The Ultimate Guide to Pairing Lab-Grown Studs with Any Outfit

Lab-created earrings are quickly becoming a go-to, everyday option for jewelry lovers and fashionistas alike! An ethical origin, combined with the ease of styling them into any outfit, makes lab-grown studs an effortless addition to any occasion or wardrobe. From a day at the office to a modest weekend with friends to a special event, lab grown diamonds can provide timeless style and versatility with a modern twist.

Why Lab-grown Studs Are Your New Everyday Staple

Lab-created studs are as much about sustainability and affordability with peace of mind as they are about beauty. These stones, created using cutting-edge technology (called a high-pressure/high-temperature process), are physically and chemically identical to mined diamonds but are created with a thoughtfulness to their impact and price and are perfect for daily wear jewelry. For the chic consumer, lab-created studs are an expression of this lifestyle as much as they are of style.

Their classic style means that you will never look overdone, yet their subtle shine will catch the light—and attention—as you move about. They are beautiful and perfect for everything "minimalist chic," "everyday layered," "bathroom selfie," and "first date"—and everywhere in between.

Everyday Styling: Casual to Polished

The beauty of styling lab-grown earrings with ease is how easy they are to change up. If you're going for an everyday wear jewelry, start by keeping things simple: 

• Pair small round or princess-cut lab-created studs with a simple pair of jeans and a crisp tee for that little sparkle, daily, everyday look. 

• You could even add on a simple, soft knit sweater, tote bag, and sneakers for an effortlessly laid-back yet put-together look. 

• Complete the effortlessness with other delicate jewelry, like stacking dainty necklaces or wearing slim rings that complement, and you have an overall, understated look!
  

In a work environment, the perfect lab-grown stud will display polish and confidence, all without being distracting. Opting for classic studs elevates a tailored look, be it a blazer and pencil skirt or tailored slouchy wide-leg trousers. Neutral makeup and a tidy hairstyle, whether it be a low bun or sleek ponytail, enable your stud to shine. 

Special Occasions: The Statement Effect

As you prepare for special dinners, date nights, or holiday parties, allow your lab-grown studs to really sparkle. Their lovely brilliance complements:

• Off-the-shoulder dresses or satin blouses.

• Jumpsuits in luxe materials for a contemporary glam look.

• Statement necklaces or layered bracelets, while keeping the rest of your jewelry simple and letting the studs shine.

For evening wear, try pairing with bold lip colors or smokey eye makeup to contrast against the studs’ clarity. Loose curls, an elegant up-do, or even tucking your hair behind your ear can also help showcase their sparkle.

Formal and Black-Tie Styling

Lab-created studs are perfect for black-tie and formal dress jewelry. Their classic elegance allows your dress or tuxedo to shine, and the earrings will beautifully enhance the overall look. Pair with:

• Long floor-skimming gowns or a fitted cocktail dress.

• Tennis bracelets of diamonds or a dainty pendant are go to for everyday jewelry.

• Hair that is polished waves or a decorative chignon and a shot of highlighter to your make-up.

It is all about balance, remember. Formal includes balance within the jewelry and definitely not over-styling your look. Be cautious to not overdo it if your outfit is embellished or patterned; only focus on your stud earrings while the other accessories are more understated.

Creative Styling: Mix, Match, and Layer

The styling of modern jewelry emphasizes self-expression. Lab-grown stud earrings are great for mix match jewelry. Combine all the variants of jewelry according to your style wth our lab created studs. Don't be afraid to:

• Layer multiple earrings in one ear as well as your studs (if you have multiple piercings).

• Combine minimalist studs with bolder cuffs or ear climbers.

• Get creative with color by choosing lab-grown studs that come in fancy shapes or colored stones.

As a general rule, winter and fall outfits of muted colors benefit from bright, crisp stones, while spring and summer outfits pop when you use the fire of a well-cut diamond. And, if you wear a basic outfit or even a monochrome one, your stud earrings become the focus of your outfit, adding light and movement.

Bridal and Milestone Moments

Brides are drawn to lab-grown diamond studs because of their purity, sparkle and charm. Whether you choose a simple round or a more elaborate halo, diamond studs will be stunning on the day of your wedding and will also be something that you cherish in the future. Here are some bridal styling tips: 

• Choose a setting that complements your dress and other bridal jewelry. 

• Match the metal to your engagement ring for a harmonious feel.

• Wear your hair in an updo or down with loose waves to shift the focus to your earrings. 

A new pair of lab-grown studs is also a great way to celebrate a milestone birthday, anniversary, or career accomplishment. To make a keepsake of the occasion, consider having the studs presented in personalized packaging and having them certified!
