The Full Story
The stud earring is perhaps the most democratic piece in fine jewelry. It belongs to everyone, works with everything, and when it's made well — in a real stone, in real gold — it becomes the earring you reach for automatically, without thinking about it.
These emerge from that tradition. The 4mm round cut maximizes the emerald's vivid green in a size that sits comfortably on the lobe without any heaviness. The AAA grade means the stones were selected for depth of color — not too yellow-green, not too blue-green, but that rich, true emerald hue that has been prized since ancient Egypt.
Lab-created emerald was chosen because it delivers this level of color consistency. Natural emeralds at 4mm often have inclusions that compromise their transparency; lab-created stones at AAA grade are clean, vivid, and gorgeous. They are real emeralds — same composition, same physical and optical properties — just grown rather than mined.
Set in solid 14K gold or sterling silver. Made by hand in the USA. The everyday earring, done right.

Can I wear these every day?
Yes. Lab-created emeralds rate 7.5–8 on the Mohs hardness scale, and solid gold maintains its finish through daily wear. These are designed specifically for everyday use.
Are these for pierced ears only?
Yes — standard post with push-back closure, for pierced ears.

We use AAA-grade lab-created emeralds—chemically identical to mined stones but ethically sourced, conflict-free, and with vibrant color clarity.
