Lab Grown Diamond Stud Earring Price by Carat
Stud earrings are sold as a pair, and the carat weight quoted is the total for both ears. A 1 carat total pair has two 0.5 carat diamonds. Keep that in mind when you compare prices across jewellers, because some quote the weight of one stone.

Lab Grown Diamond Earring Price by Style
Solitaire studs are the most popular, but the style changes both the look and the price. Here is what each style costs at Chaitra.
| Style | Price Range (Pair) | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Solitaire Studs | ₹19,899 to ₹3,31,699 | Daily wear, office, first diamond |
| Cluster Studs | ₹21,999 to ₹2,37,699 | Bigger look on a smaller budget |
| Halo Studs | ₹52,699 to ₹1,72,299 | Extra sparkle, special occasions |
| Huggies | ₹26,799 to ₹3,29,499 | Stacking, everyday shine |
| Drop Earrings | ₹28,399 to ₹2,53,299 | Weddings, parties, sarees |
| Hoops | ₹35,699 to ₹2,96,099 | Statement pieces |
Live Chaitra prices, November 2026. Entry prices are in 14K gold; the top of each range is the largest stone in the highest gold purity.
Key Finding: Cluster studs start at ₹21,999 and give the face-up size of a much larger solitaire, because several small diamonds are set together. They are the best way to get a big look under ₹30,000.

How Big Each Stud Size Looks
Carat is weight, not size. For round studs, this is roughly how wide each stone measures face-up:
| Total Carat (Pair) | Each Stone | Approximate Diameter | How It Reads |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5 ct | 0.25 ct | 4.1 mm | Delicate, ideal for daily wear and second piercings |
| 1 ct | 0.5 ct | 5.1 mm | The classic size, noticeable but understated |
| 1.5 ct | 0.75 ct | 5.8 mm | Clearly visible across a room |
| 2 ct | 1 ct | 6.4 mm | Statement studs for evenings and weddings |
Oval, pear and marquise studs look larger than rounds of the same weight because more of the stone faces up. If you want more visible size for the money, choose an elongated shape.
How Gold Purity Changes the Price
Studs use little gold, so purity changes the price less than it does on a ring. Here is the Round Four-Prong pair at three sizes:
| Total Carat | 14K | 18K | 22K |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5 ct | ₹32,599 | ₹39,299 | ₹47,299 |
| 1 ct | ₹49,799 | ₹57,399 | ₹66,299 |
| 2 ct | ₹89,199 | ₹98,499 | ₹1,09,399 |
Yellow, white and rose gold cost the same at each purity. 14K is the most practical choice for earrings you will wear every day, because the extra alloy makes the posts and prongs harder.
Lab Grown vs Natural Diamond Earring Prices
Lab grown and natural diamonds are chemically, physically and optically identical. Both are graded by IGI using the same standards. The difference is price.
| Pair | Lab Grown (Chaitra, 14K) | Natural Stones Only (F-G, VS1) | Saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 ct total (2 x 0.5 ct) | ₹49,799 | About ₹3 lakh | About 83% |
| 2 ct total (2 x 1 ct) | ₹89,199 | About ₹10 lakh | About 91% |
Natural figures are the low end of 2026 market ranges for F-G colour, VS1 round diamonds (thediamondprice.com), converted at about ₹94 to the US dollar, for the loose stones only. A natural pair also needs a gold setting, so the real saving is larger.
Key Finding: A 2 carat total pair of lab grown studs (₹89,199) costs less than a single loose natural 0.5 carat diamond of similar quality. With earrings, lab grown lets you go up a full size or two for less money.
How to Choose the Right Pair
1. Start With How Often You Will Wear Them
For daily wear, 0.5 to 1 carat total in a four-prong or bezel setting is the sweet spot. Bezel settings wrap the diamond in metal, which protects the edge and stops it catching on hair and dupattas.
2. Match the Size to the Occasion
Office and everyday: 0.5 to 1 carat total. Weddings and evenings: 1.5 carats and up, or a halo or drop style that adds movement.
3. Prioritise Cut Over Colour
Earrings are seen from a distance and mostly face-up, so cut quality drives the sparkle far more than a colour grade. Every Chaitra stud uses E to G colour and VVS to VS clarity, which look colourless and eye-clean when worn.
4. Check the Certification
Every Chaitra piece is IGI certified. Diamonds above 0.5 carat come with their own IGI report; smaller stones are certified with the piece. All gold is BIS hallmarked.
5. Know the After-Sales Terms
Chaitra pieces are made to order, so there are no change-of-mind returns. If a pair arrives damaged, defective or not what you ordered, tell us within 14 days of delivery and we replace it. Lifetime exchange credits gold at 100% and diamonds at 90% of today’s value, and lifetime buyback pays 100% of the gold value plus the diamond’s market value less 15%. Shipping is free and insured across India.

Which earring size is best for daily wear?
