1 carat TCW means that you get two diamond studs, each of which weighs a half a carat = 1 carat total. These are natural diamonds, mined from the earth, not lab-grown.
For sizes over 1/2 carat, contact us for current market pricing and to set up a custom order! We're a small (okay, tiny) business and these cost us a lot, so we can't take returns on these custom orders unfortunately. If you'd like to check out our quality in advance before investing in diamonds with an unknown company, might we suggest a pair of our less expensive (and also returnable!) gemstone earrings in the same size and metal to add to your collection? We have lots and we're confident you'll love us once you get to know us. We could also arrange a preview of "your" diamond pair via online photos/video before setting.
Pick the perfect jewelry for your unique vibe!
Black diamond jewelry goes with almost any look and any occasion. These pull their weight as mourning earrings, goth earrings, professional earrings, men's earrings, winter earrings, and so much more.
Solid Platinum, 14k gold, and silver post earrings:
Solid recycled precious metal secures your gems using traditional master goldsmithing techniques. We never use glues, cheap lightweight settings, or plated metals. Comfortable and wearable for active lifestyles and those who sleep in their earrings. Nickel free with the exception of 14k white gold. Why waste money and environmental resources on "fast fashion" jewelry when you can invest in the clean luxury of pieces that can endure for decades?
How to choose a stud earring size:
3mm is a tiny stud earring perfect for cartilage and multiple piercings. 4mm is a dainty stud earring that also works well for cartilage piercings. 5mm is a good minimalist everyday stud earring size. 6mm is large, but still casual. 8mm are statement stud earrings with a bold look.

What to know about gemstone jewelry:
Gems (yes, even lab created gems!) are individual pieces of nature's art with minor variations in pattern, color, size, and shape. Gem sizes can vary +/- .2mm. Often, large gems are darker than small ones. I do promise you'll be happy with them, and accept exchanges as well as special requests like "Prefer darker green over lighter" which I will do my best to match within my stock. Some gems are fragile and should not go in an ultrasonic or steam cleaner.
